HEAD OF BRITISH ARMY QUITS POST Sir John French Tenders His Resignation. IS ANGRY AT GOVERNMENT Resents Action of Premier Asquith in Repudiating the Guarantees Given Officers in Ireland—Example May Be Followed by Others, London, March 27.—Premier As. quith was brought face to face with a new crisis. by the resignation of Field Marshal Sir John French, chief of the imperial staff and virtual head of the British army. Other leading officers of the army were 4lso expected to hand in their papers as a direct outcome of the repudiation of the guarantees given to army officers in Ireland. The premier had declared that these guarantees were not sanctioned by the cabinet. Colonel Seely, secre- tary for war, subsequently resigned from the cabinet, but the premier re- fused to accept his action. The result of a meeting at the war office of the principal commanding generals was awaited with anxiety by the general public and in political cir- cles, as it was thought they might take some steps which would virtually disrupt the army administration. In the north of Ireland, where the controversy between Nationalists and Unionists has been the cause of so much difficulty to the British govern- ment, there was no disturbance. The two parties were seemingly content ‘to await events in London. More Trouble Coming. Although it was generally conceded that Premier Asquith had regained the upper hand in parliament the gov- .ernment has to deal with the army officers in Ireland under the new con- ‘ditions established by the premier’s speech in the house of commons ‘Wednesday. The premier’s speech won back the support not only of the Liberals, but of the Irish and Labor n.embers of parliament by the stand he took in repudiating the guarantee given to the mutinous army officers in Ireland that they might decide whethsr or not they would serve against vhe Ulster Unionists. It is now asserted that as soon as the government formally withdraws the guarantees given by Colonel See- 1y, secretary for war, and Field Mar- shal Sir John French the officers will again resign their commissions and, as one of them said, “this time in earnest.” Many Liberals think Premier As- {quith should have accepted the resig- nation of Colonel Seely, for he always has been suspected of really being more Unionist than Liberal in his sympathies.

TWO SELECT COMMITTEES Underwood and Mann, Majority and Minority Leaders, Credited With Having the Most Powerful'. Posi- tions in Lower Branch of Congress. ‘Washington, March 27.—The Na- tional Voters' league, in a statement just made public, denounced the bi- partisan arrangement-by which Oscar ‘W. Underwood, Demo¢rat, and James R. Mann, Republican, virtually pick the committees of the house. Charging that there is in reality no difference between the system in vogue during the days of Aldrich and Cannon and now, the league appeals to the electorate of the country to break up the system. One of the salient features of the appeal is a map showing that prac- tically all of the great committee chairmanships are concentrated in the Solid South; Florida, with three con- gressional districts, containing the two greatest “porkbarrel” chairman- ships, those of the committee on riv- ers and harbors and the committee on public buildings. ) “In the house today,” the bulletin says, “the bipartisan organization is effected through a combination of Al- drich and Cannon methods. The Democratic members of committees, including the fifty-eight chairman- ships, are given their places a la Al- drich by Democratic members of the ways and means committee, of which Oscar W. Underwood is chairman. As the leader of his side of the house Underwood does as Aldrich formerly did in the senate. “The Republican members are ap- portioned by one man, as they were during the Cannon days. The Repub- lican leader is James R. Mann. “These two, Oscar W. Underwood, Democrat, and James R. Mann, Re- publican, are the all powerful figures in the house.” FALLING WALL FATAL TO TWO Firemen Meet Death in Blaze at Sioux City, la.

It is a coarse grass growing as high as six feet. \ The scientists propose the name banana water lily for a water plant which has a root which resembles a bunch of bananas. At present this plant grows only in the gulf states, but the scientists believe it can be propagated almost anywhere in the United States.
