this correspondence is almost superfiuous.
There is nothing so creditable to Sir Red
vers Butler as his refual TO rewrite dis
patch for publication"
The Daily News says: "The man in the
street considering what he has been al
lowed to see, will be apt to form rather
lurid ideas of what has been withheld from
his gaze"
The Daily Graphic severely attacks Lord
Lansdowne for trying to shift the re-
sponsibility."
The Standard mildly approves the gov
ernment's action in publishing the explana-
ton, but the general opinion Is that the
correspondence should not have been pub
lished until in full, and the partial pubica-
ton is, on the whole, rather badly re-
ceived.
