An event which may prove to be of significance in

Ireland is the resignation of General Crozier, who commanded the Auxiliary Cadets. We cannot go into the whole tangled story of the dispute between General Crozier and General Tudor, the Chief of the Police, after General Crozier had dismissed several cadets under his command for looting and had remanded five of the ring-leaders for trial. As General Tudor had come to England, and there was a consequent delay in the communications between him and General Crozier, there was evidently room for misunderstanding. It may also be argued that the men who were dismissed before they had been tried had a legitimate grievance.
