QUITS PfIST3F PRIVY COUNCILOR London, May IS. —Sir Edgar Spev cr, who yesterday resigned as privy councilor, also has resigned the chair manship of the London Underground Electric Railways Company, which con trols most of the citv'n subways and omnibus lines and has retired from the boards of directors of various hospitals and art galleries. The letter of Sir Ed gar to Premier Asquith says: "Nothing.is harder to bear than the sense of injustice that finds no vent in expression. For the list nine months J have kept silent and treated with disdain charges of disloyalty and sug gestions of treachery made against me in the press anil elsewhere. Put T can keep the silence no longer for these charges and suggestions now have been repeated by public men who have not used their positions to inflame the overstrained feelings of the people. "I am not a man who can be driven or drummed by threats or anise into an attitude of justification. But I con sider it duo to niv honor as a loyal British subject and to my personal dig nity as a man to retire from all public positions. I, therefore, ask you to :ic eept my resignation as privy councilor and to revoke my baronetcy. 1 am sending this letter to the press." 7 BLOODY BATTLES FBUGHT ON WESTERN FRONT IN WEEK London, May IS. —"Seven separate ami distinct battles were fought in the week just closed and there can be lit tle doubt that the days from Saturday, the Bth, until Friday, the 14th, will rank among the most bloody in the history of western Europe." nays the Pas Do Calais correspondent of the ' 'Times." He adds: "Saturday night saw no lessening in the intensity of the struggle. On the Ypres front, although outnumbered and in danger of being outflanked, our I men again and again hurled back Ger man attacks. During the darkness the Germans, as though aware that with every passim* hour their opportunity was slipping away, continued to hurl themselves against our lines. Men who lived through this night shot until they could no longer hold their rifles. The fury of the assault was indescrib able. Dawn of Sunday showed in the fields in front of Ypres the dead piled like corn stalks lat harvest time. Brit ish and Germans lying side by side." DISRUPTION 7NNAVY OF BRITAIN IS THREATENED .London. May IX, 12.50 P. M. —There have been no new developments so fur to-day in the threatened 'break between Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, and Lord Fisher, ad miral of the fleet and first sea lord. It is understood, however, that the mat ter will be the subject of a statement in the IFTouse of Commons to-day. The "Daily Telegraph" this morn ing says the resignation of Lord Fisher is thought to be probable. The "Times" is among the 'London newspapers this morning which men tions the fact that Lord Fisher has not attended the admiralty for the last two days, and the rumors arising from this of friction between him and Mr. Churchill. Editorially the "Times" refers to these reports as confirming the popular impression that the government, like the nation, has reached the restless tran sitional stage. "The government pre sumably is anxious about the character •of its control of the war," the "Times" says, "which is being sub jected to widespread and searching criticism both in public and private. At present the storm center seems to be the Admiralty, but beyond the above mentioned facts all is rumor and Wk trust and believe unfounded rumor."
