PLEA FOR PEACE.
Romance of OnerWonaan who Bess
That Wars Boftvesn Nations
EN- May C%ass.

One of the most noted European
women in attendance at the interna-
tional council of women in London
was Baroness Won Suttner, the great
leader Of the peace party in Austria.
She is as well known on the continent
as our own Susan b. AnthonyniS here,
but while Miss Anthony's hobby is
suffrage" the baroness hobby is
"peace." ''
Back of her hobby there lies strong
motive power. When she was gay
young girl, moving in court circles at
Vienna, she became affianced to Prince
Wittgenstein, a match which was both
brilliant and desirable, for the prince
was a nobleman by nature as we'll as
by birth. Shortly after their engage
ment was announced the prince was
killed in battle, and for months the
young countess grieved for him, finally
conquering her sorrow, after being
transformed into a grave, thoughtful
woman, with great desire in her heart
to study the causes which create war
and do what she could to prevent them.
About 1883 she published a work en-
titled ''Die Waffen Nisder" Clay Down
Your Arms), which made her fame as
a thinker and has been translated into
almost every language. II promulgated
her views of the horrors of war in a
mastery, graphic way, and with a
charm of expression that made it's read
ers feel as she did.
The Austrian minister of finance said
when the book first appeared, and
when the budget for the army was be-
ing discussed: Gentlemen, I advise
you to study the romance, Die Waffen
Nieder,' for q few hours. I pity the
man who, after that, has any desire for
war"
III 1875, at the age of 80, her second
love romance came to her. She met
and married Baron Gundacar Won
Suttner, and her life with him has
been as perfectly happy as an earthly
union can be, and in spite of many
trials Baron and Baroness Suttner may
be said to be, and have been, a most
happy couple, which proves that the
baroness can practice peace as we'll as
preach it.
Baroness Suttner is gifted with won
dertul tact and a great charm of man
ner, and she has the pleasant gift Of
beautiful voice in speaking. She visit
ed the peace congress at The Hague
and many people who met her and
heard her talk were convinced by her
arguments that movement which they
had ridiculed was a beautiful POSSIBLE
ity.-St. Louis Republic.
