Continued from page 1

aside tbs trihes and things OF little
moment and will turn seriously TO the
performance of such public functions
as involve the welfare and honor of the
nation"
"The Daily Chronicle" defending
PREF Ter Asquith, enumerates his multi
farious duties which keep him occupied
from morning till night, and in an edi-
torial remarks:
Because the very facts Of his occu-
patton withdraw Mr. Asquith to some
exte from the public gaze, and be
cause on his public appearances he
preserves always that bearing of Sc
rene cheerfulness and that total abb
sence of fuss which is not the least
factor in his efficiency, It has been
thought worth while 10 put about by
innuendo and suggestion the pretence
that he is not fit for his task. The
real motive for attacking the Prime
Minister is not of course that he IS
weak, but that he is strong. While he
remains in his place our Unlonlst
friends know perfectly well that he
will be, as he always has been, the
strong personality which holds the
Ministry together and unites its varied
and brilliant talents in the powerful
working combination which for the
Unionists in their party capacity is the
stumbling block. With such a govern
ment cooperating under such a head
any talk about a coalition ministry Is
ant TO melt away. Discredit the Prime
Minister and prospects at once look
roster for those hsnkering after a po-
litical change. The maneuvre is not
likely to succeed, because i. ceases TO
be plausible as soon as 1t ceases 10 be
suhterranean."

Separate Peace Talk
Revived in Rome

Rome, March 29.--Pessimism is rap
idiy spreading throughout Austria.
Hungary, where, since the fall OF
Przemysi, even the military authorities
no longer hide their disappointment,
and the people, now threatened with
starvation, wish to see the end Of the
war, according to confidential informa-
ton available here.
The conclusion by Austria Of sepa-
rate peace is no longer considered I'M
possible, since Austria's existence IS
now clearly threatened. Germanys
help is out Of the question. Austria
is now compelled to withdraw troops
from Southern Hungary and the Serb
ian frontier and to concentrate every
effort against the threatened Russian
Invasion of Hungary. Thus Transylva-
n. will be exposed TO attack by Ru-
mania and Bosnia to attack by Serbia,
while Italy may invade the southwest
ern provinces and send an army against
Vienna, which is only two hundred
miles from the Italian frontier.
In the mean time, however, things
.nsy happen which may alter the situa-
ii and render possible the realization
of Italy's aspirations without war.

Alpine Chasseurs
Fight Night and Day
By GORDON GORDON-SMITH.

Porrentruy (Swiss FrvLtier), March
16.-For ten days past the battle in
Upper Alsace has been raging furious
". One hears the thul, of tie guns
without intermission night and day.
All day long the aeroplanes OF the OPP
posing armies sweep through the air
above the plains aud Mountains of AL
SAGE, and all night the searchlights of
the fortress sc LISTEN and other strong
holds are blazing around the horizon.
From Baden. Wurtemberg and Ba-
varia the Germans are bringing up
fresh levies. but the French in their
turn are pouring masses of men
through the "trouee des Nosges," and
the Germans no longer have the nu-
merical superiority on which they so
long relied.
All along the crests Of the Molken-
rain and the heights of Hartmans-
Welerkopf the Alpine chasseurs,
French mountaineers from the Pyr-
enees, the Alps and the mountains
of Auvergne, are fighting day and
night. Their attacks have been so Wig
orOuS and carried out with Sucn skill
that they have inspired something like
a reign of terror among the German
troops. to whom this mountain warfare
is form of fighting to which they are
not accustomed. The French chasseurs
seem TO be everywhere and nowhere,
carrying on a system of guerilla war
fare that gives their adversaries no
rest, night or day. Often they attack
with the bayonet without firing shot,
taking advantage of the cover given by
the snowdrifts and pine forests to
creep on their adversaries.
The mountain guns are handled by
the French troops with a skill and dex-
terity that disconcerts their more
heavy opponents. Every day the French
positions are being strengthened. The
Germans are daily making desperate
efforts TO capture the Molkenrain and
drive the French from the valley of
st. Amarin, through which they re-
ceive from Belfort their reinforcements
of men and their supplies of munitions
So far, however they have invariably
been repulsed with heavy loss. At

