APPEAL FOR PEACE

BELFAST DISORDERS I TROUBLE CENTRE MOVES ANONYMOUS WARNINGS (By Telegraph- Press Association—Copyright) • BELFAST, July 18. The centre of the rioting trouble has moved to districts in the west, where Protestants ami Catholics have received anonymous warnings to leave their homes. Many have removed their furniture and are protected by armed police. The 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, and political, business, and trade union organisations, has appealed for peace. He urged citizens not to gather in the streets, ami to refrain from offensive language, and to resume their ordinary work, adopting a conciliatory spirit towards fellow-workers, of different religion ami polities. The worst lire of the week occurred in the Conway Street School, where incendiaries worked so thoroughly that the Fire Brigade was helpless. James Andrew’s, the youth who was wounded by a revolver bullet when passing down Boyd Street, died in hospital, bringing the death roll to seven.
