Clippings

DIESEL ENGINE REPAIRS.

HARLAND& WOLFF'S LONDON WORKS.

A feature ofMessrs. Harland & Wolff's London works which shipowners will not be slow to appreciate is (says a London correspondent)the provision which is being made at King George V. Dock plant for dealing with Diesel engines of the Burmeister and Wain-Harland and Wolff type.

A large stock of parts is kept in store, and renewals are consequently made with less loss of time than would otherwise be the case.

The firm's activities are, I gathered during the course of a visit, impressively varied, for the Port of London Authority river craft, buoys, locomotives, cranes, dock gates, and cold storage plant and machinery are being maintained or repaired, and, in addition, elaborate provision has been made, chiefly at the King George V. Dock, for dealing with the largest merchant ships and their machinery.

TIRED OF HER LIFE.

PLEA OF UNHAPPY BELFAST WOMAN.

At the Belfast Custody Court to-day, before Mr. John Gray, R.M., Martha Brown, a married woman, 36 Eureka Street, was charged on remand with having attempted suicide in the River Lagan on the 12th inst.

The evidence showed that the woman was found standing on the bank of the Lagan about to jump into the water.She had thrown off her hat and gloves, which were lying on the ground.When remonstrated with by James Wales, a labourer, Bilton Place, Belfast, the woman told Wales to go away, as she was going to throw herself into the water, and he would spoil her.

"I am tired of my life," was the woman's excuse when charged by constable Kerr. Her husband promised to look after the prisoner, who was trembling in the dock.She denied that she had attempted to commit suicide, and pleaded not guilty.

The woman was returned for trial, bail being fixed.

UNCOMMON SENSE.

PLOTS.

It is the plot that holds a story together.

The writer who began a tale without a fairly definite idea of how it was going to end would meander on unceasingly and uninterestingly.

He would never find a publisher, to say nothing of readers.

It is, of course, quite impossible to know in advance exactly what is going to happen in every chapter.

Characters sometimes take things into their hands -- and, like children, refuse to do what they are expected to do.

Also, when the author gets well into his story new complications occur to him, which sometimes necessitate changes.

To make these changes, he must go back and rewrite some of the early chapters.That is hard work, but if it effects an improvement in the story it is worth while.

You will write, as you go along the story of your life.

You will have a good many collaboraters, and chance will play quite an important part in the narrative.

But you will be the real author, and upon the time and energy and brains which you devote to the manuscript will depend whether, after you have laid down the pen, it will be worth reading by other people.

You will find it profitable to begin with a plot, as good a plot as possible, and to stick to it as far as you can as you go along.

In the course of time you will find that alterations must be made, and that there will be a good deal of rewriting to the back chapters to do.

We cannot always get the right start, and sometimes it is fortunate for us that we cannot, for when we do things over we usually do them better than we did in the first place.

You do not want your life to be rambling and disconnected.Whether you like it or not, the things that you do between twenty and thirty will affect your conduct between thirty and forty.

With a plot, you can direct that early behaviour so that it will benefit your behaviour later on.

You can look ahead, and build on an intelligent plan -- just as necessary in life as in architecture on story-writing.

There is, it is true, a veil between you and the future through which you cannot see.

But you can form a very accurate idea of what is likely to happen from what has happened.Reasoning on that you can form your plot, and make it as ambitious as you choose.

If you do not do that, the chapters you string haphazard on the thread of life are likely to be very disconnected and dull and empty, and neither you nor anyone else will care much about reading them by and by.

MEAN KIND OF FRAUD.

BELFAST CLERGYMEN SWINDLED.

"FUNERAL EXPENSES" PLEA.
DEAN OF CONNOR AS WITNESS.

An amazing story of how Belfast clergymen were invited to officiate at a bogus funeral, and to contribute towards the funeral expenses, was related in the Belfast Custody Court to-day.Facing the bench were seated eight clergymen in a row, and they all testified as to how they had been hoaxed.

District-Inspector Spears, who had prosecuted, commented that it was a long time since they had such a fine attendance of the representatives of the Churches.

The accused was a neatly-groomed young man named John Houston, whose address was given as Beechmount Avenue, and he was indicted on eight charges of receiving money by false pretences.He was defendedby Mr. John Graham, and ordered six months' imprisonment on each count, the sentences to run concurrently.

The first witness was Rev. John M'Keown, Ashley Avenue.He informed the Court that on the 14th of this month the prisoner came to his door and said his name was Houston, and that he lived in Lisburn Avenue.He said Mr. Rodgers of Ulsterville, could not come to officiate at the funeral of his wife, and he asked witness if he could come.Witness said he would try and attend.Prisoner told witness that his wife had died in Southampton, and that he was bringing her over.He said the charge was five guineas and that he had only £4, and he asked witness if he would give him the 25s to make up the amount required to bring her over.He said if he got the money he would pay witness the money back that evening or the next morning.Witness had only 30s in his pocket at the time, and he gave it to the accused.

"A short time afterwards," said the witness, "it dawned upon me that I had done a stupid thing and the next morning I went to Lisburn Avenue about the funeral and I discovered that there was no person the name of Houston there."Witness then informed the police of what had happened.

Mr. Graham -- Words are insufficient to express what I think about the matter. (Laughter.)You were very charitable to him and believed his story.You will be more careful in future, I take it.

Witness -- I was not very well that day.

