Joseph G. Kelly. Of Dublin. Ireland. is
at the Arlington. Speaking Of the Irish
language. he said that great strides had
been made In the last fifteen years by
the Gaelic League OF Ireland FOR the ad-
vancemeut of the Gaelic Language. until
to-day the Irish language. art. and litera-
ture Is on g better footing than at any

I literature and language is superior 20

and the day IS not far distant when more
ground on which 10 upbuild this decision
