WHEN BLOOD IS THEIR ARGUMENT An Analysis of Prussian Culture BY FORD MADOX HUEFFER 2/6 net "A lively, personal, and extremely persuasive indictment of modern Prussianism. . . . A clever, penetrating, caustic style drives home every point, and a sharply whetted memory provides him with perpetual material, which is continually employed with great adroitness and resource. Mr. Hueffer has done a public service by writing this book. It is a book of genuine importance and of a wide significance. It is to be hoped that it reaches Germany, as well as Great Britain and the United States."-Daily Telegraph. "No book that I have read-and I have read dozens-shows the making of war-mania so clearly as Mr. Ford Madox Hueffer's remarkable volume 'When Blood is Their Argument.' After reading it one sees that this war will fix, once and for all, the fate of mankind. .. I hope Mr. Hueffer's book will be read in the United States, for Kultur has yet to be understood by the greatest Republic on earth. I hope it will be translated into all the neutral tongues, for the neutral nations have yet to learn what Kultur means for them and their children. I hope it will be digested by the workers of this country and every other country, for the workers have still to grasp what Kultur means for them and their offspring. Lastly, I hope it will be studied by business men, by men of letters, by artists, by the learned professions, for they also have yet to lay hold of the true meaning of Kultur."-James Douglas in The Star. "Nobody knows Prussia and its Prussianised dependencies better than Mr. Hueffer, and his indictment of the form of so-called civilisation which the flesh-and-blood mechanism of German militancy is now prepared to force on Europe and England is the most effective that has yet appeared. . . . Every patriotic Briton should read it to the end that he may be able to argue more effectively with the enemy inside the gates-an enemy who is often quite unconscious of his hostility to the cause of true civilisation."-Morning Post.
