 sic Committee. GAELIC PLAYERS
 BAN SOLDIERS President DeValero Credits Soldiers for Fighting for
 Irish Freedom.

Dublin, July ---(Correspondenc ence of The Associated Press.) .)---The re- turned Irish soldiers are organizing themselves and asserting their right to be heard. In Cork 1t was pro posed by the local Municipal Music Committee to appoint as professor of traditional Irish music a Germa.n musician. There was no personal ob- jection to the professor except that ho was a German. but the soldiers would not have it. Four hundred Of them turned out in a body and pre- vented the appointment. The secre- tary defending their conduct in the press writes:
 We are faced with a grave trouble In the people who yesterday were. badly mislcd by hopes of German vic- tories and who have now taken I definite stand against us Without friends on any side and left to our own resources we find that In our country we are unwanted and insult ed. Only recently a membr of the Cork Board of Guardians proposed that no demobilized soldier or sailor get employment from that Board Tho Gaelic players have sean fit to ban us from their games. These and many similar incidents are not likely to improve our temper.
 ''To understand the feelings of our men these people should have heart to heart talk with some of their cCuntrymen who spent three or fur years in German prison camps. This is not a time to set Irishmen flying at each others throats over a job for a German professor
 The attitude assumed by Ramon De Valera, preside nt of the Irish re- public, towards the returned Irish soldier, has not been one of hostility He gave them credit for fighting for what they believed to be the right cause and the one they thought most likely to serve Irish freedom

sponded to call at 214 p. m. Mon.
day. The fire proved to be the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Strauss at 216
\. Washington.
The fire started from an unknown
cause and destroyed the entire roof
and part Of the upper story Of the
house At the time the fire CON :
nenced the occupants of the house
were at dinner and smelling the
smoke caused the alarm to be sent in.
The department quickly responded,
but the lack of water pressure caused
much Of the house to be destroyed.
The adjoining houses were also dam
aged.
a few household Furnishings We're
saved but considerable loss was sus-
tanned by the owners. which is par
tally covered by insurance.
AT times it looked as if other
houses would be burned. but this was
prevented by civilians throwing waAer
on them.
A large crowd assembled to wit
ness the fire and remained until the
end.
The house was owned by Mrs. Wal
ter Hardy.
