MARTIAL LAW RULES
IN VICTORIA AFTER
ANTI-GERMAN RIOTS

VICTORIA, B. c., May 10.-Martial
law was in effect in this city today
following violence and anti-German
rioting OF the last two night. All citi-
zens were ordered to remain in their
houses tonight after dark, when it
was feared their would be another out
break against residents of German
birth. Intense excitement prevailed in
all parts of Victoria. Mayor Stewart
requested that troops he sent from
Vancouver.
Among the business places wrecked
before soldiers and police dispersed
the mob were the Phoenix brewery
New England hotel, Kilberger's store,
Hammond Clothing house, Schater L.
Glass tailor shop and the DIGGER
plumbing shop.
Police and infantrymen were guard
ing the homes and business houses of
other Germans today.

What does the country Think" is
the question most eagerly asked in
Washington today.
Most officials believe that the ma
ton demands the most drastic action
possible short of war. There is no
strong element in Washington today
which believes the country wants war
unless this contingency is inevitable.
kilograms and letters are pouring in
upon the White House in ever increas-
ing volume. 1t is stated that most of
them are against war, although advis-
ing strong and drastic action.
Course of Action.
Should Germany refuse to abandon
her present policy of submarine war
fare the United States. it is believed
in many circles, will take the follow
ing action:
Hand Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, his passport and or
der Dr. Burnberg, publicity agent, out
of the country.
Tell the German government in the
most direct way possible that the
United States can not live in friend
ship with a nation that has revived
the practices of piracy, and sever di-
plomatic relations.
The next step will be up to Ger
many, according to this theory fore
casting the presidents action.
1t is expected that whatever action
the President takes will not be long
delayed for he is fully aware of the un-
favorable effect on opinion of allow
ing the matter to drag on unless there
is good reason for doing so.
