URGED CONFISCATION
OF All German Property in the British
Empire.

London, May l5.--The riots which oc.
Cured earlier in the week have given
place to condemnation by public men OF
the German emperor and his advisers,
who are charged with responsibility for
the actions which have aroused public
anger. The amand is made that the
British government publicly proclaim the
responsibility OF members OF the German
government for "the outrages perpetrst-
ed by German officers or their agents dur
ing the present war"
A resolution in this sense was adopted
at public meeting in Chelsea last night
at which Lord Charles Beresford urged
that all German property in the British
empire be confiscated and that all rich
Germans, whether naturalized or not. be
interned until British prisoners in Ger.
many are treated as honorable prisoners
OF war"
Lord Robert Cecil said he had been told
that Emperor William did not approve
OF what had been done, but the speaker
declared that if the German emperor
disapproved and allowed these things TO
go on he was 10 times more guilty and
must be punished; this must be one con-
dition OF any peace.

MEANWHILE ITALY
STAYS IN FERMENT
Renewed Resignation of the
Italian Cabinet Made 1t
Necessary for the King to
Select Giuseppe Marcora
to Form a New Cabinet at
Once

London, May IS, 11:4s a. m.-After
having been deluged by a series of Chi
mericaI crises, the British public is coming
to the belief that Italy has finally reached
a point of momentous decision in the
matter of her relations to the triple al
lance. Early to-day London was in
formed unofficially that Italy week ago
denounced the alliance and when this
step failed to produce further concessions
from Austria there occurred the resigna-
tion of the Italian cabinet. London is
now breathlessly awaiting news from
Rome of the final break.
The note of President Wilson to Ger
many divides editorial attention in the
London papers to-day with the Italian
crisis. There is unanimous qualification
in the press with the contents of the
American communication. The only crit
icism consists of regret that it should
have contained paragraph testifying to
a belief Of GermAny's observance of hu-
name rules Of warfare in the past
London observers are of the opinion
that the Russian situation to-day is per-
ceptibly brighter for the allies, and this
in spite of the fact that it is certain that
the Russians have lost heavily in men
and ammunition. Confidence In the
strength Of the Russian ally of Great
Britain is maintained because Of their
ability to deliver counter stroke, as has
been shown in their successes in east
Galicia and Bukovina. II is claimed that
the Russians have checked the Germans

BODY FOUND HANG
ING FROM LADDER
William Lamson, rs, Of Morrisville Com
mitted Suicide After Being De-
pressed for Some Time.

Morrisville, May l5.- William Lamson
about rs years of age, was found dead in
his barn at 9 o'clock yesterday by Bert
knight, who responded to an alarm on a
horn blown by Mrs. Lamson. The body
of Mr.. Lamson was hanging from lad.

come to breakfast, Mrs. Lamson, who
was unable to 60 to the barn, called for
assistance
Mr.. Lamson had been on the same farm
for many years, his father being there
before him. Recently he sold the farm.
Owing to his lameness, being SO complete
ly crippled with rheumatism, it was with
the utmost difficulty he walked at all,
Mrs. Lanison being obliged to assist him
in dressing.
The cause of his taking his life is at
tributed to his lameness and having been
obliged to dispose of the old home. Fu-
neral services will be held Sunday at his
late home at 2 o'clock.

GERMANS VICTIMS
OF WILD PILLAGE
In Capetown, Great Warehouses Contain
ing Immense Stores of Merchan-
disc Were Burned.

London May l5 $40 a. IN. A Reuter-
dispatch from Capetown Friday says
that the rioting there has been OF most
serious character. Some of the larges!
warehouses on the Strand, containing
immense stores of merchandise belonging
to Germans or supposed Germans, arc
reported to have been systematically
destroyed.
When the work of destruction was
at its height, the flames We're visible
for miles. Big buildings We're simply
set afire and allowed to burn. Goods
found in smaller shops, hotels and offices
were flung out of the windows and made
into bonfres. Strong forces of police
and troops will be held in readiness in
Capetown tonight to prevent further
disturbances. The bars, of clubs and
hotels were closed and citizens have been
warned to remain at home.
Reports from Durham describe the
wholesale sacking of German business
houses, hotels and wool stores, with
damage of considerably over S25000o.
The same tale Of destruction ON large
scale comes from other towns. At Port
90 German establishments
were wrecked. The disturbances at Kim
berley were unprecedented in the annals
of the diamond fields. A significant re-
suit Of the disturbances is that many
prominent Germans have disavowed their
method of warfare.
