THE IRISH WAY

THE IRISH WAY The world is all of dither, Things are thus and so, But we ali know an island Where still the shamrocHs grow, Taken by and very large, Affairs are the worst ever seen, But there's an island we all know, It remains the same bright green. Minds grow warped and bitter, Some can't even manage a smile, But they take 1t calm and easy Over on the Emerald Isle. The world Is all of dither, Bombs sound their terrific warning, But the happy way is the Irish way Saint Patrick's Day in the morning!

 It's the greatest ever seen What big day for the Irish
 And the wearing of the green. They march along with banners
 Like boys of sweet sixteen As the band plays God Save Ireland

 What all the people say They've moved the old sod over
 To the good old U s A. Fifty thousand Irishmen
 Are marching proud and gay They honor Fires Patron Saint
 On good St. Patrick's Day. He blessed the sod they trod on
 Took all sorrows, tears away St. Patrick loved the Irish race
 They still love him today. There they march so proudly on a Banners, bands they play hec save dear old Ireland

Meanwhile it was reported that
Petain would address the nation by
radio Sunday. This was not con-
firmed.
The radio broadcast came amidst
new campaign by Paris news
papers against the Vichy govern.
ment, and increasing reports of Ger.
man insistance that Pierre Laval
deposed premier and foreign
minister, be returned to the cabinet
From Paris it was reported that
Fernand de Brinon, the Vichy gov

phoned Petain a summary Of con
versations he has had with Otto
Baetz, Adolf Hitler's ambassador te
Paris. In these, it was said, the Ger

collaboration was possible unde1

"Duplicity"
According to the reports, the Ger
mans complained Of "duplicity'' BY
the French government in it's rela

stand it would hold strictly to the
terms of the armistice instead OF
negotiating for alleviation of some
of its more stringent clauses.
The chief German objection tc
the present political climate in
Vichy is Petain's failure to take
Laval back into the fold after an
nouncing that their misunderstand-

as saying he had been unable tc

For a quarter century, as admin

outstanding Washington figure. He
was retired from official life in 1888
when defeated in the democratic
primary by Sheridan Downey, now
the junior California senator, and
became chairman of the American
President Line.

McAdoo was born near Marietta
Ca, shortly before Gen. William T.
Sherman's army swept across the
plantation and left the McAdoC
family in poverty. The elder McAdoo
was judge, educator and soldier
and his wife was a ts Tented writer.
William Gibbs, their fourth child
named for his father, studied law
for a While at the University of
Tennessee.
His first major achievement was
the financing and construction OF
the initial Hudson river tunnels. AT
about that time, he met the Prince
ton university president, Woodrow
Wilson, and the growth of this
cquaintanceship led to McAdoo's
appointment to the latters cabinet
With the outbreak of war in Eu-
rope McAdoo encouraged the build
ing of a huge American merchant
marine. When the United States
entered the war, it was his job to

bonds. Later he also administered
the railroads, taken over by the gov.
ernment during the emergency.
Twice A Candidate
In 1924 and 1928 McAdoo was a
candidate for the democratic presi
Dental nomination, and each time
was defeated by party factions LED
by Alfred E. Smith who won the
1928 nomination.
In 1882 when Smith was again g
candidate, McAdoo swung the con
