No Nations League Before
Emerald Isles Independ-
ence, Ryan Insists
HONOR ROBERT EMMETT

'rrhere can be no real league of ma
tions unless Ireland's freedom is estab-
lfshed. It's claim to independence must
be settled at the Peace Conference at
Paris"
This was the declaration of Michael
J. Ryan, former Public Service Commits
isoner, at a mass-meeting in the Acad-
erny Of Music last night under the aus
pices Of the Clan-Na-Gael in commemora
tion of the birthday Of Robert Emmett,
who strove to establish a republic in
Ireland lib years ago.
"1reland's Easter" a three-act play
depicting the events in Dublin during
and preceding the rebellion of Easter,
1915. was presented as part of the pro-
gram. 1t was written by the Rev.Thomas
J. Hurton and the Rev. Edmond O'Shea,
both of the Church OF the Annunciaton.
The cast included Gordon Miller, Leo
Bradley, Walter Endy, James MaoFar-
land, John Brown, Samuel Martin.
James Bradley, William MacFarland,
Walter Mckee, Charles Walsh, Frank
Sullivan, John Spillane, Mary Il. Feth-
Ger. Jane b. Costello, Helen Borcken,
Helen McVeigh, Joseph Sweeney and ].
Bradley.
DR.. Patrick McCartan, elected mem
ber Of Kilkenny and envoy of the Irish
republic to America, declared, in intro
ducing Mr.. Ryan. that the Irisll repub-
lie would live while one Irishman sur
wives.
Mr.. Ryan told Of the big part played
by 1rishmen in the war. He attacked
as "insidious British propaganda" the
report that ireland had not sacrificed
in the war. In telling of President Will
sons statements that the war was
fought to help the little subject ma
tions,' he said: -
"As late as the fourth day of this
present month heard the President Of
the United States assent to the declara-
gress setting forth Germany's crimes
against us the majority Of the people
of the United States were opposed to
Americas entering the war.
yielding to him, war was declared,
and the unanimity Of action which fol-
lowed. the rallying of al, the peoples, re-
gardless of creed or race. behind the
President, the contributions Of men and
money and material without stint and
without question, was in the belief that
not only was Germany to be conquered
and our flag to wave In triumph over
beaten enemy, but with the faith that
this was to be a war to end war; a
war to make the world safe for democ-
racy'
"As he couched it, We are. fighting
for the liberty, the self-government and
the indicated development of all peo-
pies, and every feature of the settle
nent that concludes this war must be
conceived and executed for that purpose.
The principle Is plain. No people must
bA forced under sovereignty under which
it does not wish to live

Bill and Jimmie evidently were of the opinion that Frank was so imbued with the Christmas spirit that he would be willing to present his place to one of them as holiday offering. MT.
