Abstract

The Week
April 25, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information related to the politics, military operations and war. Changes in the British Cabinet are due in part to military disappointments and in part to home politics, particularly Irish. The Earl of Derby offered his resignation as War Secretary at the time of the row over General Robertson. It was not accepted then, but now he is sent to Paris to make room for Lord Murray Mimer. The latter has the reputation of possessing a kind of Prussian vigor, all of which he will certainly need in his new position. The chief surprise is the promotion of Austen Chamberlain to be a member of the War Cabinet.
