HALIFAX, N.S., March 26.—The Royal George with 1,600 returning Canadian war veterans docked at loon yesterday. Major G. R. Rodgers, of Toronto, an original 4th battalion man and widely known or his work at Quebec during the disturbances there a year ago, was the officer commanding the troops. Major Rodgers was an eye-witness of the Rhyl riots, and states he reports originating in England were greatly exaggerated. The trouble had been due to dissatisfaction among some labor battalions, and had been brought to a head by the foreign element within and without the camp. Lieut. J. D. Sherman, of Quebec who was attached to the intelligence department at Rhyl, confirmed Major Rodgers’ statement regarding the trouble at Kinmel Camp. Among the men returning on the Royal George were approximately 100 prisoners of war. The following officers arrived: Lt. H. J. Doheny, Toronto; Lt. E. W. Griffin, Hamilton; Capt. L. J. Kift. Cannington Station. Ont.; Lt. F. C. Lett, Barrie, Ont.; Capt. N. L. Strickland, Cornwall, Ont.; Major J. Hennessy, Fort Coulonge, Que.; Lt. W. P. Murray, St. Paul’s Station, Ont.; Lt. J. H McKenzie, Vancou- ver; Capt. A. D. Crease, no address; Major F. W. Boultbee, Vancouver; Major J. M. Stewart, Washington; Capt. D. A. Taylor, Red Deer, Alb.; Major C.
