Claims Submarines Run Secretly |
From u s. to Irish Port
Two submarines, flying the Irish
flag, maintain a regular
under-sea passenger service between
this country and Ireland for officials
and agents of the Irish republic,
Captain Chanley, wounded veteran of |
the Sixty-ninth regiment of New York /
reports. He is also secretary of the |
New York council of the American
Association for the Recognition of the
Irish Republic.
Eamonn De Valera, president of |
the Irish Republic" arrived in this
country in 1919 in an Irish sub
marine, Chanley declares, and left
secretly for Ireland several months
ago in the same fashion. Several !
other Irish dipomats have patronized
the same line, he says. The line is
still in commission and "functioning
regularly" although he refused to
give any details about the present
whereabouts of the vessels. There
are others available for the same
traffic in case of any rush of business,
he asserted.
Donal O'Callaghan, lord mayor of
Cork, who disappeared from the
United States after he had been given
until June to reship for Ireland as a
seaman by the department of labor,
is said to have returned to Ireland by
the submarine route.
