NEWS THAT rs FALSE
By AsscoIated Press,

London, Nov. THE secretary of
foreign affairs, Sir Edward Grey, in
the house of commons today read to
the so-called sensational press a
homily on the danger Of spreading
false news offensive to other nations.
Some Of these days." he remarked,
'ff false news continues public senti-
ment will get beyond the control OF
the government concerned"
Incidents which reused Sir Edward
were an interview with the British
ambassador at Vienna and an alleged
passage in the speech Of Home Secre-
tary McKenna, both strongly crticizing
Germany. The foreign minister ex-
pected that neither the ambassador
nor Mr.. McKenna had been guilty OF
alleged indiscretions, but before this
was known in Germany the incidents
had been construed as a direct acront
and called forth a request for explana-
tions from the German government.
