Weeks ago the wild rumor spread
that the Prince he'd been confined in the
Tower, under suspicion. At that very
time he was working night and day
in the Admiralty attending important
conferences. 1t was ridiculous story
and got no credit among people Of

All the newspapers pay tribute 10 the
undoubted loyalty and unquestloned
ability of the Prince and to his great
services to the British navy.
The Morning Post holds that the res
! ignation was desirable in the circum-
stances. The Telegraph deprecates the
rumors and the gossip idle or mischie-
vous, or both. but considers that the
resignation was the right step.
The Ddilp NerS and Leader regrets
the resignation as a sacrifice to a silly
and cowardly campaign, creditable to
neither the press nor the public life.
The Daily Express takes a similar view
and says that the unnatural breathing
OF mean suspicion compelled man Of
honor to resign.
The Globe, which pays special atten-
ton to naval affairs, has emphasized
