A REPUBLICAN APPEAL,

IRELAND’S OPPORTUNITY,

LONDON, March 17.

The Irish Republican Party is maintaining its propaganda campaign of vitriolic hatred against Britain. A handbill circulated throughout Ireland states: “ England’s difficulty is Ireland’s opportunity. England is in difficulties everywhere. Her war debt is colossal, and her unemployed number nearly two millions. Her quondam -allies hate hex. India is seething with revolt, and Egypt is declaring ’ Egypt for the Egyptians.’ England therefore wants peace with Ireland. Ireland wants peace with honor. She will not swear allegiance to England’s King. She will not tolerate a Governor-General. Now is the time to get our terms when England is in difficulties.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.

Mr Griffith' has ordered the Minister of Defence to cancel the army convention summoned for March 26, because the convenors proposed to remove the army from tho control of Da-il Eireanm—A. &nd N.Z. Cable.
