THJ5 SOLDIER'S CONSCIENCE. Killing in Crimean War and in In- M dian Mutiny. In reference to the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, in which tl he took part, Lord Tredegar has ci raised the question of the soldier's se conscience. Speaking at an anniver- cc sary gathering on Saturday, he said, w iV "I give myself the benefit of the si doubt that I have no murder on my Si conscience." He was not certain, he fii said, whether he killed a man in that charge or not. si v Every one knows that even if he gi had killed a man in action he ei would not be guilty of murder, p* The conscience of the British sol- tl dier has apparently the effect of ss making him extremely reticent on m the subject. Hardly ever will hn w old soldier declare that he. has wi the feeling of avenging inhumanity tt was added to the sense of duty in b< battle. When the Canadian rifles were in gi Bffi; England a few weeks ago they had cc with them a veteran of the 93rd regi- cs ment whom the young riflemen pi Blk sought to "draw" on his fighting ex ploits. "The furthest he even went cl sgl- was to say, 'I'm no conscious that m ever I killed a Russian, and I was in & i& maist o' the fights, but wish I had a hi HE sovereign for every one I bayoneted n< il in the mutiny. There were aye thocht tl o' Cawnpore.' Chelsea pensioners and si i ither old soldiers preserved the same ca attitude when questioned yesterday in m connection with Lord Tredegar's re- bi marks. The Crimean veteran would K not go beyond saying, 'I suppose I must have killed men.' " An ex-dragoon who went through gc both the Crimean and the Mutiny Y. campaigns practically repeated the st remarks of the 93rd veteran. "1 F1 |. can not say that I ever killed anyone ar | in the Crimea. But the Mutiny was C( different. There we were going to avenge the murder of women and children. I was at Secunderabad when we used nothing but the bayonet. We v got them against a wall and killed ^ till we had to get coolies to pull away tl] > the dead so that we could get at the ^ Hving. As we left I passed a man gl 1 - lying dead, as I thought, on the grass I heard a noise and looking back saw g( ho war fiittincr no and covering m Iijg? me with his gun. I drove my bay- *e onct so hard that I had to put my ? foot on him to pull it out. I am an old man and I believe it is wicked, hut still feel a thrill when*! think of ^ ^ the way we avenged out country- ? W_. : women.
