THE KIPLING INTERVIEW.
DENIED BY’ THE POET. Washington, Sept. 12. The Secretary for War, answering Rudyard Kipling, says no good purpose will be served by Kipling’s statement’, even if it was justified by facts. “I will not enter into a controversy about the United States’ part in the war, but I cannot understand how a man of Kipling’s learning makes a statement without ascertaining the facts, or that’he publicly asserts as a fact something refuted by matters of record. The evidence indicates that the British and French leaders were responsible for the armistice, which was entered into over an American protest. The United States did not profit as a result of the war, but spent nearly twenty billions of dollars and loaned additional money to foreign countries and asked for no reparations. The history of the United States participation in the war is honourable in every respect.—(A. and N.Z.) KIPLING DENTES STATEMENTS. London, Sept. 13. Kipling, in a message to the “Times,” denies that he accorded au interview to Clare Sheridan or said the things ascribed to him in the New Y’ork “World” regarding America’s part in the war.—(“Times.”)
