here for other purposes than the accom-
plshment of the liberty Of Ireland. 1t is
physically and morally impossible for the
English press to tell the truth. (Cheers)
We do, however, desire to tell Britain and
France and Russia, and every other pos
sible enemy of Britain, that we are in this
fight to stay. (Cheers.) We are not in for
one year or three, but for the war. Gre

are to be beset by whole battalions of
English spies. We do, not care If all Scot

LONDON. Sept. 25.-The Pail Mall Gazette
this afternoon prints a leader on the sub
iect Of the Irish Nationalist convention at
Chicago. The Gazette expresses the opin-
ion that the so-called new movement is
very like the old one. which was temporar-
ily crushed by the revelations in connecuon
with the murder of DIR. Cronin, at chicago,
and the object of which, ii asserts, was
ciaarlv prcyen to be Doodle and not In
denendence of ireland. I'VE can anord 10
smile at Mr.. Finertys statements, says
the Gazette. "but il the Irish Will 1ormu-
late their demands and asitafe Tor reuress
ir the manner adopted by EnSiishmen tney
will find England more than ready TO meet
them half way. Threats only stiHen our
back ana dull our hearing.
