About mini of the pacifists assem bled on the steps of the main entrance ipt the capitol and became so active that squads of police drove them to the broad plaza while small delega tions of the pilgrims jeered and hoot ed. The pacifists shouted replies and there was no mistaking foreign ac cents in the words of some of the shooters. There were n few clashes between the two parties but nothing in the nature of serious figbting or disorder. Some of those in the crowd persist ed in breaking through the police lines and mounting the steps. Police re serves were called and the pneifists were forced back while 'the police kept all persons wearing pacifist in signia on the move.