Very Rev. W. Dowse, Dean of Connor, was next called, and said that on the 14th inst. The prisoner came to his house and told him that he was in difficulties as his wife and children were across the water and he wanted to bring them home. Mr. Gray, R.M. -- did you never know him before?

The Dean -- No.Proceeding, witness said that after the accused had told his story he gave him 15s, and after he went away witness missed a pair of gloves that were in the hall.

Mr. Graham -- Dean, you were let in also. (Laughter.)

Dean Dowes -- I was.

Mr. Graham -- I am surprised at you. (Laughter.)

The Dean -- I am surprised at myself.

Rev. Walter A. Somers, Avoca, Lisburn Road, said that on the 11th of this month the accused came to his residence and said his name was Houston, and that he lived at 17 Fitzwilliam Street.He told witness that his wife had died at Southampton, and he asked witness for 17s 6d, which witness gave to him.He invited witness to officiate at the funeral at 2.30 on the following day.When witness went to take the service he found that there was no person of the name of Houston at the address given.

Rev. Samuel B. Mitchell, Oakleigh, Osborne Park, stated that the defendant called with him and told him about his "wife" having died across the water, and said that he was bringing the "body" home.He asked witness to arrange for the funeral, and on the representations which the accused had made witness advanced him 5s.

Mr. Graham -- Apparently he asked for too little from you.I observe that in one case he got more than he had asked.(Laughter.)The clergy have been very charitable to this man.

Rev. Charles S. Greaves, The Mount, said the accused came to him on the 10th inst. and asked witness to attend the funeral of his "wife" on the following day.Accused gave witness his address as Ravensdale Street.Witness gave prisoner 15s to help to pay the "funeral expenses."When witness called on the following day at the address given he discovered that no death had taken place.

Mr. Graham -- This is something new for you Mr. Greaves. (Laughter.)

"£25 IN THE POST OFFICE."

Rev. Alexander Ashworth, Cyprus Park, deposed to the accused calling him on the 10th March.Prisoner gave witness his address as 201 York Street.He told him that his wife had died at Southampton, and he wanted to bring the "body" over as well as his two children.He said his wife had £25 in the Post Office, and he asked witness for 10s until he would get the money out of the Post Office.Witness gave him the 10s, and the accused signed an I.O.U. for it.(Laughter.)Witness afterwards discovered that the prisoner did not reside at 201 York Street.

Mr. Gray, R.M. -- You did not make any inquiries before you lent him the money? Witness -- Certainly not.

Mr. Graham -- You were more cautious than any of the others, Mr. Ashworth.I am afraid the value of the I.O.U. is no better security than any they have got. (Laughter.)

Rev. William Nesbitt, Ballygomartin Road, told of the accused calling with him on the 13th inst., and telling him a similar story to what he had told the other witnesses.Witness gave the accused 25s.

Rev. David Hill, Cliftonpark Avenue, proved having given 15s to the accused after he had told him a like story.

Mr. Graham, in his address to the Court, said that this case was amusing only from the point of view that clergymen had been "let down" in giving money to this man.He thought it was a tribute to charity and generosity of the clergymen of every denomination in Belfast as to how they acted in cases where genuine charity might be required.Unfortunately in this case the clergy had been imposed upon, and his (Mr. Graham's) old friend, Dean Dowes, had been "let down" along with the rest.While that case was amusing, it also had a tragic side.The accused was a young man of 25 years of age.He had served nine years with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, and he (Mr. Graham) had been instructed that he won the D.C.M. in the war.Apparently he had had an honourable military career, and he was discharged in January, 1923. He had never yet been in prison.He had been out of employment, and he fell to that crime.

The court ruled as stated.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

FOR DUTY -- NOT REWARD.

The hope of success, and not the hope of reward, should be our stimulating and sustaining power.Our object, and not ourselves, should be our inspiring thought.Selfishness is a sin, when temporary, and for time.Spun out to eternity, it does not become celestial prudence.We should toil and die, not for heaven or bliss, but for duty. -- Albert Pike.

"LARCENY BY TRICK."

PREMIUM TO GET WORK.
BELFAST MAN REMANDED.

At the Belfast Custody Court to-day, Mr. John Gray, R.M., presiding. Alfred Edward Yeates, Donegall Pass, was remanded in custody for a week. He was charged with the larceny by means of a trick of £2 in money, the property of Wm. Cobain, 43 Park Avenue, Belfast.

William Cobain, giving evidence, said that on the 6th inst. he saw an advertisement in a newspaper, which read: "Wanted, a young man to learn upholstering, good wages; small capital required." Witness replied to the advertisement, and on the 10th inst. received a card from prisoner at Cromac Street. Witness on going there was asked for a small premium of £10, which the witness could not produce. He had only £2.

Several meetings took place after, at which further arrangements were made to begin business.

On Thursday, 13th inst., at a meeting which took place between the witness and accused the accused asked witness for the remaining £8, which witness said he had not.

Prisoner then said, "There's another day lost. I could have got the £10 down from another chap without any trouble."

Witness was requested to bring money on Friday morning.

Constable David Baird stated that he went to Cromac Street on Friday morning and found prisoner standing in Cromac Street, and he arrested him, and, when cautioned, prisoner said, "I am not guilty."

BIG DAY AT ROBSON'S.

CATTLE SHOW AND SALE.
STEADY DEMAND: GOOD TRADE.

