 LONDON. Feb. 16.-General Sir Vii liam Robertson, chief of the British imperial staff. has resigned. it was of- f;cially announced tonight. General Wilson. sub-chief of staff. takes the vacated place.
 The official announcement of the change says:
 The extension of the functions of the permanent military representa- tive decided on by the supreme war council at their last meeting at Yer sailles has necessitated the limitation of the special powers hitherto exercis- cd by the chief of the imperial general staff by virtue of the order in council oi January 27. 1916.
 Tn these circumstances the govern ment thought it right to offer General Sir William Robertson the choice of becoming the military representative on the supreme war council at Yer sailles. or continuing as chief of the imperial general staff under new con ditions.
 Order to be Explained
