HOPE ID HAVE MANY
 RECRUITS FOR WIND UP
Regardless Of Their Virgil About the White House Gates the President Has Shown No Indications of Way. ering in Opposition to Federal Amendment

Washington, March 3.-Enerclilg the white horze with a chain of pur- pie, white and gold, woman suffra- gists will bring to a climax tomorrow in two-hour silent demonstration their siege of President Wilson on be- half of federal suffrage amendment.
 About thousand women, members of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage and the National Women'5 Party, have enlisted to lengthen for the final watch the line of pickets on guard at the white house gates for the last six weeks, encompas sing the pres ident's comings end goings to impress him in the last days of his first term with their determination to have the ballot.
 Only in a modified form, however, will the demonstration follow plans that had been lad to reproduce the march of the IsraelHes around Jericho. At first it was proposed to circle the white house seven times with seven priestesses carrying the suffrage ark and accompanied by a Tong blast of the rams hoen," the citadel signifying to the suffraglsts the stronghold of opposition to the cause was abandoned has not been made entirely clear by the women's leaders, some of them ex- plainng that the critical international situation would make such a demon stratlon appear in bad taste and others limiting that some of these in the suf- fraee ranks thought it might seem to border on the sacreigious. Still oth- CTS say the more elaborate scheme was abandoned because 1t wes consd- cred no longer necessary. They were optimistic that the walls of the Jericho thev have besieeed will cromble soon beneath the gentler influence O. silent Bht they do not claim to have definite basis for their hopes. Outwardly, at least, the president has shown no sign of wavering in his op- position to a federal amendment, and bis preference for suffrage by state enactment.
 Tomor7ow's demonstration, the most remarkabel, perhaps, of all those that have characterized the fight for eqtAl suffrage, will be timed to begin at pm, three hours after the officia- be- ginning of the new presidential term Forming at the union headquarters in a nearby street the line will proceed past the white house. encompass the semicircular southern boundary of the grounds next to the ellipse pass up the street between the white house anu the state, war and navy building, and back to the east on Pennsylyania ave nue. The line l5 tc be kept at atten- ton.
 Miss Dawa Milholland of New York, a younger sister of Mrs. lnez Milho!- land Boissevain, reyered among the
 ufragettes as a martyr to the cause, will lead the march. Behind her will be borne the old banner heralding a suffrage amendm ent, carried for many years tn suffrage rarades over the continent Then will come group of state delegations and last of al the rank and file Of women, including law yers. doctors, social leaders, nurses and stenographers.
 Besides bringing to a closer the white house picketing, the march around the white house win wind up q three.day convention here at which the Congressional Union and the Wo- mems Party were merged under the presidency of Miss Alice Paul of Penn Sy.vania.
