Mrs. Theresa Brayton, we'll known
in literary circles, also read poem
she herself composed especially for
this occasion.
Miss Anna e. McAuliffe. the chair
man, opened the meeting with a
clever little speech, and in the course
of the evening introduced the various
speakers and artists in her usually
gracious manner.
DR.. Gertrude B. Kelly, president
Of The United Irish Women Of New
York, who was the ardent originator
of the mass meeting, was warmly ap-
plauded when called upon by Miss
McAuliffe for a few words. In her
modest manner, however. this slim
little woman who was the very soul
of the Rally of Irish Women. and
devoted untiring energy to making
it a success. quietly demurred. say
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have no
ing merely:
voice for this big hall. SO in the
name of my mother, simply thank
you, one and ALL"
The following resolutions were
sub mitted to the meeting and unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS. The women Of Ire
land have for over seven hundred
years sacrificed what was dearer to
them than life itself, husbands. sons.
fathers and brothers, to the ideal
of ireland a Nation; and
WHEREAS. We concede to the
men of Ireland the right to differ
honestly among themselves as to the
best means Of attaining this ideal;
and
WHEREAS. The chief cause of a
lack of progress in Ireland has been
the presence Of an Ascendancy party,
acting as Sir Henry Maine says,
like a sore in the side," and as
Lecky says, "like a wound in which
a sword is turned round and round,
preventing its healing:" and
WHEREAS. The question of the
integrity of the nation transcends ali
politics and enters into the domain
of ethics; therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we exiled Irish
women in New York. in mass-rneet-
ing assembled-supported by thou
sands of our brothers, protest with
all our might against the proposed
partition Of the country; and be II
RESOLVED. That we are grateful
to all those who, by whatever means,
have forwarded the cause Of Irish
Nationality; and be it
RESOLVED, That no leader can
hope to retain our moral or material
support who sacrifices the ideal of
Ireland, Nation, to any political
exigency; and be it
RESOLVED, That our slogan be:
Ireland One and Indivisible-NO
NEW PALE!

Militant suffragettes are preparing
for an active campaign against Pre-
mier Asquith in the election through
which he will seek Endorsement of his
administration by reelection to the
house Of commons from East Fife.
The election was set for April Is.
This is done to avenGe themselves on
.Asquith for his attitade toward equal
suffrage.
The large body Of opinion, both in
side and outside Of sparliament, sup.
ports a settlement onsthe federal basis
and meeting Of ABOUT fifty members
of the house, representing both par
ties, was held to discuss such settle
ment.
The unionists are clearly alarmed at
the specter which tho Carsonite meth.
DDS have raised Of an election fought
on platform cry Of "The parliament
versus the army" Even the moderate
liberals are anxious to avoid such a
struggle, which. it II foreseen, would
loose flood Of passion exceeding even
that which attended the agitation to
abolish the veto poWSr of the house OF
lords.
This. it is believed, will lead to g
renewal of the negotiations between
the two front benches for the arrange
ment of an acceptable compromise.
The debate on the second reading o1
the home rule bill was resumed in an
atmosphere of unexpected calm. The

The Carsonites and their Tory al
lies have had it made clear to them
during the past week that the conces-
sions outlined by the Prime Minister
represent the very last word in regard
to the conciliation of Orange Ulster,
SO far as the Government and its SUP.
porters are concerned. All through
this Home Rule controversy, the tone
of the Carsonites and their allies has
been one of insolent bluff and trucu-
lent defiance. Every concession made
to them during the passage of the
Home Rule Bill through the House of
Commons has been hailed, not as
concession for the sake of peace, but
as a surrender inspired by fear. In
the very same spirit the concessions
outlined by Mr.. Asquith have been
received. In the speeches of Carson
and Bonar Law, in the Tory Press,
and by the Orange and Unionist Press
and spokesnnen In Ulster, this has
been the line of comment, and Car
son has indicated that it is now more
necessary than ever, that the threats
he has made during the past two
years should be put into execution,
and the so-called army of Ulster"
got ready to face the situation. The
concessions represent a tremendous
sacrifice on the part Of the Irish Ma
tionalists, and they have been as
sented to, not for tactical purposes,
but, as Mr.. John Dillon, MP, said
on Sunday at Newcastle-on-Tyne, in
peaceful settlement Of the Home Rule
controversy. Most of all do they rep.
resent heroic sacrifice for Ireland
on the part Of the Protestant and
Catholic Home Rulers Of Northeast
Ulster, who would be kept out of the
Irish Parliament for six years. But,
instead of welcoming the concessions,
the Carsonites and the Tory aristo-
Gratis have derided and rejected them,
and so 1t is taken for granted that
the Bill will now go through to the
Statute Book as 1t stands, and that the
Government will take the responsible
ity of meeting the Carsonite opposition
in the only way in which it can be
met in any constitutionally.governed
country.
