ANOTHER BREAK WITH GERMANY Uruguay Has Rupture With Teu- tons on Grounds of Honor Montevideo, Uruguay, Oct. 8.—Uru- guay has severed diplomatic relations with Germany. A presidential de- cree announced the rupture, follow- ing a vote in favor of it by the cham- ber of deputies, 74 to 23. Passports have been sent to the German minis- ter. President Viera in his message to the parliament declared that the Uruguayan government had not re- ceived any direct offense from Ger- many, but that it was necessary to espouse the cause of the defenders of justice, democracy, and small na- tionalities. Uruguay, with other neutrals, has been a sufferer from Germany's U-boat warfare and other actions in disregarding international rights. In mient on April 14, the Montevideo gov- ernmert said it did not recognize Ger- many's unrestricted warfare, and did recognize that the action of the United States in declaring war was a proper answer to Germany's actions. Uruguay, on May 1, sent a note to London and Paris, asking for infor- mation as to the sinking of the Gor- 1zia a Uruguayan ship, and later made a protest to Germany. In May it Jjoined in the suggestion for concerted action by South American countries toward Germany On Septcmber 14 the Uruguayan government, in a ' note to Argentina, approved the action of the Buenos Afres government in handing his passports to Count von Luxburg. At the same time, Uruguay seized the German ships in her har- bors and interned the crews. Several times in the last month there have been anti-German demon- strations. CHURCH CONVENTION NEAR.

PACIFIST THROWN FROM HIS PULPIT Then London Mob éets Fire to Church, Watching it Burn London, Oct. 8.—Wild scenes, in- cluding an attempt to burn down the building, marked the pacifist meeting yesterday at the Brotherhood church, Kingsland Road. The meeting was to have been addressed by Bertrand Rus- sell on the subject of “International Relations,” and that police expected disturbances was evident from the fact there was a force of at least 200 men on duty. Half an hour before the meeting was to begin a large crowd, which in- cluded a number of soldiers, as- sembled in the vicinity of the church. When service began only about fifty persons were in the edifice. The pulpit was occupied by the pastor, the Rev. F. R. Swan, and seated close to him was Russell. The opening hymn was sung without interruption, after which Swan attempted to speak, but was met with a howl of derision, and cries of ‘“you ought to be ashamed of yourself” from some ‘women. Seeing that it was impossible for him to proceed, the Rev. Mr. Swan proposed that a hymn should be sung. The organist began, but immediately was interrupted by strains of*Keep the Home Fires Burning,” which was sung for several minutes and was fol- lowed by cries of “Three cheers for the soldiers!” The din continued for a little while and then the pulpit was Tushed. By this time Russell had disappeared. A soldier made for Swan and threw him into the body of the hall toward a door close to the pulpit through which he vanished. One of the men who had taken possession of the pulpit called for the National Anthem, which was immedi- ately begun, but before the first verse ended a flame shot up beside the pulpit, caught the carpets at the bottom of the pulpit and inside of a minute some of the rails at the back of it caught fire. The fire evidently was caused by petrol. Police dashed into the building and beat out the blaze. All this time the crowds outside had made frantic efforts to get through the police cordons. Subse- quently some of those connected with the meeting were recognized as they left the church and despite the at- tempts of the police to save them were roughly handled. Women formed a considerable portion of the infuriat- ed mob. It was with the utmost dif- ficulty that the police prevented the wrecking of the building. foundry. ina This is the foundry which makes AW/ 0L RRPances They fulfill definitely the va- ried requirements of kitchens large or small, because of the application of these exclusive Crawford features:— A convenient gas end oven, equipped with new and improved gas broiler.
