ASQU|TH REPLIES TO
GERMAN CHANCELLOR

of government reception to visiting
French senators and deputies at Ian.
caster House Premier Asquith took
the opportunity to reply to the speech
recently delivered in the reichstag by
the imperial German chancellor, DR.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg.
Reiterating that the entente allies
are prepared only for peace on the
terms of his declaration of November,
1914, Mr. Asquith proceeded:
"The chancellor first misquotes my
language and then proceeds to distort
it's 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 de
stroy or mutilate her national life;
certainly not to interfere with, to use
the chancellor's language, the free ex.
ercise of her peaceful endeavors.
"As result of the war we intend
to establish the principle that inter.
national problems must be handled by
free negotiations on equal terms be-
tween free peoples, and that this set.
tlement shall no longer be hampered
or swayed by the overmastering die
tation of a government controlled by
a military caste. This is what
mean by the destruction of the mill
tary domination of Prussia-nothine
