strenuous campaign to raise the amount
Of Washington's promised contribution to
the budget being subscribed in America
for the Irish parliamentary fund 4
meeting was held in Good Samaritan Hall
last night for the purpose of laying out
this campaign and 10 receive promised
donations and returns from collection
books in the hands of members
Many plans were suggested by the
speakers, the most favored of which was
TO obtain the services OF prominent local
Irish lecturer, TO give a lecture in one
of the theaters On "a subject relating to
Ireland. II was set forth that the chief
season why the movement for which the
league stands is not more ably and gen
er0Usly supported in this city is a gen
eral misunderstanding of it and a lack
of knowledge Of facts and conditions in
Ireland to-day and of the history tradi-
tions, accomplishments, and civilization
of its people and their glorious past, when
they led the civilization Of the world
Those who took active part and spoke
on the subject last night were President
