AFTER PRISON RIOT

HUNTED INTO HILLS

Guelph, Jan. 18. Following a riot at the Ontario Reformatory, 150 prisoners have escaped and caused property damage estimated at £40,000. Practically all of the 700 men at the prison were Involved,

Trouble began when a number of men refused to cat their supper, and developed quickly. Some of the prisoners, wielding pieces of amushed Iron bedstends for weapons, forced officials into the administrative build- ing and for a time completely con trolled the prison,

In a sort of frenzy they ran about smashing windows, fusing lights

and

doing whatever destruction they were able. Others, apparently, opened the prison gates and walked out into the surrounding hills. Most of them have been recaptured, but there are still nearly 40 at liberty, being hunted by armed officers over a wide

The destruction in the prison mainly affected the chapel, the hospital and the kitchens,

Police eventually succeeded in res- toring order at the gaol.-Reuter,

"Conscription would not solve our problem. We do not want a vast army for home service but a small, highly trained, specialised army for pruce' time service overseas.

In the event of war there was little doubt but that conscription would cone and come quickly, but not even the most patient citizen of the most authoritarian and totalitarian state would accept conscription for service overseas ilt prace
