ULSTER EXPANDS AS

Northern Region Develop ing Big Export Business As War in Southern Sec tion Rages.

Belfast, Aug. 1S-Northern Ireland is making hay while Southern Ireland fights.
 Outbreak of Civil War in South Ireland has been .cofncident with a lesseniHg of the religious warfare that has ragged in Belfast for the past six months.
 Business men of Ulster are nope fui that they are now in for a trade revival. The Ulster government, the Northern Ministry of Commerce and in an effort to extend and improve the export trade of Ulster. The boycott upon Ulster goods, which has been laid in South Ireland. has helped to extend the export trade. since it has been necessary to find new channels for Listers products.
 The devastation which Ulster has suffered as the result of Its senseless "war for the love of God" has brought 8 renewed effort on the part of Ulsterites. and everywhere. there Is 8 determination to recoup the losses which have been written down because of the murderous religious conflict
 The season at the Ulster resorts has been successful, and despite re- sfbere has been more than the norrnas number of summer visitors.
 No one believes that the religious hatred, which has run rampant TOT 300 years, has died out in Ulster, but everyone is hoping that both parties to the warfare have arrived at ~ point where they will be willing to restrain their hate in the interest of their own welfare.

LONDON, March 1S.--There were
two events today Of tremendous I'm
portance that indicate that govern
ment is to adopt a more drastic at
titude toward the Indian National
lists. They were:
1. Appointment Of Viscount Peel,
a Tory, to the post of secretary Of
India.
2. Imposition of six-year prison
term at 'Ahmedabad, India. upon
Mohandas X. Gandhi. chief leader
of the Indian nonco-operation.st s,
or Nationalists.
The fact that Premier Lloyd
GEORGE appointed a Tory to the
post of secretary for India instead
of a Liberal was generally accepted
as q sure sskn that the govern
ment's Indian policy would be stif-
fenced. The Tories in Parliament
have made their greatest fight
against Premier Lloyd George on
the grounds of his treatment OF Ire
land was too liberal. 1t held prob
ably tonight that more drastic meas
ures would be taken to put down
the agitations Of the Indian Nation
alists of all factions, the Moderates,
who were directly behind Gandhi,
as well as the Extremists. who de-
mand vigorous measures against
the British.
Military precautions have been
taken to put down any disorders
that may arise from protests
against Gandhis sentence. the
Indian office does not deny that the
political situation in India Is most
serious. despite all efforts to check
outbreaks