The scene at the Victoria Horse Bazaar, Messrs. Robson's Ltd., Chichester Street, Belfast, to-day was one of abounding activity. Once more it was the annual grand show and sale-the forty-ninth-and there was a big entry of pedigree and non-pedigree cattle. These included shorthorn bulls, Aberdeen-Anguses bulls and cows, registered dairy bulls, and British Friesians, and all were characterised by a high standard of merit.

Judging commenced at an early hour in six classes and was finished in excellent time. The judges were Mr. Alexander Cameron, J.P., Cookstown, who had charge of the shorthorn department, and Mr. Martin, of the Belfast Co-operative farm, who looked after the friesians. There was much keeness of competition, making it difficult to award prizes in several cases; but the decisions arrived at gave entire satisfaction.

The duties of chief steward were ably discharged by Mr. John M'Robert, junior, whose father, Mr. John M'Robert, J.P., Rademon, laid aside by illness for some time, performed the same office for quite a long period, with every possible acceptance. Indeed, the figure of that veteran stockowner and agriculturist was very much missed at this enterprise, as also at the great effort of the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society during the past few days, and the hope of his many friends is that he may soon be restored to health and strength again.

The awards were as follows:-

Best Non-Pedigree Shorthorn Bull, calved between 1st January and 31st March, 1923 inclusive -1, Mr. Thomas Linton, Glarryford -- Rose Prince; 2, Mr. Hamilton Holden, Broughshane -- Rover; 3, Messrs. J. and J. Thompson, Dromore, Co. Down -- Star of Ulster; reserve, Mr. John Fleck, Broughshane -- Red Prince; very highly commended, Mr. James Montford, Little Ballymena -- Iris Crown II; highly commended, Mr. John L. Gilpin, Waringstown -- Rex.

Best Non-pedigree Shorthorn Bull, calved between 1st April and 30th June, 1923 inclusive -- 1, Mr. James Montford, Little Ballymena -- Sir William; 2, Mr. Thomas Linton, Glarryford -- Beauty's Pet; 3, Mr. Thomas Linton, Glarryford -- Hero; reserve, Messrs. J. and J. Thompson, Dromore -- Victor; very highly commended, Mr. Dynes Gilpin, Lurgan -- Red Barron; highly commended, Mr. Samuel M'Burney, Broughshane [-- text continued --]

THE ONE-DAY STRIKE AGITATION.

BIGGEST MISTAKE POSSIBLE.
NOT PRACTICAL POLITICS.

The policy of a one-day strike in order to call attention to the plight of the unemployed was discussed at a meeting in the Alhambra Theatre yesterday -- Mt. T. M'Donald (Plumbers) being in the chair.

The resolution calling upon trade unions to support the movement was spoken to by Mr. H. Midgley and Alderman Donaldson, who were followed by Councillor Milan. The latter said that according to the terms of the resolution, trade unionists were called upon to enforce a twenty-four hours' strike. With all due reference to the unemployed, organised and unorganised, he thought that was the biggest mistake possible. What did it mean? It might be popular in some directions, and unpopular in others. What it really meant was that the industrial worker would be unemployed for twenty-four hours, and that the whole fabric of their industrial activities would be undermined. It would mean that their shipbuilding, housebuilding, and all other activities would cease. Would it not, he asked, be better to ask the workers who were employed to contribute, at least one hour's wage, in support of the unemployed, apart from any consideration of what they might be entitled to under present legislation in regard to relief? He (Mr. Milan) put that before them on the ground of practical politics: Would it be wise to hold up the whole industrial machinery, as was suggested by the resolution?

The problem of unemployment (proceeded Councillor Milan) was not one of wages entirely, but a question of absorbing the unemployed as far as possible into employment, and he did not think that a strike, as suggested, would be effective. The Labour Government, up to the present, had not solved unemployment, but had found itself up against difficulties. He did not believe the resolution was at all practical politics, and he did not think the majority of trade union officials believed it could be carried out satisfactorily. He himself sympathised deeply with the unemployed [-- text continued --]

PORT OF BELFAST.

ULSTER'S GREAT SEAPORT.

BY M.J. WATKINS.
General Manager and Secretary of the Belfast Harbour Commission.

Reprinted from "World Ports," the monthly bulletin of the American Association of Port Authorities, European Harbour and Dock Association, Pacific East Coast Association of Port Authorities.

The Port of Belfast stands in the front rank of British Ports and is the chief seaport of Ireland. It owes its pre-eminence to the great natural advantages of its situation, supplemented by the commercial enterprise of its people and the progressive policy of its Harbour Commissioners who have spared neither effort nor expense in providing an up-to-date and efficient port.

Located at the upper end of Belfast Lough, a natural bay about 12 miles long on the north-east coast of Ireland, it affords a commodious and sheltered harbour, easily accessible for ships of all sizes by means of the deep water approach channel which runs in a direct line to the docks and is excellently buoyed and lighted.

Amongst the natural advantages which Belfast has over most other ports is the smallness of its tidal range which, at its maximum, is only 9¹/₂ feet. This has rendered dock gates unnecessary and vessels can consequently proceed direct to and from their berths at all times, thus obviating the tedious delays which arise at ports where vessels have to wait for high water in order to dock.

The quays, which afford berths for vessels drawing up to 30 feet at low water, have a total extent of nearly 6 miles, and commodious and well lighted sheds have been provided in which goods can be rapidly handled.

