MR. CHURCHILL'S RESIGNATION.

LORD FISHER'S STRIKING REPLY.

November 16, 5.45 p.m. In the House of Lords, Lord Fisher made a brief and striking answer to Mr. Oburohill's speech in the House of Commons. He spoke for one minute, and emphasised the fact that he had boon 31 years in the service of the country.

He said:" leave my renard in the hands of my countrymen. I am content to wait. It is unfitting to make personal explanation: affecting national interests when the omatry is in the midst of a great war."

Lord Fisher then rose and walked out.

Russian troops were advancing on Teherzu in order to give proteo-to tion to the Allied Logations. Certain proposals had been received from the Persian Gorgramer, and these were engaging the attention of the British and Beistan Gorornments. Qar one desire was to maintain me friendly relations with Parsia, provided the latter made a real attempt to prevent attacks on Allied offtoisla.
