ANTI-GERMAN RIOTS IN ENGLAND.

RAILWAYMEN'S WORK

SEIZURE OF WIRELESS PLANT.

LONDON, O*. 19. The military were summoned to suppress anti-German riots at Deptford. Twenty-one were arrested, including three women. Crowds assembled before German establishments in the West End on Sunday evening. The police closed and guarded the premises. Mr J. H. Thomas, Labor M.P.. addressing a meeting of railwaymen, said the history of the war would contain few more ennobling pages than those recording the work performed quietly and ungrudgingly by railwaymen. The war had already demonstrated the dependence and interdependence of all classes. While one part was given the duty of labor, the other contributed munificently with its wealth. Schulster is indignant at the construction placed upon the seizure of his wireless plant, which was merely used under license from the post office to receive time signals from the Eiffel Tower. The a instrument _ was too inssnsitive to receive messages from Germany.
