Misunderstanding When It was clear

movement of the fleet could be de-

precautionary movement of troops

ment the First Lord flared up. II
repudicatc the Hellish suggestion,
he shouted. when the consequent
.uproad he'd subsidized the speaker rep
rimanted MIR. Churchill saying that
such an expression should not have
been used.
LONDON, March 25.--After a pro:
tracted cabinet council this morn
ing the rumor was started that the
entire ministry had desided to resign
Other reports were current that Col.
Seely. secretary for war. and Wins
ton Churchill, first lord of the ad-
mirality, had handed their resigna-
tionsrto Premier Asquith. No infor-
nation OF either of these reports was
!obtainable. Documents made public
today disclose officially the fact that
the British government gave officers
in Ireland written guarantee that
they would not use the army to crush
the Ulster political opposition to the
lone Rule bill. The correspondent
however points out that the. govern
tment retains its rights to use the
army to maintain law and order. The
orders issued by tile war office in re-
spect to the duties of the army in Ire
LAND chiefly in connection with the
protection Of government stores and
ammunition are given very complete
ly. The correspondent however omits
the verbal communication made by
Gen. Sir Arthur Paget to;the officers
of Tie Curragh camp which led to
their resignation and which the gov
crnment argues was the result of q
misunderstanding" That the ver-
sion of Gen. Paget's communication
read by; Andrew Law, leader Of the
iopposition In the. House Of Commons
on Monday was substantially correct
iseemss to clearly Indicate. Mr.. Law
on that occasion read a letter; in
which Gen. Paget stated that active
operations were to begin against VI
ster and that 1t was expected the
country would be In blaze, by Sat
urday. The Irish commander in chief
writes that he was in close commu-
Inication with the war office and had
received instructions! from headquar-
tiers TO notify his officers that those
OF them domiciled in Ulster would be
ALLOWED to disappear and be after.

ever give their word Of honor not to

NEW WAGON ROAD CERTAIN

That the government will be compelled to build good wagon road along the line of its proposed railroad is certain for without such road the various divisions receive proper supplies Thus is to be expected that the first things that the Engineering Commission will do after the route finally selected will be to begin work such road.
 Presuming that the commission will have selected early ths summer 1t Is safe to predict that before next fall work Will be started on road along the of the railroad This be constructed while the other preliminary work of railroad construction is being carried
