and leaned out until her strange ap-
pcarance attracted the attention of

her feet bound together. There was
a towel bound about her face with

right, 1921).--President Harding has
had his first taste of the Irish prob
lem and has met the issue squarcly
by declining to permit the United
States Government TO be drawn into
any action that might be construed
as a recognition Of the Irish Republic.
Mr.. Harding received II telegram
couched in terms 50 dIspleasing and
so caustic that he did not answer it
in person, but directed his secretary
TO sign the reply. The message, which
was sent by John f.. Harnpun, state
President OF the Massachusetts Cuun-
Gil OF the American Association for
the Recognition of the Irish Republic.
read as follows:
ITO President Harding:
Gen. Ruckman and Admiral
Dunn, in press statements to-day
say that to permit troops to
march in partisan demOnstra-
tions, especially one unfriendly to
another nation, would be a Sc
riuus breach of international
amity. Evacuation Day, March
II. is a local demonstration of
loyalty and patriotism that no
devotee of Toryism, no matter
how exalted his position, can
stop. Are these officials Ameri-
cans or satellites Of foreign gov
ernments?
"Ruckman and Dunn asked the
officials Of the Evacuation Day
parade If the American Asocia-
ton for Recognition Of the Irish
Republic intends 10 participate
in the parade. When they were
told Yes, they warned against
the parading with them of men
in United States uniform, wheth-
er in service or rcservists. Are
they autocrats OF IS this a de
mocracy? They say no authority
can revoke this decree. 1t is for
Washington to say whether they
are supreme. AS Americans we
demand action in the name OF
125,OOO citizens Of our State, now
and the revocation of orders
from Ruckman and Dunn"
