RiOting GiOeS Place to Condemnation of
 Germany By Public

London, May 1.-The riots which occurred earlier in the week have given place to condemnation by pub lie men of the German emI eror and his advisors who are charged with the responsibility for the actions which have aroused public anger. The de- mand is made that the British govern ment publicly proclaim the personal responsibility of members of the Ger man government for the outrages perpetrated by German officers or their agents during the present war.
 A resolution in this sense was nov ed at a public meeting in Chelsea to- night by Lord Charles Beresford and was seconded by Lord Robert Cecil. It was unanimously passed Lord Boresford urged that all German prop erty in the British empire be confis- cated and that all rich Germans, whether naturalized or not, be intern ed until British prisoners in Germany are treated as honorable prisoners of war"
 Lord Cecil said he had been told that Emperor William did not ap- prove of what had been done, but the speaker declared that if the German emperor disapproved and allowed these things to go on, he was ten times more guilty and must be pun ished, this must be on condition of any peace.
 Louis Harcourt, British secretary of state for the colonies. spoke at a meeting on the watetr front tonight saying Germany stood at the bar of the world a naked and unashamed monster"

that the ambassador was pl aaseI with the friendly tcue O fthe noe amt vas himself hopeful and confident that the questions in dispute could be sa,- isfactorily settled through diplomacy.
 In all quarters it was believed Ger many would not delay her reply but that high officials of the German gov ernmeut would take 1t under imma- diate consideration when it arrived in Berlin. The belief was he'd by well informed European diplomats that Germany would consider care fully the military advantages of col- tinued attaks on enemy merchant ships and probably would consent to abandon them only if food supplies were in some way guaranteed as Ger man confidence is strong that tle al- lies can be kept at bay in the eastern and western theatres of war indelu- itely.
 The effect on Germanys position by the possibility entry of Italy into the war, however. is another factor which trained diplomats think will be taken into consideration by Germany in determining whether she will aban- don her powerful weapon of attack the submarine-to destroy enemy commerce.
 The fact that Germany once had agreed to give mp her submarine war fare if she could obtain the unrestrict- ed passage of foodstuffs and raw ma terials to her civilian population was commented upon by many diplomats

 During the day a circular was dis tributed asking the people to form in procession and proceed to the villa Ada. the residence of King victor Emmanuel and demonstrate their loy- alty to the king, but also express their favor of joining the war.
 These circulars caused the forming of processions of thousands of people who with flags and shouting enthusi- astically marched toward the villa Ada. On the way the demonstrators smashed all windows and destroyed the signs of German shops.
 Infantry and even cavalry men and artillery men charged the procession and closed the streets leading to the villa Ada. The mob, however. pro- ceeded to force the closing of all German shops, placing them with signs reading closed as a national protest"
 1t is asserted that Sienor Gfllitta, when he was received by King Victor Emmanuel this morning, expressed the opinion to the king that Signor Salandras government, not having been oyertArown by parliament, Sa- landra must remain in power or be intrusted with the task of forming a new cabinet
 Signor Salandra, Signor Marcora, president of the chamber of deputies, and Signor Manfredi president of the senate, and other men high in poll tics, also were in conference with the king during the day It is stated they suggested Signor Gilitti be entrusted with the formation of the new cabi- net, alleging he was responsible for the crisis and therefore should bring about its solution

Washington, May 1.-The note sent to Germany yesterday by the United States government as a sequel to the Iusitania disaster was delayed in transmission because of con2ested cables and probably will not be pre- sented by Ambassador Gerard 10 the minister of foreign affairs in Berlin mtil some time tomorrow.
 Secretary Bryan received message from Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page at Rome saying the note. which had been addressed to the American embassy there to be forwarded by telegraph had arrived at , D. m. to- day and that in an hour and forty minutes it dad been copied and re- layed to Berlin hy telegraph via Vien- ma.
 ~-TIe reason for the delay was not stated but state department mes ages have frequently been held mp in their circuitous routes because they are in code and require careful sending to assure accuracy of the cipher groups The note had been sent oyer the French cable from New York to HIayre and thence by telegraph thtou France to the American em- bassy at Rome
 luasmuch as t would require a few hours to decipher the note, it was be- lieved by state department officials that it would not be ready for pre- sentation until late this evening and un ess Ambassador Gerard had ar. ranged a special engagement with the foreign minister it probably would not be read to Mir. Vou Jaeow until tomorrow
 Official Washingtou talked of little else than the note today. The practi- cally unanimous approval given it in the editorial comment of the Amer.- can press, the statements of govern ors. senators and members of the house was reinforced by incessaut stream of messages from persons of every political party and from a var iety of organizations and associations.

 The president appeared somewhat relieved of the strain of the last week.
 This was due to the fact that there

 garded the tone and requests of the
 note Tonight the president went away on his yacht, the Mayflower with members of his family for a quiet trip to New York where he vii! review the Atlantic fleet.
