Loaders Assert, However, Con
demnation Does Not Apply
to Irish People
NOT- AIMED AT REPUBLIC
,yr The Atnorlcnn T.eRinii of Pennsyl
vania Is firmly behind it resolution de
claring I'nmon dc Vnlern n trnitor,
despite mnny protest? received from
Irish societies.
Rut the resolution directed njininH
the so-cnllcd "president of the Iiish
republic" does not include, in its in
dictment' either the Irish people or the
Irish republic set up by the Sinn 1'ein.
Gporce V. Tyler, stnto romtnnndcr
of the legion, today mnde these points
clonr In nn cxplnnntion of the notion
taken nt the state convention Inst Sat
urday when the much -discussed resolu
tion wns ndoptcd.
"The American Lesion of this state
has officially Kono on record ns having
ndoptcd this resolution unanimously nt
a convention of representnthc dele
Bates from all posts of the fctnc, nnd
there is no intention of icsrindlni; it,"
the state commander said jrslerdny.
Sufficient evidence was presented nt the
X. convention, Mr. Tyler said, to warrant
such action.
Tinomas K. O'Neill, newly elected
president of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, was silent ns to whether his
society would ask tho Iiish members
in tho Legion to withdraw their mem
berships. "It was a ery regrettable incident:
the work of British propagandists, I am
sure. I cannot say now whether our
society will take any further action on
the matter aside from the resolution
, they adopted Sunday night deploring the
adoption of the resolution nt Ilarris
burg," Mr. O'Neill said.
The flo Valera resolution ns adopted
at the stato convention was unani
mously indorsed nt a meeting of Lieu
tenant Henry Houston 1'ost, of Ger
mnntown. nt a meeting held Monday
night. The membership of this pot

I ( MEN STRIVE FOR HOSPITAL
ADMIT NOAH GOT DRUNK,
BUT INSIST HE REPENTED
Clergymen Here Quote Bible in Support of Chemists' State
ment on Planting of a Vineyard When Flood Receded
Clergymen of this city agree wltji
the statement of Dr. Henry LefTmnu,
a chemist, thnr Noah became drunk
after he left the ark, hut, they point
out, he repented of it afterward .
Doctor Leffmnn in an address Inst
night at tho City Club, contrasted con
ditions in days long passed with the
! present day and asserted Noah's first
step after leaving the ark was to plant
n vineyard nnd his next to become
drunk.
The Itcv. Dr. Homer V. Tope, dis
trict superintendent of the Anlisnloou
League, snid today there arc plenty of
vineyards, but their ovisteuce gives no
one the right to get drunk.
"It might hate been all right for
Itohinson Crusoe to plant n vinejnrd
nnd drink wine made from the grapes
it produced," Doctor Tope declared,
"but Crusoe v,ns living alone. The
moment he found another human being
on the island he would be forced moinll
to consider the effect his drunkencs

would hnve on his fellow creature or
creatures.
"As far as Noah is concerned the
Ilible tells us he did drink wine to ex
cess, but it also tells us ho repented of
it afterward. If nnjbndy wanted to
hold up Nonh'.s wine-drinking ns nn
evample 1 think it would be a mighty
poor prop to lean on."
Sol row (illicitly resulted from Noah's
Indulgence in the feiniented juice of the
grape, according to tho Hcv. Thomas I
V. MoKonty, who, as supeiintentlent j
of the lioNOtu; Mission, lias seen hun
ilrcdsfif modern instnnces of the effect
of liquor.
"The Itlble tells us." Doctor Mc
ICenty said, "Mint Noah's son Ham
laughed nt him when the son discovered ,
the patriarch's condition. Thereupon j
Noah placed a curse on his son. Hut j
his other sons sympnthled with him ,
ami covered him. The incident of'
Noah shows that even in those dnjs '
indulgence in strong drink did harm." I

of the Public Lducation and Child La

"Some statements," he said today,
"can be accepted as facts; for example,
that more than 20,0(10 school children
nre constantly on pnrt time owing to
lack of school rooms; thnt Inst jcar
a constantly changing group of school
children, averaging fiOOO in number,
were without teachers; that there is

branches of the school set vice; that
ninny school buildings are unlit Mr ,

"On the other hand, there are high j
