A woman carrying a peace sign and an American flag marches through Washington, D.C., in a demonstration tied to a disarmament conference. The record dates the picture only to 1914 through 1922, but the title points to the postwar push for arms limits, and the best-known conference of that kind in the capital was the Washington Naval Conference of 1921 and 1922, which brought the major naval powers together to restrict warship building. Street demonstrations like this one show how peace advocates used public marches to press their cause. The photograph comes from the National Photo Company, a commercial studio that recorded everyday life in the capital during those years.
