By
last week's Reformer we learn that Mrs. Roy Kramer appears quite
offended because we had said that her husband had been arrested and
taken to military headquarters as a deserter.
We are made acquainted with
the fact that he went of
his own free will, which seems strange when he had to
be taken by a constable in his automobile.
It may be that no papers
were served on him, but he was under arrest just the same; and as to
his being a deserter: he was ordered to report at Niagara Camp
on
10 May 1918 and he failed to do so, and according to the M.S.A.
became a deserter or defaulter, and according to the constable who
took him to Hamilton was considered a deserter and was so called by
the officer in charge there.
We are sorry for Mrs.
Kramer's sake of the extra publicity that this matter has received,
but for that, however, we take no responsibility.
