I have here in my hand a letter in his own writing addressed to me from the Headquarters of the British Army in France, and dated-Observe the date-May 20, 1915. I say "Ob- serve the date,'' because the Coalition Ministry, for which Lord French now claims a sort of paternal responsi- biIity, was formed exactly three days earlier, on May II. It is a private letter to which I should certainly not have referred had not Lord French
 who himself makes the freest use of secret and confidential documents
 compelled me by his last article to do so. What I am about to read is only an extract, but I can assure you and the world that there Is no qualifying context. As far as I am concerned

 Lord F'rench's ridiculous suggestion that his action in this matter had something to do with his subsequent removal from the command is hardly worthy of serious notice. He remain ed in full command for more than six months, and though I heard strange rumors, which appear to have had more foundation in fact that I then believed, I never took the pains to Inquire what part he had played, or whether he had played any part, in the newspaper campaign which he now claims to have inspired. When his retirement came, and take myself the full and sole responsi- bility for it, it was for reasons that had no more to do with the supply of shells than with the next eclipse of the moon.
