IRISH LEADERS HOLD
IMPORTANT Meeting
DISCUSS lRELAND's CAUSE AND
WELFARE-DELEGATES WE'RE
ALL LOYAL TO REDMOND
AND HIS FOLLOWERS.
Meeting Was Called by New York Mu-
nicipaI Council Of The United Irish
League Of America - Mostly
Attended by Irishmen Of New
York and New Jersey and
Scattered Sections.
(New York Advocate.)

The conference which was called by
the New York municipal council of
the United Irish League of America.
and held in the Hotel Netherland,
Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street,
New York, on Sunday afternoon and
evening, the Twenty-siXth inst, was a
success in every sense of the word.
In addition to the very large represen-
tation from the metropolitan district
of the city, as we'll as the adjacent
state OF New Jersey. many delegates
from different sections of the country
notably the New England states
were present
The invitation sent out by the coun-
Gil was Il very general one, and the
responses received We're most salts
factory. Those who were unable, ow-
ing to distance, or for other reasons,
to attend, wrote expressing their entire
sympathy with the aims and objects
set forth. and assuring the council they
were heart and soul with the Consti-
tutional movcment-despite all the at
tacks OF its malevolent and cowardly
assailants-as they still had the ut
most confidence in the wisdom, skill
and ability of John l.. Redmond and
the party, who had wrought such a
peaceful and bcncticent revolution in
Ireland during the last thirty years.
Extracts from these communications,
we hope. to be able to give later
The conference was under the di-
rection of N. Y. Municipal Council,
u. |. l.. Getting down to business
shortly after p. m., the chairman
briefly explained the purpose of the
meeting, which was for a friendly dis
cussion and interchange OF ideas OF
the momentous questions at present
confronting the land they all loved so
well. lie stated they had sketched
tentative program, which he asked Dr.
Coylc to explain.
The doctor received a very hearty
ovation, and proceeded to speak of the
three topics which they thought should
be considered and acted upon by the
conference. These were:
l. C0nscription.
2. The abr0gation of martial law.
3. The immediate operation of the
Home Rule bill.
Referring to the question of coll
scription, the doctor gave some very
interesting figures. He stated that
Ireland had sent over 100000 men to
the front. under the purely voluntary
system, that government admitted
10000 reflections while Mr. Redmond,
a year ago, stated there was 10000.
He claimed that on the governments
own estimate, over 100000 1rishmen
in Ireland, had offered themselves in
the cause of Great Britain, this num-

TRIBUTE TolFLAG IBY ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
(St Louise lobe eDmcrN

Il salute the Star Spangled Banner
under whose ample folds we all enjoy
our religious liberty
Scarcely anything in a sermon
could have been more thrilling, more
appealing to the emotions of an Amer
ican congregation, than were these
words when uttered by Archbishop
Ireland of St. Paul, on a recent Sun
day in the Old Cathedral in St. Louis,
Mo-, before a large congregation.
The words had the genuine ring of
an old soldier in them. Despite his 78
years, the famous and venerable met
ropolitan of St. Paul Strengthened to
his full height and appeared to be
standing 'at attention" before an i'm
aginary flag. Perhaps his memory
fitted back to the days of 1s61-65,
when he served as chaplain of the
Fifth Minnesota Regiment during the
SAfAl w All IuoI 1Idulolll, III
which the great Archbishop stands in
the national mind, seemed to quiver
in every syllable of the utterance.
After the Civil War Chaplain Ire.
land returned to Minnesota to become
rector of the Cathedral at st. Paul.
His talents were quickly recognized,
and in 1875 he became the Bishop
Coadjutor of his diocese. Nine years
later he ascended the episcopal throne
upon the death Of his superior.
What his fellow-townsman and in.
innate friend, James J. Hill, was in
the railroad world, Archbishop Ireland
was in Church Administration. Five
years after he became bishop his see
was elevated to metropolitan rank.
In 1889 Archbishop Ireland secured
a further development of the Cath
olic hierarchy in the great North
west country by the erection of the
new suffragan sees of Sioux Falls, St
Cloud, Winona, Duluth and Jamestown
A history-maker himself, Archbishop
Ireland preached sermon rich in his
torical "reminiscences. He gave an in
innate sketch of the history of the
Old Cathedral, now. technically the
Church of st. Louis of France. With
out manuscript or notes, the prelat,
revealed remarkable depths of histor

ALL U. S. MEN SOLDIERS.

Senator Chamberlain, of the Sen
ate Military Committee, intends to pre-
sent to Congress early in the session
a bill for universal military training
in some form as the solution of the
recruiting problem for the army and
navy. This bill would require military
training of all boys between 12 and
% years of age except those specially
exempted. The active division com.
posed of those between 1S and %
years would be known as the citizen
army and the younger corps as the
citizen cadet corps.

CAN IRELAND keep HER FOOD
OR MUST THE PEOPLE sTARvE?
They Have in Ireland the Worst
Potato Crop Since 1847.

Potato Crop Since 1847.
Planting was late, bad weather pre-
vailed all during the growing season,
the terrible blight was general, at
tacking nearly all varieties. The tu-
bers rotted in the ground during the
bad weather of autumn, and those
gathered were small in size. They
have been rotting in the pits, and the
poor are threatened with
FAMINE:
Potatoes sell for five dollars bar
rel, the poor have not work or money,
and the food shortage in England,
where the wages are good, threatens
to draw off the Irish supply. There
is no Irish government to control dis
tribution and prices or prevent export
in the interest of the Irish poor. If
potatoes follow the meat and grain
to England, Ireland will know again

FAMINE TIMES.

No Power To Stop Export.

AS soon as the position was estab-
lished, and it had been conceded that
the crop would be one-third to one
half less than last year, Captain Don
elan, M. P, brought the matter to the
notice of Parliament, where, in an
swer to his question, Mr.. T. w. Rus
sell said the anxiety did not warrant
the term failure" being used as yet.
He added that the Irish Department
OF Agriculture had not power to pro.
hibit the export Of potatoes. This did
not satisfy Captain Donelan, who
asked, "In view of the fact that pota-
toes are the staple food of the Irish
people, will the right honorable gen.
tleman recommend that the exporta-
tion of potatoes shall be suspended,
pending further investigation as to the
extent of the diesase?" Mr.. Russell
said the question must be regarded as
an open one. Ii it ever did arise it
would have to be very carefully con-
sidered. A later statement seemed
to indicate that if the power to pro-
hibit export was not with this depart
ment it might exist in another, where.
upon correspondent to a southern
paper asks: "How many deaths from
starvation will it take to convince
Mr.. Russell that it is necessary now?"
Mr.. Russells own figures for last year
indicate a crop of 3,71O,463 tons, of
which there were available for export
only 250,000 tons. If the crop has been
reduced one-third, then the potato
shortage amounts to about million
tons. If there is only half crop then
the shortage amounts to million and
a half tons? ....
Whose Food Is It?
When we remember that the diet of
the Irish poor is based on potatoes,
these figures are staggering.
The matter is complicated by two
further facts. 1t will be difficult. per-
haps impossible, to get potatoes in
from other countries with which to
make up the shortage. That is one
consequence of the state of war, which
has reduced the amount of available
shipping to point where the greatest
anxiety is now conceded in all the al.
lied countries. AS compared with
1913, the imports of all kinds of food.
stuffs into England in 1916 show a con.
siderable falling off. Secondly, Eng.
