New-York tribune., 1918-11-27

impromptu parade at Times Square,
marched to Fifty-third Street, along
Broadway, screeching and bowling.
They returned to Times Square by way
of side streets, where they upset every
ash and garbage can they came across
and then dispersed.
Amiable on Inside
From the inside the meeting was
amiable and pacific. The police, both
military and civil, made a conspicuous
showing.
The meeting was opened by Crystal
Eastman, who read the "seven points
promulgated by the league, and asked
all those who favored them to sign and
send them to their congressman. These
points were:
1. That censorship, national and in
ternational, over mail, telegraph, cable
and wireless shall cease.
"2. That the espionage acts, one and
two, shall be repealed and that all polit-
lcal prisoners convicted under these
acts shall be released.
"3. That the selective service act
shall be repealed and all conscientious
obJectors re .eased.
"a. That American troops shall be
withdrawn at once from Russia and. as
soon as practicable, from France; and
that no part Of the American army re-
naming in Europe during the peace ne
gotiations shall be used to suppress So
cial revolutionary movements in any
country.
'5. That there shall be women dele
gates from America sent to the peace
conference.
"6. That there shall be no hindrance,
by denial of passports or otherwise,
to the gathering of all accredited rep
other groups at the time and place Of
the official peace conference, or at
any other time or place.
"7. That America shall stand at the
coming world conference for true
Wilson peace-for the full meaning
and intention of the fourteen points
as first stated, and, above all, for q
democratic league of all nations. based
upon free trade and universal dis
armament"
Herbert c. Pell, jr., Congressman
elect from the 18th District, came
down from the balcony and surprised
the audience by making remarkably
conservative address upholding the ac-
ton of the government in intervening
in Russia, basng his attitude on the
fact that the United States is q prac-
tical government, working toward the
greatest good for the greatest number;
that riots never bring good and that
the way to attain a desired end is by
representing a ma ajority sentiment.
Oswald Willard Speaks
Albert Rhys Williams, ex-Unitarian
Belgium and now a sort of publcit,
representative Of the Foreign Bureau
of Soviets, spoke, and Oswald Willard,
former editor of "The Evening Post"
ventured to protest against the con-
tinued censorship Of the press.
Then Mr.. Williams started things by
asking II the soldiers on the outside
couldn't be brought 20 he party inside.
and everybody looked riotous and antic-
iratory. But nothing happened. and
Mr. Williams brought the evening to a
close by declaring that Allied interven-
ton was wholly responsible for the
starving Of the women and children in
Russia, because of the checking Of the
wheas supply from Siberia.
AS the dust and confusion about
Madison Square Garden cleared away
yesterday and the last bedraggled So
cialist limped off to the more con-
genial seclusion Of the Peoples House.
police and military authorities joined
voices in emphatic expression of that
determination.
