Page from The Bystander showing two officers holding the battered remnants of a bowler hat belonging to a 'peace crank' orator in Trafalgar Square, London. The magazine comments that the behaviour is not becoming in officers and gentlemen and that they should not take any part in breaking up political meetings. In fact, a week later, The Bystander magazine was forced to publish an apology. The men were in fact recruiting officers and had been handed the hat after a scuffle.
