The "Times,'" in. a leading article on the resignation'of Prince Louis of Battenbergj expresses-regret,: because liib action was, unquestionably the result of a campaign' of• suggestion, partly honest and partly monstrously unjust.

The paper, adds:' "Whatever, the, causes of his retirement, the Navy to which he, deyoted himself so long will continue to place trust and confidence'in one whom it regards with the greatest, esteem." : .. ■ The. paper points out that Prince Louis has two sons in the British Navy, one a lieutenant on the battle-cruiser Now Zealand.