A feature of the port is its extensive equipment of quayside cranes, both of electric and steam, ranging in capacity from 2 to 10 tons for ordinary loading and discharging, with special cranes for heavy lifts up to 120 tons.

Over 11 miles of railway lines and sidings have been laid on the quays by means of which direct connection is maintained with the railway systems throughout Ireland, making Belfast an ideal distributing centre for all kinds of goods.

BIRTHPLACE OF LEVIATHANS.

The graving docks rank amongst the finest in the world and have accommodated many of the largest vessels afloat,-Belfast being the birthplace of such leviathans as the "Britannic," "Titanic," and "Olympic," all of which have been accommodated in the Thompson Graving Dock (887 feet long). In addition there are the Alexandra Graving Dock (803 feet long) and several others.

The port has kept well in line with the rapid development of oil for commercial and navigation purposes, the Harbour Commissioners having provided a deep-water wharf where the largest tankers can discharge their bulk cargoes through pipe lines and where oil burning vessels may take supplies of fuel oil. Large installations for storing and supplying oil, petroleum, petrol, etc., have been laid down in the vicinity by the principal companies engaged in the trade, and Belfast now constitutes the largest distributing centre for these commodities in Ireland.

Ample accommodation is available for storing coal, ore, iron, steel, etc., and also timber on land or in ponds, and as a result of the large schemes of reclamation which have been carried out by the Harbour Commissioners hundreds of acres adjacent to waterside and railways, etc., are available for the establishment of additional commercial and industrial works.

The natural advantages of Belfast and the efficiency which has marked its administration throughout its history are reflected in its charges which, for the services rendered, are substantially lower than at other ports, and are being further reduced. The fact that this is appreciated by traders is evidenced by increasing traffic returns, which show that the tonnage of vessels cleared in 1922 exceeded that of the previous year by a quarter of a million tons, whilst the tonnage of imports and exports increased considerably more, and the returns to date clearly indicate that 1923 will far surpass 1922.

The administration of the port is in the hands of the Belfast Harbour Commission, who are appointed under Statute, the Chairman being Mr. W.E. Williames, D.L., J.P.

GOLF DANCE AT WHITEHEAD.

The annual dance under the auspices of the Whitehead Golf Club was held on Friday evening in the parochial hall, and attracted a large and representative gathering. The organising committee has made excellent arrangements for the convenience of the guests; the hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and the club's hospitality was dispensed in traditional style.

Associated with the lady captain (Mrs Thornbury) and the hon. secretary of the ladies branch (Miss Nethery, Bank House), was an energetic committee, to whom much of the success of the function is due. Supper was served in excellent style in the adjoining hall. The music was supplied by Mr. J. Fearon's orchestra, and Mr. Tom Rew proved an efficient M.C. The programme was an interesting one, and was carried on until the early hours of this morning.

NATIONAL TEACHERS' ORGANISATION

Sir, -- With regard to the deputation from the I.N.T.O. which waited on Dr. Garrett, senior chief inspector, and which pressed the recommendations that where a teacher is marked "highly efficient" there is no need for the usual annual inspection, allow me to point out that such a recommendation did not emanate from the branches or county associations. Consequently, the members of the deputations spoke only for themselves. Those teachers (and they are the majority) who are marked "efficient" strongly object to such a recommendation. If such proposals are given effect, the one-teacher school and the school of two teachers with 70 -- 80 average of irregular attendance must bear the brunt of the inspection system for the benefit of more favoured colleagues, who, through one cause or another, have managed to annex a "highly efficient" mark. All loyal members of the I.N.T.O. will object to this piece of attempted class legislation, and it is to be hoped that they will take steps to ensure that future deputations act only on the instructions issued to them.

IRISH TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE

The council of the Irish Alliance met in the Boardroom, 20 Lombard Street, Belfast, on Friday evening, Mr. Hamilton M'Cleery presiding. The secretary reported on the number of meetings which he had attended during the week with a view to establishing Temperance Councils in districts which had not already formed them.

Correspondence was received from Mr. Robert Crawford, M.P., enclosing a reply of the Minister of Finance, Ulster: who gave the number of retail licences in force and the annual licence duty involved, 31st, March, 1923. There were 3,845 licences, with an annual licence duty of £51,038 9s 1d. In addition to the number of the wholesale and retail dealers given, there are also hotels, railway refreshment rooms, restaurants, and clubs where intoxicating liquors are sold.

LONDONERS' VIOLENT EXERCISE.

WALKING MILES TO WORK.
COURT OF INQUIRY OPENED.

London was tramless and 'busless this morning owing to the strike at midnight of tramway and 'bus workers. This resulted in many exciting scenes at the railway stations and on the road.

Thousands of City workers had to walk miles to get to business, whilst many more beseiged the already packed underground trains.

No official statement was issued at the Electric Railway House this morning, but a Press Association representative was informed by an official there that the stoppage, so far as they were concerned, was complete, no trams or 'buses running on any of the London General Omnibus Company's routes or those of its allied concerns.

"The stoppage is complete," was also the message given out at the head offices in London of the Transport and General Workers' Union this morning by the Strike Committee. The men, said one official, had all shown most perfect loyalty.

The Strike Committee, representing both tramwaymen and 'busmen, had sat throughout the night receiving reports from all parts.

The Court of Inquiry into the tramway dispute was opened at the Law Courts, London, to-day, under the presidency of Sir Arthur Colfax. Many officials of the various interests involved attended, including Lord Ashfield.

