EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION CAUSED BY BELFAST RIOTS Constant Bickering Results from Mixed Political Views of Certain Sections of the Capital Ulster Cabinet Dis- cusses Situation. A despatch from Belfast saya: The death r611 in the Belfast street riots now stands at fourteen. The military are cordoning off the disturbed areas, but the situation remains extremely dangerous. The Ulster Cabinet held a confer-! enee with the police and civic author- ities and are requisitioning additional troops. Gunmen were again active in the Old Lod<f?e district. They opened a heavy fire in the direction of Shank- hill Road, a thickly populated Pro- testsnt quarter. A young mur. was killed and four were serbusiy wound-] ed in this fighting. Workmen were attacked on the way home in West Belfast; the police were' C''>1igtd to fire on the attacking forces, ' which were dispersed. The present trouble had its origin in the Warren and side streets lying be- 1 tween West Strret and North Queen Streets. Thp residents of these streets and Old Lodge Road, another storm' centre, arc of mixed political views! atii constant bickering is the result. This boiled up on Monday. A fortunate circumstance is that Falls Road, the stronghold of the Nationalists and ' Sinn Feir.ers, and Sandy Row, Shank- 1 hill and Ballynvacarrett, where j Orangeism predominates, are standing! aloof. As the day progressed, the police patrols increased their effectiveness j and succeeded in getting better con-: trol of the warring elements. Sir William Coates, the Lord Mayor,! early palled on General Carter-Camp- bell, commander of the British troops in Ulster, for soldiers to quell the rioting, urging the need of protection for the city's citizens, and his demand was granted. During the dinner hour a heavy downpour of rain drove the contend- ing factions from the strests. Police in a "birdcage" lorry immediately be- gan shepherding curiosity seekers from the danger points. From that time on the sniping died down. Some appreher.-sion was felt as to what; might happen when the shipyard] workers returned home from their i work in the evening, this being deem-' ed the most critical time of the dayJ If that period should pass off with-] out untoward incident, it was believed 1 the rioting could be considered at ani end. During the morning sniping was! carried on in full view of the people in the windows along Royal Avenue. It was here a milkman and a little boy were wounded by shots from Kent Street, which runs from Royal Avenue to Carrick Hill, a Sinn Fein strong- hold. A passing tram-car was utilized as a shield by a section of a crowd in the line of fire, but the two were struck by bullets. A court martial sitting at G-alway sent two members of the Black and Tan forces in Ireland to ten years at penal servitude. They were convicted of raiding a house at Salt Hill and compelling two students to walk bare- foot over broken bottles. LORD BYNG OPENS THE CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION His Excellency is here seen presenting the colors of all Toronto regi- ments after they were dedicated by Canon Scott. The colors will be de- posited in Westminster Abbey. other. In a score of places in what used to be Russia little wars are flar- ing up, dying down and lighting up again.

A despatch from Ottawa s;.y3: The death of Emmanuel B. Devlin : Liberal! member of Parliament for Wright County, Quebec, brings the number of vivan-iies in the House ei' Commons up tn seven. Four seats in Ontario, all of which were formerly represent-, ed by supporters of the ti-ivcrnmer.t,' are vacant, namely, West York, Leoda and Brockville, Durham. Victoria and Haliburton.

