INDIANS IN TARTAN.
AMONG CANADIAN TROOPS. LONDON, Aug. 3. The Canadian Division includes men from all walks of life, even full-blooded Indian's who are surprisingly garbed in the bonnets and tartan of a Scottish regiment. The Indians announced: “We have come to defend our home.” But most remarkable is the number of United States citizens. Mr David Cross. Mayor of Windsor and chairman of the Dionne Quintuplets Trust, is a private. Four Murphy brothers from the West Ontario Begiment announced: “Our five other brothers will be over soon.” This regiment also boasts two sets of twins and three O’Connor brothers and three Nichols brothers. A Dominion Office communique states that two drafts of Australian reinforcements for the Second Australian Imperial Force have arrived in England in the past few days.
