Liverpool, Nov. 30.-TWelve cotton
warehouses and several timber yards
were burned in program OF destrEc-
ton in this city, all believed to have
been engineered by the Sim Feiners.

London. Nov. 30.-London and other
big English cities are grimly prepar-
| ing to meet conditions of domestic
warfare.
Red lights on the night barricaoes
| in Whitehall lend sinister aspect to
the official 'heart of the empire
menaced by the twin dangers OF Sinni
Fem outrages and the possibility OF.
Bolshevist disturbances.
General Norwood threw up the de-.
lenses in Downing street and around
| the houses of parliament and other
public buildings as the result OF seiz-
ure Of important documents.
These documents had hardly been
read when the defense of the minis
terial offices was proclaimed, as the
papers disclosed, plans to attack the
/ ministry and wreck historic govern
ment edifices.
There is no reason to doubt that
| the defenses have been erected prl-
marily as protection against Irish
gunner, but they incidentally enable
the police to deal more efficiently
with the grave problems of London's
huge army OF unemployed.
The present arrangement blocks
free access to the residences of Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Bonar Law,
as well as to the foreign Office, the
Indian office, the Board of PUBLIC
| Works and the education office,
| though visitors with satisfactory ere
dentials are allowed to pass, the bar
riers being thrown down only in the
| event OIL d dlldShs
Within the beleaguered area direct
| telephone communication has been es-
tablished with the police and the mill
| tary.
At the Irish Office nearby the door
| is chained, barred and guarded by
| five hall porters, all former soldiers.
| One was in Dublin castle s. the 1915
i rebellion and knows most of the
prominent men who survive it.
