Of his wish to forego his trip to Amer

ments for the exchange lectures had
been made before the outbreak of tho
war and that now an entirely different
situation prevailed. owing to the ille-
gal treatment of neutral vessels by
England and the political attitude of
the United States" For this reason he

that he must consider 1t impracticable
