JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 81
(FNS).-Statewide distribution OF

Medal for former Army person
mel began this week, Colonel r.
C. HOWE, commanding officer of
the Florida military district, an
nounced yesterday.
Nearly 500 posts and chapters
of the American Legion, Veter.
ans of Foreign Wars, Disabled
American Veterans, Jewish War
Veterans of the United States,
and Military Order of the World
Wars throughout the state, and
the National Guard are cooperat-
ing with the district to make
rapid distribution possible.
Records show that more than
100000 Floridians are eligible for
the Victory Medal and for that
reason we have asked the vete-
rams organization and the Nation
al Guard to help issue the
awards, rather than involve the
veteran in applying by mail to
the few Army installations in the
state, Colonel HOWE said.

The strongest impression one
obtains in the Emerald Isle, is
the strong feeling which exists
concerning what the Irish in Fire
call the Partition of Ireland"
When Lord George settled the
Irish question with canon De-
Valera, the Irish leader, it was
finally decided that Fire should
comprise some $4,000 square
miles, by far the major portion
OF the island, while Northern Ire
land which now has a parlia-
ment of its own, would be made
up OF six northern counties.
about 5000 square miles, includ-
ing the large city of Belfast. The
reason for this was principally
religious, for in Fire, the popu-
lation is about SO per cent Catho-
he, while in the north the pre-
dominant religion is Protestant,
principally Presbyterian. The po-
litical cleavage in the island is
primarily on the line of religion.

in bombs" as one chap informed
me). 1t was the question session,
and the deputies were question
ing Prime Minister DeValera on
the possibilities of including
Northern Ireland in Fire.
But on the other side of the
border, the attitude is quite as
strongly opposed to union with
Fire, as Fire is for it. The North
ern Irishman feels that Fire "let
the Empire down" by not joining
IN the war with Britain, and
there seems to be some doubt
as to just where Fire stands.
Southern Ireland has abolish

very foundation of all our per-
sonal loyalties" as a Northern
lrishman described it,, but on
the other hand, the British King
signs the credentials of all the
diplomats of Fire. 1--WE feel" he
