I lunched with Mr.Asquith.One does not usually bring away much from his conversations, and he did not say much to-day worth recording.

But he showed a very eager interest in the Presidential campaign, and he confessed that he felt some anxiety about the anti-British feeling in the United States.

This led him to tell me that he could not in good conscience interfere with Casement's execution, in spite of the shoals of telegrams that he was receiving from the United States.

This man, said he, visited Irish prisoners in German camps and tried to seduce them to take up arms against Great Britain--their own country.

When they refused, the Germans removed them to the worst places in their Empire and, as a result, some of them died.
