Miss Doris Stevens Gives
Vivid Description Of Meet
ing at Mrs. o. H. P. Bel
mont's Palatial Home and
Plans for Summer Head
quarters.
By MILDRED DILLON.

When it was suggested that I organ
ize a summer campaign in Newport.
Americas most fashionable watering
place, it was with mingled feelings Of
exhilaration and trepidation that con-
sented." said Miss Doris Stevens. ex-
ecutive secretary Of the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage.
Would it be difficult to arouse a
strong sentiment in favor Of suffrage and
the Bristow-Mondell amendment in the
summer colony?" asked myself. but as
view the work from the midsummer
point it seems as if a full and over
flowing measure OF success has reward
ed our efforts.
On July arrived in Newport and
attended the conference Of prominent So
cial workers at Marble House, the beau
tiful summer home of Mrs o. H. p.
Belmont
To be present at this meeting was
a real inspiration. The setting was per-
feet. From the magnificent terrace where
the meeting was held one looked through
quiet eXpanse of ocean. The day was
quiet and gray. Each speker seemed
more fervent than her predecessor until
one could feel the audience being car
Tied higher and higher toward a newer
idealism OF woman's work and her over
growing responsibility TO maintain it.
Every speaker made the urgent neces-
sity Of the ballot the high spot in her
address, and through it all ran a note
of true democracy. This democracy was
illustrated by the coming together 10
confer of the duchess on the one hand.
and Rose SChneiderman, the working
girl, on the other. 1t was further en-
phasized by the applause and approval
given our woman judge, woman senator.
and woman police commissioner. which
Offices the conservatives of yesterday be-
Leved 10 be the sphere only of men.

union and outlined the work OF the sum-
mer campaign.
THE hostesses OF the occasion were
Mrs. Belmont Mrs. Marsden Perry, the
Duchess of Marlborough, Mrs. ]. J.
Brown. and Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott. Tea
was served from a handsome silver tea
service. which Mrs. Belmont presented
the headquarters. Every one enjoyed
the tea and during the friendly con-
versation tower the cups spoke in great
enthusiasm Of the Initiation OF the sum
mer campaign.
Meeting August IS.
"on August Is the first meeting Of the
advisory council OF the union will be
held in Newport. In the evening Mrs.
Belmont will entertain the council and
guests at a garden party. Here we hope
to raise large sums of money for the
prosecution OF our campaign in the fab
against those Congressman who are

PEACE ON Continent
Women of All Civilized World Ursed
to Arise in Protest Against

at INVOLVES ALL HUMANITY"

Of1cers Of the National American Won
an Suffrage Association yesterday issued
a stirring appeal in the name Of all SUI
fragists of the United States, to all aorn-
on OF the civilized world TO arise in pro-
test against the European war and to de-
mand peace.
The text Of the appeal which has been
sent to organized sufiragists OF twenty
six countries. is as follows:
The cloud Of a great international va
darkens all Europe and the shadow OF
the conflict hangs over all the nations OF
the world, insurinE disaster TO all people
and the turning back Of civilizati ton for a
century to come. During the past hundred
years women have given their toll not
only to motherhood and the cares Of fam
lily life. but also 10 the building up OF m.
great industries Of every country. Tnev
have devoted thought and energy and
have made great sacrifices TO GevsIn,
education and establish reforms for the
hettsrment Of humanity. Hundreds Of
thousands have sacrificed their lives 10
the life-giving vocation OF motherhood
yet. without one thought OF the suf-
ferinSs and sacrifices Of mothers who
have reared sons. or Of the tremendous
industrial burdens that war will impose
upon women. who will have to DO their
own work and the work Of the men

have to be taken from school or from

upon the women, Of the world TO arise
In protest against this unspeakable wrong
and TO show war-craZed men that he
tween the contending armies there stand
thousands Of women and children who
are the innocent victims of mems IN
oridled ambitions: that under the heels
OF each advancing army are crushed the
lives, the hopes, the happiness Of count
less women whose rights have been ig-
nored, whose homes have been blichted.
and whose honor will be sacrificed il this
unhoiy war does not cease and reason
and justice take the place Of hate. re-
venge and greed. This is not a national
issue; 1t involves all humanity"

Mrs. Helen II. Gardener, the noted au-
thor and lecturer as well as prominent
member Of the Congressional committee

in charge the Melting Pot campaign In
Washington, has not only contributed
largely herself but has influenced many
OF her friends TO look over their keep

given her most unqualified approval Of
Mrs. MedIll McCormlck's happy inspir-
alton in suggesting the idea Of self
sacrificing day and the melting pot.
Mrs. Stoner's donation includes many
articles of value. among which are
solid silver manicure buffer with beau
tiful repousse top, gold studs. and
faded old daguerreotype set in an old
fashioned chased-gold frame. The
gentle old ladys featureS are now but
dimly seen, and the treasured memento
of the past is turned over to the melt

utilized to aid the enfranchisement of
the long, long departed little old lady's
sisters of today. She would wish me
to do this Mrs. Stoner declared. as
she looked lovingly at the old daguer
