War Secretary Quits Cabinet After
Crisis in British Army.

London, March 26.-While the House
of Commons was the scene OF great
turmoil, it was made plain that Great
Britain does not intend armed inva-
sion, either with army or navy, to en-
force the home-rule act in Ireland. Sir
Edward Grey, secretary of state for
foreign affairs, denied the government
had planned any action except that
contained in General Paget's %'ritten
instructions. Some of the depots in
north ireland, he said, were wholly de-
fenseless, and there had been an hon
est misunderstanding On the part of
the officers.
There is one certain road to revo-
lution,' the foreign secretary said.
That is for the government to allow
its policy to be dictated or influenced
by the politics of the officers of the
army"
The resignation of Colonel Seely fol-
lowed quickly after the publication of
the White paper giving details of the
crisis in the British army. whose of
ficers refused to participate in active
operations against the inhabitants of
Ulster, who had prepared to offer
armed resistance to the introduction
of home rule.
