not to make peace. Surely, ii any ma

from another, it was the British nat!cn
from the American, after the discovery
of the error of the American govern

Berlin and Milan DEGREES tn November
1910. In consequence OF that error
the American cabinet had ruined num-
bers of our own citizens, who had been
caupbt bv the revival Of the non-Inter-
course law they had revived that law
AGAINST Great Britain, under circun-
stances which now appeared to have
been faliacious; and they had declared
war against her on the suppo.itIon that
she had refused to repeal her orders
in council, after the French DEGREES
were, in fact. revoked; whereas, 1t now
appears, that they were IN fact not re-
voked. Surely the knowledge OF this
error was followed by an instant, * anX-

we're. in fact. revoked, on the knowledge
cf the existence Of tie French decree OF
repeal, surely the American cabinet at
