 of India HAD SERIOUS MEASUREMENTS Bitter Feeling Had Arisen Between Lord curzon and Lird kltch- ener Over Army Adminis-
 tratIon in India.
HAD SERIOUS D|SAGREEMENTS

London August August 2o.-The resigna- ton of Lord Curzon of Kedleston as vice. roy of India and the appointment of the Earl of Minto as his successor. was an- nonnced at the India office tonight.
 According to the correspondence which is issued in the form of white book, it appears that Lord, Curzon's resignation was cabled to that office on August IF. The correspondence shows decided ylbit- ter feeling between Lord curzon, the chief of the India office and Lord kitch- ener, eommander-in-chief of the forces in India, over the new plan of army ad- ministration in India. Lord Curzons dis satisfaction came to head with the refusal of the cabinet to appoint Maj. Gen. Sir Edmund Barrow on Lord Cur zons recommendation military supply member of the council.
 Replying on August 12 to the refusal of MT Brodrick, secretary of state for India, to make this appointment. Lord curzon requests the government to reconsider It's decision "in order to enable me to ac- cept the responsibility which l Infer his matesty's government still desires me to assume"
 Refuses to Comply With Request.
 Mir. Brodrck again refused to comply with the request for the appointment of Major General Barrow, and Lord Curzon replied as follows:
 Tt is apparent that his majesty's gov- ernment denies me that confidence which alone can enable me to serve them, and attach Fundamentally different interpre- tation from myself to the notifications, upon the acceptance of which alone 1 consented to remain in office. The situ- ation, therefore, remains where 1t was when l resigned in June. If the govertir mant Is unable to accept my views, l re- quest the premier to place my resigna- ton In the hands of his majesty"
 To this Brodrlck replied that there was a request from MT Balfour that Lord Curzon reconsider his determination. In a final dispatch, however, dated August F. Lord Curzon says:
 ''The main question is not the choice of individual but one of the principles under lying a future change In our administra- tion. I am reluctantly driven to the conclusion that the policy of his majesty's government is based on principles that could not conscientiously carry into exe-
  ganzatlon 1t Is desirable that l should be relieved from my duties with as little delay as possible"
 To this MT. Balfour replied 1t was with the most profound regret he submitted Lord Curzon's resignation to the king
 Unable to Agree.
 Supplementary dispatches, after the re- ceipt of the resignation, show firstly, that Lord Curzon and Lord Kitchener were unable to agree over the details of the military reorganization and secondly, that Lord Curzon at the time he left England expressed his entire disagree ment with the plan.
 Put he says. "I Loyalty commenced the undertaking and only resigned when l realized that conflicts were certain to arise between the eommander-in-c chief and the rest of the government of India"
 His concluding sentence reads:
 T reflect with sorrow how little justifi- cation there has been for the claim you make of having rendered me your con- stant support"
