GIVE UNIONISTS' 38 SEATS
Sweeping Victories Not Only in Belfast but in Sias Counties
-Complete Failure of Socialists..
A despatch from Belfast says;--•
Reedits in the. Ulster election, ane
nounceel 'Thursday evening, indicate
the Unionists have secured a sweep-
. dng victory not onlyin Belfast, •but in
the six 'counties,
Instead of 82 seats which the Um-
'monists have expected to return out
of a total of 52, it is believed they 'will
secure 37 or 38,
If the former they will have, a ma-
jority of 22 over all other'parties, and
in the latter case a majority of 24,
Counting of the votes in four Bel-
fast divisions is not complete, but it
as practically certain the Unionists
have seemed 15 out of. 16 city seats.
In the West Division the Unionist,
T. H, Burn, 11x,1'., headed the pall whit
13,298 votes. Joseph Devlin, M.P.,
,Nationalist, was second with 10,621
votes,
Tho Sinn Fein expected to secure a
seat at the expense of Devlin or the
'Unionists, but they polled only 9,110
votes out of nearly 58,000.
So poor a show did the Socialist
•candidates make that they have Sill
'forfeited their £150 deposits.
In Londonderry City, Professor
Maenefl, Sinn Fein Vice -Pres,, was
returned, along with three Unionists,
Another. Sinn Feiner and two Nation-
alists were defeated.
Disturbances broke out in Belfast
following the elections, but these
•
were generally of a minor de-
scription, There wee a fierce
riot, however, in the Marrowbone dis-
trict, and the military were obliged
to fire 'before the disturbance could be
quelled, A main was shot dead. Sev-
eral armored cars patrolled the neigh-
borhood and over a dozen arrests were
made.
All pai'bies are celebrating—the
Unionists, because they have woe;
the Nationaliets and Sinn' Feiners, be-
muse they have made thein protest
against the partition of Ireland, and
believe the protest will have its effect
en the minds of the peoples of the
world,
The ooantieg of the ballots will nit
bo completed probably until the end
of the week, but so far es the returns
go they allow that the Unmoniets
made their greatest ,gains in Belfast
Js soph Devlin is the only Nationalist
or Sinn ,Feiner who will have a seat
for Belfast in the new Parliament, if
he decides to sit there. Hie colleague,
Alderman Byrne, wets at the bottom
of the list, with only 311 votes.
Late on Thursday night it was re-
ported that Sir James Craig had a
good lead in County Down, with Lam-
onn De Valera and J. M. Andrews
running close for second place. The
Unionist °candidate was leading in
Armagh, with Michel Collins, com-
mander of the "Irish Republican
Army," second,.
UNSINKABLE PLANE
FOR CHANNEL TRIP
London Convexly is Making
a Novel Craft,
A despatch from London says:—
• One of the latest ideas for the conti-
nental air service is an unsinkable air
plane. It is being constructed by the
Stagg Lane Aerodrome Company of
Edgeware. The buoyancy is obtained
by an indiated air balloon fitted into
the rear end of the fuselage near the
tail. It is figured that this will keep
the machine well above water level
in the event of an accident, In the
roof is fitted a sliding mica emergency
door through which travellers would
be able to escape.
In the new machine. the pilot sits
behind the passengers in about the
same relation as on thebridge of an
ocean liner. The Air Ministry is said
to be greatly impressed with its pos-
eibi:ldties because one et its other
qualifications is to reduce the cost of
operation.. The innovations do not
interfere with the speed of the mat -
chine, for it will make 120 miles an
hour.
Since the greatest fear of the
Channel passengers is a ducking, the
new type of airplane is expected to
make a great appeal to tourists who
like to travel in the air.
U.S. NAVY GIVEN
TOO MUCH CREDIT
Rear-Adnsiral Sims Says Bri-
tish Fleet Won the War.
A despatch from Landon says:—
Rear-Admiral William S. Sims, who
commended the United States naval
forces in the war zoneduring the last
two years of the war, told Admiral
Beatty, commander of the British
Grand Fleet, and a distinguished ass
semblaage of British and United States
men and other:Prominent persons on
Thursday, that the British had. been
disposed to give the . United States
navy too much credit for the part it
played in the Allied vic=tory.
In an address at a-lunchean given
by the Pilgrims' Society in his honor,
Admiral Sims said:
"The British Grand Fleet was the
keystone in the Allied arch, without
which you 'in this country would to-
day be speaking German with a very
strong English accent"
Admiral Sims waved aside personal
tributes from Admiral Beatty and
Lord Desborough, asserting that had
the commend of the United -States
naval forces in Europe been entrust-
ed to one of the 40 or 50 other (United
States officers eligible in reek, the
result would virtually have been the
same.
Death Calls Admiral Wilson.
A despite]: from London says:—Ad-
miral Sir Arthur Knyvet Wilson,
First See Lord of the Admiralty from
1909 to 1912, and who retired in the
latter year died on Thursday at
Swadham, Norfolk.
Admiral Wilson was born in '1842,
the son of Rear -Admiral George
Knyvet Wilson. Ile became a cap-
tain in the Royal Navy in 1880 and

Approximately 4,800,000 workers
are idle in Europe exclusive of Rigs-
'Ma and the Balkan States. This repre-
sents 'an
epro-sents'an increase in unemployment'of
about one-third as compared with six
months ago; but also compared with
an unemployment of front 10,000,000
to' 15;000,000 just after the armistice
was signed. The estimate covers all
ingest ies except agriculture and in -
eludes the striking miners in England.
A despatch from London says:
—When the Attorney -General
announced in the Commons on
Thursday that the first war
criminal tried at Leipzig had
been .sentenced to 10 months'
imprisonment 'there were cries

More Precious Than Gold.
An lutereabing history attaches to a
small packet about two and a half
inches square which recently arrived
In Landau,
It weighed two and a half pounds
and was eagerly bought by an Ameri-
can firm for $6,000. •
The packet contained osntiridium
(osmium and its alloy h•idlure), used
for the tipping of fountain•pen points
and for delicate 'bearings of flue ma-
chinery, -
The discovery of osmiridium, which
is a member of the platinum group of
metals, constitutes an interesting ro-
mance.
Towards the end of last year a
small group of prospectors were wash-
ing for gold In one of the river beds
in Papua, British New Guinea, Ia
their eagerness to fine( the precious
metal they threw away from their
pans a. bluish -grey flaky substance as
worthless.
This was ostniridium, but the men
did not know it, and it is eight times
more valuable than gold, and worth
at the present time about forty pounds
an dunce,
When the Wren got back to the
settlement they mentioned the occur-
reiide to a mining engineer, who im-
mediately asked them what they did
with' the substance. They replied
that they left it on the river bank, and
the engineer exch.i:ned, "It must be
osmiridium,"
The next meriting the whole party
started for the snot, only to find on
their arrival that the tropical rains
and the swdiien river had washed'
dwaymost of the precious stuff. What
rehntned was carefully raked togett-
er, rednee , and dispatched to' Lond•
where it arrived safely a short while
ago, having been heavily insured for
the voyage.
Oentiridimn is one of the hardest
metals known, and prospectors are
eagerly searching for it in Papua.

"TRIAL BY FIRE" EXTENDS

Goldelug's pa'emisee and several
smaller houses around Cork wore de-