Bulletin No. 1 of the series to b issued by the Provincial University during the academic year 1921-22 has just come from the press. In this booklet there is outline.! in the brief- est possible fashion the various ser- vices that the Department of Uni- versity Extension has to offer to the people of Ontario. For teachers there is a summer session in arts and in pedagogy, correspondence courses and teachers' classes during the winter; for farmers there is a comprehensive two weeks' course; for industrial lab- orers in the large cities there are evening classes throughout the winter season; for journalists a one week's course. Then, there are extension lec- tures available to any locality in the province; a course on "foods and dief'j for women; a town-planning caurse;j rural and urban evening tutorial classes during the winter; and, most radical of all departures, an arrange- ment by which a group of twenty peo- ; pie in any part of Ontario may study, i under competent instruction in even-; ing classes, and proceed to a B.A. de-j gree. The concluding paragraph of this bulletin states that the University of Toronto will endeavor, in the mat- ter of higher education, to meet the needs of any part of the province so far as its finances and the size of its staff will permit. All of this means that the provincial university is rend- ering real service to its constituency and so is performing the true func- tion of a modern university. To de- velop properly this type of sVvice a more adequate revenue will be re- quired. Sanitation Lengthens Average Span of Lifej A despatch from Columbus says: The average life of man has been lengthened four years in the last quarter century, de- spite the crime wave, war. auto- mobile and other hazards. "Within another generation the allotted threescore years and ten will be a thing of the past," Dr. George W. Hoagland said, basing his claims on mortality statistics of the American In- surance Union, of which he is secretary. "Improvements brought about in sanitation, the nationwide anti-spitting fight and other steps have contributed toward man's longevity," Dr. Hoagland said. "Severe epidemics of ty- phoid and malaria which former- ly took such a huge toll of life, no longer are known." Red Rash. Some yvurs ago a writer on wars and war causes said in substance that in 4,000 years of recorded history there had been no more than 4,000 days when peace had been unbroken in all parts of the world. The old globe is rarely free of the Red Rash. On the eve of the Disarmament Con- ference we are enjoying a period of comparative world peace, but it is only comparative. We are dreading the "next war," while a dozen wars, little and big, are running their course. There is fighting in China between the North and South; nor are these mimic battles. Spain and Riffian tribesmen are locked in death grips aion^g the Moroccan seacoast. British forces and tribesmen are battling in Mahsud along the northwest Indian frontier. In Asia Minor. Greek and Turk are continuing the immemorial battles that have always raged between East and West in this cockpit of the Near East. Here is a war of first-class dimensions and over first-rate issues. There is a truce in Ireland now; but a few weeks ago Erin was a place of bloody ambushes and gunfire in nar- row streets. It may be so again. Upper Silesia is reasonably quiet now; no man knows for how long. There is continual fighting in East- ern Siberia, where old boundary lines have dissolved and a half a continent is drearily fighting under the banner of first one half-bandit and then an- in the exchange between Crown and Sinn Fein. It reiterates the English stand that Ireland cannot be permitted to withdraw from the empire. It meets the Irish claim for independence head-on. Lloyd George reiterates the English offer, insists that it does mot; Irish demands, warns that the truce may end and reminds De Valera that he is rejecting the final peace offer that no English Governr-ent dare ex- ceed in liberality. The very quickness of the English reply argues that England has made her final concession. No time was taken in conferences and considera- tions. Sinn Fein and De Valera can hardly fail to note that fact. De Valera has made his restatement of the stand for complete Irish separa- tion. The reply of Lloyd George is a restatement of the higher lights of the English stand and something more. It is aimed not onfy at De Valera and Sinn Fein, but at all Ire- land, and at all the empire, at world opinion, and particularly at American opinion. That reminder of his that Ireland under the dominion status will be freer than the States of the American Union will be impressive in the United States. His quotation from the first inaugural address of Abraham Lin- coln, bearing upon the physical near- ness and indivisibility of the American North and South, an.l applying the Lincoln argument to the geographical situation of England and Ireland, ap- I peals to Americans who know any- thing of the Civil War problems and dangers. The references to the demands and i views of the older school of Irish lead- ers must have weight in an Ireland that is persuaded to peace. As only the Sinn Fein, the Anglophobe and the German elements regard England as a "militarist" nation of the Prussian English Premier does well to ignore the De Valera insinuations of "militarism" and the implication! that England would deal with Ireland as Germany would deal with Belgium. 1 Ireland knows better and the world , knows better. On the surface the exchange of notus leaves the situation deadlocked King George has sent a mes- j as it was a week ago. But so long as sage to the Archbishop of Can- ; the truce holds, so long as there is a terbury on the Irish situation. | suggestion that the last word has not The message said: ibeen said, the hope of peace will live "Let us thank God that some in spite of the ""bending attitude of measure of response has &tt JjK gJ^tL har<lly weakencd vouchsafed to my appeal to my j ' But nj ^ n ^ , rcstatement | Irish people.

