PAVLOVA ON LYTTELTON WHARF.
Thousands Of Women March For Peace Through Britain.
COUNTRY-SIDE DEMONSTRATION CULMINATES IN GREAT MEETING IN HYDE PARK. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.—Reuter’s Telegrams. (Received June 21, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 20. Mostly dressed in blue tabards, crusaders’ cloaks and sandals, though some wore blue cloaks and armlets, on which was the device of a white dove carrying an olive branch, and bearing banners inscribed, “ Law, Not War.” thousands of women of all ages and classes, forming a Peacemakers’ Pilgrimage, lent mediaeval 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 amassed 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 the numerous platforms urging the Government to settle international disputes by arbitration, and to take a lead at the League Disarmament Conference to show that Britain does not intend to appeal to force.
