 BELFAST, July 12-Celebration of Orangemen's day had as it's feature the customary parade, and in addition a notable speech by Sir Edward Car son, Ulster Unionist leader, whose pronouEcement on the Irish situation was looked forward to eagerly.
 Sir Edward, as usual, came up Co expectations. He minced no words and the enthusiasm reached a climax when he declared, in effect, that the govern ment had failed to govern Ireland and that if it could not protect Ulster, the volunteers would reorganize and Ulster would take the matter in it's own hands
 Celebration Passes Quietly
 Every hamlet, village and town in Ulster had a celebration and reports tonight are that all passed quietly, even in Londonderry, where the two factions are represented as ready to renew the fighting should military forces relax.
 Belfast was heavily guarded by soI- diers but the only troops allowed out of barracks were those on duty.
 Those people in England who hoped that a conciliatory note might be struck in the celebration will be dis appointed There was nothing con- ciliatory about it, from the inscrip- tions on the banners across the streets denouncing the Sim Fein, to fir Ed ward Carsons declaration that the people of the south would. of their own volition, have to hang those guilty of political murders before Ulster would even consider union, which the spon- sors of the home rule bill have said they hoped for
 The parade, which, it is estimated, numbered 25.000, was unique in the va riety of music and it's banners. There was a band to every half block. Tho banners were gorgeous silken affairs on which were painted scenes depicting Listers history.
 Rain and wind threatened to destroy these banners but the return march from Finaghy park, where the cere- monies were held, was made in beauti- full weather
 Rev. George Simon, supreme head of the Orange order in the United States, who is here with a few other Ameri cans for the triennial session of the Imperial Grand Orange Council of the World, speaking at the park, said:
 ''It is said that 3,000.0OO Irish are going ito shake the British empire. Well. we have 10,00O,000 Irish in America and they are not going to shake the American republic.
 Says England Fails To Govern
 Sir Edward Carson charged the Brit ish government with failure to govern Ireland. He declared if the British could not handle the situation in south Ireland they should turn it over to some one who could. He warned the government if it did not accept the help Ulster offered i've will take matters into our own hands,"
 Discussing conditions in Ireland. he said:
 "I read daily Of the whole govern ment in some place being taken over by the Sim Feiners. I read of county councils swearing allegiance to the Irish republic. l want to ask what the government is doing with the county councils. My opinion is that such councils ought to be dissolved. I read daily of the Sim Fein police talk ing part in the government of various towns
 If the British government is unable to deal with these matters, it ought to ask somebody else. It is an ignomin- ious thing for the loyal subjects to be compelled to admit the authority of those protesting to act in the name of the so-called Irish republic. Yet to my knowledge, there are men in south and west Ireland whO ostensibly at least, have been obliged to throw in their lot with these Sim Feiners to save their persons and property.
 Says Ulster To Be Battlesround
 We know well that the real battle- field in Ireland in relation to a republic will be Ulster We know well that their one ambition is to penetrate Ul- ster and take possession there as else where. Do not let us close our eyes to the realities of the situation, whatever the consequences.
 Never will we enter into negotia- tions with the Sim Bein until by their own volition they have brought to the scaffold the men who are giving our country the reputation of being a coun- try of criminals and assassins."
 Sir Edward warned the government that, as it had refused Listers re- peatedly proffered help and because Of it's inability to protect Ulster against machinations of the Sim F'ein,' we-will reorganize in our own defense the vol unteers who lent you such splendid help to maintain the empire during the war;
 He added:
 But one thing We won't submit to is that we should be left helpless in the face of our enemies, and we tell the government that, come what will, in the last resort we will rely upon ourselves and under God We will defend our selves"
