REFERENDUM ON WAR
New York Trihunel


A referendum on war, with the pro-
vision that "all those voting in favor
Of the declaration of war be compelled
TO take up the active prosecution Of
the same before those who voted
against the declaration of war" has
been proposed at the convention OF the
American Federation of Labor.
Imagine a foreign country, moved
by the forces of evil, declaring war
against the United States. While
they attack our-coasts the government
viii print and distribute ballots. AS
the enemy lands, polling places will
be opened. As the strategic points
of the country are seized the vote will
be counted. While an indemnity is
being demanded the names of those
voting against war will be transferred
to a preferred slackers' list While
the indemnity s being paid, those IA
vOring the war will repSII for duty.
In this manner viii be interests of
the people be protected and safe
/ guarded and war be abolished. Why
not go one step further and advocate
passive submission?

Sims Flags Irish
Sympathizers at
British Luncheon

London. June Rear Admiral
William S. Sims, L. S. ~, advised
Britons and Americans 10 disregard
dangerous propaganda circulated in
America by your erSemies and ours"
in addressing luncheon of the Eng
lish Speaking Union here today.
In denouncing American hyphen-
ates" Admiral Sims said:
Il do not want to touch on the
Irish question, for l know nothing
about it and ! haven't found any
Englishman who does. But there are
many in our country who technically
are Americans, some of them natur-
allied and some born there, but none
of them American at all. They are
Americans when they want money
but Sim Feiners when on the plat
form. They are making war on Am.
erica today. The simple truth of it
is that they have the blood of Brit
tish and American boys on their
hands for the distractions they plac-
ed in the way of the most effective
operation of the Allied naval forces
during the war"

insures future happiness. Such is
the romance in The Easy Road"
starring Thomas Meighan, which will
be shown at the Strand theatre to-
day.
The husband, who in spite of hard =
ships has achieved fame as q novel
list. settles down on easy street with
his rich wife to enjoy life. But with
pleasure as his false idol. his life
and his character deteriorate. His
wife. in the hope of renewing his
ideals goes abroad. The novelist
goes from bad to worse. He is about
to commit suicide when something
happens that inspires him anew and
he again becomes the man of old.
The wife returns. half thinking to get
Il divorce and marry another. The
ensuing episodes show how both find
