RESOLUTIONS OF UNITED IRISH SOCIETIES

nC1ULulIUN0 Vi un
Whereas, We, the United Irish So
cieties of Chicago, on this, our fortieth
annual demonstration, again bid Cead
Mile Failte to the friends who meet
with US on each Lady Day observance
to celebrate the glorious victory of
our chieftains, O'Neill and O'Donnell,
at the battle of Yellow Ford. This
event is not writ large in the worlds
annals, but it shines resplendent in
the dark pages of Irish history, and
furnishes us a yearly occasion to re-
vive an ancient custom to reckon the
achievements Of the past, to renew
our determination for the future, and
to indulge in the never dying hope of
the complete independence of the Irish
nation.
At this time of world clamor and
changing criterions, when the minds
Of men are unsettled and established
customs are swept away, we declare
our continued adherence to the OBJ.
jects of this organization, which are
to promote the betterment of the Irish
race at home and abroad, the encour-
agement of the study of the Irish Ian
guage, or Irish history, music and art
and the ultimate independence of the
Irish people. We have consistently
advocated these principles in the past;
they are broad enough to receive the
support of all Irishmen, and we ask
our countrymen Of all affiliations to
join us in advancing these aims, so
that the various Irish organizations
in this country may form common
brotherhood and work to maintain
that high standard of morality among
our people, as exemplified by our
churchmen, teachers and public Off
Gals.
We congratulate the organizers and
members Of the Gaelic League on their
wonderful success in revealing the
buried treasures of Irish manuscripts,
and in showing to the world the by:
gone splendors Of Erin, when Irish
culture, religion and learning were
the only refining influences in a world
of darkness and ignorance. In this
great achievement we acknowledge
with gratitude the indebtedness of our
people, to such great German scholars
as thinner, Windisch and Kuno Meyer,
whose ability, perseverance and volun-
tary labors rescued from oblivion
priceless records of ancient Irish civil
lization and achievements.
We lament the death of that fear
less Irishman and uncompromising foe
of 1reland's enemies, jeremiah O'Don-
ovan Rosa, and we pray that the
dauntless spirit of that veteran patriot
may long survive to stimulate the
hearts of his countrymen. His life,
his sacrifices, and his heroic efforts
for Irish freedom are an example to
our people which forms a striking
contrast to the pro-Btttish policy of
1reland's present leaders, and their
aids and apologists in America.

ROBBERY of our good name, to claim
support which does not exist, and to
deceive their followers as to the atti-
tude of the Irish people of America
toward the European war. For this
reason be believe it necessary at this
time to reiterate our position on these
questions, therefore
BE 1T RESOLVED, That as we
stood from the beginning, so we now
stand opposed to the youth of Ireland
being offered up as sacrifice to save
the British Empire, and we protest
against the action of Irish leaders, in
striving to rescue their ancient enemy
from destruction, by Offering up to an
alien God of war, the youth and man.
hood of their country, her only treas
ures that remain.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED, That
as always, we favor a strict Ameri-
can neutrality in the war, and our
conception Of the word is neutrality
In letter and in spirit, a neutrality
that would refuse to profit by promot-
Ing bloodshed, and which would not
supply to one side the sinews of war
which cannot be supplied to the other,
neutrality which in dissemination
OF news and expressions of opinion
would scrupulously aim to give to
both sides the same fair treatment
by the press and public.
In the interests of humanity, we are
opposed to the sale of munitions of
war to the belligerents; we join with
fervor in the prayers for the speedy
restoration of peace; the Irish people
have never hesitated when duty call
ed; in the defense of their adopted
country they have offered up their
lives on a hundred fields of battle,
but we do not believe that such sacri-
fee must again be made, and we alb
hor the idea that this country can be
drawn into the conflict which has al
ready destroyed millions of lives, and
we hold as enemies of this Republic,
all who advocate, encourage or coun-
Itenance a catastrophe so appalling,
and,
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
That, as in the past, we have acknowl.
edged our indebtedness to our German
fellow citizens for aid and encourage
ment In our work, so we see no rea-
son to withhold our thanks now, when
their Fatherland is engaged in a ter
rible war; and as in the past, we
have denounced the English govern
ment for its persecution of the Irish
people and the ruination of their coun.
try, so now we see no violation of
neutrality in expressing our senti-
ments when the British Empire seems
tottering to its fall. And if, in the
dispensation Of Providence, the time
to write Emmet's epitaph draws near,
we may with the spirit of that illus.
trious patriot "look with complacency
on the destruction Of that perfidious
government" which caused his death
and from its ruins expect to see arise
an Irish nation, with her ancient par
lament restored, her industries thriv
ing, her schools and churches -four
ishing and her people, as of old ex.
hibiting to the world the greatest
achievements in culture, learning and
civilization.

Diseases Handed Down.

Noah and the other patriarchs didn't
have nearly as many different kinds
Of diseases to face, because they
hadn't enough ancestors to hand them
down a variety. Consequently their
constitutions were not constantly be-
Ing weakened as are ours today. For
example, there is no reference in very
ancient literatures to cold in the
head. The Greeks and Romans seem
to have been the first peoples to suffer
from 1t.
