(PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPYBIGHT].

London, Aug. 24.

Rioting has taken place at Bargold. A dozen English and Jewish shops were wrecked and looted. There were numerous baton charges. Subsequently the presence of the military stopped further dsiorder. The crowd at Tredegar, in the presence of the military, relinquishes their threats to release the rioters whc had been sentenced.

An inquiry showed that the present paroxysm against aliens is attribut able to a spirit of indiscipline rui. riot.

Correspondents at Tredegar, discussing the local irritant there, re mark that the inhabitants were always reluctant to permit a colony in theii midst. They expelled the Irish citizens on a former occasion. Now they chose the present national unrest tc assail the Jews. What had begun with a specialised grievance of the Jewish individual quickly developer, into a racial persecution, furnishing a pretext for hooligan disturbances antplunder. The authorities emphasise the difficulty of dealing with such outbreaks in the long towns, each of one main street following the trend of the valley, with side streets affording an easy refuge for bottle flingers; hence the need of military assistance for the maintenance of order.
