“LAW NOT WAR.”
WOMEN’S STRONG APPEAL. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright, .'ustrailan and N.Z. Cable Aeroclatl"” LONDON, June 20. Mostly dressed in blue tabards, crusaders’ cloaks and sandals, others in blue cloaks and armlets, whereon was the device of a white dove, carrying an olive branch, bearing banners inscribed “Law not War,” thousands of women of all ages and classes forming the peacemakers’ pilgrimage, lent a medieval aspect to Hyde Park. There was bright sunshine, for the culmination of- the march, which started a month ago' from the remotest districts, the walkers amassing volume as they approached London, dispensing propaganda en route, until every county in the Kingdom was represented by a forest of banners in Hyde Park, where a resolution was carried by acclamation on numerous platforms, urging the Government to settle international disputes by arbitration, and take a lead at the League Disarmament Conference, to show that Britain does not intend to appeal to force.
