'07iioIS-"d paTdue, sponsored
by various pacihst organizations
marched up Broadway from Union
Square to Columbus Circle last night,
leaving an eddy or ripple behind it
here and there, where spectators elect
ed to settle the issue Of peace or war
with their fists, but otherwise finding
Broadway apathetic.
There were about 600 marchers. most
of them women. The parade was under
the auspices of the Women's Peace
Union of the Western Hemisphere, the
Women's Peace Society, the Fellowship
Of Reconciliation, the Society of
Friends and other organizations op-
posed to war.
1t was to have started from Union
Square at 1880 o'clock, but was an hour
late in getting under way. Street
meetings were held in Times Square
and at Columbus Circle, the largest
audience being collected at the latter
place. There were about 5000 persons
congregated about the speakers plat
form there.
Mrs. Willard at Head
Four mounted patrolmen in charge
of a sergeant cleared the way for the
marchers. At the head Of the parade
Mrs. Henry Willard and Mrs. J. Ser
geant Cram rode In an autom obile. The
paraders carried scores of banners
standards and transparencies inscribed
with slogans for the defeat of war and
the disarmament Of the world.
One of the most picturesque figures
in the line of march was Major Morris
Bernstein, custodian Of the Office of
John j. Lyons, Secretary of State, who
was in the uniform Of major of
zouaves, complete from fez to white
CATERS. He was busy distributing
cards inscribed with appropriate mot
toes. Broadway was paved with the
good intentions Of the parade after it
had passed.
Several Indian followers of Ghandi
were in line in native costume, the
women with caste marks on their fore
heads. At the very head of the parade
marched three Italian musicians blow
ing Justify on what were discovered tc
be Egyptian trumpets. An Egyptian
trumpet is like trombone that has
been stripped to the chassis.
Followers of the Bahai movement
also were among the marchers, one enc
of the banner proclaiming their iden-
tity being upheld by Urbain Ladoux
the "Mr. Zero" who was busy among
the unemployed last winter.
Broadway Uninterested
Below Times Square Broadway took
little interest in the passing pageant
The street meeting in the square at
tracted some attention, and spectators
stood about three deep along the curb
as the parade passed. Bishop Paul
Jones, whose resignation from the
Missionary Province of Utah, was ac-
cepted in 1918 by the House Of Bishops
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
following consideration of charges of
disloyalty, was the principal speaker
there.
Bishop Jones, who retained his title
and half pay after the acceptance Of
his resignation, wore light gray suit
and spoke from the running board OF
a taxicab. He would have stood bet
ter chance of making converts te
peace if his chauffeur had not pulled
up right alongside of Coney Island
sightseeing bus.

strong competitor. Between the efforts
of both of them they managed to fill
the bus in record time, but neither got
much applause.
More interest was evinced in Column
bus Circle, where the principal effort
of the evening was made. Scott Near,
ing, one of the speakers, declared that
the next great war would be between
the United States and Great Britain.
Scrap Enlivens Show
This statement led a freckled-armed
son of toll to proclaim that the whole
show was a piece of British propa-
ganda. There was a bit of scuffle be-
tween the freckle-armed opponent OF
Great Britain and youth who was
sure that the Germans were behind the
whole thing, and freckle arms emerged
triumphant, looking about in vain fol-
other challengers of his statement.
There were various other settos
along the line of march, but none o1
them of sufficient Importance to at.
tract the attention Of the police. There
didn't seem to be enough real interest
in peace along Broadway to stir up &
good fight.
Among the speakers were Norman
Thomas, of "The Nation: Prince Hop.
