Thousands OF citizens OF London

male, whatever their nationality,

precision during the last twenty-four
hours in attacks on Germans, prin-
cipally upon their shops in the poor
quarters of London and Liverpool,
while there have been minor dis
turbances in Manchester, Birken-
head, Glasgow and a few other
places. The German residents may
