CARSON The HERO
Battle Of the Boyne Is Cele-
brated at Belfast.
Event Is Marked by Great En-.
thusiasm but No Clash.

Belfast Ireland, July 13.-The insist
ent demand Of the Protestant portion
Of the providence of Ulster for exclu-
sion from the operations of the Irish
Home Rule bill lent added interest to
today's celebration Of the anniversary
of the Battle of Boyne. The celebra-
ton was carried out here with great
enthusiasm.
Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster Union
ist leader. rode at the head Of some
5000 Orangemen, accompanied by the
usual fife and drum bands and includ-
ing sprinkling of brethren from the
United States and the British colonies.
They marched through the city Of Bel
fast to Drumbeerg, where great open
air meeting was addressed by Sir Ed
ward and other leaders.
The Nationalist quarter of Belfast
was carefully avoided by the demon
strants, and on no occasion during the
procession did the rival factions come
into contact. So little did the authori-
ties expect trouble that they depended
entirely on the local police force to keep
order, but all the military we're con-
fined to barracks as is usually the case
! during political demonstrations. A
great crowd of tourists. including many
Americans came to see the procession
and to hear the speeches which were q
prelude to resolutions calling on the
Ulster leaders to take steps they con-
sidered necessary to prevent Ulster
coming under the authority of the
Dublin parliament
| Sir Edward Carson was the hero OF
the day. Buttons bearing his portrait
were worn by nearly every man in the

| Londonderry, July 13.-The Orange
men here began the celebration of the
anniversary of the Battle Of the Boyne
with a cannonade. during which they
projected their explosives so that they
burst over the residences in the Catho-

had taken place While the Orange
men were attending church on Sunday
and the police were busy guarding theiH
professions, the Nationalist volunteers
succeeded in bringing into the city two
automobile loads of rifles.
1t is regarded as significant that in
recent interviews he has given, Sir Ed
ward IS quoted as saying that the only
condition of peace is the exclusion OF
Ulster for the present" while the
more remote action of the Unionists
must. in his opinion. depend upon the
| way the Dublin parliament treats
Protestants in the other provinces OF
ireland.
Thronghout the province OF Ulster
and notably in Londonderry. extensive
precautions were taken by the authori-
ties against possible clashes between
the organized forces of the Protestant
and Catholics.
