There was a very serious riot on Thursday . at Aldershot.
The German Rifles arrived in camp on Thursday. A portion of the Borty-first British Regiment entered a sort of canteen outside the lines, where some of the Ger- mans and some women were drinking. A quarrel began about the women ; in the dispute the Germans tore off the medals from the British soldiers' breasts, but the Englishmen nevertheless tried to settle matters amicably. Still the English were followed out of the house by the Germans, who not only assailed the men with stones, but broke down a number of huts. Find- ing themselves worsted, the Germans came out with guns and bayonets, and were only prevented from using them by the opportune arrival of scone Ger- man and English cavalry. The German rioters did not disperse until they were charged by the cavalry. Several of the English are hurt ; and up- wards of six Germans lie in hospital, not out of danger. Squadrons of cavalry patrolled the German camp all night.
