Synopsis

Excerpt from Stakes of the War, Summary of the Various Problems, Claims, and Interests of the Nations at the Peace Table

I have read with much interest and instruction this book. It sets forth in a concise and readable form the relevant facts in respect to every country whose condition is likely to be the subject of consideration by the powers who shall make the treaty of peace for the great war and construct the machinery for the maintenance of future peace. Alsace-Lorraine, the Trentino, the country about Trieste, the Balkans, the Baltic provinces, the Ukraine, Constantinople, Armenia, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Persia, Africa, and the German colonies are all discussed in sententious paragraphs, with the statistics which one wishes to have, and which it is difficult to find elsewhere massed all together in one volume. The various plans for the disposition of these lands, with the probable attitude of the interested countries toward such plans, is also summarily set forth. The book is not an argumentative or contentious work. It takes no side. It is a book of ready reference. It is practical in its information because all the various countries likely to cause dispute between the Powers are laid down upon a small chart, so to speak, where they may be compared. It is a book most valuable to every one who expects to follow the course of international politics and settlements in this war. Its publication could not be more opportune. The names of the authors are an earnest of its fairness and accuracy.
