LORD KITCHENER'S REPORTED
STATEMENT
A DENIAL,
(Received Oct. 4, 11.20 p.m.)
Melbourne, Oct. 4
The Defence Department cabled to Sir George Reid inquiring as to the correctness or otherwise of the cabled report that Lord Kitchener had said that the war was not likely to last long. Sir George Reid replied that the statement attributed to Lord Kitchener was absolutely incorrect.
London now cables that Lord Kitchener's statement was taken from the "Globe's" report of a farewell gathering of Territorials, at which a captain repeated what Lord Kitchener had said when he was inspecting them.
