2. The neutral flag covers enemy's goods, with the 

 exception of contraband of war. 



3. Neutral goods, with the exception of contraband

 flag.

On the 16th of the same month (October) he 

 had another breakfast party, and " in the after-

 at the House of Lords." Later in the year he 

 attended meetings of the Anglo-German Friend- 

 ship Conference, of the Council of Foreign Bond- 

 holders, of Managers of the Royal Institution, 

 " introduced a deputation to the Dominions 

 Royal Commission on the British Empire Trade

 tional Representation, of the Phoenix Assurance, 

 of the Guayaquil and Quito Railway Commission,
