- Wilfred Talbot Smith
joins the M∴M∴M∴; the British branch of the O.T.O.
[7]
- in early January Crowley
is on a bus proceeding up Fifth Avenue in New York
City when a man by the name of O'Brien asks him if
he was "in favor of a square deal for Germany and
Austria." When Crowley answers in the positive he is
given the man's card and invited to come to his
office at a paper called The Fatherland at a
later date. When Crowley eventually visits the
office he instead meets
George Sylvester Viereck
and ends up writing pro-German articles for The
Fatherland, the first being “Honesty
is the Best Policy.” which appears in print on 13
January.

- At
dawn Crowley,
Leila Waddell
and eight others, including J. Dorr and Patrick Gilroy,
steer a thirty-foot launch from the recreation pier of West
Fiftieth Street down the Hudson River, into the Bay, and
stop off Bedloe's Island under the Statue of Liberty. At
4:32 A.M. Crowley begins a ceremony to declare the
independence of the Irish Republic. An Irish flag is
unfurled, an English passport is torn up and scattered onto
the water, and the Declaration of Independence of Ireland is
read. The launch then proceeds up the Hudson river with
Leila Waddell playing patriotic Irish airs on her violin.
The party then lands the launch and goes to Jack's
restaurant for breakfast. See the
New
