London, May IL Although it might
appear a wild statement TO make, it
really is true TO say that England
has awakened 10 the fact that the
war is proceeding and she is in it.
The Lusitania's sinking and the South
End bombs have done what all ap-
peals and threats at recruiting meet
ings have failed 70 accomplish
The entire country is ablaze with
red-hot anger Of a type that doesn't
go out. Probably never before has
public opinion made itself so unmis-
takably felt and it has had the effect
in few hours Of making the govern
ment change It's entire course Of ac-
tion.
In the House of Commons to-day it
was agreed BY members of all parties
that Premier Asqulth's statement that
the segregation or internment of Ger
mans was being considered could only
mean one thing that tomorrow he
will announce that every German IN
England is 10 be put under guard.
From the Germans point Of view this
is the best thing that could happen
to them. II is not the slightest eXag-
Ccration 10 say that cve-y German, nat
uralIzed or not. walking the streets to-
day does 80 a. The imminent peril OF
his life. and this DESPITE all the efforts
Of police and military.
The people have now taken matters
into their own hands. In every quarter
Of London rioung Is going on. In
Poplar alone over twenty constahles
were severely hurt in trying TO protect
Germans. hut they might as well have
tried to keep back the sea. Il is pitt
able. but 1t s true.
The wreckers started to-day In
Smithfeld meat market, hunting out
every German. One OF the latter drew
revolver and threatened the crowd,
but they were on top Of him instantly,
nearly tearing him 20 pieces. Not a
single one Of hundreds OF German
butchers can buy a single pound Of
meat o-day.
A; Smthheld alone many thousand
pounds worth Of orders were refused.
Germans Defy Crowd.
In East India Dock Road. the Ger
mans formed themselves into a bat
talon 20 defy both police and civilians,
even proceeding so far as 10 throw the
taunt: "One German to fve English
men
In the rush which followed a large
force Of police was simply swept away.
The crowd in a few minutes wrecked
$50 German shops. Jewellers prem
ises were rsnsacked watches and
clocks were thrown in the gutter;
German pianos also went into the
streets and some Germans, trying 10
hide under mattresses, shared sim
liar fate.
Clcrgymen and priests intervened.

Berlin. via the Hague, May PA special
cable dispatch to the New York Tribune says:
in reply to your wireless | can say that
there is universal deep regret in Germany at the
loss of human lives in the sinking OF the LusI-
tania. The responsibility rests with England,
who. through her plan of starving the entire
civilian population Of Germany, forced our
country to retallatOry measures and answered
the German offer to stop submarine warfare If
the starvation plan was given up by even
more stringent blockade England, wrongtully
using neutral citizens as a shield against the at
tacks on the British war supply must bear the
responsibility for the victims to whom she care,

for the transportation Of war materials and no.

''The Lusitania was warned so timely and
SO expressly that Germany even rlSked the sue
cess of her undertaking. England rldlculed the
warning and promised safety measures, thereby
misleading the passengers, and then tailed 10
take proper precautions. :,
''Germany regrets that Americans dlsre.,
garded the we'll meant German warnings and
hoDes the American government will now warn
her own citizens against taking passage on
armed British vessels carrying cOntraband.
We are confident that when Americans know
the full details there can be nothing IN the
sinking of the Lusitania to disturb the good
feeling between Germany and America.
