Preliminary History of the Armistice: Official Documents published by the German National Chancellery by Order of the Ministry of State. Translated by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Division of International Law. New York: Oxford University Press, American Branch. 1924. pp. xii, 163. $2.00. This is also a German White Book, issued by the Republican Government of Germany in 1919, consisting of official German documents giving the various reasons which caused Germany to request an armistice from the Principal Allied and Associated Powers. The documents, which were taken from the archives of the German Foreign Office and from the Imperial Chancellery, cover the period between August 14 and November 11, 1918, and consist of the conferences and the deliberations that took place between the German Government and the Supreme Army Command after the latter had come to the conclusion, owing to the military reverses of July and August 1918, that German victory was no longer possible. The JOURNAL has received from the publishers, Rousseau & Company, Paris, a brochure in French of 66 pages entitled Le nouveau droit international public et sa codification en Amérique, by Alejandro Alvarez. It is a detailed syllabus of the contents of a work under that title in two volumes which Dr. Alvarez intends to bring out and present to the meeting of the American jurists in Rio de Janeiro in 1925 for the purpose of codifying international law. Dr. Alvarez was a delegate of Chile to the Fourth and Fifth Panamerican Conferences, and of Ecuador to the meeting of American jurists in 1912 for the codification of international law.
