THE MOIIXIXG- OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1920 BRITAIN RAPPED BY SIR EDWARD CARSON Effort to Govern Ireland De clared Utter Failure. ULSTER PREPARED TO ACT Nothing Conciliatory Noted in Unionist Ieadcr's Adress at Orangemen's Gathering. BELFAST. July 12. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Celebration of Orange men's day had as its feature the cus tomary parade and In addition a notable speech by Sir Edward Carson, Ulster unionist leader,, whosee. pro nouncement on the Irish situation was looked forward to eagerly. Sir Edward, as usual, came up to expectations. He minced no words and the enthusiasm reached a climax when he declared in effect that the government had failed to govern Ireland and that if it could not pro tect Ulster the volunteers would re organize and Ulster would take mat ters in its own -hands. Every hamlet, village and town in Ulster had a celebration and reports tonight are that all passed quietly, even in Londonderry, where the two factions are represented as ready to renew the fighting should military forces relax. Belfast was heavily guarded by soldiers, but the only troops allowed out of bartacks were those on duty. Mothins? Conciliatory .Noted. Those people in England who hoped that a conciliatory note might be struck in the celebration will be dis appointed. There was nothing con ciliatory about it, from the inscrip tions on the banners across the streets denouncing the Sinn Fein to Sir Edward Carson's declaration that the people of the south would of their own volition have to hang those guilty of political murders before Ulster would even consider union, which the sponsors of the home rule bill have said they hoped for. The parade, whihe it is estimated numbered 25,000, was unique tn the variety of music and its banners. There was a band to every half-block. The banners were gorgeous silken affairs on which were painted scenes depicting Ulster's history. Rain and wind threatened to de stroy these banners, but the return march from Flnaghy park, where the ceremonies were' held, was made in beautiful weatiier. Some Americans Present. Rev, George Tlmmon, supreme head of the Orange order in the United States, who is here with a few other Americans for the triennial ses sion of the imperial grand Orange council of the world, speaking at the park, said: "It is said that 3,000,000 Irish are going to shake the British empire. Well, we have 10,000,000 Irish in America and they , are not going to shake the American republic." Sir Edward Carson charged the British government with failure to govern Ireland. He declared if the British could not handle the situation in South Ireland they should turn it over to some one who could. He warned the government if it did not accept the help. Ulster offered, "we will .take matters into our own hands." Government Held Inept. Discussing conditions in Ireland, he said: "I read daily of the whole govern ment in some place being taken over by the Sinn Felners. I read of county councils swearing allegiance to the Irish republic. I want to ask what the government is doing with the county councils. My opinion is that such councils ought to be dissolved, I read daily of the Sinn Fein police taking part in the government of various towns. "If the British government is un able to deal with these matters, it ought to ask somebody else. It is an ignominious thing for loyal sub jects to be compelled to admit the authority of those professing to act in the name of the so-called Irish republic, yet to my knowledge there are men in south and west Ireland who, ostensibly at least, have been obliged to throw in their lot with these Sinn Feiners to save their per- sons and property. Fight la Ulater Forecast. "We know well that the real battle neld of Ireland In relation to a re public will be Ulster. We know well mat ineir one amDition is to pene trate Ulster and take possession there as elsewhere. Do not let us close our eyes to the realities of the situation. whatever the consequences. "Never will we enter into negotia tions with the Sinn Fein until of their own volition they have brought to the scaffold the men who are giving our country the reputation of being country of criminals and assassins." Sir Edward warned the governmen that as it had refused Ulster's re peatedly proffered help and because of its inability to protect Ulster against machinations of the Sinn Fein, "we will reorganize in our de fense the volunteers who lent you such splendid help to maintain the empire during the war." He added: "But one thing we won't submit to Is that we should be left helpless in the face of our enemies, and we tell the government that come what will, in the last resort we will rely upon ourselves and under God we will de fend ourselves.

BIG WATER STORAGE HELD FOR PORTLAND 3,267,000,000 Gallons Re serve in Bull Run Lake. COLLEGE BOYS EMPLOYED Timber Crib Dam Built to Control Underflow-From Lake Dur ing Winter Months. Within three weeks Portland will have an additional water storage in the Bull Ran lake amounting to 3, 267,000,000 gallons, sufficient to give Portland 50,000,000 gallons of water daily for 65 days. This additional' storage will be made possible through the completion of a timber crib dam and partial con trol of the underground flow from the lake. A crew of 30 men, working under the direction of Assistant Wa ter Engineer Oliver, are rushing the dam to completion, and it is expected to release the water through the dam within three weeks. A party of city officials and news paper men returned to fortiana last night after completing an inspection trip through the Bull Run reserve, a trip which consumed three days' time. For years millions of gallons of water has escaped from Bull Run lake during winter months, lowering- the ake level and leaving a minimum amount of storage for use during the dry period. . College Boys Employed. During the past three years, under the direction of City Commissioner Mann, water bureau officials . have been directing their energies toward Impounding the flood water. While the underground flow has not been completely controlled, sufficient work has been done to assure even a greater supply of water in the lake during the dry period than can be brought into Portland in the two pipe lines now serving the city. Husky young men, the majority students of the University of Oregon, are employed at the lake. These men, anxious to establish a record which will induce Commissioner Mann to again employ college men during the summer season on work in the Bull Run reserve, are giving excellent re sult, according to engineers of the water department. The dam, now virtually completed. is of a timber crib type, with a rock fill, equipped with a large sluice gate to control the flow. The material used in constructing the dam was taken from the reserve itself, with the exception of heavy bolts and steel work which have been brought over Jhe 11 mile trail by pack trains. . Pack Horses Ised, Incidentally, all supplies used at the lake must be brought over a mountain trail on pack horses, a trail which leads gradually up to an elevation in excess of 4000 feet above sea level, and drops at the lake to an elevation of 3180 feet. " In addition to the crew engaged in building the dam, the city has 10 men constructing a fire break around the lake watershed to the north and east, to prevent any possible danger of fire breaking into the watershed as a result of logging operations be- ng carried on in Hood River county. just outside the reserve limits. In the work of constructing the fire break the city is receiving the co-operation of the United States forest service, by way of reciprocity for the aid given by the city's men in fighting forest fires which occur in the country tributary to Bull Run lake.

JEWS JOYOUS IN LONDON BRITAIN PRAISED FOR TAKING PALESTINE MANDATE. 10,000 Members or Race Reprc- senting 2 8 Xations Engage in Demonstration. LONDON, July 12. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Ten thousand Jews in a demonstration in Albert hall on the occasion of Great Britain's ac ceptance of the mandate for Pales tine, tonight unanimously adopted resolutions expressive of apprecia tion of the "illustrious services ren dered the Jewish nation by the states men and peoples of the allied and as sociated powers, particularly Great Britain." The resolutions pledged the Jews to "spare no effort or sacrifice for the rebuilding of Palestine as a Jew ish national home, in collaboration with the inhabitants of the coun try." Arthur J. Balfour, lord president of the council; the marquis of Crewe, Dr. Chaim Weizmann, head of the Jewish administrative commission, and Jewish leaders representing 28 nations, who are holding a Zionist conference here, addressed the meet ing.
