TAFT TO STAND ON IRISH SOIL

Quantity of It Is En Route from Ireland to Chicago. The American liner St Louis, from Southampton for New York, carried a quantity of Irish sods and hundreds of packets of shamrocks for the Irish Fellowship club of Chicaog. It is before this club that President Taft is to speak on St. Patrick’s day and the sods are for a square on which he is to stand so that he may speak from Irish soil when he delivers his address on the feast day of Ireland's patron saint.
