DISTURBANCES CONTINUE FURNITURE BURNED IN STREETS (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) BELFAST, July 18. The centre of the trouble has moved to the west districts, where Protestants and Catholics received anonymous warnings to leave their homes. Many removed their furniture, protected by armed police. Furniture was set on fire in some streets where crowds of both factions gathered.

The Lord Mayor, at the instance of the leaders of religious denominations, political, business, and trade union organisations, appealed for peace, and

urged citizens not to gather In the streets, to refrain from offensive language, and to resume their ordinary work, adopting a conciliatory spirit to their fellow-workers of different religion and politics. A SCHOOL DESTROYED BELFAST, July 18. The worst fire of the week occurred in the Conway Street School, where incendiaries worked so thoroughly that the fire brigade was helpless. Andrew has died in hospital, bringing the death roll to seven.

A message received on Tuesday stated: When James Andrew, aged 17, was passing down Boyd street, a Loyalist quarter decorated with patriotic emblems, he was seriously wounded by a revolver bullet in the stomach.
