Says Ireland Knows Only One Allegiance—Will Acknowl+ edge No Other—Asks American Aid. “We are not desirous of fighting; all we want is for, the British to clear out and let us alone, to rule our coun- try in our own way. The will of the Irish people is un- breakable; we will suffer extermination before we will These words epitomize ~|bow to the knee of England.” the message delivered by. Hon. Harry P. Boland, member of the Trish Dail Eireann, secrctary to President Eamonn de Valera, of the Irish Republic, and special envoy of Ireland to the United States, before an assemblage that filled the Mishler ‘hea- tre, Altoona, to its capacity last night. ‘The mecting was: held under the auspices of the Abraham Lin- coln Council of the American As-| p, sociation for the Recognition of the frish Republic. Charles O'Neill, president of the associa- tion, presided, and in addizion to Mr. Boland, addresses were made by Rev. J. M. P. Doyle, T. O. R., D. D., president of St. Francis Seminary; Judge-clect |i John H. McCann, of Cambria County, and Hon, James M. Sul-|} livan, of New York and Dublin. Mr, Boland, upon being’ intro- duced, said that he comes to America not to speak of Ireland's wrongs, but of her rights, Ire- land, he declared, is a nation, the oldest nationality of Europe, and is entitled to the privileges of a nation. Drawing a parallel with the American coldhies at the time of the Revolution in this country, he said that the colonies did not have a nationality up to that time and were indeed colonies of Great Britain. the hand, when Teland reaffirmed her Independence four years ago, she simply declared rights that have existed for more than seven centuries. They were a race en- tirely distinct from that of Eng-|I\ land; they had a separate lan- guage and a highly developed Civilization and they have, in the struggles of the last few years, as for centuries past, been strug- gling to rid the country of an army of occupation. Issue Was Clouder, Mr. Boland said that the issue had been clouded for years Pror, to 191G because Irishmen si ish parhament and bel ped. to make Tis for the cupite. but since ti representatives bave uot tukeu their s “tts in parliament.
