BELFAST TO CELEBRATE BATTLE
 OF BOVINE ANNIVERSARY

Belfast. July 11-(By The A. P.) On the eve of Listers greatest holiday, the twelfth of July, anniversary of the Bat tie of the Boyne, it's municipal buildings for the first time in recent history are occupied by troops, while contingents of soldiers on the various roads into the city prevents anyone from entering or leaving without search for arms
 This display of force, however seems to weigh lightly with the thousands in Belfast's streets tonight, bent on starting the holiday early, and keen observers say that the precautions taken to forestan a nationalist outbreak far surpass the danger.
 Some of the Ulster leaders, fearing that the Sim Feiners might seize the oc- casion of the Orange holiday to open hos tilities, sent delegation to the cabinet requesting augmentation to the $50 troops stationed here.
 More than 5000 men were sent A few
 military piekets have been stationed in the city, and the others are along the roads outside. Coming from south Ire land today it would be impossible to mis- take the crossing of the boundary into Ulster.
 As always, every household displayed it's Union Jack, some from seemingly in accessible tops of the highest trees in the yard and from the steeple of nearly ev- 1 cry church fioated the same emblem. Bel fast itself is not decorated, except along the line of march where at least 10000 Ulstermen will parade four miles to Fiji naghy to hear speeches and make merry. Seventeen speakers are on the pro- l gramme, with the interest centering on Sir Edward Carson. He has not yet in- timated the exact nature of his address

 IN CONVENTION IN CHICAGO

Chicago, July live must in the future send farmers, railroad men, min CTS, machinists, holders, etc., to con- gress," said Frank J. Esper, national secretary of the labor party of the Unit ed States, in his report to the labor par ty convention opening here this morn ing. Then and only then will we have a government of the people, for the people and by tn pNOple."
 Secretary Esper characterized the Ma zation to assemble those who work with tionai Labor party as a political organi- brain and hand who have been scattered as helpless hinorities in the old parties under the leadership of the confidence mn in big business
 He reported it was necessary for the workers to continue the building of this great political organization so as to wrest the industrial power from the Wall Street pirates and return the political and industrial government to it's rightful own ers-the American people.
 Why should the farmer pay five pric- es for goods made by the city workers?'' he said. Why should the city workers pay s36 for bread-the farmers receiv- ing only $9 for the flour it ,nntains?" struggle, therefore we ask the support
 We realize the imInensity of this of the farmers of the nation. We know their fight is our fight mad our flight is their fight. With this common under standing, we can united at the ballot box and sweep from office those who have usurped the political powers of the pro- ment of the railroads and the banking
 Public ownershi and public manage ducerfs and consumers of our country business were advocated by Secretary Esper as fundamental needs of the so- cial structure.
 When we get that" he said then we can go ahead and do things that should 1 be done in the way of radically reVolu- 1 tionizing both the system of transporta- ! ton charges and the system of banking l loans and costs. For these reasons the labor party has consistently fought for i! the public ownership of the railroads un- der the Plumb plan and the national ownership of banking business
 States organizations of the labor party have been formed in fourteen states, Sec ] retary Esper reported. He enumerated Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania, New York, Connecticut, Michigan Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming i Utah and Nevada.

CAUSE OF ATTACK ON
 POLICE AT LONDONDERRY

Londonderry, Ireland, July 1.-The at tack on the party of police in which Ser geant Mooney was wounded while return ing from the postoffice to the barracks at Dungloe is attributed to an unpleasant experience of three American citizens Michael Eugene. and Mel O'Donnell of New York-brothers. who are now visit ing Donegal The O'Donnells attended a fair at Dungloe a few days ago; and while returning to the residence of friends the same evening met party of police on the road some miles from Dungloe. In passing, policeman coughed, and Mi- chael O'Donnell, in a jocular mood, also coughed. The police resented this and one of them, alleged to have been Ser geant Mooney, struck Michael O'Donnell with rifle. knocking him. down and fracturing his jaw. Michael was carried unconscious by his brothers to- neigh boring house, where it is declared he now lies in a critical condition.
 The news of the assault created indig- nation at Dungloe, according to the re- port, and the following day Mooney was shot by a person stationed in an unoccu- pied house in Dungloe. Whether Mooney will recover from his wounds is consid- cred doubtful.

 PRISONERS OF WAR AT ANTWERP

Antwerp, July 11.-A force of TOO Rus sian prisoners of war who had been in- termed near Turnhout, 25 miles northeast of this city, escaped from. the internment camp last night and marched upon Ant werp. A regiment of cavalry sent in pur- suit of the Russians surrounded them and interned them anew in one of the Ant werp forts.
 The prisoners were part of a contin- gent of 1,100 Russians who were to be re- leased on Saturday for return home. They were informed late in the day however, that owing to failure by Great Britain and the soviet government to reach defi- nite agreement so far with regard to ex- change of nationals they would have to endure further detention. 1ncensed at this, zoo of the prisoners rushed the barbed wire barriers, overpowered the sentries and proceeded in marching order toward Antwerp. The men offered slight resistance, however, when the cavafryn1en i, appeared and rounded them up. No. re- port had been made up to this morning as to the casualties during the incident.

PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN
 GERMAN PREPARATIONS PLAN

Spa, Belgium, July 11-(By the A. P.) The German reparations plan is in three parts. It was submitted to the
 conference with the understanding that it must be accepted as a whole. The plan follows: Part 1.-Section 1: The German gov
 ernment considers that the purpose of the present negotiations is to make a final settlement of their entire obligations off reparations.
 Section ?: The German government, l knowing that it is obliged under the treaty to pay on May l, 1921, 20,00O, ,000,- 1 100 gold marks, considers that it has al- i ready paid not only that sum, but a
 much higher one, according to it's ac- counts
 Section 8: Sets forth that in providing for the future the German government would be unable to fulfill it's obligations unless the German budget can be balanc- of Germany's' ability to pay, owing to ed.
 Section 4: Provides that the measure her weakened economic structure re- quires that she should have necessary food, fodder, fertilizers and other raw materials.
 Section 5 names the principles upon which the German government considers it's payments should be refulated-(a) by annuities (b) annuities to be limited to a certain sum should be agreed upon, 30 years.
 Various other sub-sections affirm thai after the payment of which Germany l should be completely free; that the pay ment of this sum should be arranged in various amounts; that a schedule should be worked gut and that it should not be absolutely regular in character, because it is impossible at the present time ac- curately to estimate the economic posi- tion of Germany for the next thirty years.

HOW GERMANY WOULD
 DEAL WITH PREPARATION

Spa, Belgium, July 11-(By The A. P.) After some hesitation, due to the coal question, the German delegates today
 produced their plan showing how Ger
 many would deal with reparations, but
 they specified that the decision reached
 regarding coal would modify their propo- sals.
 The allied experts had declared-they
 did not consider that even the figures submitted by the Germans would jus
 tify modification of the protocol signed July but admitted the justice of the
 German experts pleas on two points hrst, relieving Germany of the obligation
 of reporting to the reparations commits
 sion regarding the distribution of coal within Germany, and, second, approving
 the proposal to increase the output by improving the food and welfare of the
 miners and suggesting that the German
 and allied governments discuss means to
 this end
 The plenary session of the conference
 began at 5.30 this evening, with Lord Curzon representing Great Britain in stead of Premier Lloyd George who was confined to his room all day with a cold. The conference immediately took up the coal question, the experts having failed to come to an agreement. Chancellor Fehrenbach, Dr. Simons. Herr Shines and others of the German delegation, had previously conferred lengthily on the subject
 pr. Simons, at the outset of the ses- sion, remarked that coal was the central point of the whole economic life of G \
 many. The solution given to the coal
 question by the experts he said, will react upon the different plans of repara- | tions prepared by the German delega- tion, which had understood that an agreement which would take into ac- count the economic conditions judged es- sential to Germany would be arrived at.
 The plans cannot-be handed over this ev- ening, as was expected Premier Millerand expressed surprise that the communication of the German plan as announced yesterday, should be | brought into question and subordinated tion.
 Dr. Simons rejoined that the German delegation had prepared plans that must be studied as a whole to be understood. The German delegation retired to re- consider the matter and on the resump- tion of the session the foreign secretary declared that since the final decision re- garding coal could not be taken until to-
 morrow the German delegation had de- cided to hand over the plans as prepared but he added that the Spa conference had for it's object the substitution of an open discussion by the allied and German delegates for one-sided decisions on va
 rious questions
 The question of coal is question of 1 life or death to the Germans said Dr. ] Simons, and remains the basis for all other plans"
 i Premier Millerand replied that there could be no question of modifying the
 treaty of Versailles on that subject, and 1 that it must be executed
 | Dr. Simons tharerpon handed the rep l arations plan to the general secretary of 1 the conference.

 HENRY OF PRUSSIA

Berlin, July 11.-An almost incredible story of the ill-treatment of the former German emperors brother, Prime Henry of Prussia, by a riotous gang of field laborers, is told by the Ost Pruessische Zeitung. which asserts that it had the information direct from Prince Henry's family circle.
 According to the informant some time ago a gang of sixty men led by private in a Hussar's uniform and wearing a big red rosette, invaded the Hemmelmark estate, Prince Henry's Schleswig- Holstein country seat, on the pretext of searching for hidden arms. The invaders turned the place inside out, but found no arms. Theh the leader said to the prince: Come, Henry" whereupon Prince Henry was made to run the gauntlet suffering in numerable kicks and blows. Afterwards he was locked in a jail at Berckensferde where he was tortured nightly. He was awakened every ten minutes with Get up, Henry; turn on the light Lie down.
