ASQUITA| MAKES /
POSITIVE REPLY
Saws There Will be no Peace
While German Menace
Lasts
REMARKS IMPORTANT
International Problems Must be
Handled by Free Negotiations on
Equal Terms to All

London, April 11.-Speaking at a
government dinner to the French de-
puties who are visiting England,
Premier Asquith made a highly i'm
portant reply to the German Cham
cellor's speech. He said that Chancel-
lor Won Bethmann-Hollweg declared
on December 9 that if ne were to
speak of peace proposals he must first
see the enemy's proposals.
"What, therefore" said Premier
Asouith, "the chancellor means by
his readiness to enter negotiations
is that the initiation should come from
rs and the decision rest with him. We
must assume the attitude OF the de-
feated to a victorious adversary. But
we are not defeated and we are not
going to be defeated, and the allies
are solemnly bound not to seek or
accept a separate peace.
"The terms on which we are pre-
pared to conclude peace are the ac-
complishment of the purposes Tor
which we took up our arms-nameiy'
to prevent Germany from establish
hing a military menace and DONNA
ton over her neighbors as her inva-
c;on of Relgium proves that she in
tended at whatever cost.
"The allies have intended as a re-
suit of the war to establish the prin-
ciplc that international problems shall
be handled by free negotiations on
equal terms between free people, un-
hampered or swayed by the overmast-
ering dictation of government con-
trolled by military caste.
"The allies are champions not only
of treaty rights but the independent
status and free development of weak
er countries.
CDR. Won Bethmann-H -Hollweg's claim
that when peace comes Germany must
rive the various races chance for free
evolution along lines of the mother
tongue and national individuality is
highly cynical. After the war the al
lies are determined to see again the
old Belgium. She must not be allow
ed to suffer permanently from the
wanton and wicked invasion. That
broken down country must be repair
ed and restored"
Dealing with the chancellor's at
tempt to justify the present use OF
submarines by Germany Mr.. Asquith
said, that the allies were acting in
accord with the prN.1ciples and spirit
of international law as applied to
the developments of modern war. He
said that he was not aware that one
neutral had been lost owing to the al
lies blockade.
The Dutch vessel Maria, the AM
erican ship w. P. Frye, were sunk
respectively by Germans in Septem-
ber, 1914, and January, 1915. On
February 4, 1915, he said Germany
declared her intention of maintaining
submarine blockade of Great Brit
ain, but not until March II, last, did
Great Britain announce measures
against German trade which the chan
cellor suggests were the cause of the
German submarine policy, ruthlessly
carried out against neutrals and bel
ligerents.

CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR
Prince William Farmer Would An
tagonize Mr.. Swanson.

/
Cincinnatus, :turning burrows on his
farm in Prince William county, read
in the newspapers the statement Of
Congressman c. Bascom Slemp, Re-
publican, of the Ninth District, that
an independent candidate for the Sem
ate in Virginia against Senator Claude
A. Swanson could be assured $4,000
Republican votes land straightaway
went to Washington and announced
his candidacy yesterday.
w. B. Doak, a well-to-do farmer
and sheep raiser of Manassas and
! Clifton Station called on Congress
man Flood, Holland and Watson, SEN
ator Thomas S. Martin and several
others of the Virginia delegation yes
terday, and after expressing AS dis
gust with the delay of the Democratic
party in passing the rural credit bill
said he had read Mr. Slemp's offer to
assure $4,000 votes to an independent
business man who would run for the
Senate in Virginia against Senator
Swanson and had himself decr.,-. to
accept the offer and make the race.
Mr. Doak, man of about forty
years, with red whiskers, told Mr.
Flood he had been Democrat all his
life, had always voted the Democratic
ticket, but that now be believe
President Wilson and the Democratic
Senate and House had broken their
pledge to the farmers to pass a ru-
raj credit bill, and he was going to
turn Republican or independent ana
run for the Senate.
He said he felt certain he could get
the vote of the farmers, and with the
$4,000 Republican votes offered by
Mr.. Slemp he considered his election
sure.
Later Mr. Doak saw Senator Mar
tin and told him much the same story
related to Mr.. Flood. After he told
Senator Martin he was dsgusted
with the way the Congress had acted
about the rural credit bill he informed
him he was going run against Sena-
tor Swanson.
Senator Martin replied that his in
tentions were probably all right, that
any citizen had right to run for
the Senate and that he (Senator Mar
TIM could not object to that, but that
he did object to wasting any more
time talking with him.
The Prince William county farmer
called at Banking and Currency
Committee rooms, but Mr.. Glass was
out. He inquired about the status OF
the rural credits bill before that COM
mitee and when informed the bill was
ready for action when the way was
clear in the House. shook his head in
a doubtful sort of way.
Chairman Carter Glass said that
later Doak called him on the tele-
phone in an impertinent sort of way
and wanted to know how about the
rural credits bill and what was the
House going to do about it. His mar
ner was so aggressive, impertinent
and insolent, Mr.. Glass said, that nc
declined to talk with him and cut
short the conversation.
Congressman Slemp said he had not
seen Doak; that he thought he prob
ably came from Tazewell county some
years ago, and that it was clearly
81 indication that the people of Vir-
ginia were thinking seriously of run
ming an independent for the Senate.
