"WHO GOES THERE?"
FATAL RESULT FOLLOWS A SENTRY'S CHALLENGE. (Received 9.45 a.m.) London, April 19. Four officers who wore motoring at Ramsgate disregarded the sentry n challenge and Lieutenant Winch, of the East Kent Rifles, was shot dead. The sentry has been exonerated. MISCELLANEOUS. London, April 19. .Mr Chamberlain, at Birmingham, made a strong protest against the censorship of war news, saying, "A Government that trios to aid this country with blinkers will not get the best out of its mount." The Football Association decided that if the war lasts no serious matches will be played next season, which is estimated to mean a loss of wages of a million sterling. The London Star says the nation is furnishing volunteers faster than the War Office can arm them. Any attempt to impose conscription on a people which is making sacrifices so eagerly and so readily would be an insult that would be eagerly resented.
