Belfast, July 22.—(United News.) Belfast jis ablaze with the flames of civil war. Past riots dwindle into insignificance beside the wave of partisan hatred that is sweeping over the city, ¢hoking the hospitals and miorgues witn dead and dying, turning the streets into a shambles and the public squares into battle- fields. It is worse than civil war. It ls a pogrom, in which unionists are hunting down their Sinn Fein enemies like rats, driving them in- to corners and beating them into insensibility. There is _ sniping, massed volleying, cold blooded murder, assassination and looting. The situation is the worst in the history of Ireland. The military forces are adding death dealing to the general herror. They have turned their ma- ¢éhine guns on the mobs in an at- tempt—vain up to the present time —to check the hideous slaughter. | but it goes on without abatement because*no machine guns can quell the grim spirit of the mobs. Turned loose twenty-four hours ago and growifig more intense as every hour passes, the situation has gone too far for the treops now on hand to deal with; in fact, it has reached @ stage where nobody knows when ‘or how it may be checked. At Least 12 Men Killed. At least twelve men have been done to death. Some of them have been shot, some of them have been beaten, some of them have been crushed to death. Hundreds more are in the hospitals. Hundreds be- sides dre cowering in their homes with wounds. This was the situation that re- sulted in part from the knowledge that came to Orangemen that the Sinn Fein had issued orders to in- tensify the guerrilla warfare that has.been carried on in Ireland for the last four months. The murders and assassinations in the south of Jreland are reaping a whirlwind of retribution in the north. There was sporadic fighting dur- “Img the day Thursday, which grew - more bitter and more general as darkness came. But just before mid- night the entire city seemed to burst into a blaze of horror. The looting of shops on a huge, though disorganized scale, added to the chaos, the battle spread into parts of the city which had hitherto been free from rioting. Groups of unionists. armed with every con- ceivable weapon, organized to hunt down Sinn Feiners, and _ carried their search into the very homes of en. Those who escaped _@eath were fortunate. + More than 180 shops have been Jeoted since the fighting began. “This, incidentally, is but one indi- ‘cation of the ugly mob spirit and thes nothing to do with the political es which have brought about struggle. But it does show the mood of the combatants.. *The government is said to be _gending reinforcements to Belfast— but it will be too late, it is feared. : Sinn Fein Pushes Fight. ) It became known today that the L an Fein leaders had issued orders , | te intensify the attacks upon mili- ‘ cosa and police throughout Ireland. | es of these orders were discov- d on a Sinn Feiner who was cap- ~ turea Thursday.

Hinshaw, chairman of the national committee said today. Senator Harding “will receive no support from prohibitionists be- cause he did not promise to use his veto power over any bill re- pealing the enforcement act,” said Mr. Hinshaw. “On the contrary, he seems to invite such a repeal. His attitude seems entirely unsgatis- factory.” A telegram from Will H. Hays, received today in reply to a query sent by Virgil G. Hinshaw, nation- al committee chairman of the pro- hibition party, states that the pro- posed “law and order plank” in the republican platform was stficken out by.the platform subcommittee in Chicago as “meaningless” and Was never presented to the full platform committee nor to the.con- vention. In his telegram Mr. Hays said athe subcommittee considered the supreme court’s decision as to the | constitutionality of the Volstead act rendered a dry plank unneces- Bary and the law and order plank superfluous. Therefore, he said, It was omitted from the platform. The telegram added that “of course ‘the republican platform stood for law enfcreement, and that fact was made clear by the first plank ‘of the republican platform,” declaring for constitutional govern- ment. A reply to the telegtam is being’ drafted by the executive committee of the prohibition party. WOMAN'S PARTY NOT SATISFIBO. Marion, Ohio, July 22,—Repre- sentatives of the national woman’s party who called on Senator Har- ding today for aid in completing ratification of the suffrage amend- ment, announced tonight that they were not satisfied with his reply and would continue their demand that he take more direct action. “Suffragists can feel only dissat- isfaction,* said Alice Paul, head of the party, “with Senator Harding's refusal today in his reply to the woman’s party delegation, and in his acceptance speech, to take a positive stand for the carrying oyt of the suffrage plank in'the repub- lican platform. “If Senator Harding -refuses to live up to the suffrage plank and contents himself .with ‘earnestly hoping’ and ‘sincerely desiring’ how can he expect the country to take seriously the other planks in his platform. “The national woman’s party will continue to demand that Senator Hardihg carry out his platform by securing a unanimous vote in sup- port of ratification from the re- publican delegation in the Tennes- gee legislature when it meets next month.” WILLIAM K.

