SOLDIERS THREATENED
TO SINK TRANSPORT
If They Were Not Allowed Immediately
to Land at Halifax and Proceed to
Their Destination in United
States by Rail.

Halifax, N, S., March l2.-Threats of
800 troops of the British army, who en-
listed in the United States, 81 of them
American citizens, TO sink the transport
Toloa unless Immediately allowed to
land and proceed to their destination in
the United States by rail, were reported
to the Canadian authorities to-day by
Captain Jackson, commander Of the
transport,
The Toloa, after debarbing Canadian
troops here, sailed for New York with
the American bound contingent on March
10, but was ordered back to this port to
coal for the return trip to England be-
cause of the outbreak of the harbor
strike in New York.
Captain Jackson told the authorities
he had no guns aboard and that his ship
was at the mercy Of the soldiers.
The captain said that his orders from
the British admiralty were to take the
men to Halifax and disembark them
there, but the military authorities at
ottawa refused, it Is stated, TO furnish
transportation of the men TO their
homes in the United States. Most Of
them enlisted in Canada early in the
war.
After consultation with the authorities
the only answer Captain Jackson took
back to the shin to-day was that those
who had enough money TO pay their
transportation and sufficient additional
money to meet the United States i'm.
migration law would be allowed to land.
But only a few, it is understood, pos.
sessed the necessary funds.
The captain said he discIaimed all re-
sponsibility for anything that might hap
pen when the decision became known to
the men.
The American immigration officials
when appealed to said the men possessed
no papers proving them to be American
citizens or residents and thus would
have to pay their immigration fees, in
addition to transportation, before being
passed for entry into the United States.
The Toloa is under orders to remain
here until Friday, coaling before pro-
ceeding for New York with the Ameri.
can contingent. The authorities had not
this afternoon announced any intention
Of a change in plans on account of the
threats and protests.
