Mattreatment ot British Soldiers.

From the London News.
 Private Pete Kelly of the Royal Irish Guards has committed suicide in his prison at the Tower of London. The crime for which he was sentenced to "a hundred and sixty-eight hours Imprisonment with hard labor" was absence and loss of kit" Deceased was of an excitable nature," the evil dence said. Perhaps. But also, per haps, that was all the more reason why Private Kelly's judges should nave thought twice before condemning him to felon's treatment for "absence and loss of kit" It is sad ending for young soldier of twenty. This suicide in the Tower has a sinister significance of a general nature. It Is reminder to the public that at this moment 4,000 British soldiers are in prison, many, or most of them, on charges more or less trivial; and that 5000 of them have served in South Africa. Day by day complaints of the difhculty of obtaining recruits for the army are growing more and more seri. ous. Need We wonder at 1t? The risk of being treated like vulgar criminals for some paltry breach of discipline must naturally repel from the service the class of men which the War Office should attract to 1t. There is danger lest the degrading, inhuman, and utter ly detestable spirit of militarism which In Germany has had recent illustra- ton in the Captain Krosigk case, and which French soldier has denounced In an interview with one of our core
