 The afternoons program featured Peace in words and music. Miss Alice Birdsall, the well known attorney read a brilliant paper on Women yer sus War. She said in part:
 ''Ruskins said long ago that women could prevent wars if only they were determined to do so. It looks now as though the determination, by concerted action, to right some of the age-old wrongs was dawning in the souls of women all over the world. The organi- zation of the women in a movement like the peace party shows woman's awakening to the knowledge of the strength and value of united Action. Woman's business is life. On her is placed to a great extent. the responsi- hility of this business of life. and she deals, not with theories. but conditions. The cry of the ages has been for wo- men to produce.-but her right to lift d hand or voice to conserve that pro ductiOn has been denied When she has argued that the saving of a life all ready in existence was quite as import = ant as the production of a new life, men 1 nave scOffed. When she has asked that the prodigal waste Of life through in- dustrial wrongs, through disease and through wars, may be stopped. her pleas have fallen on deaf ears. So to her has come the knowledge that only by ban.ling herself with the sisterhood Of women all over the world for the solving of these problems of life can she hope to gain the strength to sweep aside the cobwebs of prejudice and break away the letters of ignorance and false standards with which blinded
 men have so long impeded and hinder ed her work for the betterment of the race"
