MUCH RIOTING
IN CITY OF BELFAST
Firing BY Republicans at Police Patrols
Starts Widespread Fighting
Many Persons Killed.

BELFAST. July IL (Associated
PreSs) .-Rioting broke out in Belfast
Saturday night. and. continuing through
out the day became 50 serious Yesterday
afternoon that the military had to be
summoned to restore order. At 10 O'Clock
last night the casualty lists showed that
Il persons had been killed and 100
wounded.
According to police accounts, the fir
ing at patrols by Republicans at the Cu'-
few hour precipitated the outbreak. After
the first OutburSt the shooting was al
most continuous in the Falls district. AS
daybreak came on the tide of battle eX-
tended down the Falls road until 1t
reached TownShend street, which then
became the center of sharp rioting, with
the UniOniSts for the first time entering
the fray.
The Carrickhin and MiIlfeld areas,
Nationalist stronghOlds, next became af-
fected. The firing here was intense. al
ternating with the screams of the crowds
as they scurried hurriedly away.
As groups of Orangemen marched four
deep along Royal avenue from a service
in Ulster hall yesterday afternoon there
were scenes of excitement, the Orange
men shouting defiance as they passed
streets down which bullets were flying.
Police rifles began to come into action
and crowd on street corner cheered
wildly when one of the shots brought
down a man with a gun.
Ballymacarret, the city'S eastern sub
urb. caught the riot infection and, gen
orally, the spirit of truce was the last
thing to be observed in Belfast.
Late yesterday afternoon armOred cars
Numbered along the avenue, cheered by
the UnionistS. At North street the oc
cupants tumbled out and. lying flat on
the pavement, opened fire. Orangemen
from Shankhill road. which is a continue
ton oS North street. lined up with the
police. and began shooting from that side
on the Republican forces in Millfeld,
who found themselves between two fires.
Early in the morning a number of fires
were discovered in the affected area. In
one street five houses were found in
flames.
All over Ulster church parades were
held yesterday preliminary to the 18th
of July demonstrations.
One constable was shot dead and two
members of the force were badly wounded
when a party of the police was ambushed
just before midnight Saturday night on
the Falls Road The firing in this area
was almost continuous during the night
and yesterday.
Passengers on the tram cars yesterday
were forced to crouch below the level of
the windows to insure their safety
against the flying bullets.

L. 6. Sets Definite Course.

WASHINGTON, July II. = The
course of the United States was definite

the Pacific and Far East. President
Harding. it was related in a state de-

definite inquiry the governments OF Great
Britain. France, Italy and Japan to as
certain whether it would be agreeable
to those governments to participate In a
conference to be held in Washington, at
an agreed date, for discussion OF arma-
ment limitations.
He has furthermore suggested to the
nations interested in the problems of the
Pacific and Far East that there be I'M

with respect to principles and policies IN

This announcement was made last
night by the state department. by dl-
rection of the President, in the following
statement:
The President. in view of the far.

Shorthand 2.ooo Years ola.

Two thousand years old, and going
stronger than ever !, Such is the amazing
record of shorthand. Marcus Tullius
Trio, Cicero's slave and secretary, was
busily taking down his masters orations
in shorthand of his own invention some
II centuries before a Norman soldier set
foot on English shores. In fact, the
world today would know little of Cicero'S
oratOry but for TirO's ingenuity and in
dustry.
And ever since those remote days
shorthand has f1ourished, with a growing
band of devOtees which today numbers
millions.
1t was not, however, until the days of
Good Queen Bess'' that shorthand. as
known today, was Graded in England.
Then one DR.. Timothy Bright evolved
novel system in 1858. with Peter Bates
quick on his heels with another system
two years later.
Then came John Willis with his dis
ciples. just in time to take down and i'm
mOrtalize William Shakespeare's plays as
they were acted on the Globe stage-for it
was largely from the reporters notebooks
that the plays were first printed.
In the seventeenth century there seems
to have been a small epidemic of short
hand, which became quite a popular
than by Samuel Pepys, who made it the
medium of his fascinating diary, to which
we owe so much of what we know of
Stuart times
But none of the early experts knew
Isaac Pitman's wonderful system of
shorthand, which was to reYOlutiOnize
and simplify the art and to count its
devOtees in hundreds of thousands
