THE KNYVETT CRUSADE.
EXPLANATION BY THE PREMIER. £60 FOR EXPENSES. (Dy Tetegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. Sir Joseph Ward, interviewed, said his remark in connection with the Knyvett crusaders was an interjection in reply to Mr. Massey's statement that these men went touring at their own expense. "What I said," added Sir Joseph, "was that one man received £60 for his expenses, and that I know to be a fact." Hi answer to a telegram sent to the Prime Minister by Mr. Armstrong (secretary of the Citizens' League), denying that £60, or any remuneration, had been made to any member of the deputation which proceeded South in connection with Captain Knyvett's case, Sir Joseph Ward to-day replied as follows: "In reply to your telegram, I am not responsible for what appears in .the Press. I made no such statement as that referred to by you." Messrs. J. S. Dickson raid R. Armstrong, chairman and secretary of the Knyvett Defence Committee, gave an absolute denial to the statement that any member of the Southern deputation received £60 for expenses.
