Description: The Peace Terms of the Allies By J.W. [James Wycliffe] Headlam Richard Clay and Sons, Ltd. London, England 1917 32 p.; 21.5 cm. (8.5 inches). Stapled paper wrappers. unsigned Slip laid in stating "With the Author's Compliments." First Edition "The last few days of 1916 and the first of 1917 will always be memorable in the history of the war, not for that which happened on the battlefield, but for the singular diplomatic interlude which took place. It is too soon to give a full account of it; no formal answer has been sent by Germany to President Wilson's Note, and even as I write there comes a new letter from the German Emperor, perhaps the strangest, as it is the most characteristic, utterance of any ruler that history records. But if the full narrative and comment on all that has occurred cannot be given yet, we have at least one memorable document: that in which the Allies have officially declared the objects with which they propose to continue the war" [from page 3]. James Wycliffe Headlam, later Headlam-Morley (1863-1929), a British academic historian and propagandist during World War I for the British government, helped in drafting the Treaty of Versailles. .
