place today in various suburbs of Lon

on. edge The centre of trouble con-
tlnues to be the Deptford district, where
virtually every shop operated by Ger

laborers, many of whom are out of
work.
At Saffron many persons were injured
In the rioting At Walden the mob
stormed the home of a leading coun-
sellor, who was charged with harboring
Germans, and his household goods were
destroyed, while he was severely beaten
before rescued by police
The chief complaint of the rioters is
that the police have been inactive in
stamping out espionage. Hundreds of
letters have been received by the lead
Ing newspapers, all complaining that the
Germans were able to keep the Kaiser
and his officials posted on all movements
Of British troops; on the progress which
was being made by the recruits and of
everything that was being done In the
dockyards and arsenals. Denials by high
Government officials have been disre
garded, and the temper of the mobs ia
becoming increasingly bitter. 1t is feared
mat the riots will spread to other cities

There were more than 30 Englishrnen in

at being compelled TO proceed against the
prisoners saying that he realized that
they had been led away by a spirit OF
public patriotism. However a consider |
able amount of British property had been
destroyed by the rioters and considering |
the extent of the reign of terror, he de- !
clded to ask that the prisoners be re-
manded. This was done.

ADVENTURE, COMEDY AND
TRAGEDY OF THE GREAT WAR

lie Temps publishes the following letter
| from a French officer:
81 was shot in the breast while leading
n charge, and the fear seized me that
might fall into German hands. Therefore
l held revolver at my head, ready to
pun the trigger, when my own men drag
ged me to the rear under hail of lead"
The London Times says that favor
lite sign by which German spies convey
information is a black COW, crudely
sketched in black crayon on walls, gates
and fences. The Allies passed this black
cow by without particular notice for
time, partly because it was SO badly
drawn.
Then it was noted that it sometimes
was small, sometimes large, sometimes
standing, IT other times lying down. and
often the horns were ridiculously long in
comparison with the body of the animal
Finally study was made of the
strange sign and it was found that
small COW signiiied that the road was
only weakly defended; a moderate sized
COW meant that the Allies troops were
IN the ueighborhood: large COW was a
warning that there were earthworks or
trenches near by. The direction of the
danger was indicated by the direction In
which the cows head was pointed. H. the
head pointed into the air it meant that
the spy considered that the German avia-
tors had better reconnottre the ground
before the troops advanced.
Nah. then, Soissidge. amt yer glad

WEEKLY REVIEW OF ST0CKlV|ARKET

New York, March 21.-The lassitude of
 the stock market this week rehected the
 uncertainty of speculatives opinion. Ih-
 fluences were divided between domestic
 and foreign factors. The tagging steel
 markets centered attention upon the
 forced economies of the railroads Equip
 ment shares hardened in the belief that
 necessitous renewals are imminent Cop
 Fer prices also improved. Underlying
 support came from promise of a largo
 yield of wheat.
 unsettlement was caused by the doubt
 surrounding the freight advances al though belief that higher rates would be granted was strengthened by Washing ton reports. The unsolved Rock Island problem was continuing burden Al scme other points of recent weakness there were signs that liquidation had been completed. Liquidation from for eign sources continued. Weak positions there, which were carried through las lyear's crisis, had to be cleared up. The Ulster question weighed on the Lon. idon market.
 Gold shipments to Argentine came into discussion when money rates declined in New York National bank returns showed reduction of security holdings in consequence of the paying off of short term notes
 The expected announcement of the fed. eral reserve board of reserve cities makes April 1 a date of unusual significance in the markets. A conference is to set tie the bituminous wage scale, which ex. pires also on that date.

Madame Ise'bell Gives Re- ducing Diet That Will Not
 Harm Health or Beauty
LESSON XII-PART V Obesity (COntinued)

The diet that goes under the name of 'banting' which I gave in last article will reduce the most stubborn cases of obesity three to five pounds week, whether physical exercises are included in the regime or not. But there are cer- tain disadvantages in adopting so rigor- ous a diet
 Disadvantages of Banting For perfect health a more varied diet is necessary; the system needs some starch and sugar and a considerable amount of fat Women who undergo the bonting system are apt to emerge with sallow. dry, wrinkled skin. They look, as they are. undernourished. The diet recommended is less strenuous and so good effects should be accompanied by at least one-half hours daily work at specific exercises that I shall give you later and a certain amount of walking or vigorous outdoor work
 Madame Ise'belPs Reducing Diet
 Rreakfast-One egg, cooked in any ashion except fried two thin slices of bacon: toast cup of weak tea, with milk if desired. but no sugar; orange grape fruit or apple sauce made without sugar
 Lunch-Choose one of the following dishes: Cold meat with green salad. Raw oysters with few buttered crackers Dry toast with baked apple apple sauce or any stewed fruit cooked with very little sugar. Any soup made without cream eaten with toast or crackers. An occasional glass of buttermilk may be drunk.
 . Dinner-Grilled chop or steak, under done roast beef and lamb, chicken, boiled or grilled fish (excepting salmon and sardines). green salad with French dress ing, any vegetable that grows above ground, with butter omitteds from sea- soning, and cheese or fruits,for dessert. Cup; of black coffee may be drunk after dinner. @N
 This diet includes a small amount of fat and sugar and enough liquid to aid digestion. In addition. drink on arising a cup of hot water with juice of one lemon in it and partake freely of pure cold water between meals. If the dinner hour Is late. a cup of weak tea, but no food, may be taken at 5 o'clock. Food between meals or before going to bed is absolutely forbidden,