"We cannot' prolong a tion may be consummated by the j mere exchange of notes," is Lloyd deliberations now proceeding, j George s reminder. Sinn Fein must make its decision. It has been told over and over again that Ireland can have freedom, but within the Commonwealth. Sinn Fein has come to the crossroads. It must make its decision for war or for peace. To be happy, one should always j have something beyond one's reach.

King George Prays For Irish Peace A despatch from London says: LAPSE OF DEFENCE OF BEAU ACT LEAVES BRITAIN UNDER ORDINARY LAWS A despatch from Lsn-dcn says: The official end cf the war on Wed- nesday r.'ght brings a cut in wages and salaries cf employees of the Gov- ernment approximating 1'500,000 weekly. Civil servants' bonuses, bas-' ed en the cost of living, have been re- duced considerably. The higher grades of workers lose 10 to fiO per cent, of their recent pay. Salaries under 500 yearly are reduced from five to twen- ty-one shillings weekly, and agricul- tural wages fall six shillings weekly. The Defence of the Realm Act, em- bodying a variety of -viirume restric- tions, lapsed on Wednesday night. Its provisions have loiv.j been virtually inoper.-itive. CENSUS RETURNS BILLION GOLD MARKS SHOW BIG INCREASE PAID TO THE ALLIES Dominion Statistician Gives Figures on Growth of Ontario Towns. A despatch from Ottawa says: An increase of U5.28 per cent, in the popu-! lation of Orillia, Ont., in the last ten j years, is .shown by bulletin number three covering the preliminary an- nouncement cf population just issued by the Dominion statistician. The; population of Orillia now stands at' 13,334, as compared with 6,828 in: 1911, when the' last Dominion census- was taken. The bulletin issued covers 25 citi&s and towns in eastern and western Canada. Although Oriilia' shows the largest percentage increase' of places covered in the bulletin, Sault Ste. Marie is a close second with a percentage increase of 93.26 in the last ten years, and a population to-dav of 21.228. The Dominion Statistician announc- 1 es that the count is subject to correc- tion. Adjustments on account of closed houses and absentees have yet to be made. Anyone who thinks that he or she has been omitted from the census is requested to notify the bur- 1 eau of statistics. Ontario returns issued are as fol- lows: 1921. 1911. In.-. !

Germany Discharges in Full the Installment Due on Reparations Account. A despatch f-.-om Berlin says: An- nouncement is made by Otto von Glaz- napp, vice-president of the Reirhs- bank, that Germany has paid a billion gold marks due to the Allies on Aug. 31. He added that the Reichs-baiik had been oblige*! to take 68,000,000 marks in gold dollars and other for- eign monies from its gold reserves, which are now on the way to New York. A despatch from New York says: The German Government, through its fiscal agents in the United States, has anticipated further reparations obli- gations to the allies. According to well-informed Uink:r>: interests representing the Bf-rHn Gov- ernment, these payments, which are variously estimated at $(io,000,000 t> 5100.000,000, have already been de- posited with the agents of the British, French and Belgian Governments in this city. Purchases of United States dollar exchange to effect this transaction were conclude 1 .! several weeks :igo, :t was stated. This probably accounts for the recent stability of internation- al remittances at this centre ami thj markj-d strength of Dutch and SL-..;> dinavian rates. Thu?e countries, it is understood, were the markets through which Ger- many acquired the greater portion of the United States exchange ne.essary to the completion of the payments maturing at the present time.
