THE FEAR OF SPIES.

BEWARE OF EVERYTHING "MADE IN GERMANY."

London, Ocober 19

The Times, in a leader, says it is evident that neither the Home Olfice

nor the police graped the situation regarding the enemy's aliens that were amongst us. It was a bitter experience for Belgium and France, and warns them to beware of every alien, however innocent he may appear. The racial hatred entertained by the Ger- • mans will become an insane fury, and the presence of aliens an important source of danger, and the public will [ demand more effective measures of protection, which are justified. | The military were summoned to suppress anti-German riots at Deptford. iTwenty-one were arrested, including three women. Crowds assembled before German 'establishments in the West End on Sunday evening. Schuster is indignant at the construction placed upon the seizure of his wireless plant, which was merely used under license from the post office to receive time signals from the Eiffel Tower. The instrument was too insensitive to receive messages from Germany.
