BRITISH ARMY
IS DEMORAL|ZED
Officers Resign Rather Than
Fight Ulster.
THE KING AS PEACEMAKER.
Crisis confronts the Government
Hampered In the Movement OF
Troops To Ulster BY Lack
OF Commissioned Officers.

London.-The governments military
precautions to preserve order in
Ulster have precipitated a crises with.
out parallel in the history of the Brit
ish army. Rather than be placed in
position where they might be called
upon to act against the Ulster Coven-
anters, numbers of officers have re-
signed their commissions.
While the War Office refuses to say
how many have resigned, popular be-
lief, based on reports from the differ
ent regiments, is that the number of
Withdrawals has crippled the whole
military organization in Ireland and
prevented carrying out the orders for
moving several large bodies of troops.
Public curiosity is at fever heat
over the question of how the govern
ment is to deal with the designations.
The Liberal sentiment is that the
seeding officers should be court.mar-
tailed. Many Conservatives argue that
the situation amounts to civil war and
that the officers should have liberty
to choose which faction they should
ally themselves with.
Summons To Roberts.
The entrance of King George on the
scene as peacemaker was the dramatic
event of the day. He had long confer
ences with the Prime Minister, Mr..
Asquith, the Secretary of State for
War Colonel Seely, and several high
officers and afterward summoned Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, who has been
much criticized by the Liberals for
utterances which they construed as
encouragement to the officers to refuse
to obey orders.
From the palace the veteran field
marshal drove directly to the War
Office, where he had long talk with
the secretary for war
In the meantime the movement of
troops continued in Ireland. The GEN.
ter of interest shifted to Curragh, 25
miles from Dublin, where the Third
Cavalry Brigade, under General Cough,
and the Fourteenth Infantry Brigade,
under Colonel Rolf, are stationed.
Gen. Sir Arthur Paget, commanding
the forces in Ireland, spent the day in
camp. He held a conference with so
officers of the Curragh, Dublin, Kildare
and Newbridge garrisons. 1t was said
that orders had arrived for the dis
patch of the Third Brigade to Ulster,
but that these could not be carried
into execution because practically all
the officers had resigned. Orders for
the dispatch of the Sixteenth Lancers
also failed of execution by reason of
the same wholesale retirements of
officers.

According to some reports, the mill
tary men have unanimously refused in
formation, but Dublin dispatch says
that the designations from the Curragh
forces number forty. Other advices
place the number at 100.
The government is embarrassed by
the disaffection, which even exists
among the officers who continue on
duty, for the army is Differed from

majority of the aristocratic class SYM
