Wording Is Not Changed.


No change was made in the wording
of the banners destroyed today from
the wording of the banner used yester-
dav, regarded by their destroyers as
offensive in criticism of President viii
SON and Special Ambassador Root.
The fact that the demonstrations in
front Of the White House are being en-
gineered principally from the point of
view of obtaining publicity for them
was shown in an incident which occur
red today. One of the newspaper cor
respondents in the press room at the
White House called suffrage headquar-
tiers on the telephone to ascertain at
which White House gate the banner to
be displayed during the government
clerks luncheon hour was to be sta
toned.
(Which White House gate would you
prefer" the correspondents were asked.
1--WE will send the banner to either gate
that is most convenient for the newspa-
per correspondents"
Whereupon the correspondents were
informed that the banner would be dis
played at the gate nearest to the White
House press room.

Plans Are Not Disclosed.

How long the demonstrations are to
continue. unless they are eventually
stopped by the police department. could
not be ascertained. Miss Alice Paul,
the active head of the militant suffra-
gists at Cameron House, made a re-
mark today in which she alluded to
the demonstrations for Russian

The suffragists evidently attempted
to time their early morning display to-
day to have President Wilson see the
banner on his way back to the White
House from his usual morning game of
golf The President usually returns
about IL o'clock. but this morning he
returned about half-past 10. The first
banner today was missed by him. as he
reached the White House before it was
displayed.
