WOMAN'S STAND AGAINST WAR
to Take Umeasoning Anger Out Of The Council,
of the World
BY DAVID STARR JORDAN

All war IL Naged against NO
men: for on them. directly or In

dens OF privation and sorrow
God counts a woman's tears"
says the wise man OF the Talmud.
And n God has counted all the
tears the women OF Europe have
shed In this year OF sorrows. he
must have a fearful score against
us men who have so long glori-
fed murder n done on a grand
scale with the sanction OF the
state. and the blessing OF the
church.
II was n brave woman OF Aus
tria. the Baroness Bertha Won

war: its brutality. its heroism and
its lies. as just women ought TO

said 10 me. was not the story OF

opposition OF soldiery. turned
against women and other non

Withal. theirs is the appeal TO

and who in war can never help

nation which has suffered intoler-
ably from a war in which Il was

and a few-under difficulty
from the states actually Al war.
Miss Addams was made president
and the congress adopted a plat
form. which 30 far as stated in the

by the Women OF America At a
preliminary meeting at Washing
ton The congress asks for a
Council OF Nations. instead OF the
Concert OF Powers. with its dan
gerous and fluctuating Balance
OF Power" IL asks for a gradual
organization OF civilized nations
on a basis OF order, with the sub
stitution OF Law for force. II de-
mands Limitation OF ornaments,
and an international police. II
calls for the democratic control OF

ing experience necessary TO the
life OF a nation. II calls for the
abatement OF the economic causes
or excuses for war, and, as an i'm
mediate measure. the calling OF a
general conference OF the neutral
nations.
A portion OF the press has tried
TO belittle this work. and very few
journals have given II adequate
publicity. The meeting in Hol-
land did not put an end to the
war. Its leaders did not expect
that IL would. Evils so deeply en-
trenched cannot be removed with
a word. Its resolutions included
nothing novel. nothing that thous-
ands OF good women and men had
not thought OF before. II was not
the intention 10 make a display of
originality. The sole ruler OF the
world is public opinion. The pub
lie opinion OF the women of
Europe and OF this America, this
meeting was intended 10 strength

TO set women to thinking The
unthinking exhaltation OF blind
patriotism has been woman's part
In every war. II she must sacri-
nee all that IL nearest and dearest
she should be able to answer.
WHY? To this question. there is
no adequate answer save for the
redemption OF Belgium, this war
has been for the most part blind
murder and senseless waste. and
the reasons that women have &C
cepted for their sacrifice are not
true reasons. The Women's Peace
Party incites women to think. and
when they think clearly, the war
system OF the world is doomed.
In the day when the events OF this
terrible year can be seen in their
true perspective. there will be
seen few incidents so full OF hone
for the future as the congress OF
representative women at the
Hague.

BRYAN AGING RAPIDLY
AS RESULT OF CONTEST
Artist Says Ten Weeks Have Caused
Greater Change Than the
Previous Ten Years.

WASHINGTON. d. C.. June 10
William J. Bryan has aged more in
the last ten weeks than in the ten
years preceding the beginning OF MS
struggle with President Wilson over
the German note"
Such was the statement made her
today by an artist who has studied
Bryan closely.
Ten weeks ago" he said. "Bryan's
race was the face OF a dreamer. OF an
ultruist who was willing to night for
his Ideals. who had fought. but who
had not been scotched in the fghting.
Today his face is the face OF a man
who has fought. who Is still fighting
The lines which formerly came with
smiles are now set hard. The mouth
always thin. is thinner than before.
The hair. instead OF being black. r.
now white. As one looks At Bryan he
gets the impression Of a tremendous
struggle still going on: he sees a man
aging before his eyes"

the world. Pan-Americanism is the
most advanced as well as the most
practical form of that idea. 1t has
been made possible because of our
geographical isolation, of our similar
political Institutions .and of our conf
mon conceptions of human rights.
Since the European war began other
factors have strengthened this
natural bond and given impulse to
the movement. Never before have
our people so fully realized the sig
nitieance of the words, peace and
fraternity Never have the need and
benefit of international cooperation
In every form of human activity been
so evident as they are today.
Path of Opportunity Plain.
"The path of opportunity lies plain
before us Americans. The govern
ment and people of every republic
should strive to inspire in others con-
fidence and cooperation bv exhibiting
integrity of purpose and equity in ae-
tlon. Let US as members of this con-
gress, therefore, meet together on the
plane of common interests and to-
gether seek the common good. What
ever is of common interest, what
ever makes for the common good,
whatever demands united effort is a
fit subject for applied Pan American
ism. Fraternal helpfulness is the
keystone to the arch. Its pillars are
faith and justice.
"In this great movement this con-
gress will, I believe, play an exalted
part. You. gentlemen, represent pow
erful intellectual forces in your re-
spective countries. Together you
represent the enlightened thought Of
the continent. The policy of Pam
Americanism is practical. The Pan
American spirit is ideal. 1t finds its
sources and being in the minds OF
thinking men. 1t is the offspring Of
the best. the noblest conception Of in
tenational obligation.
with all earnestness, therefore, I
commend you. gentlemen, the thought
of the American republics, twenty
one sovereign and Independent ma
tions, bound together by faith and
Justice, and firmly cemented by a
sympathy which knows no superior
and no inferior but which recognizes
only equality and fraternity"
