An O.B.E.

Mr. Malone, who was returned for East Leyton in 1918, entered the Royal Navy in 1905. During the War he served with distinction, and was mentioned in despatches. In the Christmas Day, 1914, raid on Cuxhaven, he commanded the R.N.A.S. units. In consequence of a speech delivered at the Albert Hall on November 7 last, he was on November 20 last, sentenced at Bow Street Police Court to six months' imprison- ment in the second division under Reg. 42 of the Defence of the Realm Act for having committed an act likely to cause sedition and disaffection among the civil population. The speech was made at a meeting organised by the " Hands off Russia " Committee and Communist Party of Great Britain. Mr. Malone was arrested in Dublin when about to address the members of the Medical Society of Trinity College on Bolshevism. Mr. Malone was married shortly after his release. 445
