less in an arrangement imposed by
either victors or vanquished when
sets at defiance the historic tradi.

Premier Asquith made this declara.
ton In addressing a mass meeting at
Leeds under the auspices of the war

German reply to the papal note as
tceming with 'nebulous and unctuous
keneralities," but giving no indication
that Germany will take any practical
steps to open The road to real and