Urges Extension of Or- der. Charging that the coal shortage which faces Atlanta and Georgia is caused by profiteering among the mine operators who are producing coal for less than $3 per ton and selling it to dealers at the mine for $10 and over, J. W. Austin, assist- ant fair price commissioner for Georgia, appealed to the directors of the chamber of commerce Thurs- day to take immediate steps to re- lieve the situation. The, chamber went into executive session following the open meeting and it was announced afterward that. immediate action “would be taken along the lines suggested by Mr. Austin. Mr. Austin urged the chamber to bring pressure to, bear to have yervice ofder No. 7 ofthe inter- state commerce commission extend- ed sixty days longer, to hav@ a maximum price for coal fixed at the mines and to stop the shipment of coal to northern and eastern points from mines supplying this section. The meeting of the directors was called: after President E.. R. Black received: a letter from Mr. Austin outlining the situation both locally and in the state at large. Prior to the meeting a very exhaustive investigation was made by Assist- ant Secfetary D. C. Lawhon, who used every means at his. power to gather figures upon which to base a campaign for the alleviation of existing’ conditions, ef ‘The Three Catses. Representatives of the depart- ment of justice, coal dealers, rail- road men and others were present and nearly all of these claimed that three things were responsible for the present. situation—labor troue bles, shortage of coal and profiteer- ing at the mines. “Coal has reached the highest level it has ever reached in peace times,” stated Mr. Austin. “The highest price under the fuel ad- ministration was $9.75. There are different opinions advanced for the present high price, but my infor- mation leads me to believe that the Breatest trouble lies with the mine operators, who are producing coal for less than $3 per ton and selling it to dealers for $10 and up. “Over three quarters of a million tons of the coal which has been coming. to this territory has been diverted to northern and eastern points because of the purchase of mines in the Harlan field by manu- facturing. interests. Our dealers are also having t6 bid at the mines for coal against dealers and interests from. the New England states and the jake region. The normal ship- mMefits to the lake region for this time of the year are over five and one-half millions short and every effort is being made to get all the coal. obtainable to lake ports before cold weather sets in.

I have a telegram from How- ard Figg, assistane attorney gen- eral, who states that the present price of production of coal is very little- in excess of that of one or two years ago. Asked by President Black what idéas he had with regard to han- Stef: the situation, Mr. Austin re- “I believe that pressure should be h: | brought to bear to have the inter- _| state commerce commission extend its order No. 7 for at least/ sixty days from the expiration of the sent time, which is August at order provides of coal cars to this country and also places a pena on all dealers who do not unl their cars promptly.

WILSON LEAGUE PLAN CALLED UNTHINKABLE G. O. P. Nominee Also Demands‘Government'‘by Party Rather Than by Individuals— Thousands Cheered the Acceptance Speech of Harding. Marion, Ohio, July 22.—Peace by a resolution of congress, and after that an effort to form an associa- tion of nations that would not im- pair American sovereignty were promised today by Warren G. Harding in his speech accepting the republican nomination for the pres- idency. Senator Harding declared the time had come to recognize “the faifure attending assumption, ob- stinacy, impracticability and delay” in President Wilson’s attempt to ‘orm a league of nations, and that a new pathway must péace and world concert. In-receiving formally. his party's mandate, the nominee also declared for government by party, rather than by individuals, asserted fail- Way employees might well be ac- corded a status of public servants, indorsed co-operative ee pyres,” tay farmers, and prenounced increfsed production the key to a ‘lower cost of living. The address, constituting the can- didate’s personal platform in the campaign, was delivered here at the climax of a day of célebration, which brought to Marion a notable company of party chiefs and a crowd of many thousands. plaudits and serenading Kept the nominee the center of a seven-hour reception as delegations from many states paraded past the Harding residence in a clamoring cavalcade. Soon after sun-up, the the first delegations brought the senator to his front doorstep, and after that there scarcely was a let- up until he left for the notification ceremonies on the outskirts of the city at 2 o’clock. ‘ Old friends from nearby counties mixed with the rep- resentatives of powerful republican clubs of distant cities in the pro- cession, gay with decorations and blatant with noise. At the chautauqua pavilion where the notification took place, seats had been provided for 4,000, and many times that number surged about the park and _ surrounding fields, unable to get within earshot of the speakers. The pronounce- ments of the candidate were re- seived with a tumult of applause, and he was cheered back to his home through crowded streets, a tired, but smiling, man. Will H. Hays, the national chair- man, presided at the’ and Senator Lodge, of Massachu- setts, who was chairman of the Chicago convention, formally noti- fied the candidate of his nomination in a speech, rapping President Wil- son's league of nations and prais- ing the part Senator Harding had taken in preventing its unreserved acceptance. Speaking slowly and with:.a char- acteristic gravity, the nominee de- livered his declamation of policy in -aclear, full voice, that penertated far into the crowded outskirts of the pavilion. Points he wished to drive home with particular rorce ne em- phasized by aggressive gestures, and several times he got the crowd on its feet cheering as he hammered, with clinched fist, to empnaasize his points. His thrusts at the league of na- tions were answered by repeated thunderclaps of cheerimg, but the passage the crowd seemed to like best came almost at the end of the hour and a half of speaking. when he voiced his humanity, in the pres- ‘ence of the responsibilities of the presidency and then, squaring his broad shoulders, added that his con- fidencein the support ofhis fellow- citizens made him “wholly un- afraid.” ia tat Wilsén League “Unthinkable.” In his discussion of the league he made no direct recommendation. for rejection of the peace treaty, and did not take up detail the league covenant.

