 PAClFICISTS MEETING
/ Associated Press.

Wis, where they were attempting Co stage d peace meeting, were today grontel an asylum and permission to hold the convention at first scheduled for south Carolina, by Mayor Thompson.
 The pacifcists accordingly com menced their little pow-wow without opposition in the West Side Audi torium today. NJ police were on hand and there were few persons present aside from tho pacidclsts and the newspaper men. Outsiders apparently paid no attention to the convention. Governor Lowden Orders Dispersal of
 Paoficists.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 3,-After remain ing for about three hours, the meet ing of the organization committee of the Peoples Peace Council of America was dispersed by the local police on telcgraphic orders from Governor Low den this afternoon. Interest in the conflict of authority between the may or and Governor Lowden is further en- hanccd by the announcement that the governor has ordered troops to proceed to Chicago from Springfield to back up the order to stop the peace advo- cates.. Before the dispersal took place the pacifcists adopted resolu- tions and a platform calling for the progressive disarmament of all na- tions and the repeal of tho conscrip- tion law by the United States.

halted. The reports indicate no more
fighting but scores of local advances

skirmishing.
The Germans maintain grip or

latter hold is slowly being shacken
by repeated British thrusts.
Haig confines his report to the cap
ture of German positions near Chev-

counter attacks.
