CORK SUFFERING
FROM IRISH TROOPS
The Port of Cola is Closed and

Robbery is Reported.
(By Associated Press.)
Belfast, July 17.—Reports reaching
here today represent the city of Cork
as suffering grievously at the hands
of the republican insurgent forces,
who were said to be in absolute con
trol.
The port of Cola lias been closed,
it is said, and ships are not being al
lowed to either enter or leave. Busi
ness premises have been seized and
their contents appropriated for the
republican troops use, many of whom
are billeted with the civil inhabitants
and several thousand people are out
of work. This is all said to be making
the conditions of unusual seriousness.
The refugees also report that there
has been a bad outbreak of robbery
and destruction of property.

was keeping in close touch with the

However, according to an Associat

on the island had been ordered to
move.
Col. Russell stated, however, that up
to lie o’clock definite orders had not
been received. “Our troops are in
readiness and can move in a mo
ment’s notice,” he said.
Details of the trouble in Waycross
were meagre. It seems that non-union
men at work in the shops of the At

feared he could not cope with the sit

Reports Made to War Depart
ment Show That Young
Americans are Eager for Mili

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, July 17.—Reports from
the nine army corps preas show that
young Americans are eager for mili
tary training, applications for admis
sion to the summer civilian military
training camps having swamped offi
cials. In some areas Applications are
no longer being counied, the number
received by June 30 showing that the
quota would be far exceeded long be
fore the camps open on August 1.
Indications are that more than 50,-
000 young men will ;seek admission
to the camps this year.
Of these only 27.000 can be accept
ed under applications j made available
by congress and the iVar Department
faces the necessity on sifting out the
applicants in order that the most
promising material miy get the bene
fit of the training.
•Early reports this ijionth showed a
total of more than 801000 applications
already in. Only two corps areas, the
first and third were then below the
3,000 limit alloted for training in each
corps series of camps.
The fourth corps area led with 5,365
applications received. Because of the
great interest manifested in the south
ern states permission for additional
300 men to be taken into the camps in
that section has been granted.
In the seventh corps area, the mid
dle western section, 4,028 applications
were on file early in July, against the
i3,000 limit to be taken into the camps.
The 9th corps, the far west, 3,400 had
applied a month before the first camp
opened.

Bituminous coal mine operators
were invited by President Hard

and resume operations.” after
they replied to the President’s
tender of arbitration for settling
the natioal coal strike with a col
lective offer to put the properties
arid their services at the disposal
of the government “in this crisis.”
Speaking as chairman of the
group of operators after the
White House conference, Alfred
M. lOgle said employers would at
tempt to resume operations. In
the meantime, the miners’ union,
through adjournment of its con
trolling policy committee, made
certain its refusal to accept the
arbitration proposed and many of
its officials left Washington.
The bituminous operators were
not unanimous in accepting but
it was said that a large majority
did. There are intimations in offi
cial circles that the protection of

(By Associated Press.)
Wellsburg, Pa., July 17.—Four
known dead whose bodies lay in the
morgue here tonight were silent wit
nesses of the gun light which raged
for over an hour at daybreak around
the Clifton mine of the Richland Coal
Company.
At Cliffordville, Sheriff Duvall, who
led the small band of deputies against
a large crowd, said to have crossed
from Pennsylvania and burned Tipple,
was among the dead and at least two
of the men who attacked the mine.
With forty prisoners in jail and
three in the hospital, deputy sheriffs
armed with John Doe warrants are
searching for other attackers and a
large force of police and deputies are
guarding the striking miners’ tent
colony at Cliftonville.
T. H. Duvall, who was with his fa
ther at the mine when the fight took
place, accompanied the body of his
father to their home.
“There had been rumors for some
time that the mine was to be attack
ed because it wai operating with non
[ union men,” said Mr. Duvall, “and last
J night we heard the attack was to be
! made soon. The sheriff had a detail
! of men at the mine, but he gathered
! up a number of others here in Wells
burg, and w T e went out to the mine
last nuight. The report w'as that a
big crowd of men were on their way
from over the state line in Pennsyl
vania, and after we reached the mine
the sheriff placed guards around the
property.
“Nothing happened until about day
break, when firing began from the top
of the hill above the mine opening.
We replied to the fire, and the sheriff
ordered the men to move up the hill.
They responded, firing as they went.
The sheriff reached the top before he
was killed. I saw him a few minutes
before and he was hurrying after a
small party of the mob. 1 suppose he
was killed shortly after that, because
I found his body when I came up.
"The mob seemed to be armed with
all kinds of guns and had abundant
ammunition. They were running over
the hill.”
