On Monday evening, January 22, there was a splendid mass meeting of the Irish people of the district, held at Murphy's Hall, 806 Eighth Avenue, under the auspices of the Joseph Plunkett Branch of the Friends of Irish Freedom. Mr. C. H. Sugrue, who has undertaken a campaign that means to establish branches of the Friends of Irish Freedom in every quarter of Manhattan, is meeting with splendid success of which this meeting was a very fine index. Thanks to the fine preliminary work accomplished by Mr. Johnson the organizer for the movement in New York, who by circular and various other methods had brought the meeting to the attention of all the Irish people in the locality, the hall was packed to capacity, and the interest shown by those present augurs well for the growth and success of the Branch in the future. Rev. Father O'Mara, President of the Branch, made the success of the meeting a matter of his personal concern, and he is to be thanked and congratulated for the splendid work he did in its behalf. He was chairman of the meeting and it was fine to hear his outspoken advocacy of the cause of Ireland's Independence, and his pleas for the constant propaganda of Ireland's right to Nationhood, which he said should be carried out all over the United States. No people had contributed more than the people of Ireland to the freedom and the upbuilding of the United States, he said, and Ireland was justified in hoping that the voice of America would be found pleading for the restoration of Ireland to her rightful place among the nations. No country, the Chairman said, because of her age-long struggle and of the suffering she underwent, had a higher claim to independence than Ireland, and he urged those present to work earnestly and untiringly so that the close of the present European conflict would find her again in complete possession of her national rights. Mr. Sugrue made a stirring appeal to the audience to rouse and interest themselves in the cause of Ireland in the present critical time. When the bravest and most accomplished men and women of the race gave their lives in Ireland that the Irish people might be free, he said, surely we in America should do what was asked of us, should organize and by our united effort enable the men at home when they struck for freedom again to do so successfully. Miss Nellie Gifford, who was a despatch bearer in the Easter Week Rebellion, spoke on the immediate need of active propaganda, advocating the rights of Ireland's claims to Nationhood to be heard at the Peace Conference. Mr. Peter Golden said that the Irish Question in the present instance had resolved itself into dollars and cents, and the amount of money the Irish people [column continues] [rule across columns 3-4; the list of St. Louis contributors continues, third sub-column] Rev.

The English, he said, would, in their present state of mind, do anything, no matter what people said to the contrary, and it rested altogether now with the Irish people in America and the way they rallied to the support of the people at home, how the people at home would be able to sustain themselves. Mr. Johnson made an eloquent and forceful appeal for members and was successful in having over sixty new members join the Branch. An active committee was appointed to increase the membership still further and to spread broadcast the claim of Ireland to her right as a nation. ### FR. LIVINGSTON SPEAKS AT ST. ENDA'S BRANCH. The lecture by Father Livingston on "The Invasions of Ireland," before the St. Enda's Branch of the Gaelic League at Brevoort Hall, 154 East Fifty-fourth Street, on Sunday, January 21, was a rare literary and historical treat. The hall was over-crowded, and arrangements are being made by which the remaining four lectures of the series will be delivered in larger halls in the city. Mr. Jeremiah Lawlor presided, and addresses were also delivered by Mr. Charles O'Farrell, Mr. M. A. O'Byrne, and Mr. Seumas Morrissey. A splendid musical programme was rendered which included the singing by Father Livingston of "Soldiers of Erin," the rallying song of the Irish Volunteers in Dublin during last Easter Week. Victor Herbert has arranged the music, and it is being sold at 50 cents for the benefit of the Gaelic League at the Gaelic League Depot, Emmet Arcade, Fifty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue. Songs were also sung by Richard Murphy, Sean McHugh and others. Mr. James Donnellan recited one of Dr. Douglas Hyde's poems. A collection for the Gaelic League Fund amounted to $50. ### PADRAIC H. PEARSE BRANCH The Padraic H. Pearse Branch of the Friends of Irish Freedom held a very successful meeting at Healy's, Broadway and One Hundred and Forty-fifth Street, on January 22. In the absence of the President, Judge John Jerome Rooney, who was quite ill, Mr. John Brown presided as Chairman. After reports from the various committees being received Mrs. Agnes Bohan was introduced as the speaker of the occasion, and she roused the audience to the highest enthusiasm by her eloquent appeal in the name of Ireland. At the close of her address Mrs. Bohan received a regular ovation. There was a fine programme by Mrs. William E. Daly of Ellis Island, Miss Helen R. Manning, youngest daughter of Lieutenant Richard Manning, and [column continues] [rule across columns 3-4; the list of St. Louis contributors continues, fourth sub-column] Rev. E. J.

