Big Sensation
for Inaugural
Will EncirClc the White House With
Chain of Purple, White and
Gold for Their Cause

WASHINGTON, March S-Encir-
cling the White House with Il chain of
purple. white and gold, woman suf-
fragists will bring to climax tomor-
row in IA two-hour silent demonstra-
tlon their siege of President Wilson
on behalf of federal suffrage
amendment About a thousand wo-
men. members Of the congressional
union for woman suffrage and the ma
tiOnal woman's party have enlisted to
lcngthen for the final watch the line
of pickets of guard at the White
House gates for the last six weeks, en-
comprising the presidents comings
and going to impress him in the last
days of his first term with their de
termination to have the ballot.
In Modified Form.
Only in a modified form. however,
will the demonstration follow plans
that had been laid to reproduce the
march of the lsraelitcs around jericho.
At first it was proposed to circle the
White House seven times with seven
priestesses carrying the suffrage ark
and accompanied by long blast OF
the rams horn" the citadel signilying
to the suffragists the stronghold OF
opposition to the cause of suffrage by
federal amendment. Why that method
of attack was abandoned has not been
made entirely clear by the women's
leaders, some of them explaining that
the critical international situation
would make such a demonstration ap-
pear in bad taste and others limiting
that some of those in the suffrage
ranks thot it might seem TO border on
the sacreligiOus.
Leaders Confident.
Still others say the more elaborate
scheme was abandoned because it was
considered no longer necessary. They
are optimistic that the walls OF
Jericho they have besieged Will
crumble soon beneath the gentler in
fluence of silent methods. But they
claim to have definite basis for then
hopes. Outwardly, at least, the presi-
dent has shown no sign of waNcring
in his opposition to "A federal amend
ment and his preference for suffrage
by state enactment.
