these United States, men of the Irish
race were most important factors in
the revolution. There are mentioned
General John Sullivan, the great
Montgomery, James O'Brien and his
sons, and the father of the navy,
Commodore Barry. These were the
men who devoted their lives and for
tunes to the achievement of this
country's independence. Need we
mention that, under the Spanish gov

country, Copinger, White. O'Neill and
O'Reilly? These are the men who

eve contemplate that Ireland, in
the beginning of the 18th century,
had population of eight and half
millions, and under the sway of alien
rulers of Ireland, the population has

readily see that the Irish had griev-

enlightened age, that up to the year
1893 the schoolmasters who taught
the Irish race were subject to perse-
cution, even death, under the penal
laws. But where one in a family
would desire to adopt the religion OF
the state, he could depose his brother
and relatives of any right to real
property, and, yet under this condi-

great and numerous sacrifices fol

the speeches began with a joke. D.

sided gracefully. The POSTMASTER
read a copy of a telegram sent sew

Ancient Order of Hibernians to Pres

100000 Irishmen in America of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians to the
United States in any crisis that
might arise, that they would fight for
the Stars and Stripes against every
foe, even though that foe be their
native Ireland.

The first speaker introduced was

The Very Rev. Walsh said in part:
'The Irish heart tonight beats as

Irish are scattered over the face OF

Rev. Millaley.
Rev. John Millaley was the next
speaker on the program. He stated
that the Irish have set high stand
ards of morality for the world, and
that the Irish had done much to make
the world a happier and a better
place to dive.
Hon. J. ]. Sullivan, the principal
speaker, concluded the program with
the following address:
j. J. Sullivan.
"People who would look to a pos
terity must look backward to their
ancestors These are the words of
the great Irish orator, Edmond
Burke.
eve are, tonight, looking backward
so that we may look forward intelli
gently. We are gathered here to COM
memorate the great Light of the
West St. Patrick, as men of our race
have done for fourteen hundred years.
AS we look back it seems like the
dawn of history, back beyond the
Tudors and Stewards, the Norman IN
vasion of Ireland and the conquest
of England, back beyond Alfred, the
great, Charlemagne and the mythical
King Arthur, to the time when the
power of the Roman Empire was tot
tering to a decline. It was then that
the great Light of the West per
formed the remarkable achievement
of converting a nation, peaceably, to
| the religion of which he was a min
lister, when ne met the king of Ire
land, the leaders of the Irish nation.
1t was meeting of the civilization
OF Rome and that of the Celts. The
! Irish nation accepted his religion,
but not his civilization, for a thou
sand years afterwards, the Celtic
customs and Breton laws flourished
in Ireland
"The mission of st. Patrick is the
only case which is furnished by his
tory where any man has converted
an entire people from the religion
of their ancestors in a peaceable
manner, and without force and the
use of the sword. He stands pre-
eminent as "prince of peace" There
is hardly another individual whose
name and works have been so ex-
tensively admired and celebrated
throughout the ages which have
elapsed since his time, as his have
been.
''In all of the visitations and tribu-
lations that have affected the Irish
nation, they have never swayed from
their fidelity to the memory of St
Patrick and the religion he taught.
"In the historical pages, as they
record the march of ages we ar,
struck by the great migrations tina
have taken place with the Irish race
First, at time when the entire west
ern civilization seemed to be. threat
ened with determination, the disciples
of st. Patrick spread those over tn,
nations of Europe and carried tn
faith of st. Patrick. Among man,
others are Columakil, COLUMBIA, st
Gall, in Switzerland; Virgillius ant
ST. Boniface, in Germany; the latter
although an Englishman, having
graduated from an Irish college. ST

compensation for the six months more
than $4,000.
Last December the Santa Fe made
distribution of earnings on a basis of
10 per cent of the yearly wages, the
payment amounting to over $2,7OO,00O
On the same basis for six months, the
new payment will amount t. over ST.
100000. In December no employee re-
cefvi1g $4,000 year was allowed ex-
ira wages. Now the limit has been
raised to $4,000.
Affects 1900 Here.
Today's bonus order from President
Ripley will affect nenrly $500 men
and women in the Topeka offices and
shops of the company The total
amount which the employees here will
receive is conservatively estimated by
OFFICIALS of the road at nearly 5000,
Bonus checks for the 10 per cent of
their aggregate wage for the first six
months of the year will be handed the
employees as soon as possible after
June 80. the date the period covered
in the order expires.
E. L. Copeland, treasurer for the
Santa Fe, said today that he hoped TO
have the money in the hands of the
would be the earliest possible date that
the payrolls for the different depart
ments could be made out.
The number of employees on the en-
tire santa Fe system affected by the
order totals 20, 900 or more In round
figures the amount to be paid them
under the bonus order will aggregate
$780, 900. Because the order raises
the maximum wage mark of employees
affected. the new order will affect sew
eral hundred more men than the one
last Christmas.
New Policy Permanent?
Issuance of another bonus order to-
day was interpreted by officials and
employees to mean that the Santa Fe
expects to make the policy permanent
until the cost of living and the amount
of business being done by the road
decrease.
Among those not receiving bonuses
under today's order are the railway
trainmen and all other union men.
The trainmen recently won a fight for
increased pay wherein they threatened
to take part in q nationwide strike If
the demand was not granted.

fact in certain high circles.

With Marshal Joffre's suggestion
for quick dispatch of American troops
to France as a spur to immediate eff

conference of the allies opened the
seventh day of its session today The
commissioners met with the memory
of their impressive visit to George

sympathy.
All major questions of America S

settled as the French, British ana

bled today. This governments ideas
on International political questions, in
Guiding President Wilson's recon-
mendation that the Irish question be
settled quickly in the interest of world
democracy, have been placed before
the commissioners and their answer is
known. The broader phases of Amer

agreed upon. Today's conference be-

What nations shall get the half bill
lion dollars a month Americans will
supply, when and in what numbers
the first 500, 900 men shall be sent to
the battle front, the production and
mobilization of food for our fighting
allies, and similar questions will be

French and British war experiences.

Every large southern city and cities

The French commission will be en-
tertained at reception given by Sec
rotary Lansing at the Pan-American
union building tonight. The British
commissioners will attend. The three
groups of war experts planned several
divisional conferences for today.
Many Urge Roosevelt Plan.
1t developed today that both Eng
land and France have stressed the
need of Americas food and money at
once, but have avoided asking great
number of troops at once for fear of
affecting the course of President Will
sons Consumption bill in congress.
1t is even thought possible-so great
i is the European allies desire to have
the Stars and Stripes on the battle
line-that Colonel Roosevelt himself
might be the man to put it there. This.
however, is speculation merely, on the
part of those who speak unofficially.
Definite settlement of this troop oues-
ton is expected shortly.
