Over Sinking Of the Lusitania and
Other German Acts.

London, May l2, 1925 p. m. Anti
German riots in the East End of London
were renewed this morning with even
greater violence than yesterday. Where
ever German showed himself he was
attacked. The police force has been so
weakened by drafts sent TO the army
that it had difficulty in dealing with the
rioters, and special constab bles had to be
called out.
Anti-German outbreaks OF particular
severity occurred to-day in the neigh
borhood Of the East India docks. SIXTY
or 10 German ships have been wrecked.
Germans in the vicinity united for self
defense and police reinforcements are
being rushed to the scene In conse-
quence OF the riots and the demand for
the segregation of all the alien enemy,
the government has under contempla-
tion more comprehensive measures for
the internment Of such persons.

were unable to control the rioters and
a squad of Territorials was brought TO
the scene and together with the mounted
police gradually restored order.
