BACKDOWN IS COMPLETE Wholesale Resignations of Army Officials Checked by Announcement of Government's Attitude. UNITED PRRSS LEASED London, March 23. By shifting the blame for its seemingly warlike attitude in Ulster from its own shoulders upon those of Sir Arthur Pagot, Brit-lish military commander-in-chief, the London government succeeded today in checking, temporarily, at least, the wholesale resignation of army officers which the home rule situation precipitated.

Pagot, it was explained, meant well, but he had misunderstood his orders. The government had thought, to be sure, that the troops might be needed to aid the civil authorities in keeping order, but it had never contemplated a military occupation 6f Ulster. Sir Arthur seemed to have had the contrary impression, and in his talks with the officers under him, had given them a wrong impression of the duty they might be required to perform. The movement of troops in Ireland, said Premier Asquith himself, was with a view of protecting government arm, and ammunition nothing more. Paget Made Scapegoat There was a widespread belief that those explanations were in tho nature of a backdown, and that Gonoral Paget was being made the government's scapegoat.

The conservatives even pro-fsscd to have documentary ovidonce that ho was acting only under explicit ordors from tho war office Nevertheless the resignation, ceased amy many officers who had already surrendered' their commissions accopted them back again, and resumed their duties. It did not appear likely, however, that the lull would last long. The mo ment an attempt wn, mado to push the homo rulo bill agniu it soomed certain that Ulster would rise and tho how the govornnicnt could avoid resorting to military force in such a case nobody could see. On tho other hand, trouble with tho Irish was beliovcd inevitable, unless tho home rulo bill was pushed with all speed. The opinion was widespread that the Asquith cabinet's fall wns ueur.
