Meanwhile, Rome might have saved‘ her- self a great deal of money and trouble, if she had “‘ put. a veto on Cato’s over- lasting threatening speeches.” : THE REAL AIMS OF THE ALLIES, Herr Harden, who, efter aliy-will_not. be ‘surprised if his readers. understand him to mean who is Rome, ‘ends by’ point- ing the moral for Germany: at present as follows: * : a - “Only statesmon con add up the pos- sibilities and arrive’ at tho ncecssitics.