Mr. Bevin at once opened the case on behalf of the men.

In no city in the world, said he, had men to work at such high pitch of nervous strain. At the last fall in wages they made an urgent appeal that London should be excepted from the national vote on reduction, but the pleadings were not given the slightest consideration.

PICKETTING AND PIRATES.

The Transport Workers' Union made it known last night that they will not tolerate pirate competition at the expense of the tramwaymen, and ways and means will be taken to stop every pirate 'bus plying for hire. Every garage is to be extensively picketed from midnight, and any busman seen piloting a "pirate" is to be warned of the risks he runs. In the view of the officials of the union very few pirates will do so.

THE CARMANIA ASHORE AND AFLOAT

ON SANDBANK SOME HOURS.
TAKEN OFF BY FLEET OF TUGS.

Our Liverpool correspondent telegraphs:- The Cunard liner Carmania, on her trial trip after reconditioning at Glasgow, ran aground at the Askew Spit, near Crosby Lightship, at the entrance to the Mersey early this morning. She remained fast on the sandbank for some hours, but the impact was so imperceptible that the passengers on board, save the navigating officers and crew on duty, were unaware of the accident until they rose in the morning.

Wireless messages were sent from the ship and a fleet of tugs were promptly in attendance. With their aid, and the Carminia's own steam, the liner was got off without any difficulty, and she proceeded up the river. There was no damage of any description.

The Press Association's Liverpool correspondent telegraphs:- The Carmania was pulled off the sandbank by six tugs as high tide approached, and was thus refloated. She proceeded up the river to Liverpool.

The Cunard Company announce that the Carmania is now safely in the Huskisson Dock.

SEAFORTHS' ADVENTURE.

"WE ARE FED UP," SAID ONE.

Two soldiers, Private Wilkins and Bowen, of the 1st Battalion Seaforth Highlanders, were remanded until Tuesday at Belfast Custody Court, to-day, on charges of maliciously breaking a plate-glass showcase at the premises of Samuel Brown, Ann Street, and stealing three trinket cases.

Constable Williams told the Court that on Friday night about 11.30 while in Church Lane he heard a crash in Ann Street, and going there he found that the showcase had been smashed, and a large paving stone was lying near. He went in pursuit of two soldiers in kilts, and met the prisoners. Wilkins said, "It's all right: we will go quietly. We wanted money. We are fed up." Brown said, "It's all right, lead us down." In their possession he found the three trinket boxes.

CO. ANTRIM BLACKGUARDISM.

An old lady named Margaret M'Cluney, aged about fifty-five to sixty, reported to the police at High Street barracks, Ballymena, this morning, that when in her house at Woodgreen Cross, Galgorm Parks, on Friday night, at about ten o'clock, just as she was retiring for the night, two young men entered her little shop, and one of them asked for a packet of cigarettes.

When she was in the act of getting the cigarettes, the other young man covered her face with a handkerchief or muffler, and started to beat her. She was put down, and of them then beat her most unmercifully.

She created a noise by rattling a tin can, on which she managed to lay hold, and attracted the attention of a neighbour named David Craig, but just as he arrived on the scene, the two young men decamped.

The woman presented a pitiable spectacle, her face being badly blackened and cut.

The police are making investigations into the outrage, and have obtained a description of the culprits from the injured woman, who stated they were not disguised.

NEWTOWNARDS GUARDIANS.

BANGOR DOCTOR'S RESIGNATION.

Mr. David O'Prey presided at the meeting of Newtownards Board of Guardians to-day, at which a letter was read from Dr. Mitchell, medical officer for the Bangor dispensary district, resigning his position. The doctor explained that he had received warning as to his health for the past two years, and he felt that the circumstances would not permit him to continue. He was sixty-two years of age, and it was with regret he resigned.

The clerk intimated that Dr. Mitchell had been for twenty-three years the medical officer for Bangor.

On the motion of Mr. James M. Thomson, J.P., seconded by Mr. T.R. Lavery, M.P., the resignation was accepted with regret.

WHAT ABOUT BELFAST?

A correspondent writes:- At a meeting of Liverpool business men at the Midland Hotel a Liverpool organisation was formed. Its purpose is that of acquainting the world with the marvellous opportunities Liverpool offers for combining business with pleasure. In the influential business circles of Liverpool it is felt that if only the world is informed it will realise that outside London, Liverpool is the finest town in England, from both a pleasure and a business point of view. Its fine panorama along the Mersey, its magnificent Cathedral, and its many theatres, fine shops, golf courses, etc., all help to raise it to this proud position. It is felt, therefore, that the new movement will fill a long-felt want, and make Liverpool the pleasure as well as the business centre of industrial England.

LORD LONDONDERRY ON BORDER.

The distinguished party later visited Clogher, where they were received by Capt. J.H. King, O.C., 31st Platoon.

Proceeding to the Protestant Hall, they inspected a detachment of Red Cross nurses, under Miss Haire-Forster, and afterwards inspected the A and B forces, the latter in charge of Sub-District Commandants William M'Keown and Alexander M'Comb.

After a short visit to the platoon headquarters at Clogher Park, the party proceeded to Fivemiletown and Colebrooke.

VICTORY TROPHY GUNS.

ANTRIM PRESENTATION
IMPRESSIVE PROCEEDINGS.
RECEPTION BY COMMISSIONERS.

