QUESTIONING THE OFFICERS. DUTY BEFORE ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.
'(Received April 2, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Ist April. The Home Secretary (Mr. R. M'Kenna), speaking in the House of Commons, said that Sir Arthur Paget informed the Premier that the only question put by the General to the officers was whether they were ready to place duty before all other considerations. It had not been Sir Arthur Paget's intention that they should put this question to subordinates. He announced that officers domiciled in Ulster would be temporarily exempted in the event of operations, but that others declining duty would incur dismissal.
