MAYOR OF VERSAILLES
RECOGNIZES SINN FEN


Paris, Sept. 21.-The Irish Sim Fem
republic has been recognized by the
Mayor at Versailles but the recognizer
is in danger of losing his job.
1t happened in the course of re-
cent centenary celebration. Among the
foreigners who placed wreaths and
delivered speeches before the statue Of
General Hoche was an envoy from a
country which has been mentioned
quite frequently in dispatches lately as
the "de jure" Irish republic. The
Mayor replied with great enthusiasm
to the Sim Feiners grafton, lauding
"the new republic" which had grown
out of the war.
The British Embassy at Paris pro-
tested to the Quai dOrsay and the
Mayor has been asked to brush up In
his geography and explain how it hap
pens that he is unaware that Ireland
is still a part of the friendly British
Empire.
