Chief OF THE ENGLISH
navy HAS QUIT POST
Sir Edward Carson Relin-
pushes Admiralty Task
CHANGES IN THE CABINET
Winston S. Churchill Becomes
The Minister of the
Munitions

London, July 1S.-Sir Edward Car.
son has relinquished his post as first
lord of the admiralty and has joined
the war cabinet without portfolio, ac-
cording to an official announcement of
new ministerial appointments issued.
Sir Edward will be succeeded by
Sir Eric Campbell Geddes, who has
been director general Of munitions
supply.
Winston Spencer Churchill, former
first lord of the admiralty, succeeds
DR.. Christopher Addison as minister
of munitions, Dr. Addison becoming a
minister without portfolio, in charge
Of reconstruction.
Edwin Samuel Montagu, a former
cabinet minister, is made secretary
for India.
One of the most acceptable appoint
ments, as far as the general public is
concerned, is that Mr.. Montagu. He
is one of the very few members of the
Asquith administration, in which he
was minister of munitions, to join the
Lloyd George ministry.
Appointments Cause Surprise.
The new cabinet appointments,
arising from the resignation of Mr..
Chamberlain as secretary for India
and Andrew Bonar Laws desire to be
relieved of his duties as member Of
the small war cabinet, which he found
incompatible with his heavy RESPONSE
bilities, first as chancellor of the ex-
chequer and second as leader of the
house of commons, contained two COM
plete surprises--the appointment of
Sir Eric Geddes as head of the adj
miralty and Winston Spencer Chur-
chill as minister of munitions.
Much controversy has revolved for
a long time past over the name of Mr..
Churchill. It was said some time ago
that he would succeed Lord Cowdray
as chairman of the air board. but the
idea met with such strong opposition
in influential quarters that the prof.
ect had to be dropped
The appointment of Sir Eric Geddes
as first lord of the admiralty is anoth-
er break with the tradition that the
ministers should be members of one
Of the Legislative houses. The new
first lord is a railway man, not poll
tician.
The appointment of Sir Edward Car.
son to replace Mr.. Bonar Law as, the
fifth member of the war cabinet is
likely to create more uneasiness and
stronger criticism among the older
Liberals than any other appointment.
