CANADIAN TROOPS.
CAUSE RIOT IN CAMP. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. LONDON, June 16. Discontented at the repatriation delays, thousands of Canadians rioted at Witley camp and Godaiming. A series of fires destroyed the bulk of a large camp and portions of a smaller camp in the vicinity. Direct traces were found of deliberate incendiarism. The delays are officially admitted, but are due to labour troubles at sea-ports.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. THE RIOT RENEWED. (Received June 17, 9.5 a.m.) LONDON, June J 6. The Canadian soldiers in the riots at Witley camps liberated all the prisoners and renewed their incendiarism on Sunday bight.
