NATIONAL ANTHEM
IRISH GOVERNOR’S ATTITUDE.. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). LONDON, June 8. A piquant position has arisen in the Irish Free State, through an official attempt to dispense with the playing of the National Anthem as*a greeting to Governor-General McNeill. Since Mr McNeill's appointment, the aide-de-camp has requested tlie playing of “The Soldiers’ Song.” ~; A hand composed of ex-service men refused to comply, while the Students’ Committee refused to permit “The So'diers’ Song,” at the Trinity College races unless the Anthem was played first. This was not acceptable, so Gov-ernor-General McNeill is not attending the Trinity College races, despite an assurance that the Anthem is a matter of etiquette throughout the Empire.
