Unnrmed Policemen

One thing. at least. seems 20 have
been demonstrated by the tragedy en-
acted in London Tuesday. when the
military had to be called out to deal
with a handful of desperate anar-
chists. and that Is the impracticability
of the theory under which the Lon
don police are allowed to carry no
arms other than a wooden club. ex-
Cept on extraordinary occasions From
the newspaper reports Of the affair II
sppears that after the anarchists had
harricaded themselves and the fight
rad started. q detachment of police,
armed with revolVerS. appeared on
the scene. But. in the opinion OF the
authorities in charge. the hobbies
were unable TO cope with the situa-
ton. so the guards from the Tower
and a Calling gun or so were ordered
to the scene. II the policemen first
called TO the scene had carried re-
volvers and had been moderately pro-
ficient In the use Of their weapons
there might have been a different story
to tell.-NewpOrt News Press.

the terror.
