CARSON QUITS ON ACCOUNT or
DIFFERENCES ON IRISH
QUESTION.
He ADVOCATED CONSUMPTION
Supported Government When War
Broke Out, But Was Unable to
Bring About a Change Of
Heart in Ministry.

London. Sir Edward Carson, min
lister without portfolio in the war cab
met, has resigned,
The prime minister has advised the
king to accept Sir Edwards resigna-
tion..
The correspondence published shows
that Sir Edwards resignation was on
account of the Irish question and had
nothing to do with the conduct Of the
war
The resignation Of Sir Edward Car
son takes out of the cabinet one Of
the most uncompromising British
statesmen on the question of home
rule for Ireland.
For years Sir Edward has opposed
the setting up Of an Irish parliament,
and prior to the. outbreak of the pres
ent war; when the Irish question was
at its height, he even went to the ex-
tent of organizing and training the
Ulster volunteers for civil war against
the British government if home rule
for Ireland, which would embrace the
county of Ulster, was inaugurated.
Less than a month before Great
Britain entered the war Sir Edward
presided over the provisional gov
eminent of Ireland at Belfast, and in
a speech declared the time had come
for the loyalists of Ulster to translate
their words into action. Ulster, he
said, was anxious for peace, but was
not going to accept peace with sur
render.
Cult Asquith's Cabinet.
Then came the world war, and Sir
Edward almost Immediately an
nounced that the Ulster volunteers
were ready for service under the flag
Of Great Britain against the enemy.
Many of the Obstetrics were among
the first of Great Britain's forces to
cross the channel and gave battle to
the Germans.
In May, 1915, Sir Edward was ap-
pointed encouragement in the newly
formed AsQuith cabinet, but resigned
that post in October Of the same year.
In an address to the house of COM
mons Sir Edward asserted that the
reason for his resignation was the fact
that the Asquith government was in.
capable Of carrying on the war.
In December, 1916, Sir Edward was
made first lord of the admiralty IL
the cabinet of David Lloyd George.

Hun Vandalism Shown in
Cambraii's Smoking Ruins

WITH THE CANADIAN FORCES IN
FRANCE. Wednesday. Oct. 12.-(By
the Canadian ress)--Cambrai is Il
smoking ruin. The Germans have
probably never perpetrated a more
ruthless nor more premeditated vandai-
France can never forgive nor forget
this" remarked a French officer. Torch
IN hand, the enemy comes Offering US
peace
When the Canadians entered Cambria,
the great public square of the Place uu
Armes was virtually intact. Now 1T IS
n mass of ruins. The explosions began
at . o'clock and have continued ever
since. All day, in every part OF the
town there We're explosions of incend-
larry bombs with time fuses attached
and these were followed by Outbursts
of fire. In one street, dozen houses
simultaneously burst into flames.
The town hall. the bishops palace
and other buildings were blown 70
pieces. The cathedral still stands but
only with it's ruined chancel.
As the hours went by the universal
character of the holocaust developed.
The sun was obscured partly and it
seemed like fiery ball in the smoke
and thick dust of falling walls.
The Canadian engineers sought TO
pen in the ConflagTation, by dynamlt-
ing the buildings, but the flames broke
out at the backs of the soldiers.
There remains in the city, Father
ThieZ, a priest of the church of ST;
Druon. Two days ago he was ordered
by the Germans to leave the city. He
refused because he had to attend to a
diving woman. The Germans threat
ened TO shoot him, but he preserved and
today he is caring for civilians who
had hidden for ten days in the cellars.

ARMISTICE WOULD
BE MAJOR SUCCESS
FOR HINDENBURG

/ NEW YORK, oct. 14.--An armistice
permitting Won Hindenburg to retire
unmolested to the German frontier
would give the kaiser one of the ma
jor successes of the war.
The heroic struggle of the American
forces north of Nerdun is threatening
| to cut one of the two avenues of re-
treat for the German armies in France

occupation Of her soil by the German
troops. shows complete understand
ing in the little duchy of Americas

knows the Americans are closing in on
the famous Stenay line of communica-
tions so necessary for Hindenburg,s
safe retirement to Germany.
Pershing Blocking Way
While General PerShing is blocking
the way 20 the German frontier to the
peals to President Wilson TO let Won
Hindenburg'S defeated armies pass
through Pershing'S line unscathed. Inc
only alternative for Won Hindenburg is
too large and too unwieldly TO try to
make a run for it. They would be
overwhelmed and thrown into devas-
tating confusion.
III
the Americans threw the Germans
across the Marine and started them on
their disastrous retirement Since then,
Won Hindenburg has gone less than
half the way home and has lost at
least half million men. He may lose
half million more if he must continue
the fight to his own border. 1t is pos
sible even that a great disaster involv-
ing a quarter of a million more cas-
ualtieS might overtake him.
Besides the losses of human material,
Won Hindenburg cannot get home with
out abandoning vast stores of munitions
and guns to the allies, unless he is CIV
en- a free passage.
Hirdenburg's Plans Smashed
Won Hindenburg is being forced to
abandon his intention of forming new
Rhine reserve army to oppose the Amer
lean invasion OF Germany. His plan 20
accomplish this by shortening his line
and saving 5000 men per mile has been
destroyed by the ceaseless attacks OF
Marshal Foch during the past three
months. If Won Hindenburg is given
an armistice. he will have less men per
mile when he gets back to Germany
than he had when his retreat began. The
only way the Rhine reserve army TO
oppose the Americans can be created is
by means of an armistic permitting
Won Hindenburg to withdraw from
France and Belgium, taking his men and
once inside his own territory, Won
Hindenburg would Immediately organ
iZe his Rhine reserves. The kaiser
could then prOlong the war at least an
other year, hoping in the meantime for
a favorable peace.
An armistice is Germanys last weap-
on against America. Terrorism has
failed, submarine piracy has failed and
Won Hindenburg has failed in a standup
fight against General PerShing.
Only the note waved at President
Wilson remains to be Knocked down
After that will! come unconditional sur
render.
