A g reat A rm y of Peace h a t occu

An old lady walked from Leeds, and
.two g ran dm oth ers walked from Liv

A n oth er woman
trekked the whole 500 miles from Ab
erdeen to Charing Cross.
Such is the spirit which has actu at
ed the 7000 women who completed
their crusade against w ar by a huge
dem onstration in Hyde Park on S a t
urday.
T h ey have marched from
practically every p a rt of Scotland,
England, and Wales, spreading wide
their slo gan: “ Law, not war.”
An A rresting Spectacle

those who did n ot have blue coat*

was mounted on a white horse, and
who wore a Madonno-blue Crusader’«
cloak ornam ented with silver doves,
the procession stretched from the
Temple Station to Blackfriars Bridge.

Dissenting Voice
L am b erh urst is already notorious
as the one village in E ngland which
voted against the pilgrim «’ resolution
urging settlement of international dis
putes by arbitration.
T w o pilgrims from farthest n o rth
came from Dundee, dressed in their
blue tabards and shod with sandals.
T hey walked abo ut 70 miles, but at
Berwick were held up owing to the
strike.
T h e ir walk was m arred by
torrential rain«, but they marched on
in the spirit of true pilgrims.
At D u n b ar a gentleman took the
dripping pilgrims home to his wife,
who gave them tea, then offered some
fatherly advice — th at they should
give up the foolish idea and go home.
Needless to say, his advice was not
acted upon.
