POEM MAY CREATE
POLITICAL STIR
English Poet Declares The Woman
With the Serpent's Tongue" Was
Inspired by Mrs. Asquith.

NEW YORK, Dec 4--"The Woman
With the Serpcnts Tongue may bring
4 change In the British ministry and
cause one OF the greatest political and
literary sensations England has ever
known, In the opinion of many persons
who read today the startling statement
by William Watson. the English poet
and author OF the poem with the fore
going title. that the poem was physi-
cally inspired by Mrs Margot Asquith,
wife of the British premier, and men
tally by her stepdaughter, Miss Violet
Asquith
Watson waited until he arrived In
this country on visit before admit
tag that the character OF his now tam
Gus poem was aimed az the Asquiths.
thereby removing himself temporarily
from the center of the storm which
cables from England say his admls-
sion has already raised there As long
as he was In England he denied his
poem was dedicated TO the Asquiths or
TO anyone in particular
In explaining what led to the poem,
Watson itells of a visit he made 10 the
Asquith home last June. when he was
surprised 20 hear Miss Asquith say
that a man named Nash. one OF her
fathers secretaries, was the man
who used to write G. B : speeches
for him. BY G. n. she meant the late
Sir Henry Campbcll-Bannerman. Prem
ier Asquiths predecessor, and prob
ably the best loved OF English prem
iers since the days of Gladstone.
Continuing, Miss Asquith said, ac-
cording TO Watson, do Won know. |
have often wondered whether some OF
those phrases Of C. h. 5 that cauSht
on SO much. such as Methods OF bar
barism' and that sort OF nonsense, real

These expressions y y ise-A AS-ii -1.lh-
IL Is practically certain will be taken
as rejecting the sentiments or the
present Premier and cause a storm
cf criticism of Mr.. Asquith,
Watson's signed statement regard
ing the poem is as follows
'The Woman With-the Serpeut's
Tongue is a composite photograph OF
Mrs Asquith and her stepdaughter
Violet. The poem is portrait OF
the physical characteristics OF Mrs.
Asuuith and the mentality OF Miss
Asouith. The latter is the voice of
the family and rules them all Violet
Is the real Official voice speaking
with authority She it is
"who sights the worthiest in the
land.
'Sneers at the just. condemns the brave
And blackens goodness in its grave
The poet says he attempted TO show
his resentment at the reflections cast
upon the dead premier by offering TO-
write in the album OF Miss Asquith
a stirring defense OF Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman.
