A referendum vote on the question

his advocacy of the conscription
measure drew the bitter fire Of a
faction of the Australian labor party
of which he himself is member and
it is possible that the would-be as.
sassin belonged to a group of hts
most bitter opponents. He has fav
ored an unrelenting war on Germany
and it is possible also, that the at
tempt on his life was made by 4
Teutonic sympathizer.
The Australian prime minister is
SO years old. He was born in Wales
and went to Australia in 1884. He
figured prominently in trades uni N
affairs before becoming member Of
parliament and government official.
Premier Hughes only recently re-
turned from England where he Gre
ated a tremendous impression, being
hailed by the London press as the
greatest colonial imperialist who mad
ever visited London. He persisten.Iy
urged greater recognition of the COLO
MES in the council of the empire
after the war and was the first to
suggest the idea Of a trade wa-
against Germany.
His own labor union recently ex.
PEELED him for advocating the cen
scription measure, but he ignored the
