Dillon Says Success Depends on Gov
ernments Reversal of Home
Rule Policy.
Attitude of Clergy Expected to Prove
Determining Factor, According
to an Associated Press
Report.

London, June 5.-The voluntary re-
cruiting appeal by Viscount French,
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is neither
applauded nor condemned by John Dill
Ion, Nationalist leader, in an interview
with the Daily Telegraph's correspon-
dent in Dublin.
THE government" Mr.. Dillon is
quoted as saying. has certainly done
one sensible thing in abandoning the
attempt to enforce conscriptiOn in Ire
land against the will of the people,
which would have brought no strength
to the Allied cause and undoubtedly
would have produced world wide evils.
Any prospects of the success of Lord
French's appeal, in my judgment, de-
pends entirely on the extent to which
the government will reverse their Irish
policy and the methods of recruiting
practiced in Ireland since the out
break of the war"
Poor Response Expected.
Special dispatches from Dublin, while
setting forth that Lord French's appeal
is generally regarded as showing a
spirit of moderation and good will,
concur in declaring that, as far as the
Nationalists are concerned it is not
likely to meet with much response un-
less it is reinforced by the passing of
a generous measure of home rule. This
is stated to be so we'll recognized in
government circles that according to
the Daily News correspondent,
strong belief exists in certain quar-
ters that the Lord Lieutenant would
not have launched his appeal if he
had not been certain that it would be
followed by home rule proposals.
Much is said to depend upon the sup
port of the Catholic clergy. If they
support it, the scheme may have
chance of success.
Campbell Appointment Raped.
New York, June 5.-The appoint
ment of Sir James Campbell, as lord
chancellor of Ireland, as announced
in cable dispatch from London, was
declared by T.. p. O'Connor M. p, to
"be an open and violent insult and
provocation to the Catholics and Ma
tionalists in Ireland"

What proved to be one of the most
notable gatherings ever held by Div
sion No. 6, Ladies' Auxiliary, to the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, was the
rally held in st. Stephens Auditorium
last Tuesday evening. Not only was
the affair success from the stand
point of attendance, which was beyond
expectations, but the wonderful en-
thusiasm for the Auxiliary shown by
everyone present and the excellent
response to the appeal of the officers
to join the organization was grand
and the officers of the Division were
greatly pleased with the result. The
speakers of the evening were the Rev.

The Irish Race Convention.


But it was with the purpose of get
ting her views and Impressions of the
Irish Race Convention, which she at
tended in New York on May 10th and
Goth, that the Standard sought an in
terview from her, which was most
graciously accord ed. Mrs. McWhorter
indeed welcomed the opportunity to
tell of the proceedings of that great
assemblage, for she realizes fully that
the enemies of her race are at present
perniciously active in stirring up hos
tility to it in America. She therefor
deems it both privilege and duty
to do all in her power to counteract
this British inspired propaganda, and
urges upon every member of the or
ganiZation, of which she is the head,
and friends of Ireland generally to be
on the alert at the present moment to
refute the ISLANDERS that are so in
sdiously and abundantly appearing in
the American newspapers and period
icals, especially the charge of pro-
German plot by the Sim Feiners,
On this matter Mrs. McWhorter told
of the speech in the Convention of
Diarmud Lynch, the Sim Fein Food
Controller, who had done such signal
service in Ireland in food conservation
iTddring the winter months. Mr.. Lynch
is all American citizen, she said, who
was deported to America because he
could not be subjected to the brutal
treatment that was given to the other
Sim Fein leaders, De Valera, Arthur
GrifIiths, Count Plunkett, and the
others. He declared solemnly before
the convention, saying that if he were
about to meet his God he would not
vary his statement, that there is abso-
lutely no ground for the charge against
the Sim Feiners of entering into

We are deeply indebted to the head
of the Ladies' Hibernian organization,
National President, Mrs. Mary F. Nc
Whorter, for her thoughtful cheering
Sanctum on Wednesday last. To those
who are engaged in the study of Irish
affairs at the present momentous
crisis it affords genuine pleasure and
inspiration to hear the views of this
energetic and vigorous protagonist of
Ireland's cause. But it is not only her
views that she gives in her public and
private discussions of the subject. She
also has the womanly instinct of gath
ering and telling you all the interest
ing news and gossip connected with
the several lines of development. Her
information is also authentic and up
to-the-minute. No incident bearing on
the great cause to which she has dedi-
Gated her life is too trivial for her
keen observation and wonderful mem

