strations by strikers on advice of their
leaders planned a parade today under
sanction of city officials. With veterans
remaining aloof. yesterdays parade OF
strikers failed to repeat the scene OF
three preceding days when Parliament
House was visited.
Possibility of trouble between return 3
ed soldier factions over the question
OF approving the general strike be-
came apparent today. After the ma

cent boisterous parades in which some
returned soldiers participated, arranged
for the parade. leaders of the minority
faction declared they also would march
In separate demonstration.
Executives of the Great War Vet
erans' Association declined to recognize
the action of about 700 members who
passed resolutions last night approving
the sympathetic strike of winnipeg
unions. 1t was pointed out that there
are about 10000 members OF the WIN
nipeg association and that an over
whelming majority of the members de-
clined to attend the gathering.
. A number of returned soldiers were
seen on the streets this morning wearing
Canadian flags on their coats. STRIKE
! sympathizers who figured in the recent
I psrades objected to the wearing OF the

from the coats of several men.

Poor Fish! Might Just
as Well Blame EN-

Don't know what the country's
rushing to.
Here comes Dad Swartz. of
Lansdalc, veteran sportsman, whose
rod and gun exploits cover nearly
half a century, with the saddening
statement
There was a time when quail
we're as thick in Montgomery county
as grasshoppers," he said, "and the
waters of Neshaminy in Bucks were
as full Of fish as there are gold fish
in a bird store aquarium. Why,
even the stiimps and fallen logs
along the Neshaminy are worn
smooth from being sat upon"
dad" was moved to say this
because one Of the members of the
North Penn Gun Club, of Norris
town, said that there was so much
sport in the Delaware Gap section
that the rough edges of the rocks
along the streams were worn away
by the many rambling feet OF in
spired Izaak Waltons.

walked to the neighborhood where the
foster mother. Mrs. Coughlin's sister

ing in the street.
II called her to come with me, Mrs.
Coughlin said today, ''and she was so
tickled. told her to leave her kiddy
car, I'd buy her another, and I brought
her home. I've no clothes for her now,
