A REGIMENT RAISED.
II Is the Initial Movement for the Irish
American Army.

The most widespread, formidable move
ment for the establishment Of an Irish-Ameri-
can army for the liberation of Ireland came
to head last week when the last company
was organized for u new Irish regiment of
New York City, which IL TO be the parent
organization OF many others TO be formed all
over the United States. The controlling
power back OF the movement is secret or
ganization Of the Clan-na-Gae The con-
nection between the clan and the military
organization is u complete chain. Every
member of the military organization must
first be a member Of the Clan-na-G Gael lodge.
Each lodge Is to organize military club and
each club Is to furnish q military company OF
men selected with the greatest care
Each club is made up Of men selected from
1, It's respective lodge by committee Of the
hsdge formed for that purpose. All these
clubs, as well as the regiment, are under the
direction Of a military board composed of
delegates from each lodge. By this process
only the most trustworthy men among the
enemies OF England are secured. Each ap-
plicant must be OF the Catholic faith. Each
member is sworn to uphold the Irish cause.
Money for the support OF the military Is fur
nished by the Clan-na-Gael lodges. II Is in
tended that each lodge throughout the coun-
try shall support military club. Organiza-
tlons on the same lines as the New York regi-
ment are in process OF formation In Brooklyn,
Boston, Philadelphia, several cities in Con-
necticut and Chicago. They are TO be begun
Mt once In other cities.
