Right Of Liberty Emphasized
by Very Rev. Peter Ma
genniS in Convention
at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-The right
of the Irish to liberty was empha-
sized by the Very Rev. Peter E.

given to Poland, Czecho-Slovakia
and other small nations. 1t will adj
Journ tomorrow.
DIR. Magennis, who is assistant
general of the Carmelite order, said:
THE work before the convention
of the Irish race is of supreme inn
portance. Every day, every hour,
nay, every moment, must be offered
upon the altar of that country's
freedom. Outside ireland itself the
solution of the problem that is so
near to our heart lies in America.
Work Before Convention.
"The all-important work of this
convention is to ascertain-did
America turn away from her pros
porous career and direct her steps
TO blood-stained fields of Europe TO
the end that nations should be free
and that the world shall be safe for
democracy? Did the voice of our
great president ring true, or did it
ring with doubtful tone, when he
told the listening world the princi-
pies that have made America the
great and prosperous land she I'M
1oubtedly is?
I'VE have wept enough for Ire
land, we have glorihed sufficiently
in Ireland, now our duty is to work
for Ireland, and to work in such a
way that the world shall under
stand that our work is the work of
men who could die for Ireland"

feeble. He remained with his fam