The committee in charge of the supper and dance to be held Sunday, February 4, after the regular meeting reported that all arrangements had been completed, and this promises to be the most enjoyable event the society has had so far. The meeting will be held at the usual time in the afternoon, and a charge of 50 cents will be made to those wishing to remain for supper. Captain Liam Mellows, who was one of the organizers of the Irish Volunteers, and who was in command in Galway during the Rebellion in Ireland last April, will address the meeting. Mr. Jeremiah O'Leary, Counsellor Alfred J. Tally, and other eloquent speakers will also deliver addresses. As the meetings of this organization are all free and open to the public, no one who believes in the independence or freedom of small nations should fail to attend. All are most cordially invited. ### GREENWOOD GAELS CONTRIBUTE TO FUND. Treasurer Thomas Hughes Kelly, of the Irish Relief Fund, has received $187.50, which has been collected by five generous and energetic Brooklyn men who undertook the work entirely of their own initiative, and formed the Greenwood Branch of the Fund. The prime mover was the President of the Branch, Terence McNally, and his associates were Martin J. Dunne, the Treasurer, James Hayes, Financial Secretary; Patrick Gallagher and Patrick Corkery, all of whom lived in the Greenwood section of Brooklyn, where many Irish of the old stock still reside. A pathetic incident in connection with this fund was the sudden death of President McNally, who, though in humble circumstances himself, had given most liberally of his money and time to aid the sufferers in Ireland. His loyal co-workers not only completed the collection for the Irish Relief Fund but, in addition, raised an even more handsome sum for the benefit of the widow and children of the deceased. Finer examples of the traditional Irish spirit are rarely found, and all the circumstances reflect the highest possible credit upon the devoted men who have labored so zealously to relieve suffering among our people in the old home and in the new. ### ROBERT EMMET BRANCH. The Robert Emmet Branch, Friends of Irish Freedom, will meet next Sunday, February 4, at 3 P. M., at 307 West Fifty-fourth Street. Doctor McAuliffe will deliver the address. Members and their friends should make an effort to attend as the Doctor is a fluent talker and knows the subject. Final arrangements will be made for the coming euchre and dance to be held at Donovan's Academy, Fifty-ninth Street and Circle, on February 16. Donations will be received at the meeting. Resolutions were passed and sent to the New York press and friendly papers throughout the United States, condemning the latest piece of pro-British propaganda of the Greater Vitagraph Company, portraying the Irish rebels of Easter Week as an unorganized band of hoodlums and the English soldiers as magnanimous warriors. ### BOSTON FRIENDS OF IRISH FREEDOM. BOSTON, Jan. 30.—The Roger Casement Branch of the Friends of Irish Freedom held a largely attended meeting in Investigator Hall, Boston, last Sunday evening. The members were enthusiastic over the reading of a letter from Miss Nellie Gifford and the announcement that she is coming to Boston as their guest and will speak in Lorimer Hall, Tremont Temple, on Wednesday evening, February 21. Mrs. J. Carroll praised Victor Herbert's Irish opera "Eileen," and said it would set many people whom we could not otherwise reach, thinking of what a free Ireland would mean to the world. Although a pure work of art it was also, she said, a most powerful antidote to the lying and vulgarizing propaganda of the Anglomaniacs, and she urged every one to see it. Many of our people, she continued, when they attained success, turned their backs upon us. Not so with Victor Herbert, the foremost American composer and President of our organization, the Friends of Irish Freedom. It was unanimously voted that a letter of appreciation to Victor Herbert be sent. Mr. Robert M. Stearn said he had no doubt that Germany was thinking more and more of Ireland, and