The subtitle of this book of 309 pages is: A Fresh Consideration of the Case between Germany and Ourselves. It is perhaps impossible that during the war an Englishman could write impartially of the deadly differences between his own country and Germany. But this author certainly writes without passion of the hate of Germany for England of the various currents of opinion with reference to the war aims of Germany, of their relative weight and of the hope of reconciliation after the war. But though most moderate in tone and temperate in judgment, the author concludes that no lasting peace is possible, until Germany is completely defeated.

A simple but stirring account of the wonderful relief work by which millions of the Belgian people are kept from starving. The author is the wife of the American manager of the Brussels office of the Relief Commission and spent a few months with him.
Most of the books on Belgium, published in this country, deal with the German atrocities. Here there is no direct mention of German cruelty, although the whole book is overshadowed by German bayonets. The emphasis here is on the fine points of human nature which calamity called out both from the Belgian people and the charitable souls from all over the world. The burden of the book is an appeal to America to keep up the work of Belgian relief.
The introduction to the book is written by Herbert Hoover, formerly in charge of the Belgian relief, now United States food administrator.
