of their refusal to serve In Ulster,
and that a complete understanding
had been established between the

instructions OF the war office had
been misinterpreted but later made
clear, Gen. Cough, commanding the
Sixteenth I.ancers and Fourth Hus-
sars, stationed at the Curragh. with.
drew his resignation. Similar action
was taken by other officers stationed
in Ireland and all will resume their
commands tomorrow.
Following statement by War Sec"
retary Seely in the house OF COM
mons. admitting that many officers
had resigned. Premier AsqWth went
into great detail to set at rest the
reports of wholesale disaffection and
explained the exact situation.
Absolute denial was made by As

OF troops in ireland was for any pur'
pose other than to insure adequate
protection for government stores In
