Win- Conditions Decribed in Book of Winston Churchill London, March 7.--(By Thos. T. Champion, London Manager of The Canadian Press)--In view of the wide publicity that was given at the time to certain disturbances during the demobilization period among Ca- nadian troops encamped in England who were aching to return home, 1t is interesting to learn from Right Hon. Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, that at this very time several thousand British soldiers were in mutiny at Calais and held possession of the town. In his book, "The World Crisis-- the Aftermath," published today, Mr. Churchill says the Calais mutineers were eventually overawed by Sir Ju- lien (afterwards Viscount) Byng, who was placed by Sir Douglas (after- wards Earl) Haig, at the head of two fighting divisions, and who encircled the disaffected soldiers. The censor stopped anything of the Calais mutiny appearing in the Press, although long stories of the Canadian disturbances in England found their way into the papers and in many par- Heulars proved to be highly exagger- ated.

FIND PANIC WAS CAUSE OF WRECK OF THE ITAUA ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY IS LAID ON GENERAL NOBILE : Crew Ignored Him at the Crucial Moment, Causing Disaster in Arctic (Cable Service to The Times by The Canadian Press) Rome, Mar. 7.--That the real cause of the disaster to the Nobile airship Italia, was a panic on board the dirigible, resulting from the crew's complete demoralization and lack of trust in their commander, was revealed yesterday by the offi- cial commission which investigated the Arctic tragedy and planced en- tire responsibility for the affsir on General Umberto Nobile, The dis- closures give an entirely new pic- ture of what happened to the ill- fated airship. ' The inquiry revealed that when the Italia begun to sink under the load of ice and snow that had ac- cumulated on her envelope, every- body on board, ignoring Nobile and without waiting for orders, began throwing out ballast and excitedly shouting contradictory commands of their own. The result was that the dirigible which had been drop- ping with sickening swiftness through the fog toward the Polar ice pack, suddenly began to rise again at an equally alarming rate. More frightened than ever, and still 'paying no more attention to General Nobile than if he had been one of their own number, the crew rushed to the hydrogen valves and opened them wide. Again the ac- tion was more effective than de- sired, and the ship fell rapidly, crashing on the ice with results well ¥gows to the world, In charging General Nobile with bad airmansghip, the commission found him responsible for not pick- ing a more homogeneous crew when he had been given an entirely ing all responsibility for the expe- dition. The companions . that he picked to accompany him = on the Arctic adventure were a mixture.of Italians and foreigners, scientists, journalists, sailors, riggers and or- dinary civilians. He was charged with failing to obtain a trained air- ship. pilot, although it was well known his own knowledge and ex- perience along these lines left much to be desired.
