LONDON, March 10 The London celebra.
ton of the anniversary of Paris commune
last night consisted of a small crowd of
booty, berry, pot-valiant, squalid, frowsy,
sodden Whitechapel outcasts who shrieked
and fought in small hall in their district
under the eye of a single policeman. Better
not go in, sir, the policeman said as the cor
respondent entered the door of the small hall
at 50 Commonwealth road. There amt no
danger, but it is very unpleasant" 1t was
the fumes of scores of dirty pipes and thou
sand other causes that made the air almost
unbearable About 200 people, fourth of
whom were lushed, soggy Whitechapel
hall, while long-haired Pole was
screaming an address from the plat
form. He cursed and swore with frantic
blasphemy, and called upon his hearers to
arm themselves and wade to liberty through
Dlood w henever he uttered the word blood"
the muddled and maudin crowd set up
shrek of blood blood, blood, i" that was deaf
enng. All of the women and most of the
men had soiled red rags and handkerchiefs,
which they waved in the air as they shrieked
blood" in a chorus Then they would sink
back into drunken Indifference till the word
"biood" was mentioned again Two women
and man lay in senseleSs stupor, with the
crowd treading on them One womans rags
did not half cover her. An illiterate English
man pushed the Pole aside and began to
harangue the people from the platform. 1t
was the most shameless, ribald, and obscene
harangue imaginable. In the midst of it
woman in front Of me struck another woman
with piece of broken beer glass, and they
began to fight like cats. Faces were cut and
bleeding. No one paid the slightest atten-
ton except the policeman, who looked indif
ferently on. Presently one of the women
ran sobbing from the hall with her face
streaming blood. Another woman started
after her when man on my right side made
a sign to the policeman and she was re-
strained. Then my ueighbor plucked the
correspondent sleeve. Don't let that nasty
scene deceive YOU" he said shortly, 1t doesn't
mean that Socialism is dead in London. 1t
means that it is more intelligent They've
left off shouting in public and begun to work
under cover. This thing tonight proves it."
