QUELL ULSTER RIOT
RIVAL VOLUNTEERS DISPERSED
BY TROOPS AFTER BATTLE.
Order Restored After Many Have
Been Hurt - Demonstration
Near at Belfast.

Omagah, Tyrone, Ireland, July L.
The Obstetrics and nationalist volun-
teers clashed here and fierce engage
ment lasting several hours followed,
in which several policemen and CIV
ilians were injured, besides many Of
the contestants.
The constabulary was called out
and finally put the fighters to rout by
a series Of charges In which their
clubs were swung with great effect on
the heads of the rival volunteers.
Belfast, July With the critical
situation which developed today, the
Ulster agitation again approaches 3
climax. The Ulster volunteers have
thrown off the mask and for the first
time appeared on the streets fully
equipped for war.
Two men thus armed were stopped
by the police and warned that they
would be summoned for carrying arms
without a license. Apparently this
was only a matter of form, for none
of the many other rifle carriers have
been molested.
Gen. Sir George. Richardson, COM
mander-in-chief Of the volunteers, it is
stated, Is about to issue general or
der, permitting all his men to appear
fully armed on the main streets of
this city.
This means that 10000 volunteers
will dominate Belfast. They will
greatly outnumber the police and the
regular soldiers combined, and be able
to isolate the city from outside help.
1t is said that in event of a yolln-
teer demonstration, the police and reg
ular soldiers will be Withdrawn, leay-
ing Belfast entirely in the hands Of
the Ulster rebels.

THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1914.

The suggestion that Kenosha do as
other cities are doing and reclaim land
from the lake for big lake front
park is sure to be received with favor
by many of the people Of the city. 1t
is possible that permission to fill in
be received from the secretary of war,
but there is no apparent reason why
Kenosha should not be granted the
same privileges along that line as are
freely accorded to other cities. This
plan is open to the same objection that
has been advanced to every other sug
gestion that has been made to extend
the park system Of the city, namely,
that Kenosha has no money at present
available for such purpose; but it is
possible that when the details of the
plan are worked out and some figures
as to the actual cost Of such a park
are obtainable, the people might be
willing to vote bond issue. More
and more the people are coming to
regard parks not as Injuries for the
few, but as necessities for the many
and to appreciate the benefits that
would accrue to all by the extension
of the park system. The time is com
ing when the people of Kenosha will
be willing and anxious to raise any rea
sonable amount of money for that pur
pose, either by bond issues or by di
rect taxation, and this lake front park
plan gives a good opportunity to test
public sentiment PROFESSIONALLY the
sentiment in favor of parks and play
grounds for all sections of the city is
growing, but the rapid increase in the
population of the city with the result
tant demands on the taxpayers for
public improvements of all kinds has
left the city treasury in such shape
that money for any improvements odt
of the ordinary run must be raised by
bond issues. It seems certain that if
the city waits to raise money for the
extension of its park system by any
other means than by bond issue that
the wait viii be a long one and the
question is "Can Kenosha afford to
waltz Would not the use of the
parks more than compensate the peo-
pie for any interest paid on bonds9

all the Canadian projects then it will
clearly be in the interest of the Unit
ed States to enlarge the Erie Canal
as suggested.
The rational natural plan, how
ever, is the one that uses nature s
water courses in the Improvement of
which enough power could be gen
Grated to yield a great revenue upon
the original cost A conservative es-
innate of the potential energy which
could be developed by improving the
st. Lawrence from Lake Ontario to
Montreal is four million horse power.
This power could be sold for at least
fifteen million dollars, which would
mean a five per cent return on a three
hundred million dollar investment.
elf we do not construct this great
waterway, not only in our interest, but
in the interest Of our children, Canada
will do it. She will construct it on
her own territory which will defect
our trade over Canadian rails, to be
loaded into Canadian boats and rout-
ed for Canadian markets. She will for
tify her Canal, compelling US to for
tify our end and the imaginery boun-
Diary will bristle with the guns of
two great nations. A joint control
and joint building of the Canal will
mean an everlasting peace between
our two peoples
