de Valera's object- ifr re
turning to Ireland was
to resume active leadership of the
"Irish Provisional government" and
"rush forward the cause cf the Irish
Insurgents. He said de Valera had
accomplished a marvelous . feat In
circumventing the British blockade
around Ireland. He gave no further
particulars. A message of farewell to
America, dedicafel to America before
his departure, was given., out this
morning by Secretary Holland.
The message follows:
"'Land of the free and home of
the brave' Farewell! May you
ever remain as I have known you
the land of the generous hearted
and the kindly. May you stand thru
time as they would have yon who
love you -liberty's chosen cham
pion and oh! may you never know
yourself the agony of a foreign mas
ter's lash.
"I came to you on a holy mission,
the mission of freedom. I return
to my people who sent me. not in
deed as 1 had dreamed it with the
mission accomplished but withal a
message that, will cheer in the dark,
days that have come upon them
and that will inspire the acceptance
of such sacrifices as must yet bo
made.
"So, farewell! young, mighty,
fortunate hind! No wish that I can
express can measure the depth of
my esteem for you. or my desire for
your welfare and your glory. And
farewell the many dear rrleuds I
have made, and the tens of thous
ands who for the reason that I waa
the representative of a nuble na
tion and estorieil appealing cause,
gave ino honor they denied to prin
ces. You will not need to be assur
ed that Ireland will not forget and
that Ireland will no be ungruteftll."
