Ladies' Of Holy Rosay Society Con.
duct an Inspiring Rally.
Impressive Message Of Rev. Father
Cullen to the Soldiers, Sailors


and Nurses.
Monday evenings social and patrt-
otic rally at the Pro- Cathedral proved
delightful gathering from the view
point of the ladies of the Holy Ros-
ary Society, but it was also character
lied with impressive solemnity by the
earnest and stirring patriotic address
of Rev. Father E. Cullen, the pastor.
Never has the gifted priest spoken
with greater earnestness or sincerity.
It was evident that his words came
from the very depths of his heart as
he reused his auditors to the duties
and demands of the hour.
The sub-auditorium was crowded,
the front rows of seats being occupied
by delegation of about fifty young
soldiers in their khaki uniforms and
a bevy of uniformed nurses. The
Star Spangled Banner was sung in
chorus by the large audience as pre-
liminary to series of patriotic tab
leaux and the following numbers:
"Spirit of 1776," impersonated by
Edward J. Farrell as George Washing
ton, mounted duu Ill ColouldA SooIuAo' ,
the Spirit of 1861" represented by
J. B. Kelly as Abraham Lincoln and
Colbury Colby as General Grant, and
the spirit of 1917" represented by a
group of enlisted men in the various
arms of the service, including Helen
Donahue and Helen Burns, Red Cross
nurses. In this group was Uncle Sam,
impersonated by General G. McC'
Reeve. Then while the school girls
sang columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean," the flags fronting the stage
we're drawn back to disclose Colum-
bia, impersonated by Mrs. L. S. Don

peared in flag dances. A song, COM

Great Reception For
Mrs. SkeffingtOn

Seattle, Wash, May 27.-The recep
tion accorded to Mrs. H. Sheehy Skef
fngton at the Moore theater, Seattle
on Sunday evening, May 27, offered a
remarkable demonstration of true
American sentiment. The theater
which is the chief and representative
leading public auditorium in the city,
was filled with an audience unmarked
by any distinctive racial character. 1t
embodied every element of American
social life, and was in great measure
expressive of the respect entertained
for Mrs. Skeffington and her deceased
husband on account of their devotion
to worldwide demands for social re-
demption and regeneration. 1t was a
most enthusiastic reception, the audi
ence rising repeatedly to it's feet to
express it's acceptance and recognl-
tion of the charming wit and humor,
so distinctively Irish, with which the
lady brought home to them her views
of the different phases of the Irish
situation.
The rendering of ''The Soldiers of
Erin" by Mr.. McCloskey and of "Who
Fears to Speak of Easter Week." by
Mr.. Moran we're the chief musical
features of the reception. Mrs. Skef-
fington kept her audience occupied be-
tween applause and laughter for over
an hour.
The nearness of Seattle to the
Canadian boundary line, and the as
sumed predominance of the Canadian
element in it's population, as we'll as
the crudely unAmerican attitude Of
the local daily press, were without
avail.
BY rising vote and amidst much
enthusiasm the following resolutions
offered by Hon. NJ. j. Costello were
adopted:
WHEREAS the Chief Executive of
this nation, on April End, last, in urg-
ing on Congress our intervention in
the prevailing European war, declared
as follows:
1--WE shall fight for the things we
have nearest our hearts-for democ-
racy for the rights and lib
critics of small nations, for a univer-
sal dominion of right by such a. con-
cert of free peoples as shall bring
peace and safety to all nations and
make the world itself at last free;
AND WHEREAS, in a preceding
message to the Senate of the United
States, defining the peace which We
are interested in achieving as the out
come of such war, our distinguished
President further declared: "No peace
can last or ought to last which does
not recognize and accept the principle
that governments derive their power'
from the consent Of the governed" ant
that "henceforth inviolable security o
life, of worship and of industrial ant
social development should be guaran
teed to all peoples who have live
hitherto under the power of govern
ments devoted to faith and purpose
hostile to their own"
AND WHEREAS, these exalted. de

| clarations in our judgment with pecu
liar force to the concerns of the Irish
people. Theirs is one of the smaller
as it is one of the oldest, nations in
Europe. They have been and still are
governed without their consent. They
are and have been denied any and all
security of social and industrial devel.
! opment. They have long lived and
| they still live under the power of a
government devoted to faith and pur-
poses hostile to their own sentiments,
purposes and aspirations. They have
never ceased, even for single gen.
Grafton, for centuries, to maintain in
open and honorable warfare their
claim to Nationhood and to Freedom;
and they are today struggling for the
establishment in their land of a demo-
cratic republican form of government;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED, that we, American citizens,
devoted and faithful to the principles,
the constitution and the laws of the
Republic being assembled in public
meeting in the City of Seattle on this
9th day of May, 1917, respectfully
and earnestly urge upon the President
and Congress of the United States
that this Republic is morally and by
every consideration of national graft
tude and political principle obligated
to insist in all international councils
that the people of Ireland shall be
restored to their rights and liberties,
in accordance with the splendid ex-
position of national rights and liber-
ties laid down by President Wilson,
and that they be relieved Of the bur-
dens, the restrictions and the oppres-
sions of an alien government. That
we regard with disapproval any ac-
tion by our government or any of it's
divisions or departments which might
directly or indirectly countenance the
offer to the people of Ireland of any
substitute whatever for complete Ma
tional independence. That we pro-
test beforehand against the conclu-
sions of any convention or other body
called in Ireland under the auspices
of the British government, as proposed
by the British Premier to determine
the political or other demands of the
l
Irish people, since any such body can
only be designed to falsify those de.
mands>and to deceive the other races
of the world. No convention or other
body can express the will of the Irish
race in Ireland as to the government
of their own land unless it's member
ship is based in representation on the
entire adult population of the country
wholly irrespective of social, politica
or religious division.
u AND BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
that we heartily approve the Join
Resolution introduced in Congress b.
the Honorable VIM. E. Mason, now /;
member of the House of Representa-
tives and formerly representing tn
State of Illinois in the U. S. Senate
! and that we express our SINGER
thanks to that distinguished states
: man for the action taken by him.
