The occasion was one of the significant

It was an other and a marked sign OF

consciousness of their common interests,

Here were represented the national
councils already constituted in twenty-six
great countries in Europe, America, Aus

Back of this international council are
II. OO0OO0 women.
Who can foresee the results of this
coming into conscious self-expresson OF
this host?
There are three chief enemies to wom-
en-, and so to the human race. Let us
hope that these militant and fearless
feminine minds may conquer them.
The three are war, alcohol and fgno-
rance.
Against war the women's party of
peace prepares it's mobilization. VIII not

Against the ravages of alcohol what

generation, plain misery! The men have
tangled up the issue. bunged matters
both in politics and morals, failed. What
will the women do?
We wait also for the women to speak
for the child. What a world program 1t
would be, what clarion call to all ma
tons of the globe. that henceforth we
shall be content with no less than that
every child born on earth shall receive
adequate care, schooling and training.

rance and incompetency be no more!

Wilson Himself
 Straightens Out
 TangIe In Senate

Washington. July 2o-strenuous eff forts by Democratic leaders to pre- vent further delay in the completion of the administrations antitrust pro- gram were in progress in the Senate today. President Wilson himself planned to take a hand in trying to straighten out the tangled sttuation over the antitrust legislation so that the Senate may get down to actual work and believes that the apparent differences are not at all serious. Despite repeated declarations that the interstate trade commission bill now before the Senate would not be given serious consideration until Sem ators knew what legislation would be proposed in the remainder of the program. efforts were being made to get a real start in the general debate on that measure.
 At the same time pressure was be- ing brought to bear upon the judi ciary and interstate comm cree com mittee to hurry up the work of per- fecting the Clayton antitrust and the railroad securities bill. Indications were that the Clayton bill would be completed tomorrow and the securf-, ties before the end of the week
