The Sunday papers are annoyed at being deprived of publication of the New Year honors. It was originally intended to publish them 'to-day, and the official list was sent to the Sunday papers, but as publication in the newspapers must not precede official publication in the London Gazette, which has never been published on a Sunday. Downing Street requested the Sunday papers to withhold publication. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
