MUST ACT TOGETHER
Several Persons Reported Killed in Demonstration
 of Pacifists in Switzerland

Paris, November 19.-A dispatch to the Havas agency from Zurich, Switzer- land, referring to the pacihst manifes- tation of Friday. says:
 Disorders of increased gravity broke out again last night. Two thousand persons assembled in the Place Helvetia and marched singing the Tnternation |. ar to the prison where were confined persons arrested in the riots of Fri day night. The blinds and windows of the prison were smashed and the police charged the mob with drawn sabres.
 ''The rioters again erected barricades and replied with volleys of stones, whereupon the police drew their re- volvers and fired. Four persons were killed, including one policeman, a young man of 20, an old woman and a boy of IA. A machine gun firing blank cartridges brought the trouble to an end at l o'clock in the morning"
 Other dispatches from Zurich and Geneva say the disorders at Zurich be- gan at meeting Thursday evening where two pacifsts, Dastwyler and
 
 lution. The orators called on their hearers to sustain the pacifist move- ment by refusing service in and sup plies for the Swiss army.
 Later the proposal was made to pro- ceed to a factory producing munitions for Germany Nearly a thousand per- sons assembled in the court of the fac tory and demanded that it suspend work. The mob began breaking win dows in the factory, the lights of which were put out. Then the crowd went to another factory and it was decided to close this concern after a conference with the two pacifist dele gates.
 A Zurich dispatch to La Presse says dozen persons were killed and large number were wounded and that the movement of the population has been prohibited in several quarters of the town. A dispatch to La Liberte says rioters smashed the presses and sacked the telegraph office and editorial rooms of the newspaper Neue zuricher Zeitung.