Mrs. McWhorter had come to Min
neapolis from Winnipeg where she
acted as one of the adjudicators in
the award of prizes to the pupils in
the parochial schools for proficiency
in Irish History. These prizes have
been provided by the mems and wom-
ems Hibernian organizations as an
incentive to the study of this i'm
portant subject, and have had high

ST. THOMAS UNIT OF THE RED

The ST. Thomas Catholic church
Red Cross Unit presented to the Sec
ond Red Cross War Camp Fund a
check of $100. The st. Thomas Red
Cross Unit was one of the first in the
city to be established and ever since
it's organization has exhibited large
degree of efficiency, and as a result
Mrs. Horace Lowry has made it a
model unit and the members are used
as instructors to teach the work to
newly organized units. The unit is
under the able direction Of Mrs. James

$500 for each new member, so that
the proposer will receive $500 for
each new member he may bring into
the Division during that time.
The response to this offer has been
very gratifying and we hope every
member in the Division will have a
bill to present in the near furture
for services rendered in the drive for
new members.
Your reward will not consist alone
in the financial benefit you may derive
by your efforts you will reduce the
average age of your membership; ex-
tend the influence of your society and
promote. among our people more gen
orally the spirit of friendship, unity
and Christian charity.
What benefit does the society ac-
quire by reduction of the average age
of it's membership? What benefit does
youth confer upon the individual? The
answer is obvious-he is vigorous, at
tractive, ambitious and faces the ris-
ing sun with hope and expectancy.
That which is true of the individual
is true of an aggregation of persons,
or a society. Vigor, activity and ambi-
tion are elements indispensable to a
f1ourishing organization. An organiza-
ton which lacks those elements is
decadent and of little or no value to
the community or the individual. If
society is inactive it will soon be-
come decadent; so now, brothers, let
us be up and doing while youth, Wig
or, activity and ambition still flourish
among us. We are capable of doing
much good for our country, our society
and our own people if we but shake
off the lethargy, which will surely
overtake us unless we arouse our
selves to the occasion.
Our society is worthy of our best
efforts and our best efforts will make
it more so You have been loyal in the
past, may we not register you as a
volunteer among the workers Of Divi-
sion No. 4 in this great drive,
AS an humble member Of the banner
division of the State of Minnesota
make this appeal to your pride as
descendants of noble race to see
to it that you do your full duty be
tween now and June 30th, that one OF
the largest classes ever conducted
into the House of the Gail be in readi
ness to receive worthily the full de-
grees of our Order on that date.
Let our watchword for the next
80 days be: "There are no slackers
in No. when the work of building
up the only representative society Of
our people is the task set before u.s.

To the Editor, Irish Standard:
Increase of opportunity and exten-
sion of work have compelled the erec-
tion of another building, This was de-
cided upon few weeks ago in a con-
ference participated in by Mr.. w. j.
Moriarity, Supreme Agent of the War
Committee; Mr.. Raymond Wright, the
local representative; Mr.. George J.
Pfianz, Jr., General Secretary, and the
K. of c.. Chaplain.
An ideal location as to site and con-
venience has been secured at the cor
ner of Twelfth and Des Moines Avs.
A happy incident occurred when the
above delegation called upon the con-
structing quartermaster, Captain Shu-
CERT, to ask his approval for the new
building, and his recommendation for
the site chosen. Being introduced to
Captain Shugert as representatives of
the knights of Columbus we were in
formed before stating our proposition
that anything we wanted was ours.
That was surely encouraging and we
took it as complimentary to the merit
of the work being carried out by the
knights. On behalf of the military
authorities, Captain Shugert said he
was delighted to learn of our extension
of work, as also to grant us authority
to build and to approve the site Sc
lected. "s N u, a.. ~-' r.
The building, which will be of the
type of our smaller buildings, about
100 feet long by 40 feet wide, will soon
be under construction, and when ready
will enable the K. of C.'s to continue
the good work on a larger and broad
er scale. Building No. 2 will be de-
voted exclusively to the use of the
colorea troops. There colored secre-
tarfes will be in charge and cater to
the needs and comforts of the men of
their own color Mass will be cele-
brated for the twenty or more colored
Catholics as also all others who wish
to participate. In certain sense we
have been handicapped in caring thor
oughly for our colored boys, but soon
we will have the opportunity and
means to look after them in the way
we want. Never has there been any
line drawn, any distinction made, yet
we realize they have not felt free to
accept our hospitality especially in
view of the fact that the Y. NJ. G. A
has had for months building set aside
exclusively for their use.
