"Certain references," said Lord Fisher, "were made to me in tho speech delivered yesterday .by Mr Churchill. I havo been sixty-one years in the sen-ice of my countrv, and I leave my record in the hands of my countrymen. The prime minister min-ister said that Mr. Churchill had said 1 one or two things he would bettor not l have said, and had necessarily and naturally left unsaid 3ome things which should havo to be said. I am content to wait. It Is not fitting to make personal explanationsaffecting national interest when my country is in tho midst of a great war." Lord Fisher thereupon rose and left the house.
