A.0.H. NATIONAL CONVENTION May
NOT BE HELD IN San FRANCISCO
Called for July of This Year. But Place May Be Changed
National President Mclaughlin Calls for Expression of
Opinion from State aud County Presidents sand Pros
pective Delegates the Matter Outline
of the Situation.

The ass 4mption of the directorship
of the railroads by the Government
has confronted the order with the
question that it had been supposed was
answered by the Boston convention.
That convention chose San Francisco
as the convention city of 1918. The
uncertainties of the future are indi-
Gated by the events of the present.
The government must subordinate pri-
vate wishes to the public necessity.
Freight has been already curtailed,
and passenger traffic will be so regu-
lated that travellers will be forced
to arrange all business subject to the
exigencies of the public service. About
the time the convention would meet
in San Francisco there will likely be
troop and freight movements of great
magnitude on all the railroads. Dele
gates from the East and Southland
even the Middle West-would find that
the time consumed and increased eX-
pense OF attendance at the convention
would be prohibitive. Scores would
be unable to discharge the obligation
of representing those who chose them,
and many counties and states could
not bear the expense. Indeed, very
many inquiries and quite few pro-
tests have been forwarded to this Of
flee from every section of the country
east of the Mississippi since the Bos-
ton convention selected San Francisco
as the convention city. The basis of
all these protests was unanimously
in accord, namely, that their resources
could not sustain representation at a
rational convention held at such a
distance, and that few members, rela-
lively, could detach themselves from
their business for SO long a time as
the circumstances would necessitate.
The force of these objections has i'm
mensely increased since July, 1916.
The war has re-organized our social
system through taking from the homes
millions of the breadwinners. 1t
has turned the currents of fl
nance so that the savings may
be loaned to the government. 1t
has disciplined our industrial sys-
TEN, so that men must bend their
energies intensely and unremittingly
to the task of prosecuting the war
while they earn livelihood. In ad-
dition to bearing all the burdens Of
citizens, Hibernians are pledged to
create great funds to supply auxiliary
aid to our members in the fighting
forces of the United States, while
the good standing of these members
must be maintained at TIME. when
their exemption from dues decreases

the revenues of every Division in the
country. A recent canvass of pros
pective delegates in a large Eastern
city disclosed the fact that it would be
impossible to represent that city in
the convention by it's foremost men,
bers, because very few individuals
could so arrange their private affairs
as to be absent the number of weeks
it may take to go to San Francisco
ditiOns. Under all the conditions like
ly to be in force next July the majori-
ty of the delegates must face the pos
sibility of being absent for six to eight
weeks. Indeed, there is no assurance
that a couple of months will be suf-
iicient, but there is a certainty that
there will be no special cars, that
there will be none of the accommoda-
tions which would insure all the dele
gates reaching the convention city
within weeks of one another. 1t is
being realized that no representative
national convention of the Ancient
Order OF Hibernians can be held in
San Francisco in July, 1918. The ma
tional board, therefore, is confronted
with question that was thought set
tied. This mighty war in which our
nation is engaged has caused all gov
ernments-both of nations and of fra
ternal organiZatiops-to ignore preced-
ent and even to disregard the acts of
their legislative bodies. 1t looks as if
the national officers will be impelled
to choose central city, hire a hall,
and convene the delegates for the
biennial convention of the A. o. H. in
eJshy, 1918, SO that all necessary busi-
ness may be transacted in the short
est possible time. eliminating from the
programme parades, banquets, picnics,
and all other forms of recreation. obey
ing the overwhelming sentiment of the
membership, and conserving the re-
sources of the order at a tile when
those resources are responding to the
call OF patriotism, and when almost
every division feels the strain of meet
ing the obligations of general war
charities, as we'll as those other chari-
lies due to its fighting members.
l shall lie pleased to receive at an
early date an expression of the senti-
ments of my colleagues Of the national
loard, Of all state and provincial Off
GERS county presidents, and all other
prospective delegates to the next ma
tiOnal convention on the proposition
which have here outlined, and which
now submit for their most earnest
consideration.

LAND SALE ExCITES
LIMERICK FARMERS
Small Holders and Laborers Combine
to Bid in 454 Acres-SaIe After
wards Withdrawn.

