MUTINOUS BRITISH

JAMAICA CAMP. SCENES,

· 1

A story of mutiny scenes at New castle Camp, Jamaica, West Indies, on the night of June 14 was told to a Press representative by Mr. Charles Davies, of Drio Road, Stirling, who at the time of the mutiny was a corporal in the hand of the Argyll and Sutherland High-

landera.

After the mutiny (which was re- ferred to briefly in the House of Commons last month) Privatee Clark, Melnsyre, and Cunningham, of the 2nd Argyll nad Sutherland Highlanders, were sentenced to five sears' penal servitude ben general court-martial which sat for 18 days. Mr. Davies states that, in addi- tion to the three men sentenced. two privates were aeo tried by a district court-martial in Jamaica, The findings of this Court have not yet been reported. Mr. Davies continued:--

Trouble had been brewing in in the battalion long before we were ordered to Newcastle, from Kingston for a change of air. Com plaints were being made by many men that they were overworked...

Matters came June 14.

"After answering the roll of the sergeant-major at night, the five men who were court-martialed went into a hungalow where Lance- Corporal Harrop was sleeping and played eards. They got noisy and wakened Harrop, who told them to cicar out.

The literary people are not sui- pected, because literary people who live in garden suburbs hardly ever read anything but their own books.

The artists are not suspected, bes cause most of them have been driven away by the high cost of living.

Suspicion, at the moment, hovers between the stockbrokers, the big business men, and the nursemaids.

A voluntary worker is 'now engaged on the thankless task of calling at each house and asking Her politely for the lost books.

The Bishop of Middleton said that it was clear that the Church of England needed in its own spiritual life a great strengthening The(Library) Council regret to

The great advances in the physi cal sciences had made people more. interested in, the material world than the spiritual, and they were not to be blamed, nor was there harm in it provided the dance was restored. There were also grent changes taking place in the spiritual world. But Secularism was the rival to Christianity all the world over.

Secularism was. not wholly a bad thing, but to some extent rather a splendid' and noble thing.

But man occupied the centre of this world, and in that fact, they found the great con- flict between the prevailing world outlook and the outlook of the Gospel.

As far as they faced up to the new ideas would they renew the

Sergt.-Major Freeman ordered these two privates to march to the guardroom, hut Clark, Cunningham, and McIntyre, supported by the shouts of the crowd, stopped them.

"An escort was detailed to take the two privates, both of whom appeared willing to go, but as soon as they started. the other three pulled the escort away.

"The confusion was at its height when Lieut. Davidson, the orderly officer arrived. He ordered the five men to go to the guardroom. They refused. and Cunningham swore. The Clark began to sing the Red Flag Cunningham said, I am a son of the soil and afraid of nobody. He added that if Lieut. Davidson would draw his claymore he would draw a bayonet.

Lieut. Davideon ordered the men to go to their beds. Then, to everyone's strprise, the two pri- vates gave themselves up at the guardroom, and not long afterwards, Clark, Cunningham, and Melatyrs did the same."

"DESERTION" ON HIS DOCTOR'S ADVICE.

THE CONSUMPTIVE WIFE.

The question whether the hus- band of a consumptive woman from whom he ves apart on the advice of his medical man is liable to be summoned for alleged desertion was raised at the Marylebone Police court when Stanley Edward Woodall, Edbrooke Road, Elgin Avenue, London, was summoned by his wife.

Mra Wondall said that she had been married only six months, She went into hospital in July. When she left there in September and went to the house her husband's sister and mother refused her ad- mission.

the Way of Renewal Movement was simply a witness to the rewakening to a conviction of the need of every depärment of growth in Christian life. While the Church had done wonderful work in the religious eduention of children, it had given far too little attention to the religious education of adoles cents and adults. The problem of religious education was one, not three separate parta.

Search for Eacteric Cults.

The Bishop of Carlisle said that one way of renewing the spiritua} life of the Church, although study Was essential, was in attending church. There was no subject on which there was more ignorance and superstition and inability to forma definite opinion thrin as to what was the Christian doctrine of life after death, and no subject on which the laity needed more in- struction. The consequence was that they found people everywhere going after every kind of esoteric cult and superstition.

The Christian teaching on this subject was very slight, and that made it the harder. And yet it was true perhaps that 'no service was.better attended than a funeral. But was it attended intelligently. or had it become a social function? They would doubt that less if they thought of the marriage service.

There was no subject on which people more needed instruction than on marriage, and especially on the question of sex. He always deliberated whether he ought not, instead of speaking to the bride and bridegroom, to preach a very much-needed sermon to the congre gation at the wedding. (Applause.)

He knew what the countryside looked like on Sunday morning and where the people were, and al- though. would be a breach of the law, he thought that it would be better for the parson in many a country parish to give up the whole morning service and say a prayer with the lads at the road corners waiting for accidents, and the pro- In reply to Mr. Samuel Coleman,ple clustering round the bridge. solicitor for Woodall, she agreed that she had the infectious com. plaint when the married her hus band.

Mr. Coleman: You did not tell bim you had it 7-Yes.

Mr. Coleman said that Woodall was acting on medical advice. in living apart from his wife, and he submitted that his conduct did not amount to desertion.

The Magistrate (Mr. Ronald Powell): I cannot help it. She is his wife.

An order to pay 188, a week was made.

An eminent doctor, commenting on the case, snid. "The medicn) *profession might advise a couple not to cohabit together, but they would never suggest that a man should desert his wife because, she I consumptive. After all, when a man marries ho must put up with his wife's ailments, whatever they may be.

The medical profession does not advise desertion' because one of the parties in the marriage has an infectious complaint. By con- sent a couple might agree to live apart, and a doctor might advise them to do so, but he would not suggest that one should Terr he other."

There was only one way to deni with that, and that was by the laity going back to church. Noth ing would so help a renewal of spiritual life as that. Perhaps the first way to gain real unity was by being loyal to one's own church in order that they might respect other people's loyalty to theirs..
