Major Kelley Appeals for Aid to Ireland at Knights Hall
Major M. A. Kelly of the 60th Irish regiment of New York spoke to a large gathering at the Knights of Columbus hall on a Friday evening urging funds toward the 10 million dollars sought in America for Ireland’s freedom from England. He likened Ireland’s struggle to America in 1776, cited past help from Ireland to the colonial cause, and praised Irish fighters in Belgium and France. He urged rapid fundraising in New York and Illinois and stressed that Ireland never consented to union with England, calling for self government as the basis of a postwar settlement.
