About this book

The contents list pieces titled “Why Britain went to War” and “The Sword of Peace”, along with an appeal to the American people. The appeal to the American people says that it comes from England at war and is addressed to the reader’s nation, because upon that nation rests the issue of this conflict.

The text describes Germany declaring war upon Russia and striking at France through the peaceful land of Belgium, with the swiftness of years of premeditation. The writer says the aim is to put an end to militarism in the world for evermore, and that the fight is not to destroy Germany. On food, the writer says the whole of the present stress for food is an artificial stress due to the vehement selfishness of vulgar-minded prosperous people. On Russia, the text says that Russia can only become powerful enough to overcome any highly civilised European country by raising its own average of education and initiative.
