The resignation of Sir Edward Car

open manifestation of the diversion Of
views known to exist among the min
listers and is the result, according to
an authoritative statement, not to the
controversy over conscription, but to
the condition of the affairs in the near
East
Sir Edward so far has made no per-
sonal explanation of his reasons for
resigning, but it is understood he dis
