ment Declares Entente Allies
viii Win-Many Secrets
Are Barred.

London, Nov. 4.-Appearing in the
house of commons for the first time
since his illness, Premier Asquith
made his long expected address on
the war before a throng that damned
all the galleries. He defended the
allies conduct of the war and an
nounced that Sir Frederick Edward
Smith, solicitor general had been ap-
pointed attorney general to succeed
Sir Edward Carson, who also made a
speech.
Sir Edward denounced the British
method of conducting the war and
blamed Sir Ian Hamilton for the fail
ure of the Dardanelles campaign.
Premier Asquith gave the house
much light on Britain's war policy.
He declared:
That King Georges injuries were
not serious.
That the financial situation of Great
Britain was serious and the nation
must be prepared to make far greater
sacrifices than it had yet experienced.
That there was full agreement be-
tween Great Britain and France to
maintain the independence of Serbia
and not let her become the prey Of
the sinister and nefarious combina-
ton of Germany, Austria and Bull
garia."
That he was as confident as ever
the allies were going to carry their
righteous cause to triumphant
issue; and he was not going to shift
the burden from his shoulders until
satisfied he was unable to bear it.
That Field Marshal Sir John French,
commander of the British forces on
the Franco-Belgian front, was now in
command of nearly 100000 men.
That the total casualties in France
and Flanders amounted to 377 900.
That he accepted his full share of
responsibility for the first attack on
the Dardanelles, which resulted in fail
ure, with the loss of several capital
ships.
That Venizelos when premier of
Greece asked France and Great Brit
ain, September 81, for 100000 men to
aid Serbia with the express under
standing that Greece would mobilize.
But the Greek king repudiated the
pact.
That he himself was determined the
allies should win the war, and sooner
than not win it l would not hesitate to
propose some form of compulsory en-
listment."

Trooper Killed.

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 3.-Rallying his
shattered forces, General Villa re-
sumed the attack on Aqua Prieta.
The Villistas approached the Next

J. 5. ENVOY TO
LEAVE BELGIUM
Return of Brand WhitIock Is
CaveII Case Echo.
ILLNESS GIVEN AS REASON
American Minister Recently Criticized
by German Press Which Sua-
gested That Wilson Re-
call Him.

Washington, Nov Brand Whit
lock, United States minister to Bel
GUM, is returning home. This an
nouncement was made here on
Wednesday.
The reason given for Whitlocks re-
turn is i'll health. His physician, it
was stated, has advised him that he
would be unable to regain his health
if he persisted in his strenuous du-
ties at Brussels.
Although it has been known for
some time that Minister Whitlock has
been in i'll health, the announcement
that he was returning at this time
caused a sensation.
The fact that German newspapers
have criticized in the most severe
terms Whitlock's activities in behalf
Of Edith Cavell, the nurse spy, whom
he tried to save from execution, some
even demanding that his recall be
asked, aroused considerable specula-
ton.
That he has been summoned home
by the state department after Ger
many had protested against the max
ing public of his account of the Cavell
execution, was the belief in some
quarters.
He indirectly charged breach Of
diplomatic confidence against the Brit
ish foreign Office for making public
the report from Secretary Gibson of
the American legation at Brussels.
Whitlock in his report said that the
publicity caused him serious embar-
rassment with the Germans. He add
ed, however. that he believed this had
been fully cleared up.
At the time Miss Caven was SEN
fenced to death, Whitlock was con-
fined to his bed, but made an effort
to save her by using his secretary and
securing the aid of the Spanish min
lister.

AMERICAN NOTE CALLS
BRITAINS ACT ILLEGAL
President Wilson Tells England She
Must Keep Hands Of United
States Trade.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Couched in
more emphatic language than any yet
employed is the American note to be
presented to Great Britain this week
protesting against violations of Ameri-
can maritime rights and demanding
that further interference with our
trade shall cease.
The United States declares:
1. That it's sovereign rights have
been invaded by the limitations, risks
and liabilities imposed by Great Brit
ain upon the ships of neutral powers
2. That the procedure observed by
Great Britain under the various or
ders in council is illegal
8. That the British blockade, as de-
scribed in the orders in council and
applied Hereunder, is not binding
because it is not effective.
4. That the blockade is ineffective
in that it discriminates between the
trade of neutral nations.
5. That the effect of British opera
lions is to blockade neutral countries,
which, of course, is in violation of in
ternational law.
6. That British practice subjects
neutral ships proceeding to neutral
ports to the same suspicion of guilt
which attaches to neutral ships
bound for ports of enemies of Great
Britain.
Z. That British practice results in
ed by Germany through neutral ter
ritory to neutral states and exported
by neutral states through neutral ter
ritory to Germany.
g. That British practice in interfer-
ing with trade between neutral coun-
tries is not only illegal, but unfairly
conducted.
8. That British practice imposes the
burden of proof of innocence upon
neutral shippers, whereas the burden
of proof of guilt should rest upon the
captor.
10. That the method observed by
British cruisers in taking neutral
ships into port for visit and search
works hardship upon the neutral own
ers and shippers and is not in accord
ance with the requirements of interna-
tional law.
II. That the contraband list as ex-
banded from time to time by Great
Britain is arbitrary and in violation
of recognized practice.
IL. That British Interpretation and
application of the doctrine of continu-
Gus voyage is not in accordance with
the Interpretation and application of
the doctrine by the North during the
Civil war.