They had been WORKING on coasiwise

MORGAN WOULD
STOP GOLD FLOW
Suggestion Made That
British War Loan Be
Issued to Americans.
[By Cable 10 The Tribune. ]

London, March ga well known
English fnancier told The Tribune rep
resentative to-day that J. p. Morgan's
visit had for its chief object arranging
means by which to stop further gold
payments by England to America for
war supplies and turn the stream Of
gold from New York to London. This
financier gave as an example the pay
ments, amounting to S50,000,000, made
/ in the last few months for war sup
plies. He said South America had
owed England this sum, and payment
was made in American coin, which was
Immediately Sent to New York. Amer
lea had become glutted with gold, he
continued, and would much rather have
paymen. in paper and send gold to
London, where It would bring a higher
return.
This man said the situation had be-
come almost as serious for America
through being overstocked with gold
which she could not use as for Eng
land, through a possible drain of its
supply of metal, but the only way out
Of the situation was to persuade the
English government to put out some OF
its treasury bills or exchequer bonds
or make its next war loan in America,
and this was wha. Mr.. Morgan had
come over to try to persuade the gov
eminent to do.
Tenders have been invited for an
issue Of s15.0O0OOO treasury bills on
Tuesday. These bills will be dated
April and run six months. The sug-
gestion was made that Mr.. Morgan
might like % bid FOR these bills through
the London mouse Of Morgan, Grenfell
& Co. and then put them out in Amer
lea through J. 2. Morgan & Co. It is
doubted that an agreement could be
reached in time, however, and 1t is re-
called that Of the last issue Of 100000
600 exchequer bonds the Bank of Eng
land had 10 take 81 per cent in order
TO maintain the price. The English
government would not want the price
TO fall through low bids in America If
publicly offered there, nor would Mr..
Morgan want to stand a loss through
paying a higher price than he could
realize in the market
1t is believed, therefore. the neces-
sitv Of sustaining the price at a GER
tain level probably would complicate
negotiations and make them more or
/ less protracted if satisfactory basis
/ from which to start could be found.

INSIST DRESDEN
SANK OFF CHILL
Germany Says British Com
mander Violated Neutrality
Under Orders.

Berlin (by wireless to SaJville, N
W, March 2S.--The German govern
ment to-day gave out an official state
ment in which IL was affirmed that the
German cruiser Dresden. which was
sunk of the Gillian island of Juan
Fernandez March Ia by British
squadron, was destroyed in neutral wa
tiers.
After condemning the British gov
eminent for the manner in which the
German warship was attacked, 'he
statement says that it will be interest
ing TO see what attitude the Caited
States government will adopt "in the
face Of such a violation OF the neutral
ity Of a South American republic The
statement says:
"The facts are that the Dresden was
living at anchor 800 yards off the coast
in Cumberland Bay, Juan Fernandez
Island, when She was attacked on the
morning Of March IA by gunhre from
the British cruisers Kent and Glasgow
and the auxiliary cruiser Drama.
"Tho Dresden was in neutral port
with her engines disabled and without
coal; apparently with little ammuni-
ton. and practically unable to defend
herself.
after the Dresden, by the first vol
lev of the infinitely superior enemy
was hit astern, the German commander
protested against the violation OF Chh-
ian neutrality, whereupon the COM
mander of the British squadron de-
clared he had orders to destroy the
Dresden wherever he found her and
that he did not care for other ques-
tons which diplomacy could settle al
terward.
consequently. after last effort OF
hopeless resistance. no alternative was
left for the Dresden but self-destruc-
ton.
GLOW brutally CHILEAN neutrality was
violated is proved by the fact that inc
shells of the British cruisers nearly
hit a Gillian ship and that splinters
fell on CHILEAN territory, which prac.
tically amounts to the bombardment. OF
a neutral Gillian port by BRUSH
cruisers because a German cruiser was
inside. hat
"More interesting, however, Is what
attitude the United States government
will adopt in the face Of such Vl0-
lation Of the neutrality OF a SCUM
American republic. Also wnat 'H ne
neutral states of Europe will have to
cav 70 the profession of faith exhib-
jted nv British guns off Juan Fernan-
