What Great Men Think
THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON says :—
" Yonr new book deserves the serions attention of the authorities, as it
vividly depicts a very grave national peril."
:—THE EARL OF HALSBURY says
"The public hasnotyet appreciated the ext€ntto whichGermany hasex.
pondedmoneyand pains in spying. Yourbook will help to maice it known.'*
THE EARL OF PORTSMOUTH says:—
" Your book is most instructive. The national democratic movement
aroused by the war should be employed to expiate all hostile aliens,
from the highest to the lowest."
:—VISCOUNT GALWAY says
" Your book is most interesting. I sincerely hoi)e it will cause more
attention to be paid to the danger to England from German spies."
THE EARL OF CRAWFORD says :—
" I am glad attention is being so prominently drawn to this most
important subject."
:—LORD LBITH OF FYVIE says
" Your book is most serviceable. The Emi^eror William'sspeech shows
how treacheroiisly brutal is his madness for world power, and it opens the
eyes of all Americans who are inclined to admire the Emperor. It
shows his intention to run the elections and to boss the United States.
I hoptf'you will be able to demonstrate who are the degenerates who are
betraying their country by active sympathy and assistance to the enemy."
What the Press Thinks
:—THE DAILY MAIL says
" It is a book which should be carefully studied from cover to cover.
The present arrangement for dealing with Spies Mr. Le Queux pronounces
altogether unsatisfactory."
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says :—
" The discovery of the German Spy system has, we believe, been made
in time, and Mr. Le Queux must take his share in the credit of the dis-
covery. His self-sacrificing energy is vindicated to the world. The stories
which he tells will come as an alamiing revelation to the public."
THE GLOBE sajs:—
"The audacity of some German agents in England, as revealed by
Mr. Le Queux, is only equalled by their enterprise. Mr. Le Queux em-
phasises the point that it is those rich Germans of the Schnlenberg type,
for whom some one in our Government or administration seems to have so
unwholesome a tenderness, who are the most dangerous. There are many
astonishing statements in this most amazing book."
:—THB PALL MALL GAZETTE says
" Mr. Le Queux has devoted special attention toGerman Spies,and his
book will be read with much interest."
THE EVENING STANDARD says :—
'
' Mr. Le Queux has here written on Spies and spying, as sensational
a book as any of his romances. Indeed, it may be questioned whether
Mr. Le Queux would have gone the length of introducing into a fictional
plot so extraordinary a chapter as that in which he reports one of the
Kaiser's speeches."
:—THE SCOTSMAN says
" Mr. Le Queux gives a resume of espionage methods. He goes over
the recent Spy convictions, and describes a considerable number of other
caaes, unpunished, which have come under his own observation. He has
certainly laboured hard to impress the danger of the German system of
spying on the mind of the British public, and gives several instances of the
ease with which communication with Germany can still be carried out."BRITAIN'S
