Intense anti-British and anti-Australian feeling was displayed, but incipient insubordination was stopped with a strong hand. A man attempted a hun‘ger+stl-ikc, but only lasted four days. The Dutch authorities‘ carried out the transfei‘ ivithout delay. A hot-meal was awaiting the Germans on disemblai-king. The prisoners Were .. quickly despatched to Germany in two special trains. A party of diggers climbed the masts and sang “Australia. will be there.” The disombarkers re--tortcd, crying out “So will the eGr--mans.” Australian ofiicers and men on the Trazos Montes who visited Rotterdam are convinced that Holland is strongly pro-German.
