ASQUITH CLASHES
WITH THE KING?
Failed to Respond to Sum-
mons to Visit Windsor
Castle

LONDON, Jan. 3f.-Politicians are
today discussing eagerly the evidence
that clash has taken place between
King Edward and Premier Asqulth.
II develops that on last Tuesday tho
King invited Premier and Mrs. Asquith
to pay a weeks end visit to him at
Windsor Castle, presumably to discuss
the political situation. Such invita-
tions are usually considered in the ma
ture Of commands, to disobey which
would amount 10 an affront to the
King.
On last Saturday, Asquith left for
Cannes, France for a brief vacation
and yesterday a court circular was is
sued announcing that Asquith was not
present at Windsor owing to his de-
parture for the continent"
AS Asquith's action is almost unpre-
cedented. IL is believed that he and
the King have clashed over the policy
to be pursued in the forthcoming par
lament. II is inconceivable that he
would refuse 10 discuss the situation
with the King unless something mad
occurred TO make his acceptance OF the
premiership impossible.