Exciting scenes, in which about 200
small farmers and laborers from the
Knocklong district, Co. Limerick, took
prominent part, occurred yesterday
at the mart of ]. P. Cuffe, Prussia
street, when lands situated at Ballina-
hinch, containing about 454 acres,
were put up for sale and subsequently
withdrawn. A large force of police
was present. The lands were former
ly in possession of the late w. Power,
who directed in his will that after his
death they should be sold.
Mr.. Lundon's Offer.
When the sale opened, T. Lundon,
MP, said he came there with Mr.. Cub
bins, on behalf of small holders and
laborers around Ballinahinch; and he
asked Mr.. Hogan (the vendor) to sell
the lands on condition that the men
of Ballinahinch would make up the
difference between So pc. stock and
G1O0, and if he would accept the valu
alton of the Estates Commissioners in
cash, plus auctioneer's commission. He
was prepared to hand him check for
that amount
Mr. Hogan said if it was fair offer
he would accept it, and Mr.. Leahy
(solr.) said he had a letter from the
Estates Commissioners stating that
they did not intend to purchase the
lands. Mr.. Hogan told Mr.. Lundon
that they would accept the full amount
in cash on a fair valuation, and on
Mr.. Lundon remarking that he did not
know what that meant, Mr.. Leahy said
the sale should proceed
Exciting Scenes.
Here the crowd became excited,
threats were INDUCED in, and leaflets
were distributed stating that the la
borers and uneconomic holders were
prepared to pay down the Estates
Commissioners valuation, that the
government had appealed for the pro-
duction Of more food, and that anyone
who bid for the land would not have
everything his own way.
Mr.. Lundon here excitedly stated
that he could accept full responsible
ity, and urged the men not to let any
one have it. Asked by Mr.. Cuffe If he
intended to interfere with the sale, he
said he did not, but they would in
terfere with the purchaser. Cheers
followed and were renewed when Mr..
Lundon said they were willing to offer
E14,OOO. When it was announced that
the sale was withdrawn there were
loud cheers, and the Limerick con-
tingent left amid scenes of inbilation.

Mrs. Sheehy- -Skeffington
To Appear in Minneapolis
Twin Cities to Have Opportunity to
See and Greet PIucky Irish Patriot.
Will Speak at the Auditorium Satur-
day Evening, March 2.

Arrangements have been perfected
for the appearance in Minneapolis of
Mrs. Sheehy Skeilington, who is now
principal cities of the country She
is the widow Of the brilliant Irish
w i,cr and Journalist Sneehy Skelt-
ingtOn, who was executed after the
East er rebellion in Dublin in 1916,
though it is generally admitted that
he was in no way responsible for the
uprising. Mrs Skeftington upon the
loss OF her husband was obliged to
take up the task of supporting her
self and children. She is woman of
thorough education and great. literary
ability and is determined to use her
talents in support Of the Irish cause
wherever and whenever the oppor
tnnity presented itself. Forbidden to
leave ireland, she resOrted to a clever
hi. OF strategy to eiude the Govern
ment officials, and successfully made
iler way to America. Here she has
been received enthusiastically and
sympathetically, not only by the peo-
pie of her own race but also by the
general American public. Her lectures
have drawn capacity houses. She has
traversed the country from New York
to San Francisco, and everywhere met
with a cordial reception.
At Washington she had the honor
to be received by President Wilson
at the White House, and she pre-
l., ,lI r<>~ {<,J
by the women Of Ireland petitioning
his good Offices in the achievement of
Irish independence, and that Ireland
should be deemed one of the smaller
nations in behalf of which America
had entered the world war. The
President received her petition with
marked courtesy and interest and
Mrs Skeftington felt very much en-
cOuraged as result of the cOnversa-
tion. ....
The general subject of the lecture
will be "The Rights of Small Nation
alities-Ireland a Republic" but Mrs.
Skeffington's discussion of the matter
leaves no phase of the Irish question
without adequate and careful treat
ment Naturally the questions of gen.
eral interest arising out of the world
war will also receive attention.
General admission has been fixed at
25 cents, with reserved seats at so
cents and boxes 81. 1t is to be hoped
that this brave little woman who has
manifested heroism creditable alike
to her sex and race will be greeted
with an audience that will tax the
capacity of the auditorium.

Chaplain 0'connor Of Rainbow Division Refutes
SIanderous Charges Made Against Soldiers

company with another priest, Rev.
our experiences with the men has em
phatically fastened the impression in
our minds that these men-soldier boys
are leading cleaner, purer and more
wholesome lives here than when at
home in their native country.
Our work among them has brought
US into the closest intimacy, for they
come to us for advice, sometimes for
encouragement and consolation, and
they come to us with their hearts sor-
their credit, they would put to shame
those who would revile them.
The monthly reports of the chap
lains will bear me out in this, and the
stories above referred to, have read
our reports with the greatest satisfac-
ton because these reports corroborate
the knowledge they already have of
the true conditions existing among the
men.
SIandering Soldiers.
We're some of those who would re-
vile the good character of our soldiers
at the front to see them on Sundays
attending divine services, to see them
by hundreds going to Holy Commun-
ion, these stories regarding the i'm
morality of the soldier would find no
place in their thoughts. Before COM
ing to France heard such stories,
and of course was worried because l
was fearful of the result and because
of the difficulty in the way of success
full work among the men. But l can
assure all the good mothers and
friends of our soldier boys that there
is not the slightest foundation for all
these stories, and can further assure
them that while their boys are away
from them they have less temptations
and are great deal better off morally
than when at home.
