ACCUSED OF THREAT
TOS|NK TRANSPORT
Americans With British
Troops UnavoidabIy Pre-
vented From Landing.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
HALIFAX, March 12.-Threats of
500 troops of the British army, who
enlisted in the United States, eighty
one of them American citizens, to
sink the transport Toloa unless i'm
nediately allowed to land and pro-
ceed to destinations in the United
States by rail, were reported to the
Canadian authorities today by Capt.
5. The Toloa, after debarking Cana
dian 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 because of the outbreak
of the harbor strike in New York.
Capt Jackson told the authorities
his ship was at the mercy of the SOL
diers.'
Captain Was Under Orders.
The captain said that his orders
from the British admiralty were to
take the men to Halifax and disem-
bark them there. but the military au-
thorities at Ottawa refused, it is
stated, to furnish transportation of
the men to their homes in the United
States. After having started for New
York, and being forced to return the
men complained bitterly of being held
up in their journey. and their threats
resulted.
They said that after serving in the
British army for various terms of
from two to four years it would al
most seem they are citizens of no
country. Most of them came to Canada
during the early months of the war
and enlisted in the British expedition
ary force.
Answer Conveyed to Vessel.
After consultation with the author-
ties, the only answer that Capt. Jack
son could take back to the ship today
was that those who had enough
money to pay their transportation and
sufficient additional money to meet
the United States immigration law
would be allowed to land. But only a
small number, it is understood pos
sessed the necessary funds.
The captain said he disclaimed all
for anything that might
happen when the decision became
known to the men.
The American immigration officials
were appealed to, but they took the
ground that the men possessed no pa
pers proving them to be American
or residents and that in the
absence of these they would have to
pay their entrance fee of IS and the
amount of money stipulated by the
American immigration laws in addi-
tion 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
