interesting conventions that Boston

grceted--the tenth biennial convcn-
ton of the General Federation of Wo-

members of the organization, who in

Baroness Bertha Won Suttner of Wen

of the Japanese Russian treaty con

been hnnored with one of the Nobel
peace prizes the Countess of Meath;
the Baroness Won BueloW-W cnhausen
