 Reiterating that the Allies were pre- pared for peace only on the terms of his declaration of November, 1914, MT. Asquith proceeded:
 ''The Chancellor first misquotes my language, then proceeds to distOrt its obvious meaning and intention. Great Britain and France entered the war not to strangle Germany or wipe her off the map of Europe not to destroy / or mutilate her national life, certain ly not to interfere with--to use the Chancellor's language-the free eXer- else of her peaceful endeavors.
 AS a result of the war we intend to establish the principle that inter national problems must be handled by free negotiation on equal terms be- tween free peoples, and that this set clement shall no longer be hampered Or swayed by the overmasterng die tation of a Government controlled by a military caste. That is what 1 mean by the destruction of the military domination of Prussia-nothing more, but nothing less"

YANKEE TREATMENT
 HAVING BIG SUCCESS
Ninety-Eight Per Cent. Of Wound.
 ed Returned to War

London, April 1-Ninety-e eight per cent. of the wounded soldiers treats ed at the American Women's War hos pital have been cured or improved, according to a report just issued on the second thousand cases handled by that institution. The hospital is at Paignton, South Devon, with Sir Will liam Osler, formerly of Johns Hop l1ins, as consulting physician, and Dr. Penhallow as chief surgeon. The report shows that of the sur gical cases sixty-three per cent. were cured and thirty-three per cent. i'm proved. The same percentage of cures and improvements were secur- ed in medical cases. In the thousand cases there were but five deaths, or considerably less than one per cent. The promptness with which relief is given to men on the battlefield i'm mediately after they are wounded is
 brought out by the statistics of the
 report. Of the total wounded cases,
 one quarter of them had received inn
 mediate first aid field dressing, and an additional thirten per cent. had received this field dressing within one
 hour of being wounded, while a small remaining percentage were treated

 Gas-poisoning is one of the princi- pal causes of the cases treated, and while typhoid has been largely re- duced there were seven cases. The number of amputatiOns was fourteen, which, considering the number of serious cases, was an exceptionally favorable showing.
 AS showing the different classes of wounds received in action, the fol- lowing percentages were given on perforating wounds; shrapnel 12 per cent; shell 2 per cent; bullet 39 per cent; grenade 1 per cent. In sur- face wounds the percentage of shrap- nel injury is greater and of bullet in jury less. The wounds from bayonets is the smallest, being less than one per cent.

OSBORNE CHARGES
 "FALSE AS HE'LL"
Counsel Asks Striking Out Of
 Felony Count

White Plains, April 11.-Alleging that felony count charging immor- ality has been set forth under the guise of misdemeanOr indictment found against ex-Warden Osborne of Sing Sing prison, counsel for MT. Os- borne appeared before Justice Platt in the supreme court yesterday and urged him to strike out this count, up- on the ground it is a violation of his constitutional rights. George Bordon Battle cOntended for Mr. Osborne that under the indictment it now stands charging only a misdemeanor it would be possible to try the former Sing Sing prison chief before a justice in special sessions and that if tried in the su- preme court he will be entitled to only five peremptory challenges, whereas if the felony charge were made direct instead of by innuendO he would get twenty challenges,
 Br. Battle told the court that Justice MOIschauser had stricken out two counts, one of which charged MT. Os- borne with being absent from the pris- on and the other With failing to report felonies. He said that the sixth count setting forth alleged imm orality, is a separate and independent felony, and is a manifest absurdity, having no connection with the neglect of duty in- dictment.
 ''As False As He'll"
 You might just as well say that MT. Osborne killed a number of inmates" continued MT. Battle. These infamous charges are as false hell itself We desire to- face these false and un- found charges, but we want to meet them under legal indictment. and not by innuendo."
 William J. Fallon assistant district attorney, who appeared in the absence of District Attorney Weeks argued that the court had no inherent power to strike out the count, adding:
 We say that the indictment is very sound and good. We say that this man not only did not prevent crimes but went aming the convicts by the power of his position and committed crimes himself Therefore we say he was guilty of neglect of duty"
 At the conclusion of the arguments Justice Platt reserved decision and di- rccted that briefs be submitted. He excused the extra panel of 150 tales men that had been drawn for the trial of MT. Osborne until April IS.

 The observers point out that when the assailant realizes that he has failed to attain his objective, he in- variaply delivers an extended assault with great violence before lapsing in to normal trench warfare. Such was the great German attack during the battle of Ypres on November 10, five days before the battle ended, and the first French battle in Champagne on March IS, 1915, also closed with violent assault In these operations the assailants hope to surprise the defender by an unexpected effort and to vrest from him, by taking him un- awares. the reward of their own sac rifices.
