THE GREAT GENERAL STRIKE IN BRITAIN.

OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT'S REVIEW.

HOW THE STRUGGLE BEGAN AND ENDED.

COUNTRY SAVED AND STRIKERS DEFEATED BY VOLUNTEERS.

Losson, May 4th The English people are always at their best when they are faced with a crisis of the first magnitude. This was the case when the General Strike came upon them, wildenly, like a thief in the night, and delivered a blow at the heart.

At the Old Bailey last month, Ir. Justice Rowlatt, sentenced Hugh Daly (24), who was found guilty of having thrown a bomb at the Hotel Cecil· on St. Patrick's Night, to a year in the second division. Daly, a cellarman at an hotel in Fleet Street, was charged with "casting a certain destructive sub- stance at the Prime Minister and other persons with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and having in his possession divers dangerous things with intent to commit felony." He pleaded not guilty.
