whom they affirm that there Is q degree Of

ssroy, moral responsibility" It illustrates
this declaration by showing that Lord DERDr
did not know war WAS already arrnnged
whom he was caviling about phraaos in tho
protocol, with the vast military preparations

nornuco to two causcs: First, that Cont

that English diplomadsta pay too much at
