rfEN. VON BERNHARDI,
whose books in the present
war caused a sensation through
out the world and who is now
commander of cavalry at Posen,
has written exclusively for the
PUBLIC LEDGER the most im
portant article since the war
began. He not only discusses
the war, but criticises the mili
tary movements up to date
IN
NEXT SUNDAY'S
PUBLIC
He tells why Germany entered the war.
He tells of Germany's grievances against
England, Russia and France.
He says Germany did not enter the conflict for
the sake of material conquest over any
nation.
He puts a new interpretation on the battle of
the Marne.
He analyzes the military operations up to date.
He insists that Belgium was a member of a
hostile conspiracy against Germany.
He insists Germany's advance through Bel
gium foiled a French plan to attack
through the same territory.
Von Bemhardi9 8 German argument
written exclusively for the Public Ledger,
in Philadelphia, by permission of the
Kaiser far overshadows in importance any
article heretofore published concerning the
