THE WAR
DAYTON, O., March l3.-Four praying
and singing divisions of about twenty
women each visited the usual number Of
saloons to-day, in spite of the cold wealth
er. They enjoyed
PEACE EVERYWHERE,
and were hardly offended by the rudest of
tpplers at the bars which they visited.

them to occupy the bar rooms. This Is q
GREAT CHANCE,
but it does not indicate any relaxation IN
the determination Of the ssloonists TO per-
sist in their business. There have been
no conquests, and there are no prospects
of any. Another great mass meeting is
going on this evening.
