to arrive at the decislon until the very
last moment. They ALWAYS waited till
pressure forced them 10 form some
kind of decision, The result OF these
hastily conceived measures had been
throughout deplorable, In theabsence
OF any fixed policy the government
had adopted the absurd
plan OF taking advantage
Of the chivalry and self.devotlon OF
one OF the noblest spirits of the age, to
