Mrs. Wilson sat with a number of
ladies at a table directly in front
of the presidents seat at the speak

ladies present at the breakfast.
In the gallery at the coliseum
was regular army of the "unem-
ployed" James Eads How, presi-
dent of the army, was on hand on
the floor of the hall with resolu-
ton directed to President Wilson
protesting against preparedness.

olution is making its way to the
president through three channels
personally by How, by special deliv-
cry and by telegraph. 1t was signed
by Chas. Kruse, national chairman

When President and Mrs. Wilson
entered the hall at 10;43 the great
crowd arose and cheered for two
minutes. Mrs. Wilson wore a hand
some black costume and violets took
the place of the usual bouquet of
orchids.
