PROTEST
FEEDING OF HUNS;
HIKE TO CAPITAL
President of American Relief
League Announces, That 100
Members Of Organization
Will Protest Measure.
(By Universal Seryice.)

New York, April S.-Women to
the number of 100 or more will hike
from here to Washington pausing
enroute to make speeches as a pro-
test against the policy OF feeding the
Germans, and loosening the embar-
go upon German-made goods for
import while state of war exists,
it was announced by Mrs. Oliver
Cromwell Field, president of the
American Relief league. The de-
cision to make the hiking protest
was reached following receipt of dis
patches that the importation of ad-
ditional cargoes of German made
toys and possibly other things, in
GLIDING dyestuffs, would be permit
ted by the war trade board.
The hike will follow the general
lines and route of that led in 1918
by General" Resale Jones whose
famous suffrage pilgrimage at
tracted wide attention. Meetings
will be held in every town, hamlet
and city all the way to Washing
ton. The hardships of the hike will
be as nothing to the women when
their fervor has been properly
aroused. according to Mrs. Field.
She expects to have the ranks of the
mixers swelled as they proceed, al
lowing the defections caused by the
rigors of marching in high heeled
shoes and other discomforts.
The time has come for a sensa-
tional protest against the govern
ment's policy" declared Mrs. Field
last night. Il believe that march
to Washington by patriotic group
of women who are willing to suffer
hardships that national attention
may be called to the menace of Ger
man importatiops would help the
cause. Ordinary methods we have
learned, have no effect whatsoever
on Our federal officials"