In the presence of a large assemblage of residents and visitors trophy guns were handed over this afternoon to the keeping of Antrim Town Commissioners. The ceremony, which took place in the open-air, was invested with outstanding interest to many whose relatives had played a heroic part in the Great War. Shops, where convenient, were closed, and flags and bunting were displayed.

Punctual to the time arranged -3 o'clock -- a procession formed up in Castle Street, and was composed of the Massereene Brass and Reed Band, members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, in command of Captain A.G. Irvine, D.I.; "B" Specials, in command of Captain Robert Thompson, a trophy gun drawn by ex-Servicemen, ex-Servicemen representing the town and district; the Town Commissioners, Dungonnell Flute Band, Boy Scouts, and members of other loyal and patriotic organisations. All marched to Fountain Street, which presented a crowded appearance, and here a meeting was held under the presidency of Mr. C. Burrows, chairman of the Town Commissioners.

In the course of his remarks, the Chairman said their demonstration was unique in the history of the ancient town of Antrim. When they realised that the presence in their midst of two German guns had created all that excitement in many, very many, were puzzled to know the reason why. Therefore, he should like to offer them, very simply, a few thoughts on what the guns were to them, and what they were not. In the very forefront of his observations he should like to say, and to say it emphatically, that those German trophy guns were in no sense of the word, and under no consideration, a war memorial to their soldiers, either the living or the dead.

NO WAR MEMORIAL.

Unfortunately they were in the sad position of being one of the only towns in Ulster who had up to the present erected no war memorial to their incomparable soldiers. True a scheme for a technical institute was largely subscribed to, but for some reason or other it got jammed, and, therefore, miscarried. In that connection, they might allow him to say, surely that important matter would not end there. There must be ways and means formulated to remove that stigma from the duty and the honour which they owed to their soldiers. (Hear, hear.)

Turning to their trophy guns they might as well admit that some people did not like to see them, and the question arose why they were there. He thought there were many reasons for their being there -- reasons noble, reasons patriotic, reasons imperial, and undying reasons for the presence of those guns in their midst. Those guns should portray to every one of them the majesty, the dominion, and the power of the great British Empire, whose sons they were, and whose sons they were going to remain. (Applause.)

Let them consider for a moment how those guns had reached them. After unparalleled fighting they were taken from the Germans and shipped from France, and now they came to Antrim from England's War Minister as representing his gracious Majesty King George V. (Applause.)

Surely, after the wonderful record connected with their transfer to that town they wanted to be careful how they spoke of those mementoes. It was only natural that they should hate their appearance, that they should hate their materialism, and that they should hate their use; but they needed a far deeper vision -- they wanted to see the bull-dog grip of the Briton, wrestling those implements of war from their enemies. They wanted to see the spirits of the victors witnessing that they had fought a good and victorious fight. (Applause.)

"GLORIFIED FUNERAL."

In a few minutes Colonel Pakenham would be committing those guns to their last resting place, and never again would their chambers be charged with the vehicles of death. Therefore he wanted them to look upon that demonstration as a big glorified funeral. (Laughter.) He was glad to inform them they had present there two gallant soldiers, Colonel Pakenham and Major O'Neill, who would give them first hand impressions of their great soldiers in the world's war.

The world's need now, said the chairman in conclusion, was peace, and if those trophy guns were anything to the people of Antrim let them be emblems of peace. If peradventure the dark clouds of war should ever again threaten either the throne or the person of their beloved King let them remember the words of their suppliant National anthem.
   O Lord our God arise,
   Scatter his enemies
   And make them fall
   Confound their politics,
   Frustrate their knavish tricks,
   Our hope on Thee we fix,
   God save the King.
(Loud applause.)

Colonel H.A. Pakenham, C.M.G., D.L., who addressed the assemblage, dealing with the occasion which had brought them all together, formally handed over the guns to the Commissioners.

The trophies referred to -- reminders of a grim and protracted struggle for the freedom of nations -- were accepted by the chairman of the town authorities, who gave the assurance that they would ever be preserved in Antrim in honour of the men of the town and neighbourhood who had served and fallen in the war.

AFFECTING CERMONY.

The Massereene Brass and Reed Band then played "Rule Britannia," and an appropriate address was delivered by the Right Hon. Hugh O'Neill, M.P., Speaker in the Parliament of Northern Ireland.

The solemn and affecting ceremony of placing wreaths on the guns was performed by Mr. S. Hannan, representing the local ex-Servicemen, and Mr. John M'Cabe (vice-chairman), on behalf of the Town Commissioners. Similar tributes were placed by members of the general public.

Bugler -- Instructor Harry Burrowes sounded the Last Post.

On the proposition of Mr. Charles Mackean, J.P., seconded by Mr. Robert J. Kirk, J.P., both of whom paid high tributes to the gallantry of the men of Antrim who had volunteered for King and country, a hearty vote of thanks was raid to Colonel Pakenham and the Right Hon. Hugh O'Neill for the part each had taken in the proceedings.

The compliment was conveyed by the chairman and suitably acknowledged. The Doxology, announced by the Rev. W.A. Adams, B.A. was sung with fervour, and Rev. Canon M.H.F. Collis, B.D., pronounced the Benediction.

The Reveille was then sounded by Bugler-Instructor Harry Burrowes, and the proceedings closed with the singing of the National Anthem.

