WHY WE ARE AT WAR
A REPLY TO GERMAN ACADEMICS.
The following letter written by Mr. Ernest Barker, recently appeared in The Times:
A friend has been good enough to send me the original text of the pronouncement directed by a number of German pro fessors against the book Why We are at War," which was published by some mera. bers of the Oxford Faculty of Modern History Lass Soptember.
The protest, which is entitled "against the poisoning of intellectual weapons, accuses the authors of the misuse of science for political objects. I have no desire to answer an accusation so general and so vague. I would only say that the harnessing of history to the chariot wheels of political propaganda, not merely in time of war, but in the long years of peace, is exactly what scholars outside Germany have charged against German historians for many years past. Tu quoque is, however, no great argument, and without dealing with generalities, of which there is little profit, I will turn to sundry accusations of error in detail which the pronounce ment levels against the books
6 (1)The signatories to the pronounce mont ask whether the authors of the book are ignorant of the fact that eight days

Turning to Pinghsinng Colliery, Mr. Chiang said 500,000 tons of coal wore produced, of which 165,000 tons were turned into coke, while the Thyen mine produced 480,000 tons of iron ore,
During the past year a good deal was done to extend the works. At Hanyang a No blast furnace and a No. 7 steel furnace, were constructed, whilo exter- sions have been made in connection with the steel plate factory, rail mill and fire brick factories.

before the declaration of war, a declara- tion forced on Germany by the mobiliza tion of Russia, the Emperor, trusting in the maintenance of peace, was still absent with the fleet in Norwegian waters and only returned to Berlin on July 26th.'
