WESTIGATE CRUELLY USED IN GERMAN AFRICA Loyalty of Natives to Their Teachers Seentin Letter from Minister Sandwich, April 3.—After two and a half years of anxiety, relatives and friends of Rev. T. 13. R. Westgate, brother of ,Rev. H. P. Westgate , of this town, and amissionary in German East Africa when the war broke out, have just heard of his safety, al- though ile and his fellow -Canadian Mis- sionaries have endured much persecu- tion. In May, 1915, Mr. Westgate and the forty other members of the Canadian missionary colony, including five wo- men, were interned at Tabora, Wren and women being herded into one small, uncleanly shed, and guarded by natives. Trumped-up charges of teaching the natives heliography was perferred against Dr. Westgate and another miss- ionary, Dr, Moulton. One native, although subject to the cruelest treat- ment, could not be induced to give false testimony against then, and after he had received 110 lashes, declared fearlessly that the missionaries had taught hint to read and write and the Christian religion, but nothing else. Rev H, P. Westgate, of Sandwich, Is a soil -in-law of Mrs, Kitty of town. 111•e0eiiieei049ii114GOMIS 008 Local News Doing Her "Bit" Miss LoIse Holmes left last week for Toronto where she will work in a shell factory during the sunnier.