Colonel Pakenham said he felt greatly honoured at being invited to undertake that ceremony of handing over the gun. He had certain claims on Antrim town, as he had been commander of the South Antrim Regiment, of which the 3rd Batt. was formed in Antrim, and was first commanding officer of the 11th Royal Irish Rifles, in which Antrim was represented by the C Company. He was very pleased to be there on that occasion to pay his tribute to the gallantry of the men of Antrim. Two hundred and fifty-eight of those men joined his Majesty's forces from Antrim town alone, and of that number some forty-two never returned. If they added to the number from Antrim those who came from Mucknamore, Dungonnell and district the total would be 500. Thiepval, Messines, Ypres, and the great German rout of 1918 were some of the battles and victories in which these men took part. The guns he handed over that day as a trophy of the gallantry of the men of Antrim, had done their best to stop them, but had not succeeded, and they would remain there as mute witnesses to the great German defeat and rout. The makers of those guns (Krupp and Co.) little thought when they were casting them that their final abiding place would be the streets of a peaceful town in Northern Ireland. (Applause.)

The guns were then formally handed over by Colonel Pakenham.

FOR FAR-OFF FIELDS.

BIG CANADIAN CONTINGENT.
LEAVE BY THE S.S. METAGAMA.

About 300 emigrants sailed from Belfast this afternoon on the ss. Metagama for Canada. The bookings for this journey were, with few exceptions, the largest yet from the Ulster port. The C.P.R. liner left the Clyde on Friday afternoon with upwards of 1,000 Scottish emigrants on board, and dropped anchor in the lough at an early hour this morning.

On account of the heavy traffic it was necessary for the harbour tug Musgrave to make two journeys to the ship. At 7 o'clock the tug left with the first contingent and later she returned to Donegall Quay and fetched the remainder of the passengers out to the ship. In addition, Messrs. Cooper and Son's tug Audacious was requisitioned to carry the baggage.

Two-thirds of the Irish emigrants were young men of fine physique from the country districts, and they were going out to the Far West as settlers on the land.

There was also a heavy consignment of mails, and the work of embarking having been speedily effected, the Metagama left at 2 p.m., being only a few hours detained in the lough.

Mr. W.M. M'Calla, the C.P.R. agent, personally superintended all the arrangements, which were carried out without a hitch, and the Rev. S. Cochrane was also aboard the vessel. Mr. Lough, The Canadian Government representative in Belfast, was pesernt, while Dr. Gibson, J.P., medically examined all the passengers. It should be added that every berth of the Metagama was booked in this trip.

The C.P.R. will have regular weekly sailings to and from Canada during the season, and it is expected that a large number of Canadians will land at Belfast on their way to visit the Empire Exhibition at Wembley.

CHILDREN'S MATINEE.

GIRL GUIDES AT CINEMA.
VISIT OF DUCHESS OF ABERCORN.

A large and representative gathering of Girl Guides and school children attended the Matinee, Royal Avenue Picture House, this morning, on the occasion of the first visit to the Children's Cinema Matinee, of her Grace the Duchess of Abercorn, President of the Ulster Girl Guides. Guide companies present were the 23rd, 11th, 26th, 10th, 47th, 14th, 34th and 28th Belfast, under the charge of Miss Magill, District Commissioner for Duncairn, assisted by Miss. M. Cromie, with a small detachment of Brownies.

Her Grace, who was accompanied by Lieutenant R. Gilliland, was received by the Children's Cinema Committee, a strong detachment of Guides forming a guard of honour, on her arrival. Some members of the Belfast Education Committee attended by special invitation, also Alderman Mrs. M'Mordie, M.P., and the Councillor Miss M'Comb.

A splendid programme of pictures included "Pathe Gazette," "Eyes of the Fleet," " Aesop's Fables," and "Poppies," a beautiful Nature film, and, not least interesting to the blue-uniformed girls was the "Girl Guide Rally of 1923" (on which occasion her Grace inspected the Guides).

The management also presented, this morning, the first episode of that wonderful film, "A Tour Round the World," which is being taken by Miss Violet Domino, a Scottish girl, who is filming and visiting the world's countries. To-day's film, taken by her, was of "Scotland's Banks and Braes," and was delightfully accompanied with Scottish reels and songs by Mrs. Robin M'Mullin's orchestra. The announcement that Miss Domino's next picture was to be the six counties of Ulster, was received with great enthusiasm.

Alderman Duff, who attended to introduce her Grace the Duchess, said he considered this an exceptional honour, and one which might be taken down as a red-letter day for Ulster, because of the presence of the Duchess of Abercorn, who had come to show her interest and approvement in the great work which had been done in connection with the matinee. It was also a red-letter day because it was the initiation of a new step in education in Belfast, as the Belfast Education Committee had given a sum of money to produce a film of the Northern Counties of Ulster, exclusively for themselves. He hoped that the boys and girls in the humblest cottage in the six counties to those in one of its greatest mansions, all realised that the great mission and hope of all was to make their province one of the best in the world. One of his duties was to introduce the Duchess, but this he thought unnecessary, because she had already won the way into all their hearts.

REPLY BY HER GRACE.

