RIOTERS BURN HOSPITAL
Nationalists Driven From Homes as
Anti-Cathclic Terror Spreads

Nati0naliStS Driven From homes as
Anti-Cathclic Terror Spreads
Belfast, July 26.-The Unionist
terror against Catholics is spreading
last night throughout counties An
trim and Down.
At Bangor lin the northeast cor
ner of the County Down the hos
pital for consumptives. established by
Joseph Devlin, the Nationalist leader.
was burned down today by mob
which also wrecked a number of
homes of Nationalists.
Refugees were leaving all night
whole families fleeing, taking with
them only the clothes on their backs.
At Newtonards the rioting became
so violent that the military was call
ed out to quell it.
Unionist volunteers have been sum-
moned to appear at their respective
quarters tomorrow night. Hitherto the
British government has invariably
taken prompt action against the Sim
Feineys. and the question now arises
whether it will act similarly against
the Unonists.
Gen. Hackett Paine, Carsonlte
general before the war, is now chief
of police for the Province of Ulster
Catholics will present themselves for
work at the shpyards tomorrow and
fresh riots are looked for.

ALWAYS ARE FIGHTING
u. S. Devil Dogs Have Real War
Without an End.
Main Fighting Just Now Is ia Haiti
Also Ready in China
Wonderful Life.

Neutrality-suspicious. Uncle Sans ma
rlnes the fighting is never at an end.
While the great war and their part
IN it is history, they still are busy in
the far corners of the world settling
small disturbances, guarding govern
ment property and awaiting any even
tuality.
In Haiti and San Domingo nearly
1000 Devil Dogs" as the Germans
came to call them after Belleau wood,
are maintaining order and bringing
recaicitrant bands to justice. 1t is
not a play" job by any means and
at times lately it has assumed the
proportions of real war. Casualty lists
are not lacking and almost every week
there come to headquarters here the
names of 'leathcrnecks" killed or
wounded in clashes with bandits and
revolutionaries.
In China the legation guard of 275
marines at Picking is ever prepared for
any emergency and for a time recent
~ it appeared that they would be
forced into action against Chinese rev.
olutionists who We're threatening to
attack the Chinese capital.
In Nicaragua another legation guard
is maintained, while the marines are
aboard American warships in Mexican
waters prepared on short notice to pro-
tect American lives and property
should their services be required.
In Haiti, the corps is represented by
LOO officers and men in two small
regiments comprising the First pro-
visional brigade. The brigade is COM
manded by Col. j. II. Russell and the
two regiments by Coils. l.. NJ. Little
and Il. Q. Berkeley. OF late condi-
tons in Haiti have quoted down to
some extent and although skirmishes
with bandits are still a common oc-
currence it is said at headquarters
that the marines have the situation
well in hand"
In San Domingo an ever greater
force of SOldier-sailOrs are on duty.
Here 1900 marines. organized into
three regiments, form the Second pro-
visional brigade, commanded by Brig.
Gen. Logan Feland. In the northern
part Of the island the Fourth regiment.
under Col. Dion Williams, is taking
things easy, but in the south the Eff
teenth regiment is in the field in small
d~etachmentS, chasing bandits and out
laws n quite often getting a smell
of ~gunpOWder.

PERIL IN DREDGING WORK
Deepening of East River at New

dangers facing the men who are
dredging the East river to Long Is

How this undertaking, which will re-
Quire 10 to 20 years and I'm eypendi-
ture of So, 100000 TO S75.OOO,OOO. is
being carried on was told here by Off
Gals Of the dredging company which
is doing the work.
THE work must be done during the
slack water period at the change of
tides, and. as there is generally from
800 to 1000 pounds of dynamite
aboard each drill boat, the danger Of
being rammed by passing craft and
sent to the bottom is complicated with
the possibility of being blown into the
air." one official said.
I'm Hell gate we are demolishing

800 feet. From eighG to ten months
will be required TO complete this task.
The longest slack water period reg
istered in He'll gate during the last 40
years was % minutes. 1t is within
that slack period that drilling points
must be located, charges planted and
fired and the position of the plant

that they work but half an hour in a

DR., {. T | ADD
ALL WOOL and
4 YARD WIDE
Nonpartisan Candidate For
U. S. Senator Proves
Coventry Blue,

DR.. Edwin T. Ladd, president of the
North Dakota Agricultural college, ad-
vises Flickertail farmers to hold their
wheat for $3.50 per pushel at the ele-
vator. If a majority Of North Dakota
wheat growers fail to adopt this plan,
according TO the educator, they will
lose money on this years crop.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
Or. Ladd knows more about wheat
and kindred crops grown in this part
of the country, than any other public
man in the northwest. NJ addition to
understanding the production end of
the industry, he is also thoroughly con-
versant with market conditions and
all the shady, shystering schemes
adopted Ivy the grain combine to de-
fraud and swindle farmers.
DR.. Ladd accepts the figure $3.50 not
because it satisfies him. but on ac-
count of the fact that the United
States department of agriculture has
made a deep study of wheat growing
and decided farmers must have &
minimum price of $2.65, if they are
to receive a reasonable profit for their
work. The president e the agricul-
tural college believes a half a loaf is
better than nothing at all.
DIR. Ladd did not publicly advise
farmers to hold their wheat for $2.65
he had weighed MI angles of the
proposition and was fairly certain of
ground. Every wheat grower in
this section should accept his counsel.
L.add Is n American educator
who has consistently shown himself
to he the farmers true-blue friend.

KINGS GARDENERS STRIKE.
(By the Federated Press. by Mail, via
New York Bureau)

New DIX bureau)
London.-King Georges hollyhocks
spring onions and cucumbers in the
royal gardens at Windsor castle are in
q bad way, because Sir David Shackel-
ton. of the ministry of labor. has de-
cided that the king cannot go to arbi-
tration on a wage dispute with his or
ganiZed gardeners.
Sir David was once a leader in the
British Trade Union congress, due to
his position as general secretary of the
weavers. His present job includes that
of lord privy purse. To the lord privy
purse tie gardeners appealed. The
king was understood to be willing to
arbitrate, but Sir David remembered
the ancient adage that "the king a
do no wrong Hence, he decided, the
king must not arbitrate his w view
as to what is a fair wage.
Much profanity in the royal gardens
has resulted.
