CROWDS FIRE ON BRITISH CARS
Vast Amount Of Property Reported
To Have Been Destroyed By
Incendiarism
Belfast, Ireland.—Eleven men dead
is the toll of the fighting of August 28.
In addition to the six men killed dur¬
ing the height of the battle, five of
the wounded died. About forty per¬
sons were wounded ami some of
them will die.
A feature of the rioting was the
'ertent of the destruction oi property
by incendiarism. The fire brigade had
an especially hard time during the
night in lighting the flames. 41'lioii
work was rendered hideous by the con¬
stant rattle of machine guns. The
Linn Feiners were in strong force and
appeared to be well equipped with
arms and ammunition.
The greatest of bitterness was dis¬
played during the fighting. There was
a great amount of wrecking of houses
and the burning of furniture, both in
doors and on the street. The yells at
the mob, the shrieks of women and
children and the groans of the in
jured were audible throughout the
fighting.
When the rioting was at its worst,
women could be seen clad in their
night attire, rushing from their domi¬
ciles, attempting to lear their fami¬
lies from the danger zone.
Three attempts were made to burn
the Independent Labor Party hall. The
last attempt resulted in serious dam¬
age to the building.
It is reported that an armored car
fired on a crowd around a bonfire,
and that a boy was shot through the
breast. Two constables are declared
to have been sent to hospitals as a re¬
sult of their injuries.

BRITAIN AND JAPAN
HAVE NOT ACCEPTED
U. S. VIEWS ON RUSSIA
Russ-Pole Parleys SedTn At Standstill,
And Agreement Reached To Trans¬
fer Negotiations To Riga
Washington. — General accord with
the views of the United States as to
Russia has now been expressed by all
of the allied powers except two—Ja¬
pan and Great Britain.
A formal preliminary statement of
Italy's 'concurrence, which has been
transmitted through the counsellor of
the Italian embassy, has been received,
while similar assurances have reached
the state department from Poland.
Peace Parleys At Standstill
Warsaw.—While Riga has been
agreed upon by the Polish and Russian
Soviet government as the place for fu¬
ture peace negotiations, it is said at
the foreign ministry that no word
has been received from the Letvian
regarding the Poles’ re¬
quest for permission to hold the con¬
ference in Riga.
A w'ireless message from Minsk
that members of the Polish peace del¬
egation and those who accompanied it
to the conference with the Soviety em¬
issaries, are becoming ill because of
the unsanitary conditions under which
they are compelled to exist.
No Cars In Which To Ship Lumber
Bogalusua, Ala.—The lumber pro¬
ducers lack cars to ship lumber to
the car builders so the car builders
cannot make cars to ship the lumber
in. This is the cycle that is seri
ously curtailing lumber production in
Louisiana and Mississippi, The
freight car situation is bad and the
smaller lumber producers say that
unless they can get more cars at
once they will be forced to shut down
their mills. As a result, building costs
are mounting higher, Lumber and
gravel—two important necessities in
building......can be secured only in re¬
stricted quantities.
$250,000,000 Budget For Highway
Washington.—Combined federal ai.ij
state expenditures for road building
material reach a total of $250,000,000
during the current fiscal year, says the
chief of the bureau of public roads.
The last installment of federal aid
funds totalling $100,000,000, became
available last July 1. Three-quarters
of this ^apportionment was derived
from the 1919 appropriation while
$25,000,000 was provided from the
original appropriation in the year of
1916.
Death Of Celebrated Telegrapher
Boston. Mass.—William E. Kettles,
