between the police and strikers develop
ed today, in which at least forty per-
sons were more or less badly injured,
among then Sheriff Mackenzie, Chief
Constable Stevenson, Deputy Constable
Rennie, and a number of policemen.
These were all injured by bottles
thrown by strikers when the police
were clearing the streets in a baton
charge. Two of the strike leaders Will
lam Gallagher and David Kirkwood
were arrested, and later were charged
with melting to riot. Boil We still

disorders, the Riot Act was read and
it was contemplated to invoke military
aid. but the order was cancelled when
GALLAGHER and KirkWood were permit

strikers and exhort them to march off
in orderly procession as nothing more
could be done today. Despite this ad-
vice, however, there were wild scenes
Of disorder, and in various parts of the
city, looting was INDUCED in. One Jew
ellery shop had goods to the value of

pillaged during the coure of the riot.
About "a tram cars were so badly
damaged that they had to be withdrawn
from the service. Matters Quoted down
late in the afternoon, but at night
dense crowds again gathered before
the City Hall. The Police made seve-

Tonight the clashes between the strik-
ers and the police hal ceased, but the
city was in semi-darkness, owing to
the shortage Of electric current. The
rioting today developed with great
suddenness. 1t was due in part to the

swimmers who come ashore"
A Thurso dispatch to the Mail says
the moment the German flagship ran
up the red flag. twenty Of thirty
British destroyers and trawlers were
patroling in and out Of the German
lines. A rush of Germans to the boats
followed the signal but the capacity
of the boats was limited, as their
number was cut down some time ago.
All the Germans wore life belts and
those unable to enter the boats leaped
into the sea without hesitation.
In the meantime guard ships and
several destroyers opened fire on the
boats and the Germans leaped over
board. Then the destroyers, patrol
boats and pinnaces dashed in all di-
rections picking up the Germans from
the water.

of sheep. Leave for the Germans
