ANTI-WAR STRIKE
American S tuclenls (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 10.0 p.m.) New York, April 23. Half a million students all over the United States staged their third annual anti-war strike to-day, beginning at 11 o’clock in the morning and lasting an hour. Although disorders vzere expected and the police gave special attention to schools and colleges only a minimum of trouble was reported. Mass meetings were widely held and for the first time the “Oxford oath” was introduced; modified, it read: “We will refuse to support any war which the United States Government undertakes.” Among the large universities where students participated were Columbia. Yale and Princeton. One of the few scenes of disorder occurred at Temple University, Philadelphia, where opposition developed and part of the student body mauled the strikers.
