Summary

[SUBTITLE]: "Feeling runs high in all parts of London - many shops wrecked and their contents thrown into the street." Scenes of damage and riot in London following the news of the sinking of the ‘Lusitania’. People standing in front of damaged houses and shops. Cart-load of furniture with a policeman standing by. People climbing out of a window and down a ladder into the large crowd below and goods being thrown out of other windows (sacks of flour?).
