GREAT INCREASE
 IN PERSONS TO
 VOTE IN IRELAND

Dublin, July 13.-The number of persons entitled to vote in Ireland will be increased nearly 150 per cent. under the new franchise law giving everyone who has lived in Ireland six months the right to vote. The fran chise is extended to women over thir- ty years old who are the wives of electors.
 The city of Dublin has had up to now about 10000 voters. In future 1t will have 100000.
 The effect on Irish politics general ly is expecteds to be to increase the voting strength of the Sim Fein par ty, since the larger part of the addi- itonal voters will be young men, and the young men are mostly Sim Fein- CTS.
 Their suspicious as to the inten- tiOns of the government with regard to conscription very nearly kept thou sands of them off the new voters lists, for, when the forms were sent out re- quiring information as to age and res | idence they saw in it plot of the gov ernment to facilitate their enroll ment as conscripts. Their leaders, however, promptly allayed their fears | and issued orders encouraging them to secure the franchise.

Those who have given their time and strength to this important work have | felt a keen satisfaction over what they were doing, as well as in the kind of work done.

GEN. EDDY SUED BY ENLISTED MAN
 FOR S5O,OOO

New York, July 13-Didore Shus- ter pianist and music teacher, has filed suit for s5O,OOo damages against Brig. Gen. John G. Eddy, who re- tired two years ago as commander of the Second Brigade of the New York National Guard. Sinister, who is now in the army, charges that the old soldier slandered him before a Brook lyn draft board.
 The marriage of Sinister and Miss Elsie Ray Eddy, Gen. Eddy's niece, April 4. 1913, occasioned much sur prise in Brooklyn. She was 40 and well known as a soprano and an alumnus of Adelphi College. He was her music pupil. 22, with prospects of career of exceptional promise.
 Young Shuster and his bride lived at PIP Clifton place. Brooklyn. The pianist registered with the draft board of his district and was placed in Class 1B, which includes men who fail to support their wives.
 Shuster charges that the draft boards action was the result of un- Just accusations made by Gen. Eddy. He says Gen. Eddy told member of the board that Sinister had failed to support his wife and had married her for money. As a result of these statements, Sinister adds, he was greatly humiliated and disgraced ana lost not only music pupils but friend. as well.
 He sought the board and asked tha' he be placed in Class IA, so that ht could go to France without stigmf on his name. but this was refused He is now with the National Arm, en route to France. according to hi lawyer, Samuel A. Langfur.
 Mrs. Sinister is the daughter of tn late William P. Eddy. She foundet the Laurier club and is actively in terested in settlement work.
