DUBLIN, April Especial 10 the Pub
fishers Press)-It is now estimated that
not less than 10000 IrishzAmerioans win
make the pilgrimage to Ireland during the
coming summer and preparations are be-
ing made TO give them the time Of their
lives, The first batch Of pilgrims are looked
for early in May and they will be coming
right straight along until October.
Il don't think the invasion will over
crowd u.s." said one Of the leading Dublin
hotef proprietors to a representative the
other day. Dublin is 'over-hotered. and
so is Killarney. I do not thing many rich
people will be taking part In the pilgrimage,
and the majority Of visitors will stay with
their friends"
The Hotel and Tourist association Of Ire
land nave recommended their members to
make a 10 per cent reduction in the ordinary
tariffs to those taking part in the pilgrim
age and this action probably will be taken.
