THOUSANDS MARCH TO LONDON FOR PEACE PAGEANT.
MONSTER DEMONSTRATION TO TAKE PLACE HYDE PARK * By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—ComVlcht Aus. and N.Z. Gable Association. LONDON, June 19. The advance guard of thousands of women, comprising mothers, sweethearts and wives, who marched from Parts of England, Scotland and Wales, reached London on Friday night in preparation for a great peace pageant to be held in Hyde Park to-day. The women are arriving from all points of the compass, some having marched more than 200 miles. Every town and village en route swelled the numbers. At Hyde Park the leaders will present a resolution, already adopted by countless towns and villages, to the effect that law should replace war in the settlement of international disputes. This will be supported by famous men and women. Then, with massed opinion behind them, the pilgrim peacemakers hope to bring pressure to bear on the Government to take such a lead in the proposed disarmament conference that war will be rendered impossible.
