"There can be no doubt as to Mr. Low's being the finest, clearest, most unanswerable statement of England's case as yet presented. It is a noble utterance which covers every point in the most dignified language, and it is difficult to conceive how anything stronger and truer can ever be written.
"The British may well rest their case on Mr. Low's admirably expressed appeal to the fairness and intelligence of the civilized world."
— Philadelphia Public Ledger.
"The best because the most compact and lucid statement of the English case that has yet appeared is the reply of A. Maurice Low, the Washington correspondent of the London Morning Post, to the German statement put forth by Ambassador Count von Bernstorff.
"Mr. Low puts it unanswerably as follows * * * "
— Louisville Courier-Journal.
"On this page is printed a remarkable article by Mr. A. Maurice Low, Washington correspondent of The London Morning Post, and a writer of distinction and ability. Mr. Low makes a thorough study of the German contentions and both his argument and his conclusions are intensely interesting and instructive. The contentions upon which Count von Bernstorff, German Ambassador to the United States, bases his entire case are examined in detail and proved to be absolutely fallacious and untenable, in the light of the official correspondence and the facts.
"Mr. Low not only justifies Great Britain's participation in the war as an obligation of honor which could not be avoided but he finds that the entire responsibility for the war rests with Germany, and that any peace is impossible until the main issue is decided and German militarism definitely destroyed beyond all hope of resurrection.
"The article is certainly one of the best of its kind that has been written, and should be read by all those who desire a concise and authoritative statement of the points at issue and an examination of the German defence. It is the first duty of patriotism to be informed on the present war, so far as essentials and principles are concerned, and Canadians generally will be well advised to read Mr. Low's discussion."
— The Toronto Daily News.
"The publishers have thought it desirable to include in this volume, for the purpose of giving to the presentation of the case against Germany a full measure of completeness, a statement from the well known writer Mr. A. Maurice Low, who discusses without heat, but with the authority of a scholarly publicist, the evidence and the documents on the causation of the war and the relative responsibilities of England and Germany."
