opinions before a tribunal of the youth
full despots, the emperors of Germany
and Russia, and to abide by their help
! to execute their final determination.
"Our disgraceful Office seems to be
to place ships, guns, soldiers and sailora
at their disposal for the purpose of keep
| ing down the movement for the liberty
of Crete and for securing to these young
despots, who have in no wise earned the
confidence of Europe, the power of de-
Gliding questions which rightfully belong
| to the Cretans."
