SAINT PATRICK
AND ERIN'S SONS
TAKE new YORK
KeIIys and Murphys
Parade Fifth Avenue
BY WALTER KIERNAN

NEW YORK, March II QN.S) .
An army on foot and horseback
captured Fifth Avenue today with
out firing a shot in the name Of
st. Patrick, who drove the snakes
out of Ireland and brought the
faith to Erin's green hills.
The Kellys marched and the
CohenS lined the sidewalks to
look on and cheer. So did the
Schmultzes and the Johnsons and
the Svensens and the ESpoSitoS.
And rain couldn't dampen the
marchers' ardor, because rain
makes the Shamrocks grow.
ERIN GO BRAGH"
Badly, boldly the Rumanians,
Slavs, LatinS, and sons of Israel
borrowed the patron saint of the
Irish (and welcome to him they
were), for the Irish have hearts
as big as buckets and there's
plenty of st. Patrick to go around.
Nearly the top of the morning

Skinner, the chain grocery man

scarf.

to the cop on the beat, and If you
pinned him down he couldn't tell
you whether you drink brath,
wave it or wear it like coat, but
he knew it was the thing to say
and said it.
CHEER NEW NATION
And the real sons Of the Irish
had cause to cheer, for over across
the water stood a new nation.
Though they cheered Ireland
with their lips and their hearts
and their souls, the IriShman you
said was not an American would
knock you down as quick as he'd
look at you.

They lined up early for the
parade. There must have been a
thousand Kerrymen, and a big
delegation OF Corkmen, too.
On q fine, big horse was Judge
William ODwyer, Of Kings Coun-
ty Court, and riding along with
him, Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Charles A. Hartnett on the one
side and Christopher c. McGrath
on the other.
And a thin smiling little man,
himself named Patrick, sitting in
his big chair there in front of st.
Patrick's own cathedral as he has
on this big day for years past, to
take the salute Of the marcherS

Admiral Leahy. who, being 4 naval
officer, spoke with the innocence OF

the horrible fact that Capt Ingersoll,

sion, had actually talked with British
oficials in London. apparently with
a view to seeing how much co-opera-
ton TWO extremely friendly powers
could give each other If 1t ever became
necessary. This led to such 4 storm
that the admiral told the House Naval
Affairs Committee that the Navy has
no understanding involving assistance
to be given Great Britain or received
from her.

ments." said the admiral Then Mr..
Hull. the Secretary Of State, sent a
