Fartehr to the south at Arras. the French continue the of- fCnsiye and have made material prog Tess by capturing a number of Ger mans with guns and machine guns

LONDON. May 12.-Never since the war began has such a wave or anti German feeling surged through the country as at the present time. It is due entirely to the sinking of the Lusitania. Worlmen in the indus trial district are refusing to labor alongside men of German birth. whe- ther they are naturalized or not. Many towns and premises occupied by Germans have been stormed or damaged or destroyed Even the ex- changes in London and provincial towns which hitherto have permitted persons of German blood to retain membership are taking drastic steps in barring the doors 10 them. reearl- less Of an considerations. There have been riots in Liverpool Manchester Aalford and Birkenhead
 In Liverpool the Germans have been interned and those who are naturally ed subjects of Great Britain have been advised to go into interior towns or seek intcrnment Many of them have decided upon the latter course. The demand is being made by news papers that an of the 25,OOO Germans still at large be similarly treated.
 This evening deputations from the stock exchange. the Baltic Exchange. Lloyds and the Corn Exchange after meeting of the steps of the Royal Ex- change. marched Co the House of Com mons and presented a petition to the attorney general which called atten- tion to the grave danger that exists by allowing alien enemies to remain at large in the country A public meeting is to be held al the Mansion House on the subject of alien enemies.

Large bodies of police were called out to suppress the disturbance and eventually order was restored but there is apprehension that the trouble will be renewed tomorrow as feeling is rapidly rising. and is being foster ed by the demands of the press, and many public men that demand that drastic measures be taken against the alien-enemy subjects
 At Queens Crescent and Camden town, where an open air recruiting meeting is being held, speakers ad- vised the crowd to refrain from at- tacks on the Germans. The advice was unheededI and directly the meet ing ended the crowd of about five thousand made a move upon all Ger man shops The police were unable to control the rioters and squad of territorials was brought to the scene, and together with the mounted police gradually restored order

THE SYMONDS CASE
BY FRANK FILSON.

The News-Hera1d was the yellow

never yet had a woman in the re-
porters room. He always said il

he wanted. When we came in and
saw little Mary Lesson sitting beside
the city editors desk, therefore, we
rubbed our eyes.

to take her round quite a bit, but

sorry for Baldwin, but l had known
from the first that no one had a
chance with her. 1t was the same
way with Elvers, the news editor. He
pulled away in time. And it wasn't
the girls fault. She was as nice as
could be to all of us. But she simply
didn't care for love-making.

Lack of care of the mouth is pre-

regarded as dangerous.
Aside from the pain and suffering
which these diseases CT the teeth pro-
duce, the possibility of direct infection
must not be overlooked.
So-called blood poisoning and death
have been frequent results from dis.
eased teeth, Some forms of inflam.
matory rheumatism are believed to be
caused by the infection of pyorrhea.

Squeaky Shoes Once Priced.

While conducting a research for in.
formation on the origin of certain
fashions of the past discovered the
reason for the existence of the squeak
in shoes.
The squeak was once deemed fash.
ionable. and men of great importance
in the affairs of the country demanded
it in their footwear. ana conblers were
paid two shillings extra for putting il
in. The squeaky boot denoted the ap-
proach of someone of Importance. and
the way was made clear at once in the
same manner as a bicycles shrill
whistle warns you to look TO your
interests.
During the squeaky period men
found it difficult to sneak into the
house after twelve midnight without
being discovered and diSgraced. Re-
moving the shoes before entering the
home is an invention which followed
the squeaky shoes era. and while the
former is now almost obsolete. the lat.
ter is still in vogue and as popular
as ever with married men,-"Zim" in

THE WAY OF LAWLESSNESS

While the deplorablc tragedy in
which Robert +. Lee was murdered
occurred across the river, in New
Augustine, the sccnn of the crime is
so close to this city as to be iden-
titled with il by the outside world,
and i leaves n stain on the fair
name of the Ancient City.
There has been much complaint
abou. lawlessness in New Augustine
for several years. While there has
been hut little real crime, there has
been suflicint rowdyism to cause UNI
favorable comment. The great ma
jority of the residents of New Angus
tine are peaceful. law-abiding citi-
zens, and they would make their
town an ideal residence district if
their will prevailed. They desire no
unplo asantness and therefore bear
with much annoyance that small
minority imposes upon the commu-
nifty. They do not have to submit
to rowdyism nor to unpleasant con-
ditions of any character. They can
clear their little town of those re-
sponsiblc for lawless acts. In a
small village it is not difficult to
place the blame where il belongs,
and when definite information is OBJ
tainaElc, the rest If the work is
easy. The time has past when
hooilums ruled communities The
people of New Augustine do not have
to stand for it, \ determined effort
is ali that is required 1t will be

carry il through. ciccting the un-
desirable. han to sumbit to continual
row,iyism that will exist as long as
the people tolerate it.

Robert +. Lee. a young man who was

him, yet his life paid the penalty for
the abuse of negro by a gang of

learned, but his story that he was
beaten is borne out by the scars
he carries, and by his misjudged

And on the third morning, when ev-

And on the third morning, when ev.
erybody went about with a copy OF
the News-Herald in his hand, open
at Miss Lessons article:
Guilty? That fellow amt guilty.
Why, there's innocence in his face.
Look at him, Who'd be fool enough
to send box Of poisoned candy like
that? Bought stryehnine? Sure! For
rats They can't and won't prove he
put it into the creams. Anyway, I'm
in favor of giving him a chance for
his life"
They can't prove nothing. No
case" summed up the popular YER
! dict
About all the evidence against
Symonds, in fact, was that he had
been jealous of his rival, and that he
had bought a box of candy at one
store aud some strychnine pellets,
later, at another. And yet, so suscep-
tible is a jury to the atmosphere of a
courtroom, that the man might have
been convicted but for Mary Lessons
articles.
On the day on which the verdict
was to be delivered, old Lyons came
down to see. He patted Mary Lesson
on the arm. We'll win" he whis-
pered. You've done finely, Miss Lee
son. take back all ever said
against woman reporters
Miss Lesson smiled, and went on
writing her last article.
Lyons created something Of stir
in court. The district attorney, in
summing up, turned and faced him
for moment. Where is the missing
girl?' he Numbered to the jury.

shouted. Strike that from the rec
ord"
Well, it was mot guilty" of course.
And yet, in spite Of all the signs Of
an acquittal, which had been sensed
ond day, l was not sure. I saw the
face of the prisoner turn from green
to gray as the foreman pronounced
the words. Then a CHASTITY smile came
over Symonds' face, and he stepped
down, free man.
The jury crowded about him, to go
through the farce of shaking hands.
Il congratulate you, sir said each
man, with beaming smrk of self
cOngratulation upon his perspicacity.
They gathered round him in an avid
cluster till Symonds' counsel pulled
him away.
you had better thank Mr.. Lyons"
he said.
The two men shook hands. 81 was
convinced Of your innocence from
the first, Mr.. Symonds," said Lyons.
And so | brought to bear what little
influence l possess. | hope in return,
that you will let us have an article
on the trial and a personal history
But you must thank Miss Lesson,
whose articles did more for you than
you perhaps realize now
He pulled Miss Mary by the sleeve
and the girl and Symonds stood face
to face. The mans eyes fixed them
selves upon hers in a terrified glare.
Then there was a sensation in the
courtroom. Symonds dropped to the
floor in a dead faint.
And, looking at Mary Lessons ex-
preston, l knew where the missing
girl was, knew that the undying
hatred pictured there was to burn
itself into Symond's brain for ever.
