■NO NEWS YET TO HAND. All day long after the'receipt of the message'-in the morning rumours were in. circulation'yesterday to the effect that the ,New. Zealanders had suffered Severe casualties, and that the Government had received advice of the numbers, which, according to the rumours and th conscience of the individuals inventing them, varied from 200 to MOO. At 11 o'clock hist night the Commandant'.'(Colonel'Robin) had - received no such information, and if any such hews werovreceived officially in New Zealand it would, be communicated to him at once. ' '"To add; 'to'_ the anxiety of parents or other relatives of soldiers at the front by inventing or even repeating; these rumours is a . practice . that cannot be too strongly-reprobated. Of this the people of New Zealand may be assured now,- that the Government knows no more than has been made public, and that as soon as news of casualties comes, whatever the news may be, it will be made public at .once.