It was a picturesque view when her Grace arose to reply, the centre of a guard of honour consisting of detachments from all the companies present. Her Grace said she was delighted to be present, because she was fulfilling a promise made two years ago when she had first heard of these matinees from Mrs. Lowry, and she had always longed to take part. She also took the opportunity of expressing her gratification to the committee for their splendid work, and particular to the manager of the Picture House for the wonderful kindness he had shown in giving them the use of the beautiful Picture House. They had all been particularly interested in the Scottish film shown, but her Grace mentioned that a much more attractive one still would be the film taken in Ulster. It would subsequently be shown probably all over the world, and Ulster men and women in Australia and Canada would have a peep of their own beloved country. In conclusion her Grace hoped they had all enjoyed the matinee as she had, and trusted that more children would take this opportunity of pleasure and education

VOTE OF THANKS ACCORDED.

Mrs John Lowry, the main-spring of the children's matinee effort, in proposing a vote of thanks to her Grace, mentioned that the presence of the Duchess was the greatest help she could have afforded them.

People were only beginning to realise the possibilities of the cinema for children's education. They were not out chiefly to make money, though a sum of £140 had been given to charity from the matinee.

Dr. Deans, of Rosetta Sschool, in seconding the vote of thanks to her Grace, said that the visit of the Duchess had come at an opportune moment. The cinema committee had experienced a very up-hill climb, and had not received recognition due to them, but the visit of her Grace was the harbinger of that recognition. The strength of the nation depended on the education of her children, and so these matinees were being run on an instructional as well as a pleasing way. The committee were fortunate in the happy choice of Mrs. Norwood as secretary, who had spent more time and trouble over the success of the matinee than they would ever realise. The second great factor which had made the matinee feasible was the fact that the manager received all their proposals in such a generous way.

Councillor Barron and Dr. A. Trimble also spoke, and her Grace was delighted with the children's continued acclamation, given at Alderman Duff's suggestion, as a right royal Ulster welcome to her Grace.

"THE LIGHT THAT FAILED."

BELFAST MINISTER'S SUBJECT.

Rev. A.L. Agnew, B.A., minister of York Street Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church, will preach at the evening service to-morrow on the subject of "The Light that Failed."

The Rev. Mr. Agnew on Sunday last preached a special sermon on "Priests." His fearless and thoughtful address made a great impression on the large congregation, and added to the reputation which he has so rapidly gained since coming to Belfast.

On the same occasion the service was attended by the Belfast Chapter of the Laymen's League, the lessons being read by the secretary, Mr. F. Robinson, of Holywood.

CONCERT IN STRANDTOWN.

A concert was held in Strandtown National School last evening. It was promoted and organised by a patient in former years at the Women and Children's Hospital, Templemore Avenue, who was so grateful for the benefits of that institution that he felt he must do something in return. Mr. Dickenson was in the chair, and the artistes included Miss Pepper, Miss K. Call, Miss M. Chambers, Miss M'Sherry, Master D. M'Roberts, Master T. Cull, Master W. Daniels, Mr. Ward, Mr. Hollywood, and party.

A pleasant program was greatly appreciated. The accompanists were Mrs. Bell and Miss Goudy.

GIRL GUIDE TRAINING.

Sir.- Might I ask for a little space in your widely read paper with reference to an important matter in the lives of the young girls of our city, and how its development is hindered by some of the ministers of various churches. Within the past twelve months I have taken a great interest in the finest organisation for girls, I think, in the world, namely, the Girl Guides, and who are at present training for their competition on the last Saturday of this month.

I have visited many companies at work lately, and I am sorry to say that the ministers hinder instead of promoting the movement. One company in particular I was with this week, when I got to them, I found them allotted the church vestry room from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the small schoolroom from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m., with the school forms in position, leaving them an area of about 30 feet by 10 to drill a company of about 24 girls. Now what kind of a chance has a company with this small area to drill in, in the various competitions.

I think that it is the duty of all ministers to allot at least once a week the largest room in the school from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. for the use of the company and to encourage the girls of his parish to join the company. All companies should have their minister or chaplain in attendance at each parade night to open the parade with prayer. The company of which I speak had their colours presented to them in church some time ago by a lady, I think, of the parish. Those colours are as highly treasured as any regiment's colours, and yet they were never properly dedicated.

I hope our church ministers will see after the comfort of their respective companies --
Yours, etc.,
AN EX-ARMY SERGEANT.

CONCERT AT BALLYCARRY.

The members of Hillhead Amateur Flute Band promoted an interesting concert, which was held on Friday evening in No. 2 National School, Ballycarry. Rev. Thomas Bartley, B.A., minister of Ballycarry Presbyterian Church, presided, and there was a large and enthusiastic audience. In addition to selections by the band, and orchestral items by the Ballycarry String Band, the following took part in the programme:- Miss Mollie Duff (Islandmagee), Miss Dick, Miss M'Allister (Larne), Miss Ferguson (Belfast), Messrs. Joseph Henshaw, Robert H. Mitchell, Samuel Brown (Whitehead), Harry Long, William Hume, John Beggs (Belfast), J. M'Gladdery, Pardo Erskine, J. M'Kenna, and Isaac Macartney (Belfast). A sketch, entitled "The Pottinger Draught," was ably acted by Messrs. M'Gladdery, Erskine, and M'Kenna.

At the conclusion of the programme Dr. Charles Dundee, J.P., moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and artistes.

PINT TUMBLER AS MISSILE.

At Belfast Custody Court this morning John Hegan, Bow Street, was ordered to find bail or go to jail for a month for having broken a pint measure and a bottle of port in Mooney's public-house, Collingtree Road, on Friday.

The publican said he refused to serve Hegan, who was drunk, whereupon prisoner lifted a pint tumbler and threw it at the publican's brother, smashing the port bottle.
