BRITISH PAPER ATTACKS
 METHODS OF GOVERNMENT

LONDON, Aug. 18.-The Man. chester Guardian, one of the most influential journals in England, in a reveiw of recent occurrences in connection with the war, editorially warns the British government that they are antagonizing the United States and losing all standing with America. The crass folly of the governments Irish policy is only equalled by the ridiculous black list and the methods of the censor.
 The Guardian asserts that in all the methods criticized there is not even one redeeming vestige of com mon sense, much less real courage. The Guardian bitterly resents these three policies and says in scathing language that because a few of the prominent members of the govern ment have their actions dictated un- der a nightmare of fear, unreason- ing or unreasonable, it is high time that wiser counsels and more courageous minds took control of the situation.
 The Guardian says that even ig- norance would be preferable to the official cowardice manifested in these wretched panic stricken poli-

 The taller tenement buildings collapsed upon one another ana blocked the narrow alleys between them with stone and lime and other debris. Some of these alleys are said to have been packed by the popula- tion trying to escape when they were caught like rats in trap and that the death list will be enormous.
 The city experienced thirty sue cessive heavy shocks and seismolog- ists declare that this is a record never before heard or.
 The peculiar feature of the dis turbances was that practically each of the shocks differed from the pre-. ceding one, the earth waves taking different directions. This is also the reason of the terrific devastation that the earthquakes caused.
