FRENCH AMERICANS
FIGHT PROHIBITION
20 Societies Are Represented
at Meeting Which Forms
Nationwide League.

American citizens Of French birth or
in tho Union have declared against pro-
hibition by constitutional amendment
Representatives Of twenty Franco-Amer-
lean societies meeting at 81 West Twen-
ty-sixth street organized to fight under
the name Franco-American League for
the Protection Of American Liberty.
Clement Rueff,, rs West Fifty-fourth
street. president Of the league, outlined
the programme of the new association
yesterday, saying.
"All the French societies in this couh-
try have been or soon will be united to
oppose the curtailment of personal lib
erty by the prohibition amendment. The
membership in New York alone is more
than $4,000 and there are 100000 men,
bers in the country. We will affiliate
with the Association Opposed to Ma
tionai Prohibition. These French speak
Ing people are soiidly opposed to action
which takes away the liberties OF the
people without asking their consent II
the proposition had been submitted TO
direct popular vote We would not raise
the slightest protest, but to see our
rights taken away by tho devious
women seems to Us 80 contrary to the
spirit of the American Constitution that
we cannot remain silent or inactive.
The French In America came here be-
cause they wanted better opportunity to
promote their individual and material
welfare. They brought their French
habits with them. One OF these habits,
fixed from childhood. is to take n glass
Of wine with meals. Few OF them could
Of wine. French people universally
drink wine with their meals. seldom
drinking liquor or anything else except
at meals. As a rule they are temperate
people. -....
To-day, to their amazement, they see
Bolshevism advancing against the very
Constitution and personal rights which
they have always hold sacred. Stern OPP
position to prohibition Is not their I'm
polling motive. Above all they are fight
ing for tho preservation OF American
liberty as they see II, menaced as never
before by fanaticism and intolerance.
We will fight NJ straight out Americans
without any hyphens, for we have mar
ried here and made our homes here. In
such spirit we are uniting with thou
sands OF native born Americans to COM
bat all Entertainments upon the natural
and constitutional liberties OF a free
country. We cannot see how our Con-
stitution, which declares for the pro-
lection OF personal liberties. can be so
changed as TO take away those very
liberties.
I'VE shall bring to tho attention of the
Government our earnest concern for the
safety OF American principles. We will
hold meetings wherever there is a
colony Of French speaking citizens in
the United States. These meetings will
be addressed by speakers OF prominence
in business and political life. We will
protest by voice and writing"

BACK UP ERIN, SAYS
COHALAN TO POLICE
Tells 100 Members Of Force
to Insist on Wilson's Guar
antee for Island.

Justice Daniel r. Cohalan In an APP
peal yesterday to tho Irish in the LOO
uniformed and plain clothes police who
attended a breakfast in the Hotel Com
modore after mass In St. Patricks Ca
thedral. asked them to look upon the
lot of Ireland in serious light and to
insist that President Wilson'S guar
antee OF self-determination for all peo-
Piles be made to include the Emerald
Isle.
THE members Of the Police Depart
nnent are members of n raco which be-
lieves in liberty and yearns for it." the
Justice said, and It Is not amiss to ex-
press the hope which / believe you all
feel that such a peace shall be entered
upon as shall bring about the end which
all most desire.
Il am not saying anything that an
American ought not to say. 1 cherish
no animosity toward any one because
he Is English or in some way sees
things differently than l do. I under
stand the English as one who has been
among them. and I know how much
they love liberty for themselves.
THE trouble has been and still lies
In the fact that there has been a sedu-
lously cultivated disposition to refuse to
look seriously upon Ireland's appeals
for liberty. People have been taught to
view Ireland's troubles as a joke. rs II
injustice and suffering and oppressive
restraint and martyrdom were not Just
as serious In one part OF the world as
another.
"A certain native wit is one Of those
Irish qualities which have helped to
make the sad lot Of the Isle OF Erin a
bit moro bearable. but not a whit less
unjust or dishonoring TO those who I'M
derstand II and yet refuse to give heed
to appeals for simple justice"
When the Justice asserted that Ire
land must be free" there was general
applause.
The other speakers at the breakfast
were the Rev. John ]. Wynne. and Alex
under I. Rorke. Assistant District Attor-
ney.
The mass was celebrated by the Rev.
John J. Grogan. Catholic chaplain OF
the. department. the apostolic benedic-
ton being bestowed by Archbishop Clio
vanni Bonzano OF Washington. The
VOW to abstain from ''blasphemy, per-
jury, profanity and obscene language, -
which Is the creed OF the Holy Name
Society. WAS taken by raised hands. The
policemen sat in the centre of the audi
forum.
After the service the policemen
marched in column OF tours down Fifth
avenue 10 Forty-second street and the
Hotel Commodore. Deputy Commits
sioners Leach And Wallis headed tho
line.
