APPALLING DISORDERS IN BELFAST EXCEED ALL PREVIOUS HORRORS Rebels Use Bombs Ambulances Summoned Thirteen Times Within Five Hours Military Obliged to Resort to Bayonet Charges to Dispel Mobs. A despatch from London says: , The hottest battle between the mili-! tary and Sinn Fein gunmen since the Belfast turmoil began occurred on' Thursday morning in the Roman Catholic areas between Grosvenor Road and Falls Road. The Evening 1 Standard's Belfast correspondent says: "Appalling disorders have occurred here, the like of which this city of horrors has never experienced 1 before. Between seven o'clock and: nocn, am- , bulf-nces were summoned thirteen tiimes. The streets were raked with j machine gun fire; tfie rebels, in turn,; bombed several places; two whole blocks of houses were set on fire, and while the firemen fought the flames, the battle waged in the streets all round. "Nine civilians were carried out dead from this inferno, two of them : women. Many were killed in houses, j into which the rival factions pursued them in fury. The bodies were rescued only in time to prevent crematirn. "Bayonet charges by the military were necessary to dispel the mobs which gathered to join in the battle. The gunmen retreated to the Gros- venor Road area, where a fresh battle broke out, involving Lesson Street, Norfolk Street, Grosvenor Place, Mc- Donnell Street and other thorough- fares. The Crown forces had a diffi- cult task in suppressing the gunmen. Their concentrated fire reduced the gunmen to silence for -a while, but I later the rebels mounted a machine j gun and swept the streets, causing' men, women and children to fly for their lives." Mere than thirty houses were burn- : ed in the Milfield and Peter's Hill area of Belfast on Thursday. Only the ; skeleton walla of 13 houses in Boyd ' Slreet remain. All the 14 houses on Peter's Place were destroyed, while dwellings on California Street andj Wocdford Street were damaged by fire and looted. On Thursday a public house in Pet- er's Hill was burned. Heavy firing occurred near the Stanhope Street area, after which the police made ex- tensive raids for arms. The barracks of the special con- stables at Crossmaglen and Jackson House, two miles inside the Louth- Armagh border, were attacked by par- j ties of armed men. Heavy rifle firing , ensued for half an hour, after which; the attacking party withdrew, appar- ently without casualties.

A despatch from London says: The new Earl of Balfour has been asked by the British Cabinet to act as mediator to try and smooth out the entire Irish situation, both as regards Southern Ireland and the border situa- tion in the north. In the meantime Sir James Craig, the Ulster Premier, has given the Cabinet his views cf the state of af- fairs in Ulster. Although he now has 10,000 British trocps apart from his "Ulster volunteers" and special con- stabulary, he complains that his con- trol of the situation is insufficient and he wants a free hand to use the trocps as he pleases. He also put forward an explanation as to why the Ulster Government is unable to maintain law and order in Belfast, but he apparently failed to impress the Cabinet, which finally con- sented to the use of British troops for the sake of the defence of Ulster, but refused to allow him to use them for operations across the border. * I Among certain African tribes bridos ' can be purchased on the instalment system.

It also states 1 that a plant was recently established in Canso where food for cows is be-| ing maniifactuied from fish waste.: As the losses by waste in the Nova' Scotian fisheries amount to a stagger- ing figure every year, similar enter- prises wiH doubtless spring up in other towns besides Caneo. *p The production cf cinema films ; s now the third larn^st industry in Germany.

The German rate also improved, 1 marks rising to the equivalent of 100 for 38 cents, as against the recent low quotation of 100 for 32 cents. Strength of British exchange, ac- cording to well-informed brokers, ' seemed to be predicted on the belief that the moratorium would be follow*- ed by a large German loan and re- sultant re-establishment of large cre- dits by that country in London, more or less to the disadvantage of France and other Continental centres. per lb.; .V^-lb. tins, 17 to 18c lb.; Ontario comb h:ney, per $5.50.
