In all tha principal cities of the country
in commemoration of the birth of Itob-

After reiterating the belief that Ire

Inratlon continues-
"Not even a scant measure of legls.
lntlve freedom can be won by pleading
to the parliament of England, a no In
stallment of JuMlce hus been granted
Ireland except through physical force.
"Wo assert that the settlement of the
land question promlssd by the British
government will be attempted only be
cause England fears In her coming
troubles the hostility of the race In
and out of Ireland, and hopes to secure
peace and loyalty by buying a class at
the expense of the entire people. We
further assert that nothing cf ' tMs
kind can or will prevent the tare from
keeping up the flKht for the estnbllah
ment of an IrlBh republic.
"Constitutional agitation tends to de
nationalise the Irish people and has
led people to believe that Ireland was
content to remain a part pf the British
empire, whereas her people would be
satisfied with nothing leas than an Irish
republic. There la evidence of u revival
of the militant spirit In Irelund, and
this spirit has been aroused !n the
Irish race in America to a greater ex
tent than ever. The Irish raid in
America, too, Is aroused to the neocs

nations which were friendly when
America needed friends and England

"We firmly believe that the British

path leading to flnal dismemberment
and that u wise and resolute use pf

Ireland her final opportunity. We
counsel no rash or premature action,
