BRITISH soLoIERs\ VOLUNTEER.
Mon Recently War Weary Now Anxi.
Gus to Re.snter Army.

| Correspondence Associated Press.
| London, Feb. 16.AThousands OF the
British army who recently became SO
war weary that they openly threatened
mutiny unless they we're discharged,
have turned about face and are volun-
teering for the new army, according to
the military authorities. who assert
that there will be little difficulty in Sc
curing the 100000 men who will do
Great Britain's share in safeguarding
the peace the allies have won.
The causes said to have sent the men
floc!lrg back to the colors are the I'M
expected large war bonus offered to
men who take on" and the acu e in
iustrial situation. The first factor has
been Of prime importance in the case CT
boys f,om 10 to q who have been two
or more years already in the army and
who have no trade to fall back upon in
civilian life. In the new army they will
be led, clothed and sheltered and draw
q minimum of about five dollars u
week as pocket money. They have
quickly awakened to the realization
that there is no such prospect await
ling them on a return to "civvies.''
| The Industrial upheaval plays the
men. Jr the first rush for denobiliza-

had not definite offer of empio ,'Nert.

make Ger tain that such offers were

found themselves in an uncnviabie
position. They could not get work and
they faced some very uncomfortable
inquiries # they applied for the out-of-
work pay provided for those WIN are
idle through no fault of their own. The
recruiting sergeant was an easy rad
out Of their troubles and that astute in :
dividual who draws bonus for each
recruit, was not blind to his op Jor:un-

WHY SUPPORT lTq

The American Federation of La
Dor through its executive council
endorses the strike of the coal min
crs, promises its support, and asks
the American public to support the
strike.
The American public will not sun
port anything that tries to deprive il
of fuel at the beginning of the win
ter season. Any movement which
means the propagation of inflenza
and the paralysis of all forms OF in
dustry and commerce is as unpopu
lar movement with the American poo.
pie, If there is no coal the people,
perish
The people realize that the coal
barons are at fault in their attitud
toward the men. They know the me-
had cause for dissatisfaction They
sympathjze with the mon in their
endeavor to make life more liveabls
in the arduous existence at the mines
But the people are not for this strike.
They believe the men. could have ar
ranged the matters with less suffer
ing on the part of the public, despite
the stubbornness Of the operators
They believe that when the Presid M
Of the United States informed the
men that this strike would be illegal
the strike order should have becu
withdrawn. They believe the strir
at this time is unjuStified, not because
Of the insufficiency the grievance
but because of the danger to our M
tiOnal existence.
Government ownership of the
mines may be the ultimate outcome
Of this struggle, and that would he
a good thing for the men. But The
men are not encouraging argumen!
for government ownership by strik
ing against the orders of every
branch Of the government.
The A. F. of L. for once has made
an appeal for public support which
will not bring response.

VOTE IN SENATE;

ponent, Announces He
Will Back 1t.

Washington, May 22-The wo-
man suffrage constitutional amend
ment resolution which was passed
yesterday by the house, gained an
other vote in the senate with the
announcement today by Senator
Hale, Republican of Maine, that he
would support it. Senator Hale
voted against the resolution at the
last session. Suffrage supporters
had claimed sufficient votes to en-
sure adoption of the resolution in
the senate.
Senator Hale's announcement
was made in a telegram sent to
Colonel Fred N. Dow, of Portland,
Maine.
Explains Change OF Mind.
After explaining that his vote
was cast against the resolution. at
the last senate, session because his
state defeated woman suffrage in
the referendum in 1917, the SEN
ator said he felt justified in sup
porting it now in view of the recent
action of the state legislature in
granting presidential suffrage
franchise to the women of Maine.
IF they are qualified to vote in
a presidential election" said Sen
ator Hale, they certainly are quail
ltied to vote in any other election"
