(7.25 inches). Stapled stiffened cream-colored paper wrappers with red printing. First Separate Edition "WHAT has the British empire done in the war? All the world knows what the German forces have done. The work of the Russian empire is equally palpable. The world also is in no manner of doubt as to the brilliant and sustained heroism of the French nation. It regards, and justly, the recovery of France after the first reverses as one of the most signal moral triumphs recorded in history. In comparison with these resounding achievements, what has the British Empire to show for its great wealth, its wide territories and teeming population? The British fleet is the first in the world in point of size and reputation, yet it has bombarded no German town, landed no force on German soil, has brought on no general engagement" [opening paragraphs]. Goes on to lavish praise on British achievements during the war, in particular its command of the oceans. Pamphlet is in Near Fine Condition: pages bright, clean, tight to the staples, and unmarked.
