A BERLIN LIE
The following (says ihe "Daily Mail' , ).is the latest Berlin lie:--.
During the whole of January the strikes m England have led to numerous riots and scenes in the streets. Hardly a day passed without the crowd coming into conflict with the police in English towns. Concerning ono of these riots, which took place in London on January 17, and which is typical of the state of affairs in England, our Amsterdam correspondent gives fiio following details':—-
, "On January 17, at 3 p.m., there was a conflict between the police and the crowd, in. which the police' had the worst of it and' were put to flight. Then a detachment of Scotch recruits who were in barracks at Shepherd Bush were summoned to their assistance. When they reached Oxford Street, where the principal fighting between the crowd and the police took place, and the soldiers were ordered to lire, the majority of them refused, and about 80 men were arrested and taken to the prison of Old Bailey. At Selfridge's great shop in Oxford Street all the windows were broken in die riot. In the evening there were other tumults near Threadneedle Street."
