"THE INCOMPARABLE 29th,"

LONDON, April 17. A survivor of the 29th Division writes to 'The Times' as follows:

"Tho great landing at Gallipoli seems r.ow entirely claimed for tho Anzacs. One never reads a paper without seeing praise of Anzacs—and quite right; but what of the British, whose casualties were threefold those of tho Anzacs? The landing would have been impossible except for the 2.3 th East Lancashire Division. A naval division service is being held in memory of tho Anzacs; but surely the King desires to honoT tho heroes of Morto Bay and Y Beach."

A rumor was current on Sunday evening that lie may resign if he disap"proves of the decision of the Cabinet today. In any event, the Cabinet decision may have momentous consequences.
