REVIVAL OF IRISH NATIONAL
LIFE AS RESULT OF WAR

DR.. Kuno Meyer, the noted Gaelic
scholar, in recent lecture, predicted
the revival Of Irish national life as a
result of the European conflict. "Ire-
land,' said the noted speaker, Twill
be better politically at the end of the
war with keen pride and interest in
all that concerns her national life."
that the revival of patriotic
interest throughout the countries Of
Europe would be felt in Ireland, DR..
Meyer declared before San Fran.
cisco audience that Ireland would
strive to keep within her own borders
the genius Of her sons and daughters.
THE mighty war that is now being
waged in Europe" he declared, has
taught us many new things. 1t has
abused some Of our old prejudices and
opinions. 1t used to be commonly
said that race was the main factor in
drawing nation to nation, and our en-
peror, whom may God bless, was
never tired of repeating the old say
ing that blood is thicker than water
But now we find Germany on the
one side, and other Slavic peoples,
Serbia and Russia, on the other. On
the other hand, the sympathies of
America are largely with the English
and the sympathies of the French
speaking people are with France, and
of the German-speaking people with
Germany. Therefore, it is not race.
but language, that is the more potent
factor.
$50 the revival of Irish national
life will be altogether the return to
that ancient language which for thou
sands Of years has marked hers a
separate and distinct nationality
among the nations of Europe. AS a
great lrishman has said: To lose
your native tongue is the worst badge
OF conquest To have lost entirely
the national language is a sign that
the fetter has worn through. Fortu-
nately for Ireland, it has not come to
that"
DIR. Meyer expressed his ardent
hope that Ireland after 700 years of
exploitation by the English, was now
about to come into her own and be-
come nation with all its resources
developed and with distinct civiliza-
tiOn of its own.
"On the one hand you have an Ire
land with its fertile soil turned into
great grazing land, with it's forty
spacious harbors, the finest in all west
ern Europe. lying idle. and laborers
largely an uneducated and listless peo.
pie, ani where even the better classes
are ignorant and careless of the re.
sources of their country, accepting
their lot as if it had been so decreed
by God.
"Still, ! am thinking and dreaming
OF an Ireland, rich as God made her,
having 100000 people, instead of
about 100000, trading as she once
did with all the countries of the world,
developing her industries and making
her name famous once more in learn
Ing and science, keeping within her
own borders the genius of her sons
and daughters, and clinging to that
ancient and beautiful language of
| which ] have spoken. Such an Ire.
land existed once. Few know it. Her
history has never been written. Her
history and literature, and what she
has done, England has tried to de.
stroy and has done it's best to wipe
out all record Of"
