SIR EDWARD CARSON.

A RUMiOUR DENIED. (Reed. 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, October 21.. In the House of Lords, the Marquis of Lansdowne, replying to a question, said that it had been suggested that I Sir Edward CaTson's resignation might \ be connected with Home Rule. They knew Sir Edward Carson sufiiciently to be confident that at the present time he would not allow himself to be deflected by old political views. STATEMENT OF HIS ATTITCOE. (Reed. 2.55 p.m.j LONDON, October 21. Sir Edward Carson said that we were already committed to oper-iryoas in Gallipoli apart from the new operation. , In his opinion the situation necess s---1 tated a clearly defined, well-thought-out and decisive policy, and Ending himself unable to agree in any respect with the Government's policy he felt that his presence was no longer useful. This did not suggest that his views were comparable. with those of greater experience and wisdom, but he held them strongly, conscientiously and patriotically. (Cheers).
