The old adage assures us that "a

We are all quite willing to believe it.
But some times beauty isn't exactly

with it quite a number of lisadvan-

trip through war-swept Europe in an
effort for early peace will be rendered
tonight to Miss Jane Adams of Chi
cago. The meeting will be held in
Carnegie Hall, and has been planned
by the Women's Peace Party and 9TH
er peace organizations.
Miss Adams went abroad early in
the spring as the leader of the Ameri-
can contingent to the International
Congress of Women for Peace. The
Congress met at The Hague, and Miss
Adams presided. Resolutions look
ing to early peace in Europe were
adopted by the women, and Miss Ad-
dams undertook the arduous task of
personally heading the committee
which called at the principal capitals
of the belligerents. She talked with
the heads of many governments, to
whom she was known through her
worldwide reputation.
Miss Adams has already declared
her opinion that peace can be brought
about through neutrals if the right
methods are adopted, for it is her be-
lief that the people of Europe are war
sick and long for peace.

Other objections made to the bill
