PEACE SOCIETIES ORDER
MEMBERS TO BAN PICTURES

Peace societies thruout the country
have issued a warning to their mem
bors that they must not attend the
aters during the performance OF
"Womanhood, the Glory of the Ma
ton" the big preparedness picture
which Is taking the entire country by
storm. In New York, Chicago, Phil
adelphia, st. Louis and Kansas City
audiences rose en- masse and with wild
enthusiasm cheered what Is without
doubt the most stirring appeal to
American patriotism ever exhibited.
The agitation of the anti-war; anti
preparedness advocates was started In
New York several days ago when they
caused to be inserted in the New York
Herald a personal reading:
"Warning-All members OF the
Emergency Peace Federation are
warned to remain away from the
Broadway theater during the run Of
'Womanhood' to avoid trouble with
war advocates"
The newspaper advertisement and
fight against the great preparedness
spectacle was inaugurated after
private showing was given for the
benefit OF some OF the leading mem
bcrs of the various peace bodies,
many of which are said to be In tho
control Of persons not over friendly
or loyal to the United States AS
result OF the screening Of the real
istic picture which shows what would
happen to the United States il un-
prepared and attacked by strong
foreign foe, was that several of the
peace advocates changed front and
became the strongest kind of pre-
parednCss supporters
"Womanhood" in It's terrific ar
rangement is clearer than any verbal
argument. Loyal supporters of the
United States. thru misunder-
standing OF what preparedness really
is gradually are forsaking the ranks
of the so-called peace societies and
the foreigners by whom some OF the
societies are led are endeavoring to
stem the tide. This is the reason
for the warning being snt to mem
bors Of these peace societies TO stay
away from all theaters showing
"Womanhood."

In the opening round Kilbane
crossed to the jaw with his right and
was always forcing. In the second he
crossed his right to the head and jaw

head and face. This right cross was
the heaviest blow struck in the match.
Welsh was short in his leads and
missed several swings in the third
and KIlbane had the better of the
round Kilbane scored frequently in
the fourth but Welsh opened up in
the fifth and outpointed his opponent.
From this point to the end Of the
bout KIlbane did most of the forcing

Welsh was the more frequent Of

In the seventh Kilbane had an op-
