THE PEACE CRUSADE IN OLDHAM - NEWSPAPER LETTERS

OLDHAM CHRONICLE
10th August 1917 (Friday)
THE PEACE MEETING

Sir, I read the article by 'Adrian' in last Saturday's Weekly Chronicle with some interest and surprise. He says, "Let no one fear to talk of peace." In view of what happened in the town on Monday night it will be rather interesting to know what this gentleman purposes doing to safeguard the rights of those townspeople who in future will may desire to act upon the suggestion.
Yours etc.,
F. PARKER
