United Press Association —Copyright
(Received November 1, 10.25 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 1.
Mr. Asquith sharply rebukes -Lord Charles Beresforcl for publishing the correspondence protesting against the treatment of officers who gave evidence at the naval inquiry,- without giving him an opportunity to reply. Mr. Asquith concludes by expressing “profound regret, -that an officer of your experience and distinction should lie responsible- for such a letter. It is difficult to reconcile your action with the traditions of the service.”
Mr. Asquith encloses Mr. R. McKenna’s detailed reply, showing the promotions granted on Lord Charles Beresford’s staff, which Mr. McKennabelieves are unprecedented from a single ship. ‘ Lord Charles Beresford, in replying, repeats that a system of espionage, favoritism, and intimidation exists at the Admiralty, which is ruining tho splendid morale of the navy.
