be found among the strikers. The typi-
cal American of Irish lineage is true to
his country, as he is true to his God
His unfailing trust in Divine providence
inspires faith in Americas greatness.
The ideals for which this country actu-
ally stands are the very ideals for which
Ireland has ever hoped
Recent developments have shown" he
said. that, even though the Irish had
taken sides in regard to the European
powers engaged in the present war, yet
all lines of cleavage practically disap-
peared Immediately our own country be-
came involved. AS long as the United
States acted in the capacity of a mere
spectator, the American of Irish In
stincts felt perfectly free to manifest
his leanings toward one side or the
other But the instant the United States
was threatened with being involved. the
Irish in America, with one or two not
able exceptions, were conscious of but
one right and one obligation-to yield
willing and undivided allegiance to
the Stars ana Stripes.
