Evidence:
Thursday 14 March 1915: 'If I'd written this diary last night which I was too excited to do, I should have left a row of question marks at the end. What excited me was the evening paper. After printing [for Hogarth Press] all afternoon I went out later, bought a Star, looked at it casually under the public House lamp, & read that the Prime Minister needed our prayers. We were faced with momentous decisions [...] We evolved from this an offer of peace to France: but it appears to be only L[loyd]. G[eorge].'s way of whipping up his gallery. Anyhow, I was whipped.'
