Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Commemorative Medal in the Service of Germany
For me there are no longer any parties - all are Germans in self-defence, with a pure conscience and clean hands, we draw the sword. To the same category belong the pieces which lay stress on the union between Germany and her Allies. A certain Professor Paul Sturm is responsible for two or three such productions, on which the portraits of the German Emperor, the late Emperor Franz Josef, and the Sultan of Turkey appear together. The motto assigns the Glory to God alone, and discreetly leaves to the beholder the distribution of the shame between the three persons represented. The reverse of one of these pieces (see Frontispiece) shows soldiers of the three Allies as brothers in arms, while a long inscription complains that England wishes to starve us out, Russia to plunder and rob us, France to lay our land waste with fire, andiltaly to avenge the ruin of Belgium. Italy should feel duly impressed by the noble indignation of the German professor at her criminal failure to sympathise with the most striking exemplification of Germany's superior culture.
