A RIGoR OF WAR IN.cANApA.

Evidence that the comprehension of wal
is not so pronounced in Canada as in
some parts of Europe was given by the
revolt of 800 informed Austrians against
the work imposed upon them by their
Canadian keepers, as the result Of which
the guards turned their guns and bay
onets on the informed men at Ontario
camp, Inasmuch as the prisoners were
not armed with deadly weapons there
could have been only one outcome of the
rebellious spirit, as the prisoners might
have foreseen; and they were quelled
after several of their number had been
laid low by death or severe wounds. Such
a revolt would scarcely have been pos
sible in European camp of prisoners,
where the rigorous spirit OF war in its
most convincing phases is made manifest
all the times and the men go about the
tasks assigned them like dumb, driven
CATTLE their spirits crushed, their minds
tutored to the one realization that they
are the property OF their captors and
well knowing that to rebel against the
assigned authority is to invite instant
death. But war as exemplfed in Can
ada is none OF the moIlycoddle order and
strong military discipline is maintained
whether it be over prisoners of war or
over the soldiers and civilians of the
dominion The Austrians' revolt at the
Ontario prison camp is likely to be the
last, providing the news of the outcome
is allowed to trickle into the other camps
of internment.

at Akron, 0. A casualty list running
into the scores, with dozen deaths, does
not, of course, alter the degree Of Grim

1t Is remarkable that man who has
