"MISUNDERSTOOD." Wellington, June 9. Referring to the cabled, statement, attributed to Commissioner McKie in reference to the Empress of Ireland disaster, Powley, the Salvation Army Chief Secretary for' New Zealand, says that "Commissioner McKie has been misunderstood. It is unthinkable that he should hold or give expression to such an idea. To suggest that God would visit his displeasure on the Army in such a way, involving as it did the loss of hundreds of livesj and causing widespread sorrow fco thousands of people who had no connection with the,Army, is manifestly absurd. Ido not believe he said any such thing."
