LONDON. March s.-An official state
ment Issued by Canadian military
hcadquarters In reference to rioting at
kinmel Park says It is regretted that
some Of the accounts Of the fighting
In which Canadian soldiers took part
e1aggerate the seriousness Of the in
cident but gives no details OF what
happened.
1t is explained that the lack Of ship
ping facilities to take Canadian SOL
dicrs back home Is due partly to
strikes. and II Is stated that the dis
satisfaction Of the soldiers over al
legged preferential treatment in en-
barkat!ons may be attributed to the
fact that the men have been divided
into sections according to the Canadian
military districts from which they
came. By this means some shorter
service men were sent home ahead Of

fact that II prOvokes hearty laughter

II carries in a great measure the miss
