Another organization which is intel

to conserve the welfare Of Young
America in France is the somewhat
recently launched American University
Union. Its purpose, in word, is to
provide home with the privileges of a
simple and inexpensive club for Ameri-
can college men passing through or in
Paris on furlough and so success fully
is its project being carried out that al

SOCIAL INSURANCE DEFEATED
California Recently Rejected
4 Compulsory Health lnsur-
ance Amendment.

Recent news items published
throughout Indiana announcing the
fact that legislators are planning to
hold conferences to discuss measures
to be considered at the coming Legis-
lature makes the information pertain
ing to the action taken in California
on compulsory health insurance of
peculiar interest. 1t seems that one
of the measures to be considered at
these conferences is that of Compul-
sorry Health Insurance for Indiana
and the verdict of the citizens of other
states Is of vital interest to the citl-
gems Of Indiana.
The following report of the vote on
the Compulsory Health Insurance
Amendment in California was pub
iished in The Christian Science Mont
tor OF November s:
San Francisco. Cal-The compuI-
sorry health insurance amendment
which. next to prohibition. was the
major factor in the recent political
campaign In California. has been de-
cisively defeated. although the re.
turns now available do not show the
exact vote. Returns from $500 out
of about 5000 precincts show a large
majority vote against the amendment
Three San Francisco precincts show
22,700 in favor, and $4,000 against it.
This proposed amendment to the
Constitution was TO enable the Legis-
latlre Is put a compulsory health in
surance system into effect. II being
strongly advocated by the State So
cial Insurance Commission that was
appointed to investigate the matter,
the State Federation of Labor. and
other bodies, on the ground that it
was in harmony with the general
movement for social and economic
justice
1T was widely opposed on the ground
that IL was un-American in nature.
that it invaded many constitutional
rights of individuals and was sub
versiYe OF American institutions, par
ticularly in connection wits its COM
pulsory and medical features II is
believed that another attempt will be
made to pass a similar measure
Similar action on the same measure
stitutional Convention last summer
when authority was for the second
time denied the State Legislature to
tablish systems of social insurance
in that state, the resolution having
been defeated by a vote of 107 TO 4S.
Serious objections have been raised
wherever this system Of insurance
has been advocated because OF the
fact that IT is OF Prusaian origin, and
is the outgrowth of paternalism in
government as advocated in Ger
many; the basic idea having been to
give this kind OF scheme TO the
working people in lieu of a living
wage. There is a we'll developed and
growing sentiment that such a move
is clearly contrary to American prin-
ciples where the working man is
given living wages and the liberty
and ability to buy what he wants.
Certain interests in America TO
whom this form of insurance would
mean large financial benefit. are
vigorously advocating the plan, en-
deavoring to give it an American set
ting which would have q tendency 70
make the people think II originated
in this country.
It seems, however, that the plan is
not meeting with much favor outside
the ranks OF those who hope 10 profit
by it.

PATRIOTIC CONVICTS
TARRED ALLEGED SPY
Four Hundred in the New Mexico Peni-
tentiary Took Major John M. Birk-
ner in Hand and Led Him About
with Rope Around His Neck.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, April ls.-Four hun.
dred convicts in the state penitentiary
yesterday afternoon tarred and feathered
and led with a rope about his neck Major
M. Birkner of Camp Cody, who is held in
the penitentiary as federal prisoner
Major Birkner is charged with violation
OF the espionage act.
Major Birkner, who was born in Mar
emberg, Germany. but who had been in
the American military forces for more
than 80 years, was arrested last Friday
at Camp Cody, where he was an officer in
the l27th field artillery. His home i, it
Lincoln, Neb
Birkner was allowed out in the prison
yard for exercise with the 400 conriets.
The warden knew nothing of what was
going on until he heard loud cheering
and rushed out in the yard to find Birk-
ner stripped and covered with tar ard
feathers. The prisoners with loud shouts
were leading him about the yard by
rope around his neck.
Assistant Superintendent Dugan res
cued him. The prisoners evidently in
accordance with a pre,arranged plot had
secured the feathers from their pillows,
but where the tar came from is mys-
terry.
Birkner is alleged to have made dis
loyal utterances such as you can't beat
the Dutch" and "the Germans will sink
American transports as fast as they are
sent over" Birkner claimed the charges
were spite work by subordinate officers
whom he had disciplined
