Resignation of Lord Curzon Ends Indian Friction With Kitchener
London Aug 25 Special The long bitter quarrel between the viceroy and Lord Kitchener ends with the resignation of Lord Curzon. The king received Curzon's telegram and the announcement spread in England. The dispute centered on the administrative clash between the viceroy and the commander in chief over Indian army control and expenditure. Kitchener, appointed in 1899, pushed reforms and clashed with the military council, notably over ammunition allowances before the resignation was made public.
