'GOVERNMENTS’ BLUNDER '
PUBLIC BARRED FROM WESTMINSTER ABBEY. “LACK OF VISION.” By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable AsncUtm. (Received October 21, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, October 20. The Dean of Westminster announces that as the Abbey service on November llt-b. Armistice Day, must of necessity be of an official character, no tickets will be available for the public, but tho fighting services and ex-service-men will be represented. The “Daily Telegraph” says: “This astonishing announcement eclipses even the Government blunder of abandoning the Cenotaph service. A substituted afternoon service in Trafalgar Square would lack the Impressiveness of the Cenotaph ceremony. The Government has shown complete lack of vision and sympathy with national feeling.”
