Mr.. Edward Bahon Of the
Postal Service returned home
from New York last Saturday
after an absence Of several weeks.
It will be remembered Mr.. Bahon
had been assigned by the Govern
ment to do postal work in France
after passing a successful exami-
and departed for Washing
ton to secure his papers. From
there he went to New York where
he remained preparatory to max
ing the journey across the, ocean
and when passports were applied
for the French Government took
the position, that he was . iFrench
Subject and if he went to France
he was subject to the cali Of that
Government as a. soldier lof
France. From what we, are in
formed, owing to the fact that
Mr.. Bahon was born, before his
father took out American natl
aralization papers made him still
q subject of France. This being
the situation which confronted
he preferred to return
home, which he did. and he is now
al. work in. the New Iberia post
office as heretofore. His friends
were delighted that he returned. !
