The official announcement says: "The extension of-the functions of

the permanent military representa- tive decided on by the Supreme War Council at their last meeting ut Var.- sailles has necessitated the ` limits, lion 'of the special powers hitherto exei'ciee'd1r'"tlie_Chief of the' imperial General -Sign’ 'by virtue of the Order- in-Council of January Z7, 1916. “In these clrcumstaiices the Go-

vernment thought it right. to offer Sir Wlilllsm Robertson the choice of becoming the British military repre- sentative ou the Supreme War Coun- cil at Versailles, or continuing as Chief of the -imperial General Staff under new conditions. "General Sir William Robertson. for

reasons whlcll_ will -bo explained in a statement wh ch will be made by the Prime Minister in the House of Coln~ mons as e_erly ns possible in the co- ming week. did not see his way to accept either position. and the Go- vernment have. with much regret. accepted his resignation.

"General Sir Henry Wilson has ac-

cepted the position of Chief of the imperial General 'Staff. The ap, Dolntment of the British permanent represeiitative at Versailles will be announced in a few days."

HE HAS NOT RESIGNED.

The weekly newspaper. the Na,-`

tional News, says it has been inform- ed by General \8_ir William Robertson, whose resignation as Chief of the British Imperial ‘Staff was officially announced last night, that he has not resigned. _

General _R bertson. interviewed by

ii representative- of the 'Sunday Times at his, residence at 8 o‘clock last night- said:

"I have not resigned. The only

statement l have to makc is that lt is quite true that l will not accept cither position," referring to the posts of Chief of. the ‘Imperial Gene- ral 'Staff and British representative on the Supreme War Council of _Ver-

sailles.

The political correspondent of the

Sunday Times says: “General Ro- bertson conllders he has been dis- missed. I hear that before the suc- °‘1iiSl0il (on 'the imperial General Staff) was given to General ‘Sir Hen- i‘Y Wllson.`-it was offered to and do cllned by General`_Slr Herbert Illu mer (Commander ofthe British for ces in ltaly),.ir.ud, it is anticipated that- othcr mettibers ofthe military lllerachy will follow General Robert-

son into retirement. _

ed confidence on He-ig because tha? believe that the army trusts his le _- or-ship and because this trust ievifpl to the sriny's morale. Of the Work
