1t is bit ironical that Strony, I'M
der arrest as suspect in connection
with the fire which destroyed the cap
itol at Ottawa, is known in Chicago
to be bitterly anti-German in senti-
ment. He has sworn vengeance upon
the kaiser if anything happens to his
wife and children, German prisoners
in Belgium. Strony is a Belgian, but
looks like German.
He went to Canada to conduct a
series of concerts, one of which was
in Ottawa the night Of the capitol
fire.
A picture of the Canadian parlia-
ment buildings at Ottawa was among
the possessions of Strony when he
was arrested in Windsor, Ont. Police
admitted that this was their strongest
proof connecting their prisoner with
Ottawa fire.
