Felix Mahony, cartoonist and gen.
eral good fellow, of Washington, d.
c., has revolted.
He has been called a pacifist, and
has been embarrassed time and again
to explain why he has changed his
belligerent attitude suddenly of late
and Identified himself with members
OF the Emergency Peace Federation.
Felix Mahony is a pacifist, and he
came all the way from New York to
urge Congress to vote against war.
But the Felix Mahony, of New York,
is not Felix Mahony OF Washington.
and neither knows the other nor de-
sires to form an acquaintance.
Felix 'Mahony. a pacifist, of New
York, took a prominent part in the
peace demonstration here last week,
and his name was printed in the
newspapers. The publicity thus
given Felix, however, was miscon-
strued. and friends of the Washing.
ton Felix continually stopped him on
the street and bombarded him with
pleas to mend his ways and not be a
pacifist.
But Felix said he wouldn't mend his
ways. They had him all wrong, said
Felix, and he'd never broken his
ways.
