AUSTRALIA'S MILITARY CAMP
COMMISSION OF INQUIRY. MORE INTERESTING EVIDENCE (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright) SYDNEY, July 25. Received July 25, 11.30 p.m. At the camp enquiry Mrs McKinnon, a relative by marriage to Dr Schlenck, in her evidence stated that the doctor in conversation with her declared that the physical condition of the Australians gave them no chance against the fine men of the German army. Dr Schlenck, recalled, denied the alle gation. He added that ho had never been to Germany and knew nothing of the physical standard of the German army. Orchard, a member of Parliament, cross-examined, admitted that he knew the only ground on which Senator Millen based his charges against Schlenck was that the latter allegedly said that the Germans were not beaten yet. He admitted that there was no ground for the charge of disloyalty and having German sympathy against Schlenck.
