Australian Authorities In
clined to Take Serious
Viewof Escapade.
, SYDNEY. Ana traits. Feb. 16.?(Cor
respondence ot The Associated Press)
?A recent riot at Sydney In which
some IS,000 soldiers were Involved can
be called by no other name .than
"mutiny!" In the official view of Sena
tor Pearce, the Minister for Defense,
who expresses his belief that trouble
among the Australian recruits has
been Inspired by "enemy gold and In
fluence."
Newspapers In Sydney and else
where, however, attribute the out
break to long continued failure by the
defense department to see that war?,
time discipline is maintained at the
training camps.
(Some details of the riots at Sydney
have already been learned through the
arrival of steamships at San Francis
co, hut the following elaborates and
confirms previous advices.)
The troops involved in the mutiny
were from the training camps at Cas
ula and Liverpool, near this city. The
trouble was due primarily to an order
from the Inspector-General of the
Commonwealth forces, Major-General
J. W. McCay, increasing the number
of hours of weekly drill from 36 to
40 1-2. This order was issued from
headquarters at Melbourne, and was
immediately received with poor grace
by the recruits at the two big train
ing camps. The order was to go into
effect on the morning of February 14.
On that morning 5,000 men marched
out of the Casula camp, which Is about
25 miles from Sydney, on what they
called a "strike." It Is assumed that
the military guard at the camp was
not strong enough to offer resistence.
In any case the Casula men marched
to the nearby Liverpool camp and In
duced about 10,000 men to join in the
"strike." Although a considerable
number of recruits at both camps re
fused to join in the mutinous proceed
ings, the leaders of the "strike" were
followed by a big majority of all the
recruits. . , MlJ
The first trouble occurred In the
town of Liverpool where, before noon,
large bodies of soldiers had wrecked
two saloons, drunk much liquor, ana
taken practical possession of the place.
The trains from Liverpool to Sydney
were seized by the soldiers, and they
swarmed into Sydney during the rest
of the day. Tlie men at first contented
themselves with parading in military
formation, but later they bagan to
"rush" trolley-cars, commit pretty loot
ing. and frightening women and chil
dren. By evening the situation had
become serious for the' majority of the
men had become intoxicated. The city
police were called out to their maxi
mum strength in both foot and mount
ed men and attempted to enforce a
special order for the closing of sa
loons. The police were unable to
cope with this situation, however,.and
armed regulars were brought from
the Casula and Liverpool camps.
In the early evening the rioters
stormed the German club. Although
that Institution was closed by the au
thorities some time ago, the men wan
tonly stoned it, and broke into many
other buildings. A large number of
arrests were made. Finally a party of
"strikers" attacked a number of sol
dier-pickets stationed at the Central
-Railway Station. The rioters were
first to fire, UBing their revolvers, and
the pickets returned with rifles. As
a result of this clash a cavalryman
from Qeensland was killed and eight
other recruits seriously wounded.
During the night the regular sol
diers succeded in getting the recruits
back to their respective camps, having
arrested the ring leaders. Some of the
latter were dealt flth leniently with
short Jail sentences, but the principal
ones were taken in hand by the mili
tary authorities for court martial.
Keen regret was felt in Sydney ana
all over Australia because of the mut
inous conduct of the recruits. Appre
hension was felt lest the reports of
the trouble should be exaggerated
abroad, and for.a. time the censorship
prevented any account of the occur
rences.

Also a Dentist, Says Dr. H. S.
Falconer In Report to
Club.
An Interesting report has been sub
mitted to the women's club by Dr. H.
S. Falconer of tbis city, relative to
medical Inspection as carried on in
the public schools of this city.
The Woman's club was instrumental
la having the modical inspection bill

tion is carried out as provided for in

ent school year and that a visit la
made once a week to each ot the
schools, where inspection of any new
pupils are made, the sanitary con
ditions ot lavatories, toilets, etc., In
spected and reports made to the heads
ot the school where any changes are
necessary.
Whenever a child 1b found to hare
any Imperfections these reports are
made to the parents who are advised
to see to it that the defects are cor
rected and the child given medical
inspection. s
In the report Dr. Falconer men
tions the need of a school nurse whose
business It win. be. to care for the
pupils who cannot afford medical cara
and alBO suggests that a dentist should'
be employed by the school to look af
ter the teeth of the'children whose i
parents cannot afford to have 'this
work looked after. Be. suggests, that
the dentists ot the city contribute.J
some time each week to the children
of the schools and states that this'is

"Given in large dose to the lower p9RHI?H||gyyfl

Although man is stronger and more re- |

caffeine, in coffee, is a frequent cause of yr
headache, nervousness, biliousness, heart ,;j S
