and anti-pacifist pilgrims bcuiegcd
official Washington, today in an
eleventh-hour effort tu inl'luenco con
gTess toward their respective views
of imiH'iuIiiig war with Ucnunny.
Street paradiner was denied both In-
police orders, but the program of
each culled for unorganized sidewalk
processions to Hie capitol, where
stJators and representatives might
be canvassed for their peace or war
i ideas.
Simultaneously thousands of tcle-
Brums from all parts of the country
4jiourcd into upon the capital and
white house, either praying for pence
or urging drastic action to uphold
American rights and honor.
In Patriotic Attire,
rings floated from nejn-Iv mwv
window in downtown Wn shingloii,
Horn Houses in the residential sec
tions and automobiles carried red,
white and blue banners, lien im.l
women wore flags on their coats and
children carried them to school. The
day was marked by a show of patriot
ic fcrver seldom equalled in Wash
ington. .Must pacifists came here from New
York and other cities under the di
rection of the Emergency l'eace Fed
eration. They arranged a meeting
this afternoon to act on resolutions
and petitions and a mass meeting for
tonight.
The nnti-pacifisls. callina- them
selves "pilgrims of patriotism," came
lroin a number ot eastern cities, mar
shalled by n New York citizens' com
mittee to neutralize the effect of the
anti-war forces.
Keep Out of War.
The delegations of pacifists as
semliled at heiidcUartors of the Kmer
genoy l'eitce federation and were fur
nished with white aim hands henriw
in large black letters the inscription
"Keep Out of War."
Louis 1'. Lnrhiicr was directing tin
activities of the pacifists.
"If we should fail to prevent war,'
he said, "we will continue to work
for pence just as certain people in
England have done all during this
war in Kurope."
Delegations of pacifists held "war
protest" meetings in their respective
sennlofV offices.
Folic Summoned.
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.
Senator l'omerone of Ohio, indig
' nnnt over nrguments of an Ohio pa
cifist delegation visiting him, told
them :
"Yu are the best allies the kaiser
has."
Senator Martin, democratic lender,
received petitions demanding the ous
ter of Senator Stone as chairman of
&e foreign relations committee be
cause of his altitude on the armed
ship bill.

stepmothers and was born "at the foot
ot the Herkshlres."

to kill himself if tho child Is taken
from him, Dorothy was given to tho
care of Sirs. Henry Dexter, a leade
