ottawa. a.-General Sir Sam Hughes
has resigned as Canadian minister Of
militia and defense. His resignation
was requested. The break between
General Hughes and Premier Borden
and other members of the Canadian
government resulted from differences
over questions of policy and details
Of administration. Since the begin
ming of the war there have been many
such differences on questions of mill
tary management, out until recently,
1t is said, they have been adjusted
generally by allowing Genoraf
Hughes to carry out his plans. Lately
the friction has increased and ad-
justmcnts have grown more difficult.
II is understood there has been a
growing disposition on the part of the
premier and the cabinet to insist upon
their own plans as against those of
General Hughes. Some time ago Gen
cral Hughes returned from three
months visit to England with a plan
to have a Canadian war council or
ganized in England. with a deputy
minister of militia at its head. The
Canadian government, however. held
that with more than two hundred
thousand Canadian troops in IN,
trenches in France or in training in
England there should be an over
seas minister Of militia. General
/. Hughes opposed this, as it would
greatly deprive him of authority.
When the government insisted upon
its plan, il is reported. General hughes
suggested that Sir Max Aitken should
be appointed TO the new post. Premier
Borden, however, appointed Sh
George Perley. although tbere Is said
TO have been lack of harmony between
him and General Hughes. This took
from General Hughes control Of n
large part of the Canadian forces.
