MRS. ASQUITH'S MEMORIES. THE LANSDOWNE LETTER In the instalment published last month in the Sunday Times of ber Autobio graphy, Mrs. Asquith refers to the letter by the Marquis of Lansdowne, which ap peared in The Daily Telegraph in Nov. 1917, and areated much discussion by its comments on the war. Mrs. Asquith! writes:

"On November 29th, 1917, my husband called me into his library. Professor Gil bert Murray, Lord Charles Montagu, and Lord Lansdowne were coming into lunch at 20, Cavendish-square, and it was past one o'clock.

**I found him walking up and down. He put The Daily Telegraph into my handa, saying, I would like you to read. this quickly before Lansdowne arrives.

I sat down and read the memorable Jetter by Lord Lansdowne, dated Novem- ber 29th, 1917. When I had finished, Henry "id This is an excellent and seriaible letter which will make a great to-do! It is unfortunately ill-timed, but this it would be always called, whether he had published in when we were winning or losing. I am glad Lansdowne has had the courage to write it.

He weat on to say that though he had never had the faintest doubt for bad be now as to our ultimate victory, he thought the war was likely to end on the Bae spot where it had begun, and that if the minds of men could only sea far enough, they would treat Lansdowne's Ideas with respect,

"I told Lord Lansdowne during lunch what Henry had thought of his letter, at which he said. I am much relieved by what you say. As you know, long hgn I said and you agreed that some nation would have to speak first. If we all wait for the right moment we shall certainly wait for ever. With the collapse, of Italy, and Hugin in a state of revolution, it is, of course, a bad time to speak, but Little as I shall be cursed by everyone, a I less matters nothing. agree with 'your husband; neither the Allies nor the Germans will push their victory inte the enemy's country, and the war will end where it began..

Mr. Bonar Law, Lord Carson, and every newspaper vied with the other next day in vilifying Lord fansdowne, and Loudon, was secri at its worst. He was the Bolo, the Shirker, And the Funk The gutter Press published photographs of Lansdowne House: bracket ed with irrelevant pictures of slams and starving children; nor was it outsiders alone who heaped infamy upon himmem bera of his own family publicly repudias ed him.

"I was interested to observe that this abuso was not universal in Mayfair, and some of our high society had the courage to praise Lord Lansdowne, though-in lowered voices. General Grant and other commanders, home on leave inforsied me that many of our best soldiers, here and abroad, not only agreed with the letter,. but wished it had been written months before.

I saying this I do not mean that Lord Lansdowne or any of his admirers thought that Germany" would win the war I personally never met anyone who thought that although I was told after the armistice the babies of a tow who did but many of the men, whose judgment I valued foresaw, with singular accuracy, how little there is to be gained by a long war; even to the victors Large fortunes, however, were being accumist. ed, and it is surprising how easily non- combatants get acclimatised to Death?
