LORD KITCHENER
[“Sydney Sun” Cables.] A WHITE PAPE!!. (Received this day at 11.0 a.in.) LONDON, Aug. 9. In reference to Lord Kitchener, a White Paper issued states the bodies of officers and men washed up on the Scandinavian Coast were not from the Hampshire, hut were the victims of Jutland Battle. None of the Hampshire’s dead were ever identified as buried there, and there are good reasons for doubting whether the sea would have carried them thither. The Paper points out that Lord Jellicoe secretly instructed a detail cruiser to carry Lord Kitchener to Russia. ’Hie dates were approximate, the departure being actually put forward a day. There was no reason for attributing a bad spy record to the Hampshire. The foundation for that was a single spy scare during the refitting at Belfast, which proved a mare’s nest. It also denied that a submarine attacked the Hampshire with Lord Kitchener aboard and that a spy signalling to the submarine was shot.
KITCHENER’S BODY. LONDON, August 9. It is officially announced that Kitchener’s body was buried and discovered on the Norwegian Coast.
