Minis ter of War and Marine Gutchkoff an nounced his resignation today in a dramatic statement to soldiers' dele gates from the front, asserting that Russia's existence was menaced by dual control plans for the army and navy. : His resignation, he said, was neces sary, "In view of conditions in which the power of the government, and es pecially the authority of the minister Bessessen Seattle. of war and marine, has been placed, i First Lieutenant Clarence B.

M, Gutchkoff was formerly a mem ber of the council of the empire, a president of the third duma and promi nent in the zemstvo movement in Rus sia. He was known as a liberal of great ability. General Korniloff, commander of the Petrograd garrison, resigned that post yesterday for that reason. Gutchkoff's most recent orders to the Russian army Indicated his ex treme liberalism. He decreed, after conference with representatives, that there should be complete equality be tween officers and enlisted men; that enlisted men need not salute their su periors:' that the servile "sir" need not I Hermiston.

This followed a visit to Ger man great headquarters for a confer ence with the kaiser. Other information from Germany, re ceived today via Holland, indicated that the chancellor on Tuesday would make a speech in the reichstag, outlining the general military and political situation, but not covering German's peace alms. Such a statement will be withheld until July, when the reichstag is to be recon. yened, according to German newspa pers. Hindentrarg Opposes Hollweg. That section of the German press which is hostile to Von Bethmann- Hollweg declared today that the chan cellor recently went to the front to present his resignation to the kaiser. The most circumstantial of these stories insisted that Field Marshal von Hlndenburg raised a storm of objection to the reform recommended by the constitution committee, which would grant the reichstag control over the army, and that he and his Junker friends conceived the plan of nullify ing the committee's recommendations by terminating the reichstag sitting, rather than recessing the body until later in.. the summer or fall. Such procedure would mean auto matic death of the constitution com mittee, and make necessary reappoint ment and repetition of Its w9rTr-'whiew would avert another issue between the reichstag and the army for several months. Hollweg refused , to take such a course, insisting German liberals could not be held in check if such a trick were played upon them. He was said to nave announced an ultimatum to the kaiser that he would resign if such a scheme were attempted and to have won out over Hlndenburg. Lewis, U. S. Censorship Criticised. Petrograd, May 14. (U. P.) Ger many's propaganda Is now seeking to distort America's position in the eyes of new Russia- What to an American are some as tonishingly patent falsehoods of the position which the United States has assumed are being given daily puhii cation In Russian newspapers. Today all Petrograd newspapers featured a "report from Paris' that the Wash ington government is "censoring all press reports from Stockholm relat ing to the June Socialists peace meet ing." Cenfiorsbip Is Attacked. Heretofore newspapers have printed similar "reports" including a state ment that the American -government is forbidding all Socialists to leave the United States to attend the Stockholm conference. The animus behind such "reports" is plainly pro-German. Germany is bringing every effort to make the Stockholm pro-German conference of Socialists a success to achieve a formidable movement for a separate peace between Russia and Germany. Maxim Gorky in Una. The propaganda is the more Insidi ous because the "reports" in the guise Jt news in such shape that Russian papers are Impelled to display them prominently. Even Maxim" Gorky, who Is well ac quainted with America, has apparent ly been deceived by such reports. His newspaper today contained an edi torial bitterly criticizing America for "censorship" on news of the Stock holm conference. Second Lieutenant Frank A j Seattle. 1 Captain Henry Laughlin McGillis.

Britain's nation wide clamor for a shake up in the admiralty and greater energy In combating the submarine menace re sulted in announcement of numerous naval changes in the house of commons today by Sir Edward Carson. Carson himself apparently has weathered the storm of criticism and retains his-cabinet place as first lord .of the ad miralty. Foremost in the changes announced is the appointment of Sir John Jellicoe, firt lord, as chief of the naval staff. The new post is in addition to his com mand a3 first sea lord. Sir Henry Oliver was named deputy chief. Purposes Are Announced. "The purpose of the changes," Sir Edward Carson announced to the house, "is to free the naval staff from ad ministrative work and, secondly, to strengthen the shipbuilding depart ment of the admiralty." Sir John Jellicoe was the main figure in the last admiralty shake up by which Admiral Sir Henry Jackson was retired from the post of first sea lord. The cry then was for young blood in the navy. Jellicoe ' became first sea lord and Admiral Sir David Beatty, commander-in-chief of the main battle fleet. Criticism Has Bean Strong. Of recent weeks a storm of criti cism of the admiralty has been brew ing of such size as to lead to the be lief that Sir Edward Carson's retire ment would be forced. The naval ad ministration was attacked first be cause of concealment of exact losses of allied merchantmen in the sub marine warfare; secondly because it was charged the number of merchant men sunk indicated lack of initiative and energy by the navy in running down the undersea craft; thirdly, be cause of lack of any comprehensive shipbuilding plan fathered by official sources. The North cl if fe papers pounded away continually against the admiralty ana In the house of commons there were numerous exceedingly pointed criticisms of the naval administration. Another complaint was against the frequency with which German cruisers and destroyers .nattagd to elude Brit ish patrols and bombard various Brit ish coast cities. - VI V" t PORT DEVELOPMENT WEEK BEGINS WITH A METING AT CHAMBER DURING PRE l ji (Mm :, Sir John Jellicoe.
