Excerpt from Great Britain and the Next War Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the historian of the Boer War as well as the creator of Sherlock H aim, the skilled student of military operations as well as the ingenious deviser of plots, he is no less an intense patriot than a clear and logical thinker. Writing early in 1913 to call to the attention of his fellow-countrymen the warning so openly given them by General von Bernhardi in his Gmnany and the Next War, Sir Arthur took occasion to analyze the German general's 'case against Eng land and to answer his contentions in the light of history and reason. His summing up of German motives and German plans is particularly valuable to Americans in the light of after events, and inci dentally the gentle raillery with which he punc tures some of Bernhardi's statements is a delight to every one who has been entertained by Briga dier Gerard. His novel plan for national defence is of peculiar interest to every American who has ever crossed the English Channel, while his advice to his Irish fellow-countrymen seems prophetic.
