UPH0LDS army
and Navy ACTS
President Harding Approves Re-
flsal to Participate in Irish
Parade ut Boston.

Washington, D. c., March IL
President Harding today approved
the action Of army and navy Off
GERS in not participating in the
Evacuation day parade in Boston.
The question Of using federal
troops in the parade came to the
presidents attention through q
telegram from John F. Harrington
of Boston, state president Of the
American Association for Recogni-
ton of the Irish Republic, who
asked whether "autocratic" rulings
by the army and navy officers in
command OF the troops were to be
backed up by the White house. In
reply George B. Christian, Jr., the
presidents secretary, sent MIR. Har-
rington the following telegram:
"Your telegram has been called
to the attention of the president
and he directs me to say in reply
that army and navy commanders
have authority to direct the forces
under their command. The gov
eminent raises no issue about the
fitness of your celebration of Evac-
uation day, and the spirit OF St.
Patrick's day is felt through our
country, but the naval and mill
tary forces of the nation can have
no part in any demonstration
which may be construed as influ-
encing the foreign relations Of the
republic"
The message was sent after Sec
rotary Hughes had been in confer
ence with Mr.. Harding for an hour.
During the discussion Secretary
Weeks also was called in and the
reports Of the military and naval
officers in direct charge Of the
troops at Boston are understood
to have been reviewed in detail
and . decision was reached.

There are two dangers, however, attached to pub

concerning them and map indicating their To-

it will bring the successful ap-

must be able to create his own
layouts for printed matter; he
must have thorough knowl-

this the tact which is indispen-

"Townley and his tribe opposed ap-
