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."
