BRITAIN DISTURBED
And More Than a Little Displeascd By
Robertson's Retirement.

London. Feb. l9.-The idea that tho
public is attempting to dictate to the
government what the military policy
shall be or who shall be employed ia
carry it out is deprecated by the Daily
Chronicle in an editorial on the an.
nouncement that General Robertson has
been retired as chief of the imperial staff
The task is one for the responsible
ministers" it says, "and while it is open
to Parliament to change the ministers,
no circumstances have been disclosed in
the present instance which warrant such
an upheayal."
The Times, remarking that the pre-
mier's recent speech in the House of
Commons failed to carry complete con
yiction, SAYS the result has been storm
OF cXaggeration and political intrigue
over what seems to have been q most
natural and commonsense arrangement.
1t declares that full explanation of
events obviously is overdue.
"The government seems to have done
its best to mishandle an overwhelming
case it adds. whatever may have
alternate bursts OF confidence and reti-
cence have given the impression OF sheer
indecision. 1t is almost as surprising as
it is satisfactory. that the allies military
organization has emerged with its prin.
ciples unimpaired.'
News of General Robertson's removal,
the Morning Post says, will be received
with CONSERVATION by the public and the
army. 1t eulogizes General Robertson,
not only as the greatest British soldier
of his day, but as the highest military
genius the war thus far has produced.
Declaring that it is evident that Gen.
era Robertson has been dismissed and
that those who dismissed him find it in.
to confess the truth, The Post
says that Parliament will insist on
why the distinguished soldier is
treated so scurvily. II continues;
IF the summary dismissal of General
Robertson were not enough TO shatter
our confidence in Premier Lloyd George
md the government the circumstances
IF the dismissal would do it. The need
IF the hour is premier who. while
lnowing where to forbear interference
With what he does not understand, will
lnow how also to throw his whole weight
INTO the prosecution of the war"
James w Lowther, the speaker of the |
House of Commons, and Gen. Jan. c. |
SHUTS are mentioned by The Post as the |
ype of men fitted to head the govern
nent.

NORU 4Y STIRLING
TO AGREE WITH Z. S.
For the Resumption of the Import of
Supplies-The Gravity of the Sit
uation Is Revealed to
Norway

! Chrlstlania, Norway, Feb. l9-(Corres
pondence of Associated Press How to
come to an agreement with America for
the resumption OF the import of supplies
is the main topic for discussion by the
Norwegian press and people. In the be.
ginning the government did not seem
to take the American question serious
~. But after the failure of the commits
sion IN Washington TO obtain export
licenses, the cabinet members realized
the gravity of the situation. One by one
the members of the Norwegian delegs
ton TO Washington returned until only
Dr. Nansen remained.
The newspapers, except the official
cabinet organ, are becoming inpatient
They ask why Denmark has obtained
export licenses for different foodstuffs
and say Sweden has had greater success
than Norway. So far Germany has had
great advantages from the trade agree
ments with Norway.
By the agreement with Great Britain
of August. 1916, Norway could send fl
teen per cent of her fish to Germany.
But beside this Germany bought enor-
nous quantities of canned fish, so that.
it is said, the total export amounted to
more than thirty per cent. II was as
serted at a session of the Storthing that
the total export of fish to Germany
from August, 1914, To August, 1917.
was 10000 tons. Before the war the
average export TO Germany was $1,000
tons, OF about % per cent OF the whole
export of fish from the country. On the
other hand the Germans have not been
able to keep their contract TO furnish
fishing tackle and motor oil - compen
sation for the fish.
One leading paper asks how Norway
is to continue supplying favoss to Ger

ARMOUR ON,
THESTAND
Testiiies Before the Packing
House Wage Arbitrator
in Chicago
QUESTIONED BY COUN-
Sci FOR EMPLOYEES
Eight-Hour Day Does Not
Impress Him F'a-
vorably


Chicago, Feb. III. Ogden Armour
president of the Armour & Co.. toob
the witness stand here yesterday in th,
packing house investigation for Judge
Alschuicr.
Mr.. Armour was questioned by Frank
p Walsh, attorney for the employees
who arc seeking higher wages. MIR
Walsh asked ii it was true that if the
wages of all Armour workmen were
doubled IL would increase the price OF
meat only 65-lo0 of cent pound.
Il could not tell that without some
figuring was the reply. If equal pay
for men and women doing the same
class and volume of work is not now
given, Mr. Armour thought it should be.
He said he did not visit the homes of his
workers, but that his company had a
welfare board He said of course he was
willing to have a decent living wage
fixed for Armour employees. He did not
think l0-hour working day in itself
would undermine health.
