WAR CONDITIONS BLAMED
OFFICIAL EXPLANATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. When the matter in the above telegram was referred to the DirectorGeneral of the Post and Telegraph Department for comment, he gave an immediate assurance that he appreciated to the full the disappointment and perhaps even distress occasioned people who could not get information as to the disposal of cablegrams they had sent, perhaps to dear ones overseas. He explained that the inability of the department to make inquiries overseas regarding the reported non-deliv-ery of a telegram to a soldier in the Middle East was through no indifference or lack of interest on the part of the department. Rather was it a case of the department being in the hands of the overseas authorities and not being in a position to afford the sender anv satisfaction in the matter.