Paris, July 22.—The allies have decided to take measures preparato- ry to giving military aid to Polamd, if that should prove necessary, it was learned here today. A French mission, headed by Jules J. Jusserand, French ambassador to the United States, who is home on leave of absence with General Wey- gand, right-hand man of Marshal Foch, and M. Vignon, a close collab- orator with Premier Millerand, will leave toinight for Warsaw to ar- range for prompt succor to the Poles. On the same train and with the same object, there will -be a Britisa mission headed by Lord -Abernon, Britisn ambassador at Berlin; Gen- eral Raacliffe 14nd Maurice Hankey. These missions, it is learned, leave with full authority to say to the Poles that whatever ald is needed, whether military, or financial, or in the nature of supplies, will be forth- coming if the bolsheviki persist in a design to march into aistinctively Polish territory. It is stated unofficially, but on gy authgrity, that this means heip or they are required. Already a large number of allied officers and subalterns are with the Polish army, which, it is declared, will be increased according to cir- cumstances with as many divisions of infantry. tank detachments, air forces afid artillery as- may bs transported in due tirfle. Warsaw Seriously Menaced. Warsaw, July 22.—The menace to the Polish capital is becoming seri- ous through the defeat of the left wing of the Polish army Since the attacks of the bolsheviki 2gainst Vilna on July 14, the Polish left, or northern wing, has been compelled to hasten. its retreat and the bolsheviki have been féllowing it- with a daily advance averagife 15 miles.

Atlanta Tenders Armory Quarters As Soldier Club Article in Constitution on Recreation Situation for Service Men Here Brings Splendid Response. Several rooms on the second floor of the city Auditorium were offered yesterddy as a gathering place and recreation center for enlisted men of Atlanta camps, following the publication of an article published in Thursday’s Constitution empha- siing the apparent tacx of public interest in recreation facilities for service men in Atlanta, The offer was made through Councilman R, A. Gordon, of the fourth ward. @fhairfman of the Auditorium com- mittee, Officers at the camps received many inquiries Thursday concern- ing the situation, the queries indi- cating a deep desire on the part of Atilantans to do their full share in caring for the soldiérs who make up the city’s present military pop- ulation. ‘Those ifterested are of the opinion that Atlanta has been in ignorance of the true situation and that the only need was appris- al ef the condition, as wag given stitution. Gorfon’s Offer. Tre offer of Mr. Gordon on be- half of the city was met with ex- pressions of gratitude by Colone! Paul O. Franson, educational and recreational officer of Camp Gor- don, and others who have been active in promotion of plans for the enlisted men’s center, and a preliminary trip of inspection was made to the Auditorium by a group of officers Thursday afternoon. General David Shanks, commander of Camp Gordon, has given his in- dorsement to the plan and will leady a committee which will inspect the Auditorium quarters Friday with a view to ascertaining the cost of fitting the rooms for the purposes intended. In discussing the probability of acceptance of Mr. Gordon’s proposi- tion, Colonel Franson said Thurs- day night that “the offer is one that we all appreciate immensely as true indication of the feeling of -Atlantans evinced as soon as they were acquainted with the situation.” “While no decision has _ been made,” he added, “the quarters at the Auditorium should be most ad- vantageous for our needs. “The kind offer through Mr. Gor- don will free us of rental, light and water charges. which would have been the chief expenses of. keeping up a place we might have rented ‘of our own.’ Then, too, we could not have chosen a place better lo- cated, as a place of this sort must be centrally located to give fullest benefits.” Old Fifth Quarters. The rooms which have been ten- dered the soldiers, in absence of ther such provisions for them in he city, are those formerly occt- pied by the fambdus old Fifth Geor- gia regiment, which has been dis- banded, and which used the quarters in the Auditorium as a garrison in the days just prior to and during the stars of the world war. It is be- lieved that the rooms may be fit- ted up as reading, writing and gen- eral recreation rooms without.much expense. Another feature which shows the interest which has been aroused in the problem of providing an enter- tainment place for soldiersWisiting the city “on pass” is the fact that Thursday morning officials of the ¥. M. C. A, delivered to the army aut ies an invitation to use ot- the accommodations in their build- ing om Luckie street. This offer includes the mse of reading rooms, Zymnasium, swimming pool and billiard remos, and is in the form of a general invitation to the sol- diery im Atlanta.
