Number of Independents in Field in
Hope of Ovcrturning Panel on Treaty
Issue-Free State Constitution Made
Public
DUBLIN, June 16 (Associated Press).
The voters of southern Ireland went
to the polls today to elect an Irish par
lament as provided under the terms Of
the Anglo-Irish treaty. Under the recent
agreement between the factions favoring
and opposing the treaty coalition panel
of candidates was presented at approx
mately the same ratio as shown in past
tests of strength in the Dali Eireann. A
number of independents have entered the
field in an attempt to overturn the panel
on the treaty issue.
The draft of the constitution Of the
Free State of Ireland agreed on at the
negotiations in London this week was
issued last night. 1t enables the people
of Southern Ireland. who go to the polls
today for the election of a constituent
assembly, to appreciate the main terms
upon which Ireland is offered admission
to the commonwealth of British nations.
Winston Churchill explained to the
the constitution will take depends upon
the result of these elections. 1t is for
the British parliament to decide later
whether it conforms to the treaty. In
its present form it is the view of the
British cabinet that it does.
In British ministerial circles it is not
known what Eamon de Valera's attitude
win be toward the revised constitution.
1T has been made plain, however, by the
British government that it stands by the
treaty and that it will not ratify the con-
stitution in any form which is not con-
sistent with the treaty.
Mr.. Churchill in the circumstances
postponed his statement to the house of
commons on the Irish negotiations until
next week, when the position of the
Southern Irish has been made clear.
The postponement of Mr. Churchill S
statement caused some disappointment in
the commons, but it is officially stated
that there is no ground for any sugges-
tion that there has been a hitch in the
negotiations The delay is simply to al
low the people of Ireland an unfettercd
choice of action in the elections and to
avoid any appearance of interference
.sftb or influence on the vote This was
made plain by Mr. Churchill in replies
he gave to questions addressed to him in
the commons.

FAT MAN OUT OF DATE

said Arthur E. Baird, speaking before
the Pilgrim Publicity association recent

nature made provision when it was inn
possible for man to eat all the year
round. Today it is possible to get food
in the winter, and the fat man is just
as foolish as if he lugged thirty pounds
of foodstuffs around with him in
bundle. - Mr.. Baird, a former Tufts
graduate and wrestling coach who is
now connected with the Gaines college
of physical culture, spoke on Physical
Education and Efficiency.
Diet and exercise were the two re-
quisites of health stressed by Mr.. Baird
and in the case of both he demolished

metal worker needs a fair amount Of
