houses of Parliament, said that Ger
man sggressions had gone on for forty
wears. France, he declared, had borne
them with remarkable equanlmlty IN
Der deep attachment TO peace.

misses and other efforts" he continued

noting peace we and our allies have
been attacked by surprise.
"The liberties Of Europe have been

the police registers before the war
broke out, and il is thought impossible
that all left the city.

both sexes have been arrested as spies
