in the world war
Mr.. Holman entertained his audience
with delightful and humorous des.
cription of his country, and then told
of the great influence America had in
the formation of the Australian repub-
lie. The remarkable thing about the
Australian situation, he said, was that
a people 10000 miles from the base of
war, a people devoted to agriculture
and in no way mixed up with Euro
pean politics. had taken such an inter-
est in the war. He said it was due to
the Australians Unborn love of freedom
and democracy. He paid an eloquent
tribute to the deeds of valor Of the
Australian troops, and said that the
result of the war would be purer
democracy for the world.
Speaking Of Ireland, Mr.. Holman
said:

emancipation of all the smaller na-
lions. They see Belgium today bleed
ing under the many wounds inflicted
by the aggressive power Of Germany:
they see Serbia trampled under foot BY

contribute in a small degree to the
emancipation and restitution Of both,
but they also see the people Of Ireland.
1T is the almost unanimous hope of
the citizens of Australia that tho

find means in the near future to re-
store to Ireland her nationality and to
free her people from oppression which
is to them equally unbearable although
far different in character. They hope
that while we are freeing Belgium and
Serbia by the sword we may free Ire
land by the appeal of Justice and of
reason. We Australians who have en-
joyed for many years the autonomy
under which we have felt our devotion
