there as the personal representa-
tive of Archbishop Hayes, which
made the crowd cheer and yell for
more than a minute. He came as
the personal representative of an
archbishop and he came wearing
the uniform Of an army officer. Is
that not some mixture Of church
and stateY Moreover he inspires
his mob Of dupes to hiss the presi-
dent Of the United States in the
same breath they cheer an arch
bishop. The incident shows the
kind of gang this country has to
deal with.
Mention of Sir Douglass Haig
also brought jeers-jeers for the
man whom Rome tried to claim as
Romanist, but couldn 't-jeers for
the man who rendered such gal

against the might Of militaristic
monarchism. Then the League of

Senator Phelan, dean Of papist
senator's, who is reported as telling
de Valera that he would be for the
Irish program, and would support

land to escape what was due them
from the Belfast Orangemen.
This supposed soldier also adj
vised his Friends of Irish Freedom
to boycott any and all who do not
favor the Irish republic and the
Irish way Of getting it. If the

might change the uniform they
