 At the factory it is stated that a revolver which had ben kept in a desk drawer was missing Miss Cook. on several occasions, according tosfellow employees, placed the revolver at her throat but they took this to be only a playful act.

 As women, we are especially the custodians of the life of the ages We will not longer consent to its reckless destruction

 .-As women, we have bui1ded by the : patient ciI-udgery of the past the basic foundation of the home and Of peace= ful industry We will not longer en- dure without 2 protest that must be heard and needed by men. that hoary evil which in an hour destroys the SO efal structure that centuries of toll have reared
 As women. we are called upon to start each generation onward toward better humanity. We will not longer tolerate without determined opposition that denial of the sovereignty of rea- 1 son and justice by which war and all that makes for war today render inn potent the idealism of the race.
 Therefore. as human beings and the mother half of hi1manity we de- mand-tfat our right to be consulted in the settlement of questions concerning mot olone the life of individuals but of nations be recognized and respected
 The platform which they have adopt ed followsi
 to enlist all American women in arous- ling the nations to respect the sacred ness of man life and to abolish war. The following is adopted as our plat form:
 The inmediate calling of a conven- Etion of neutral nations in the interest Eof early peace.
 stLinaitation of arn1annents and the Standardization of their manufacture.
 "Organized opposition to militarism In our own country
 "Educaton of youth in the ideals oi peace.
