ALDERMEN VOICE
SENTIMENT OF CITIZENS

Alderman Bastis requesting the PreSi-
dent of the United States to use his
best efforts to secure for ireland self
government was referred to me.
herewith submit the following
resolution, with the recommendation
that same be adopted by your Honor
able Body:
RESOLVED, That we, the members
of the City Council, of the City of
Minneapolis, Mimi, realizing how im-$
portant it is that every agency should
be solidified in support of our country
In this great war, and believing that
to secure and safeguard the rights Of
small nations as set forth by our
President in his speech making pro-
clamation is one of the greatest fac
tors in attracting to ourf support the
best efforts of Intelligent humanity,
both in this country and throughout
the world, Therefore,
BE 1T RESOLVED FURTHER, That
we respectfully petition the President
of the United States to use his best
efforts with the government of Great
Britain to obtain for the people Of
Ireland that measure of liberty and
self government to which they are en-
titled by the usages of nations. We
believe that immediate authority to
the people of Ireland to establish for
themselves and by themselves a gov
ernment of their people would con-
vince the world of the sincerity of
Great Britain and her allies to secure
the freedom Of small nationalities, and
such conviction would go far TO help
us win this World War.
Resolved Further, That certified
copy of these resolutions be duly for
warded to the proper city officials to
the President of the United States.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL MEAGHER,
Committee.

dents to be prepared to make sacri-
fees for their country and to have n
kindly feeling toward the German ma
ton which he said had given some Of
our best literature and produced many
Of orr greatest scientists. and philoso-
piers. The present war, he declared,
was not onc with the German people
but was Il war with Prussianism.
At the flag raising the entire stu
dent body sang "The Star Spanglcd

MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL
ADOPTS RESOLUTION FAVOR
ING IRISH FREEDOM.
Councilman Michael Meagher Submits
Report and Resolutions-Unanl-
mously Adopted.

Minneapolis, the Ten Million Dollar
Liberty Bond subscribing city, has
taken her stand alongside of the in
Vulnerable civic bodies of the United
States in adopting without voice of
dissent a report and resolutions sub
mitted by Alderman Michael Meagher
of the Third Ward. These resolutions
now become matter of public record
and express the opinion of the metro
polls of the northwest on a vital ques-
ton of international politics. They
will add cumulative force to the tidal
wave of American sentiment evoked
by the suggestion of Lord Northcliife
that Ireland can have self-government
if America will but ask for it. The
declaration of the governing body of
the worlds greatest grain market will
undoubtedly command the attention
of those who are charged with the
duty of adjusting the Irish difficulty
1t is all the more Indicative of general
American sentiment from the fact that
it emanates from a public body having
but few members who are of Irish
atliiation by reason of racial consid-
erations Alderman Meagher is there
fore to be cordially felicitated upon
the clear-cut character of the resOlu-
tions. and the unanimity with which
they were adopted.
Here are the report and resolutions,
as adopted at the meeting of the Coun-
Gil, Monday, May %, 1917:
To the Honorable City Council, City.
Gentlemen: At the meeting held
May 18th, 1917, a resolution offered by

sistance and advice up to- but not be-
! yond, the time when the people of
Ireland shall adopt constitution; but
tho United States shall not attempt
70 mold the course of the Irish nation
and shall assume no responsibility for
the lew government to be erected in
l1eland; and be it further
RESOLVED, That upon the adopt
ion of constitution by the people of
Ireland, if said constitution shall erect
republican government, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is hereby author
lied to purchase bonds of the Irish
government SO established, provided
said bonds bear interest at not less
than three per centum, to the amount
Of $i00,000,000, and to reimburse the
Treasury by the sale of United States
an even interest.
Chicago would seem to be the very
heart Of America as far as sympathy
for Ireland is concerned. Medill Nc
Cormick, who, like Mr.. Mason, is rep
resentative-at-large from Illinois, and a.
Chicagoan, was early in the field with
proposal to insist on the liberation
Of Belgium and Servia, and the grant.
ing of self-government to Poland and
ireland. While "self-government"
might mean independence or really
adequate measure of home rule, there
is in this resolution a suggestion of
discrimination, hint of timidity
Uuh hn
Tended. Representative Thos. Gala
CHER of the Eighth Illinois, which is
in Chicago, has introduced a resolu.
tion for Irish independence, to be Sc.
cured in the peace conference at the
| end of the war. Representative VIM.
]. Cary of Milwaukee, Wisconsin,, is
the author of parallel resolutions for
the freedom of Ireland, Finland and
/ the South African Republics, and
Representative James Gallivan of
Massachusetts, at the opening of the
session re-introduced. his resolution
! which provides that Ireland be repre-
sented at the peace conference at the
close Of the war and granted inde-
Iendence
Finally comes Mr.. Mason with q
carefully-matured measure making the
liberation of Ireland a definite and
declared purpose of the war; imposing
that condition upon all approximations
and loans, directing the securing of
that result in the peace negotiations
and outlining plans to help the new
Irish government to get on it's feet.
Mr.. Mason, Mr.. Mccormick and Mr.
Cary are Republicans; Mr.. Gallagher
and Mr.. Gallavin, Democrats. Mr.
Gallagher, Mr.. Gallavin and Mr.. Cary
are Catholics.

