Francis Sheehy Skeffington murder discussed in New York 13 January 1917 - The widow of Francis Sheehy Skeffington has taken her husband's case to New York. In an interview with the New York Times, Hanna Sheehy Skeffington says she was determined to come to America to tell people about 'my husband's murder', despite the British government's refusal to give her a passport. 'I am not willing to tell how I got here', she said, before adding that she had been forced to adopt a disguise to elude the British authorities. She is accompanied by her 7-year old son, Owen. She compared the behaviour of the British in Ireland to that of the Germans in Belgium. She also predicted that the attempted introduction of conscription to Ireland would end in another Rising.

Gluaiseacht nua litríochta curtha ar bun Baile Átha Cliath, 22 Márta 1917 - Cá bhfuil litríocht nua na Gaeilge? Sin an cheist a chuir an scríbhneoir Pádraic Ó Conaire i leathanacha An Chlaidheamh Soluis le déanaí. Ní féidir le haon teanga éirí as an marbhántacht, a dúirt sé, gan dá rud: dream daoine nach labhraíonn ach an teanga sin; agus nua-litríocht láidir domhain á cumadh inti. Gan an dá choinníol sin a chomhlíonadh ‘is cinnte go bhfuighidh teanga bás’. Agus inniu má tá ceachtar acu chun creill bháis na teanga a bhualadh, sé an dara ceann é, dar leis an gConaireach. Is ar Chonradh na Gaeilge a chuireann sé an milleán: ‘Le bliadhantaibh fada níor chuireadar aon leabhar Gaedhilge amach. Bhfuil dearmad déanta ag an uile dhuine ar chuspóir de chuspóiribh an Chonnartha? Nár cuireadh ar bun é le nuadh-litridheacht a sholáthar san nGaedhilge?’ Ach tá leigheas aige. An plean ná míle duine ar fud na tíre, a mbeadh suim acu i litríocht nua Gaeilge a cheannach, a cheangal le chéile agus cumann nó ‘ridireacht’ liteartha a chur ar bun. D’fhéadfaí cúigear den mhíle sin a thoghadh le bheith ar choiste eagarthóireachta; dhéanfaidis meas ar lámhscríbhinní a sheolfaí chucu agus dá gceapfaidis go raibh fiúntas ar leith in aon cheann acu, é a chur i gcló. Críochnaigh Ó Conaire le gairm chun gnímh: ‘Cuirtear an Ridireacht nuadh seo ar bun – an Ridireacht Liteardha seo – agus bíodh gach Ridire bhéas ann faoi gheallamhaint agus faoi mhóid a dhithcheall a dhéanamh le fíor-litrigheacht Gaedhilge a chothughadh.’ ‘Cé chuirfeas tús leis an deágh-obair seo?’ [Editor's note: This is an article from Century Ireland, a fortnightly online newspaper, written from the perspective of a journalist 100 years ago, based on news reports of the time.]
