A curious effect of the German campaign in the United

States has been the outrages committed by a man of German extraction who had assumed the name of Holt. He used to be Professor of German in Harvard University. On Friday week Holt wrecked the reception-room in the Senate by means of a bomb, and last Saturday he attempted to murder Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, who acts for the British Government in the purchase of supplies from America. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan was wounded in two places by the shots of his assailant, but is, we are glad to say, already out of danger. He seized Holt most pluckily and helped to overcome him. H olt while awaiting his trial in prison committed suicide.
