"''No separate' people can claim; no one country can appropriate the Irishman. On the contrary, ha. rapidly appropri ates the country of- others, assimilates himself with Its people .ana becomes part and parcel of Its government. The Irish ' are a martial race, and are not apologetic for their inheritance. Obe dient to their generous Impulses, the sons of Ireland are found everywhere fighting humanity's battles.' Wherever In the smoke of battle tyrants have lost their power and the people have gained their rights, wherever justice needed ' a champion or oppression de served a foe, there has ever been found the Irish soldier disciplined, undaunted and invincible." . It was chiefly the Celtic passion zor Justice which excited and inflamed the cry of the 'American colonists against the tyranny or the urmsn parliament In 1771. And if it wera not for the great numbers of the Irish race here at the thne - f - th - American revolution the protests of the colonists would, In all probability, nave oeen inenecuve. v v has been proven beyond a doubt that la 177 more than one third, of the col onists -were Irish, and it is also- ' fact which records prove that more tnan one hair or Washington s armywere men of Irish blood." .. , .,. ;'.
