men of all nations will meet in Rome

and the women of the United States
represented in it, numbering 100000
lead those Of all other countries.
The Countess of Aberdeen, president
of the organization, is busy at the
Niveregal Lodge in Dublin, concluding
arrangements fol-. the gathering. which,
she believes, will be the largest in the
history Of the movement. The purpose
of the international meeting is the

signed to better humanity-men not
excepted. ...8

Italian Women Waking Up
In many ways this is to be one of
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-04-21

the most important of the meetings
of the council. The women of Italy
are said TO have been waking up
the past few years, and Sentiment is
ready to crystalize" This meeting is
expected to help to focus the thought
of the women of Italy, because the
international Council of Women stands
for the less radical forms of femin-
ism. representing 1.-The spirit Of every
woman who has begun to think outside
of herself of her home, and stands
for the alienation of the grossest So
cial abuses affecting woman and chill
dren."
After the adjournment of the session
OF the council the Italian women's
organizations have invited the dele
gates to remain and attend congress
of women. The councils meeting will
last one week; the congress will be
in session two weeks.
The International Council can iden-
tify itself with such movements as
have been unanimously accepted by
its members. The survival of the fit
test of propositions thus far considered
includes.
l. To further international peace and
arbitration.
2. To combat the white slave" traffic.
3. To win suffrage for women.
T. To promote legislation concerned
with the general welfare of women and
their legal position.
s. To promote the improvement of pub
lie health.
6. To protect emigrants and especially
safeguard women and children.
Aims of the Council
The preamble to the statement of the
aims and objects of the International
Council is:
we. women of all nations, sincerely
believing that the best good of human
ity will be advanced by greater unity of
thought, sympathy and purpose and that
an organized movement of women will
best insure the highest good of the fam
lily and of the state, do hereby band our
selves together in a confederation of
workers to further the application of the
Golden Rule to society, customs and
law
Lady Aberdeen has been president of
the International Council for three quin-
quennial terms. She had expected to re-
tire this year, but at the unanimous re-
quest of the presidents of the various
national councils she has allowed her
name to stand for denomination.

WORLDS MOST SACRED SPOT
Manager in Church of the Nativity at
Bethlehem Where CHRIST Is Said
to Have Been Born.

What may perhaps be described as
the most sacred spot on earth is the
grottO or manger in the Church of
the Nativity at Bethlehem This
small underground Chamber, reached
from the church above by a flight Of
steps, is said to be the site of the
actual manger where Christ was born,
and silver star, let into the floor
underneath the altar, is alleged to be
the exact spot Of the Nativity. Above
the star hang fifteen lamps, which
have continually Illuminated the lit.
tie chapel for several hundred years
The altar is adorned with most
elaborate embroideries. the work of
royal Processes. while from the cell
ing hang a number Of brass lamps
and a few paintings. There has. OF
course, been no little controversy. as
to whether this is The actual site Of
the original manEer. To begin with,
it is underground, and many people
wonder how it could have been used
by cattle and horses Here, however.
We have to remember that in the
East donkeys and mules often dwell
in underground stables, and the stair
case would present no difficulty to
the agile native cattle of Palestine.
No less an authority than Colonel
Gender has declared that the rude
grotto with its rocky manager may be
accepted even by the most skeptical
of modern explorers"

craWled up into one of the large
chairs. The next few minutes were
about the busiest the cripple had ever

seen such an array. How could he
possibly remember all to tell Tom?
Before the survey was half finished,
however, a tall man with a kindly
face stood before him and held out his
hand for the paper, Pete handed him
