63/70 Did you ever read my Address delivered before the Royal Institution of Great Britain[87]? Now that's my idea of the very milk of the word. To come down to daily, deadly things--this upheaval is simply infernal. Parliament opened the other day and half the old lords that sat in their robes had lost their heirs and a larger part of the members of the House wore khaki. To-morrow they will vote $1,125,000,000 for war purposes. |
