MR. ASQUITH'S VIEWS
"A KEPELLANT SPECTACLE." WARNING TO TURKEY. HOPES FOR A~~SPEEDY SETTLEMENT. LONDON, July 22. Mr. Asqmth, speaking at the centenary banquet at Birmingham, said tho spectacle wherewith they were confronted in the Near East was disheartening, even repellant. The Allies were drenching the conquered territories with ono another's blood. Turkey, with tho mk of tho Treaty of London not yet dry, was advancing beyond the agreed line, and endeavouring to\ r,e,cpver her lost territory.- Not unnaturally : 'the nations'-of Europo were ' profoundly moved, and demanded of those with whom as i\ last resource rested tho power of responsibility to terminato thin sombre- chapter of. European history. Britain laboured unceasingly to preserve the United action of tho Powers. If Turkey were ill-advised enough to defy tho Treaty she must ho preparod for the bringing iip of questions not to her interest. Ho believed a speedy settlement was in siirht.
