LONDON, June 8.-The international
Council Of Women opened to-day. the
Countess of Aberdeen. president OF the
council, in her address. after cordial
words of welcome, sketched the duties
OF the council. She said international ar
bitration had ever been placed foremost
in it's programme advocated the estab-

information regarding all that ahects
women. and warned women against ar
rogating to themselves alone the duties
of curing all evils. saying

In conclusion. the Countess OF Aber-
deem deprecated the idea usually formed
about women's congresses, that they were
bent upon devising plans whereby women
might be omancipated from home duties
saving: This congress holds fast to the
belief that woman's first mission must be
