A QUESTION OF LOYALTY
RECENT CITY INCIDENT. On the King's Birthday (June 3), it<yn» observed that a certain German j*irk butcher in the city kept his prfemnEes open for-the transaction of busings, 'that was, of course, a day on which' jail other butchers were closed, and the* incident created 6ome feeling among dho other butchers of the city. At a Electing of the city butchers last evening/the affair was'discussed. It was resolved "Bo the question of —, pc irk butcher.—That the Minister of ! Defence shall be notified that a G|er- . man of the above naino kept his sldop open ou June 3, the King's Birthc'lay, and when spoken to exclaimed f/hat he did not Jtnow the King of ISngland, nor did he recognise him. fiucli conduct seems extremely unpatriotic, and we think the person mentioned should be dealt with very severely. Why should our boys be sent to the seat of war when such peoplei are allowed the freedom of ourf. fair land?" Tie meeting also carried unanimously a motion condemning the "unpatriotic attitude" of some of the general public in supporting. , pork butcher, wto kept his shop open ou the icing's E|irtbday, while the other pork nud butchers' shops were closed.
