MILITARY OBJECTORS
a RELIGIOUS AND CONSCIENTIOUS. When tho last transports sailed with troops, fourteen conscientious objectors to military service were placed on board by a guard from Trenthain Camp. There are still a number of religious objectors in camp. Some of these are willing to do work about tlie camp, others ejre not, but all refuse to do anything which vrculil tend to make them soldiers. It may bo mentioned that there is a clear distinction' between the religious and the conscientious objector. The former objects on religious grounds, the latter object 3 to conscription. Both types give considerable trouble to the camp stall's by refusing to work, drill, or put on uniforms—a few have even refused to draw their pay. On the other hand, there are among the religions objectors a number who cheerfully perform orderly work and fatigues. So far none of tho objectors have refused to take their meals.
