was set up on Movdny (April
24) 1916, and has been functioning
steadily, since March, 1919. The
golden harp of the Emerald Isle was
crowned with fresh shamrocks that
had come that very day. from Ire-
land. “Erin Go Bragh” was scroll-
ed in letters so large that John Bull
would need no spectacles to read
them.

song full of the rollicking lilt of a

way to sigba of relief and smiles ot

A Medley of Irish feels was play- service of the United States;,
ed, followed by a brisk assortment ~
of Tipperary jigs. Au amusing song, ■
flavored with the lovable brogue of
the old sod, scored quite a hit es-
pecially when the dreamer pictured
“shamrocks growing on Broadway,”
and thought that “the town of New
York was the county of Cork."
The masterpiece of poet-martyr
Terence MacSwiney was recited by
Annie Malone without any Czech-
Slovakian accent.
Home Rule Debate.
Exciting as was the program ren-
dered by the Brown son Literary So-
ciety, more vim and forensic fire
was enkindled among the High
School pupils in their debate wheth-
er Ireland should be given Home
Rule or full recognition of Eamon
De Valera’s Independent republic.
One of the orators drew a very
striking parallel between Ireland’s
present status and that of our own
colonies in 1769, when Benjamin
Franklin besought the Irish people
to recognize our secession from Bri-
tish thralldom. He showed that
28 per cent of Washington’s sol-
diers, including Jack Barry, Father
of the American Navy, were Irish
Catholics, and Chat the first relief
given to General Washington In his
bitter winter at Valley Forge was
from an Irish ship. A dozen Phila-
delphians, al! of them from St. Pat-
rick’s land, presented Washington
with $500,000 when the question
of our own independence stood
trembling In the balance.
No Relfgteua Issue.
These foots the speaker contrasted
with our present attitude whereby
we loan England five thousand mil-
lion dollars to help spread ruin, ra-
pine, famine and devastation on
Irish soil. Money sent by Americans
to alleviate these sufferings Is for-
bidden by the English Government
to be spent in staying the hand of
starvation. We left 60,000 of our
'heroic dead on the fields of Fland-
ers to help the small nations, but
we have refused to give a hearing
to the largest of the small nations,
the strongest of the small nations,
and the nation to which Christianity
and civilization owe the most.
Another debater showed that the
Irish question is not a religious is-
sue, because this nation, which en-
joyed self-dominion for nearly two
thousand years prior to Henry IPs
invasion, has been clamoring for
her birthright daring the last 750
years; whereas the first Protestant,
Martin Luther, was bom only about
tour hundred years ago.
