ONE IRISHMAN’S STAND

Evansville, Meh. 17. —John J. Nolan, postmaster of Evansville, in an address at the luncheon of the Evansville Rotary club Tuesday, took a stand against “divided allegiance.” Mr. Nolan said: “It is an outrage to this country that De Valera, president of the Irish republic, was permitted to come to this country under his assumed title. Had I been mayor of New York I would never have permitted De Valera to lead the parade on the night of the floating of the Irish republiKloan as he did in New York by the consent of Mayor Hyland. In former years I celebrated on St. Patrick’s day. Today I celebrate on two days —Armistice day and the Fourth of July.”
