PROTEST AGAINST
PEACE CELEBRATION
TRIsH-AMERICAN SOCIETIES OF
NEW YORK ASKS MAYOR TO
STOP 1T.
ANDY BACK OF IT
BECAUSE CARNEGIE FAvoRs
PEACE AND BECAUSE THEY
HATE ENGLAND THEY'RE
BELLIGERENT.

NEW YORK, May "A committee
has been appointed by the United
Irish American societies to wait upon
the members OF the board of education
and the mayor and induce them to
stop the Peace Day celebration in
the public schools on May 18th. The
societies met last Sunday and many
speakers denounced the peace day
scheme as IAN attempt to use the
educational machinery of the country
to forward an Anglo-American
alliance"
A. j. o'Boyie was chairman and
John Kenny. OF the Napier Tandy
club, was vice chairman. I'm the
pamphlet sent out describing the
peace day outrage" said Mr..
talk about Angio-Saxons and hands
across the sea- We look upon this aa
an insult not only to Irish-Americane
but to all Americans except anglo
maniacs. Unless the authorities take
action and stop this outrage we will
induce Irish-American parents to
keep their children out of school on
that day.
Blame It on Carnegie.
Andrew Carnegie is responsible
for this. for he is behind every peace
| movement. pays Olc Uldu CIV,
600 to continue agitation in favor OF
peace, and when an un-American plot
such as this is foisted upon us it is
time to prevent 1t going further"
Resolutions were passed at Sun
days meeting which denounced the
proposed celebration because It would
include a poem by Alfred Austin. the
English poet laureate. and one by
Oliver Wendell Holmes, which they
denounced as distinctly "royalist."
Thomas w. Churchill, president OF
the board Of education. was asked to
say something about peace day, He
referred the inquirer = to Abraham
Stern, chairman of the committee on
elementary schools.
This matter was not foisted upon
us by Andrew Carnegie or by his
paid agent" said Mr.. Stern. at was
thought out by Mr.. Maxwell, superin-
| tendent OF the schools. and the pur.
pose of peace day is to instiil in the
children a love of peace SO that rue.
tons like this will be averted wher
the children grow up.
why should the Irish worry
There is nothing in the peace day
celebration which should offend any
nationality. Carnegie has nothing te
do with 1t nor any of his paid agents

REFUSE TO QUIT
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN EXTEND
ED ANOTHER DAY BY UN-
ANXIOUS VOTE.
ASSOCIATION SHORT
NEEDS $500 TO MEET CURRENT
EXPENSES FOR THE FISCAL
YEAR WHICH CLOSES
TONIGHT.

Not since the day that the doors
of the new Y. NJ. c. A. building We're
thrown open three years ago has
there been as much interest in any
one event as in the membership
campaign, scheduled to close last
night. but which was extended for
another day.
The campaign has been exceeding
ly active. and has aroused a great
deal Of interest among the men Of
the city. Splendid work has been
done by the campaigners- The to-
tai at the close OF the evening was
3ss.
The record Of team work as re-
ported last night showed the five
leading teams as follows: Captain r.
c. Hawkins, 81; Aubrey J. Smith.
40; P. H. Gray, ~: George d. Rich
ardson, 81, and H. r. Northrop, 81.
BY unanimous vote the contest was
extended and will close tonight at
IL o'clock, with every prospect that
the total enrolment will go well past
the 400 mark. Today will be a great
day at the building, with a strong
probability that the attendance will
exceed even the day the new building
opened.
Fiscal Year Ends.
The books for the third fiscal year
will close tonight. The board of
directors and the executive force are
working hard to meet all current ex-
penses, and last night were within
three hundred dollars Of the amount
needed. The record for the year is
considered wonderful. as the MEM
bers are paying in dues and other
fully 90 per cent of the expenses. 1t
Is hoped that the 5000 needed to-
ward the eight per cent necessary in
contributions from the public spir-
tied citizens will be forthcoming.
Every worker is urged to do his
best for his team today, and show
up at the building tonight between
and II o'clock There will be a
lively time in the lobby when the
workers and new members get to-
gether.
All campaign records for one day
