Asquith, speak- ing at Ladybank, on Saturday; said that in the course of the last fort- night they had the ridiculous legend circulated that the government had were making proposals for settle- ment of the home rule difficulty to engineer a plot to provoke Ulster. From the same quarters it had been suggested that he took on the office was complete moral and constitu- tional justification for the applica- tion of the parliament act restricting the powers of the house of lords in the case of the home rule bill, He continued: . "None the less we are earnestly anxious, if it is possible, to work out the agreed settlement." Mr. Asquith said his local eption proposal was not only fair but. gen- erous, and spoke with pleasure of the desire voiced by the unofficial members of parliament on hoth sides of the house during the current de- bate to find a road to a settlement. He added: } : "I firmly beliave that in time and with experience there will he a con- complete Irigh unity." The premier then gave the idea of a federal scheme for the British Isles hig blessing. He said that the same of war secretayy for the purpose of escaping from of crossing swo } tion. Asquith, proceeding, said that without going into ihcidents connect- ed with the resignatjons-vof Seely, French - and Ewart, which had brought about the present position, he declared there had been genuine misunderstandings and honest mis- takes, but in his deliberate opinion there had been nothing in any stage or any quarter which would throw or oughly to throw the least doubt on the: integritymor hoor of those im- diately or dirfctly concerned. (Beers. A grave situation was Created both with regard to the discipline of the army and its relation to the civil power. There was a certainty that if things went on as they promised to. do a controversy would have afisen which every patriotic man would have been anxious to avoid. It was for that reason he felt it his duty in the highest interests both of the army and state to add to the responsibilities already . sufciently heavy by taking charge of the admin- istration of the army himself. (Cheers.) He had been some years chairman of the Council of Imperial Defence. No one had better reason for knowing the zeal, devotion, duty, sense of responsibility, settled tradi- tions, discipline and honor which | process must be applied with the necessary variations and without un- due delay to other parts of the Unit- ed Kingdom Before closing, Mr. Asquith made a bid for labor support by enumerat- ing the reforms projected He re- marked that with one exception re- cent bye-elections had been lost by the government hy a split "ig the progressive vote.'

Twenty-two processions from every part of London met in Hyde Park, where fourteen speakers' stands had been erected. Hon. Arthur J. Bal- four, former conservative premier, was one of the principal speakers: Suffragists created a diversion during the demonstration, and as a result "General" Mrs. Flora Drum- mond and the Misses Rogers and Vir- tue were arrested. The women, about 1.000 strong, marched through the Lordon streets to the park, and although the police had not given a permit for the pro- ceysion the women forced their way through the crowds gathered at the gates of the park. The women were waving the suffragist colors. Immediately on their satrance to the park crowds of rowdies charged | them, and for nearly an hour a fierce fight was in progress, the police hav- ing repeatedly to interfere to save the women from the mob. Miss Virtue was on the point of being thrown into the Serpentine, when policemen got her out of the bands of her tomentors, In the meantime: Mrs. Drummond and other speakers, perched on "the shoulders of male sympathizers, har- angered the crowd, making a partieu- lar point of interfering with the unionist speakers, William Byrdette- Coutts and William Joynson Hicks, both of whom are members of parlia- ment.

When | 'emergencies arise it is the duty of the soldier, and of the civilian, to comply with demands of the civil | power. Those present tory doctrimes strike at the very root not only of army discipline, but democratic gov-! ernment. If we were to recognize the existétice of dispensing discrimina- | ting pOWEr we must recognize it not! only in officérs, but in men, and not only in the army, but in every body of public servants. "I am anxious for peice," the pre-! mier added, "but, and I say this for both sides, it must bé peace with honor. In any settlement come to! we must secure the placing of the home rule bill on the statute book. We must see spme process applied with necessary 'variations, and ap- plied without undue delay, to other parts of the United Kingiom. Such reconstruction of our constitution or- ganization would lead to greater efficiency in the conduct both of our local and imperial interests." Pro- posals to be submitted for settlement to the commons were not only fair But generous. The government was honestly anxious to effect a settle- ment. In conclusion; Mr. Asquith, in expressing his anxiety for peace, #poke of the desire which had been shown by members of both sides of the house belonging to the back benches that a settlement should be reached, : No Referendum Premier Asquith definitely refused fhe unionist demand that the ques- tion of home rule should be sub- mitted to the electors. He said: "We believe it to be a wise and just measure, and we have disclaim- ed, and will continue to disclaim, any submission it to the country."