believed that when the terms of peace came to be considered, Germany would not forget Ireland's claims. Mr. Matt Quinn contributed songs and Miss Maura Quinn an original reading—"The Irish Rebel." Mr. Spring and Mr. Michael Cusick, President of the Brighton Branch, Friends of Irish Freedom, were among the speakers. Twenty-nine new members were admitted. Jeremiah Carroll presided and Joseph Walsh acted as Secretary. ### HARLEM GAELIC SOCIETY. On Friday evening, January 26, at Proctor's Theatre Building, 112 East One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street, New York, the members and friends of the Harlem Gaelic Society were treated to one of the most learned and instructive lectures ever delivered under the auspices of the society. Benedict Fitzpatrick was the lecturer, and he had a large and appreciative audience. M. A. O'Byrne presided and introduced the lecturer. In proposing a vote of thanks, the Rev. T. J. Shanley said he had never enjoyed a lecture as much as the one he had just listened to since he attended a course of lectures on the same subject given by Eoin MacNeill at Maynooth College. James Morrisssy [sic] seconded [column continues] ## Column 6 ed the vote of thanks, which was carried with acclamation. The Right Rev. Monsignor James W. Power, having been called upon to say a few words, spoke on the work before the members, especially urging on them the necessity of studying Irish history and attending the class meetings sharp at 8 o'clock on Friday evenings, in which event he would be with them as often as possible. The following contributed instrumental and vocal items during the evening: P. McNamara, Miss Christina Kelly, Andrew J. Crowley, and the Rev. T. J. Shanley. ### CUMANN NA mBAN, INC. Cumann na mBan, Inc., will hold annual celebration in honor of St. Bridget at one of the large halls in the Tuxedo, Madison Avenue and Fifty-ninth Street, New York, on Tuesday evening, February 6. Judging from previous entertainments and from the preparations being made by a very energetic committee it will be an enjoyable evening for all who attend. Irish cake and tea will be served and an admission fee of 25 cents will be charged. All collectors to the fund are earnestly urged to make returns. *COLLECTED BY CUMANN NA m-BAN, INC.* Previously acknowledged ..... $1,820.57 Proceeds of Mass Meeting at Maennerchor Hall on January 19, ................ 252.75 From Thomas C.

This news was contained in a despatch from Washington, dated January 28. Registration of British subjects in Japan has already been ordered. # LEGAL NOTICES.

[boxed advertisement, spans columns 6-7] # WHAT THE IRISH HAVE DONE FOR AMERICA The story of the Irish in America has been variously told. Facts have been twisted to suit prejudice, and the truth has been either ignorantly or maliciously ignored by historians of the past. In these days, when the term "Hyphenated American" is applied to all Americans who are not pro-British, men of Irish blood should be fortified with the facts showing the importance of the part played by the race in the establishment of American liberties and industrial prosperity, and be able to correct false views. They should be able to inform their children and their friends just what it meant to this country that the Irish came here in such large numbers. # "THE IRISH CONTRIBUTION TO AMERICA'S INDEPENDENCE" ## By THOMAS HOBBS MAGINNISS, JR., Is a book of vast importance from a historical point of view, and especially to every person in America of Irish blood. It refutes published misstatements, and contains much valuable and interesting information about the Irish race as compared with the "Anglo-Saxon." ### IT IS A BOOK EVERY AMERICAN OF IRISH BLOOD SHOULD POSSESS. A book that every one can understand and one that is extremely interesting to every man and woman who is interested in promoting the cause of the Irish race in America. Copies may be obtained at this office, or will be mailed to any address, postpaid, on receipt of $1.00. THE GAELIC AMERICAN, 165 William St., New York City. Remittance should accompany order.
