Mr.. J. Mccarthy, of Bangkok, Siam. 1t
comes through the chairman of the Irish
party (Mr. Justin Mccarthy It whom

an open handed, generous supporter Of
the battle of our people for happy homes
and self-rule; and he is conspicuous
example OF the fidelity of the Irish exile
to the land of his birth.
