LONDON MOB SETS

RaZing Church.

London Oct. ,8-Wild scenes, in
Guiding an attempt to burn down the
building, marked the pacifist meeting
yesterday at the Brotherhood church
Kingsland Road. The meeting was to
have been addressed by Bertrand Rus
sell on the subject of international
Relations" and that police expected
disturbances was evident from the fact
there was a force of at least 200 men
on duty.
Half an hour before the meeting
was to begin a large crowd, which in
Guided number of soldiers, assem-
bled in the vicinity Of the church.
When service began only about so
persons were in the edifice. The pull
pit was occupied by the pastor, the
Rev. f. R. Swan, and seated close to
him was Russell. The opening hymn
was sung without interruption, after
which Swan attempted to speak, but
was met with a howl Of derision, and
cries of You ought to be ashamed of
yourself' from some women.
Seeing that it was impossible for
MIN to proceed, the Rev. Mr.. Swan
proposed that a hymn should be
sung. the organist began, but imme-
diately was interrupted by strains of
Keep the Home Fires. Burning
which was sung for several minutes
and was followed by cries of ..Three
cheers for the soldiers" The din con-
tfnued for little while and then
the pulpit was rushed. By this time
Russell had disappeared. A soldier
made for Swan and threw him into
the body of the hall toward a door
close to the pulpit, through which
he vanished. et35 S g4-s -,;4kai%
one OF the men who had taken pos
session of the pulpit called for the
i National Anthem, which was imme-
diately begun. but before the first
verse ended a flame shot up beside
the pulpit, caught the carpets at the
bottom of the pulpit and inside of a
minute some Of the rails at the bscR
OF 1t caught fire. The fire evidently
was caused by PETROL Police dashed
into the building and beat out the
blaze.

made frantic efforts to get through
the police cordons. subsequently, some

THE WEATHER

New Haven, Oct. S-Forecast:
Unsettled and colder tonight:
partly cloudy.
Connecticut: Light rain and
colder tonight; Tuesday partly
cloudy and colder; gentle north
west to west winds.
For the week: Fair until
Tuesday or Wednesday, then a
short period of showers, followed
by fair weather Friday and Sat-
urdaH Cool weather will con-
tinue until Tuesday or Wednes-
day; seasonable temperatures
thereafter.
A disturbance that is passing
out the St. Lawrence valley is
causing unsettled, showery weather
in the eastern portion of the Lake
region and the northern portion
of New England. An area of very
high pressure is central over Kan
sas and Nebraska. 1T is causing
low temperatures between the
Rocky mountains and the Mis-
sissippi river. Killing frosts were
reported as far as south as Kan
SaS.
Conditions favor for this vi
cinaty partly cloudy weather with
somewhat lower temperature.

Americas Hand To
Viscount Ishii Of
Japan Appreciated

Toxic, Oct. S.-The Cordial recep-
ton given to Viscount Ishii in the
United States caused a favorable i'm
preston throughout Japan and has
called forth appreciative comment.
The semi official Japan Times re-
CARDS the reception as unprecedented
in Japanese experience in its hearty
cordially, honor and respect paid and
in the enthusiasm of its demonstra-
ton. The newspaper adds: THE En-
bassy's journal from Honolulu to
Washington has indeed been veri-

lions.
The hours went by like days, and
at exactly ITO a. m. we had a battle
with two U-boats, which lasted about
s. minutes We were firing steadily,
and at one time, sy zigzagging, were
almost hit by a shell from one of our
own ships. The two wireless men
manned the machine gun, while our
senior operator was stationed at the
kny.
I'VE fired about 800 shots, but finally
had to stop because of the positions of
the other ships. I still have several
shells as a remembrance OF our battse
which 1 will never forget
Reports combined from all our
ships state that one U-boat was sunk
while trying to make a dive"

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause a sick, sour, gassy
stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs. Dyspeptic,
jot this down: Pape's Diapepsin helps
neutralize the excessive acids in the
stomach so your food won't sour and
upset you There never was anything
so safely quick, so certainly effective.
No difference how badly your stomach
is upset you usually get happy relief in
five minutes, but what pleases you
most is that it helps to regulate your
stomach so you can eat your favorite
foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some

are slow, but not sure.
"Pape's Diapepsin'' is positive in neu-
tralizing the 'acidity, so the misery
won't come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as 'tPape's
|Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet, no gases. no belch-
ing, no quotations of undigested food,
Iyour head clears and you feel fine.
Go now make the best investment
lyou ever made, by getting a large fifty
Icent case of Pape's Diapepsin from any
drug store. You lrealize in five min
utes how needless it is to suffer ffom
indigestion, dyspepsia or any stomach
ldisorder due to acid fermentation.
