NEWCASTLE, Pa, Aug. 29.-Geo.
D. Blair, of this city, has just receiv-
ed letter from Henry W. Thornton,
the American brought over last win
ter to show the English how to run
the Great Eastern Railway. Mr..
Thornton is now engaged in assist
ing the British government to expe-
dite the shipment of troops. He
writes:
1T is a wonderful but terrible ex-
perience for me. Terrible not that
we are in danger personally, but be-
cause it is pathetic to see the chap
you dined gaily with last night pick
up his rifle, kiss his family good-by
and calmly join his colors.
"All England has risen as one man.
The internal discords which threat

pletely evaporated and the Irish will
lose no opportunity to be in the thick
Of the fray. Nearly every able bodied
Englishman has enlisted. They come
from all quarters and classes and
quietly and grimly go about the bust

bad for the Kaiser as it did for Napo-

The average Londoner, who would
not dream of throwing stone
through a druggists window or help
ing to erect caterers store, may
smile at these things. But in many
parts of the city German residents
have little cause to smile. In two
cases German bakers shops have
been wrecked in the night, and in one
case a German grocer suffered SINH
larry.
In the foreign quarters, where the
Germans live and do business in
great numbers stories have been
spread that German bakers, drug
gists and caterers have planned to
poison their food and medicines in
order to kill their English patrons.
Such stories are utterly groundless,
of course, but in the heated time of
war, they inflame the British people
of the neighborhood and lead to vio-
lence. lawlessness and outrage.
At present the Germans themselves
are appearing outwardly serene, but
not a few of them are quietly dispos-
ing of their business and property
preparatory to leaving the country,
some of them returning to the father
land, but the most of them going to
the United States.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-There are in
London many thousands of Germans,

the International war has affected in
a variety of ways. Though the peo-

the Germans in their midst that they
are not welcome and that Londoners
in time of war want nothing Teu-
