Tho curious position thati may arise under the present system of gathering and distributing war news was well illustrated on Thursday (says the London "Observer" of May 2nd). A Reuter despatch, dated Wellington, Thursday received by the London newspapers between 11.and nocn, set out that in the capital of New Zealand there had been a great meeting of rejoicing following Mr. Harcourt's congratulatory message on the bravery of the Neiv Zealanders in the operations at the Dardanelles. No one in England (outside official circles) even knew that they had been engaged, and at 3.15 the only information New Zealand headquarters in London could give was: "Regret I have no information on the matter."
