Chicago, Dec. 800 far as I have
been able to observe, the Irlshmen in
the different parts Of this country are
in entire sympathy with the Beers In
the war with England This SYM
PATTY they have chosen--and / think
the movement viii not go farther than
this-to manifest by passing resolu-
lions and providing money for the
equipment for hospital, ambulance and
surgical department
Th. IS the statement of John T.
Heating, president Of the Ancient Or
der OF Hibernlans and conspicuous
among the Irish Americans In this city
and elsewhere. The action taken by
the local order I'm Chicago and that OF
ST. Louis has not ended the movement
in this matter. The United societies
OF this city have determined TO hold
a mass meeting on January at which
time there will be speech making and
a general expression OF the feelings
Of the Irlshmen Of Chicago toward the
people OF the Transyaal.
And what is even more important
than this in the eyes Of those interested
in this phase OF the matter the ma
tlonal officers Of the Ancient order of
Hibernians are arranging for special
meeting shortly after the beginning Of
the year and probably just prior TO the
Chicago mass meeting II Is predicted
by Mr.. Heating that plans will be set
on foot by this conference looking to-
ward united expression OF sentiment
and a cooperation In the raising Of
funds among Irishmen everywhere in
the United States and Canada
1.-THE Irish In America took decided
stand on the war question at the very
start" said Mr. Heating, "and they
have made their position so plain that
there is no questioning their attitude.
They look upon the people Of the Trans
vaal as a race struggling for the sort
OF liberty for which the Irish race has
been fighting and working for so many
years.
Evidently, the Beers have men
enough and good men enough and am
munltlon enough What thew might
use is aid for the wounded We do not
want 10 come into conflict with the
laws OF the country and 1t is not de-
sired that there should be a conflict
with the federal authorities And so II
has been deemed best that aid be
furnished under the banner OF the Red
Cross Neither England nor the United
States can refuse to pass this emblem
beyond the lines and, undoubtedly the
Irish American sentiment will spend
itself In this way"

New York, Dec, 20.-Chas. d. Pierce,

viii have TO pay their own expenses,
which would amount TO about $500, in
getting to South Africa. The majority
OF the applicants are American SOL
dlers, who fought In the Spanish
American war"
Asked what he thought abut the way
things were going In South Africa, Mr..
Pierce said:
"The British can send 100000 troops
down there instead Of 100000 II they
want TO-, and still they won't get the
upper hand for year or two. II Is
not the side with the most troops that
is going TO win, but the side that shoots
straightest,"

we render them.
Like good servants, we are not
content unless we render to our
patrons the very best service posi-

While the support which we have
received in the past has been most
gratifying and would lead us to
believe that we have been giving
satisfaction, we are satisfied short