also be conferred upon all members
of the order eligible for them. 1t is
estimated that there will be at least
two hundred candidates to receive the
degree. The Degree Team has been

Irish Convention
to Settle Question
Prospects Improved by Discussion in
Parliament, Says the "Freeman's
Journal"-Unionist Doubts.

Dublin, May "a, via London.-The
Irish Times, commenting on the pro-
posed convention, says it is folly to
think the recent course of Irish poll
tics has fitted individual Irishmen for
the supremely difficult task of leader
ship. The Irish Unionists do not pre-
tend to be hopeful, it says, although
they refuse to take the responsibility
for closing their ears to the Govern.
ment's appeal.

prospects for the convention have been
improved by the discussians in Parlia.

accepted by Irishmen as the first reallv
hopeful beginning of the end of that
question.

by the Kaleidoscope changes in Brit

FREE IRELAND is ASKED
BY CONGRESSMAN MASON

The nationwide demand that the
United States shall secure the liberia
tion of Ireland. as one of the results OF
our entrance into the war, has re
suited in number of Congressional
resolutions looking to that end, OF
which the latest and most comprehen.
sive is sponsored by Representative
William E. Mason of Illinois, and reads
as follows:
MAY IA, 1917-Resolved by the
Senate and House of Representatives
of the United tSates of America in
Congress assembled, That Ireland, a
distinct and historic nation, anciently
possessed of freedom, in the opinion
of Congress and of the American peo-
pie, of right ought to be free and in
dependent; and be it further
RESOLVED, That as the Irish ma
tion has contributed a very numerous
and valuable element to the American
Nation, and as the United States is
committed by American traditions
and by recent utterances of the Pres-
dent to the principal of freedom for
small nations, the liberation of Ireland
from all foreign domination is hereby
declared one of the objects for which
the United States fights in this pres
ent war; and all money hereafter
voted by Congress for the prosecution
of this war, and all loans hereafter
authorized to be made to any nation
now at war shall be voted and author
lied with the condition that the libe-
ration of Ireland is one of the purposes
of the war; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the liberation of
Ireland means the complete separa-
tion of the island of that name, to-
gether with such small islands as are
now administered as part of it, from
ALI, involuntary and subordinate politi.
cal connection with any other nation
and the complete freedom of the adult
inhabitants to decide by full and fair
vote upon their form of government
and the complete freedom of such gov
ernment as they may erect to deter

and to exercise all the functions of an
independent nation, and the recogni

PATRIOTIC SOCIAL
AT1PRO-CATHEDRAL

Bless the U. s. A." was sung for the
first time by ]. F. Brown, with an &C.
compartment whistled by Mrs. w. M.
Blankhorn.
The announcements were made by
Mr.. T. Connolly.
Father Cullen taking for his theme
that of the Pentecostal message of
the Holy Ghost urged the newly en-
listed soldiers to spread abroad the
message of democracy together with
that of the Apostles Greed and the
Ten Commandments. He deeply re-
GREETED that he was disqualified by a
few years from volunteering his SER
vices as an army chaplain. This he
would unhesitatingly do if possible, as
he deemed it the paramount duty of
the citizen to respond to the call of
the President, whose authority is the
authority of God. It is not only the
civic but the religious duty of all to
help according to their abilities and
circumstances. Not since the day of
his ordination said the reverend
speaker had he felt so happy as he
did on this occasion.
Addressing himself directly to the
soldiers and nurses seated in the front
rows, while his voice trembled with
emotion, he bade them to go out for
the honor of their country, to be clean
and pure in habits in the midst of the
temptations of army life, to be faith
full to the tenets and practices of
Holy Mother church, and courageously
endure all privations and sufferings
connected with the performance of
their duties. He reminded them of
the brevity of life even at it's longest
period of extension, and promised to
have them remembered daily in the
prayers of the priests and congrega.
tion of the Pro- Cathedral.
At the close of the impressive mes
sage to the recruits everybody was in
vited to meet everybody in an hours
social intercourse, the ladies of the
Holy Rosary Society graciously serv-
ing as hostesses.
