8 KILLED, SO HURT
IN BELFAST RIOTS
Organized Attempt by Carsonites
to Drive Catholics From North
east Ulster, Starts Civil War.

Belfast, Ireland-Civil war has
broken out here. This is no pictur-
esque exaggeration. The near ap-
proach of crisis In the south and
west owing to Lord Mayor McSweney's Is
hunger strike has 20 engrossed public
attention that the terrible conflict rag
ing in the northeast has escaped the
notice 1t deserves
Already there are homeless and des-
titute more than 1000, of whom one
half belong to Belfast and the rest to
neighboring' towns. Material damage
to the value of over $3,750,00O has
been done, of which at least S2,500,0 900
is In Belfast. Five thousand engineers
and shipwrights have been driven from
the Belfast shipyards and thousands
of other workers are standing idle.
These figures are being added to daily
except in the case Of the shipyard
workers. No further increase is pos
sible in that direction, because Eot a
single Roman Catholic remains to be
driven out.
On Queens Island the purge Is COM
plete and there is peace for the mo-
ment. In other directions the war on
the Catholics Is being Systematically
and ruthlessly pressed The entire
Catholic populations Of Lisburn and
Banbridge, about 1000 in each case,
have been successfully 'evacuated"-
that is the military term universally
employed here-and the Orange army
is now dealing, section by section,
night by night, with Belfast. Two
thousand men, women and children
have been evacuated from Bally-
macarrett district and an attack upon
Catholics Of the 'Crumlin Road district
began according to plan." Eight per-
sons were killed and over so wounded,
many Of the latter being now in hos
pltal in grave condition.
This is no mere faction fight. There
can be no doubt that it Is deliber-
ate and organized attempt, not by any
means the first in history, to drive the
Catholic Irish out of Northeast Ulster,
and the machinery that Is being used
is very largely the machinery of the
Carsonite army of 1914. In the evil
dence it bears of definite objectives
and strategical plan, the rioting differs
from all previous cases in Ulster, and
indeed from any other part of the Unit
ed Kingdom. 1t is a case of civil war
waged by half organized mob.

RATIFICATION
OF SUFFRAGE
Secretary of State Colby Puts
Official Seal on Nineteenth
Amendment.

Observation-Disclosures Colby, Sec
retary of state, signed the proclama-
tion promulgating the Susan B. An
thony woman suffrage resolution as
the nineteenth amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States.
The secretary signed the document
without ostentation at his own home
after official notification from Nash
vile that the legislature Of Tennessee
had ratified as the required thirty
sixth state reached the State Depart
ment. The document was conveyed
Immediately to Secretary Colby. After
it had been examined by Fred K. Neil
son, chief law officer of the State De-
partment, it was returned to Secre-
tary Colby, who, as soon as he had
finished breakfast, established federal
woman suffrage as law.
The lack of pomp and ceremony at
the occasion of the signing was dis
tinct disappointment to some of the
suffrag gists. Leaders Of the National
Woman's party were waiting at the
State Department when the secretary
arrived, hoping to be present to wit
ness the signing. They were met with
the announcement that the proclama-
ton had been signed two hours before.
"The seal of the United States has
been duly affixed to the certificate"
said the secretary, land the suffrage
amendment is now the nineteenth
amendment to the Constitution"
In an official statement explaining
his desire to make the action as simple
as possible Secretary Colby said:
"It was decided not to accompany
this simple ministerial action on my
part with any ceremony or setting.
This secondary aspect Of the subject
has regretfully been the source Of con-
siderable contention as to who shall
participate in it and who shall not.
Inasmuch as l am not interested In
the aftermath of any of the frictions
or collisions which may have been de-
veloped In the long struggle for the
ratification of the amendment, / have
contented myself with the performance
in the simplest manner of the duty de-
volved upon me under the law"
The signing of the proclamation by
Secretary Colby without the ceremony
hoped for by the members of the Ma
tional Woman's party, the militant
branch of the suffrage workers. was
Interpreted here as studied rebuke
to the militants for their picketing.
