LONDON, Oct. 19. Additional anti-German Hole, taking place today In various suburbs of Lon don, have kept tho troops and the police, on edge. Tho centre of trouble con tinues to be the Deptford district, whero virtually every shop operated by Ger mans or those of German descent has been wrecked and one at least burned. The. rlotlnu has been led by tho clock laborers, many of whom nro out of Tor!c. At Saffron many persons wcro Injured In the llotlns. At Wnlden the mob etormed the home of u lending cotin icllor, who was charged with harboring Germans, and his household goods wcro destroyed, while ho was severely beaten before icscued by police. The chief complaint of tho rioters is that the police have been Inactive In stamping out espionage. Hundreds of letters have been received by tho lead ing newspapers, all complaining tjiat tho Germans were able to keep the Knlscr nd his officials posted on nil movements of British troops; on the progress which was being made by the recruits and of everything that was being done In tho dockyards and arsenals. Denials by high Government oiliclals hnvo been dlsre Earded, and the temper of the mobs Is 5com!nR l"C'-pasIngly bitter. It Is feared ""' '"c "ulH "'" spread to other cities. The immediate cause of the outbreak was th arrival of EGO Belgian refugees In the district. Bands of dock laborers smashed windows, Invaded the shops, wrecking tho Interior and scattering the Jtock in tlie streets. One shop was set afire. In one case the proprietor wn lmrn in i..nir.M.i . ion of a naturalized Englishman, and his wife Is a Belgian. Scores of arrests were mado and pre cautions have been taken to prevent fur ther rlotln today. There were more thnn 30 Englishmen in the batch of prisoners when they wero arraigned todny In Greenwich police court. Tho prosecutor expressed regret at being compelled to proceed against the nlsoners saying theft he realised thai they had been led away by a spirit of public patriotism. However, n consider able amount of T3ritlHh property hnd hcen destroved bv thp rlntpr fiMl ,.inDlrlAKlnn. the extent of the reign of terror, he de cided to nsk that the prisoners be re manded. This was done.

Thereforo I held a revolver at my head, ready to pull the trigger, when my own men drag ged me to the renr under a hall of lead."

Finally n study was made of the stiaugc sign nnd It wns found that a siimII cow slgnillcd that the road was only v. eakly defended; a moderate sized cow meant that the Allies' troops were "n the neighborhood: a large cow was a warning that there were earthworks or trenches near by.
