Hundreds of children with peace banners participated and or- ' der was maintained by special police j appointed by the workers. The parade was headed by Hjalmar ' Brantlng, the Swedish Socialist lead- j er, Pieter Troolstra, head of the : Socialist International Bureau, and j Camllle Huysmans. secretary of the ; Internationl Bureau.

TO LAND ARMY IN FRANCE [Continued From First Page] member of the alliance entitled to a most honorable seat at tne peace con ference. Some of those who have' vigorously opposed an early expeditionary force as interfering with the training of a larger army 'have modiiled their views as a result of the arguments | advanced by the military experts; with the French commission here that training can be much better i carried out in France within sound t of the guns. Nevertheless the op position of the staff has not wavered, j Up to Allies The amount ot tonnage that would be required for transport is usually put at about twenty tons per man in la fully equipped force. For the regu-1 lar American unit of 24,000 men, 1 nearly half a million tons therefore, would be necessary, or ships about equal to the seized German tonnage in American waters. It remains for j the allies to figure out if they can afTord to divert that amount of ship ping. lattle doubt exists that the French will gladly put up with any sacrifice necessary to have American troops in France, as the great plea of their mission has been for troops with the American flag. They have pointed out that this is needed to convince the Germans beyond doubt that all ! America's resources have been |thrown into the battle. French Arc Eager The British also arc known to be anxious to have American troops in France as a final earnest of American participation, but there is reason to believe that they have, taUen a some what more detached View than the French. Overcome by the whole heartedness of American co-opera tion in the war, they believe that the one essential is to marshal the common resources to the greatest advantage. With theilr responsibility for tonnage, their decision about the (advisability of sending an expedltlon j ary force is uncertain. • A^BabyWeek Baby tveek—we have had it in mind —just look at our windows and note the exquisite displays for tlic little ones.
