ASQUITH WEAKENS IN
HIS STAND AGAINST LORDS
This Is the Woman William Watson,
Poet, Accused of Sacrificing
Friends for Ambitions.
LONDON, Fob. 23. A new sensa
tion developed in the political situa
tion which again brings Mrs. Asqulth,
wife of tho premier, into prominence
as wielding a powerful influence in
the affairs of the empire.
It Is alleged that for the prize of
social preferment, Mrs. Asqulth,
whose social and political career baa
been one of the most remarkable t
the age, bas induced her husband to
weaken his stand against the lords.
The king Is being considerably crlt- I
Icized today for having Indirectly ex
erted nn alleged Influence over tho
premier with promises of social hoa
ors to his wife.
It is stated by Asqulth'a crlticlzers
that he has turned from his bold
stand against the lords to a vaccllat-
flng policy which, threatens to result
In nthe early dissolution of the new
parliament.
They assert that Mrs. Asqulth Juu
always had great power over her hus
band and that ha has become "oa
of the most arrant political cowards
that ever held tho high office of the
' premier."
It was of Mrs. Asqulth that William
Watson, the poet, wrote the now fa
mous lines on "The Woman Dith the
Serpent's Tonguo." In that sensation
al poem he charged her with biTtes
sacrificed her friends upon the altar
of hor ambition.
It has been rumored many times
thnt the Influence of Mrs. Asqulth
had much to do with tho advancement
of her suband to bis present office.
Before hor miarrlago she was a
brilliant figure In society and rose
from a rather mediocre position.
Now the critics mako the opon al
legation that through hor Boclal am
bition tho king has played upon the
premier and caused his change of
front.
