Speaking last night in answer to Bir Edward Grey's speech, Herr Dornburg broke new ground by prcolaiming that he personally believed that Ger mary ought not to annex Bal gium, Sir E. Grey, he said, had stated that the great issue of the war was whether little "natione should be allowed to live. Had that, and not British selfishness, been really the reason she fought, Britain would have been justified in fighting..
