HE WOMEN oF PEACE

THE WOMEN OF PEACE
 When the Holand-America steamer Noordam steam ed down New York harbor on the thirteenth of April carried forty women delegates to the International Peace Congress called by the women of Holland
 What a conference of women will be able to accom- plish in it's effort to stop a world war started planned and carried on by men probematic. Yet cannot but believe as Angela Morgan poet, and of the delegates say about it This meeting is the most talortan event in the history Of womankind"
 cad Miss Morgan to an interviewer for ne Nsu York Tribune:
 For centuries women have sat dumbly by while their men were killed in warfare but now have reached that point in our evolution where we otherwise than fight war. For fail this oppor unity her refuse rise to the demands made on her in this supreme world crisis would bittcly disappointing to civilization, It would be crushing progress as is the hideous scourge of itself We cannot be true the race unless forward nov in the mighest protest the world has heard against barbarsm that brute instead of brains settle disputes between nations"
 With poets faith says the Tribune Miss Morgan believes in divine laws that operate for when he is ready to work with them.
 
 overwhelmed by the facts Of immediate stuati n We argue negatively when we should argue with assr- ance It is for us to take concerted action bringing full power of our minds united in a world purpose 70 bear upon the problem facing us. Only when we ha e thus risen the great idea come forth IL tho law Of the universe. It is the process of God"
 One can but hope Miss Morgan is right and Cha, bringing the full power of women's minds united in a world purpose bear upon the problem will stir up te irresistible forces of the universe to secure fuue eternal peace At any rate it's worth every woman's while and every man's-to "hod the good thougl ' for the success of the conference.
 Addams led the delegation from this countr2. New York and Chicago are we'll represented among s members together with other large cities and there we from several western states Miss Addams Cz pressed vivid faith in immediate results from the ference, firm the hope that "vye may start feeling for peace which shall in time rule the world"
 And that, in fact is the greatest thing which tlis International Peace Congress of Women may do
 No likes approves of war. In her heart every woman hates its waste and its destruction Blt poweress politically what can any woman do United strong with the strength of every other woman cooperation, woman may indeed start feeling f)v peace which shall in time rule the world"
 The women of the world are just beginning to be conscious that they peopethst they are half .he ~ord-that they are entitled their say as human be ings in the affairs which affect them either as wom n or as human beings mothers Of men
 To use this consciousness in the direction of word peace and lasting peace is the biggest things they ,ar do
 Forty American women have gone to Holland to ac their best Let every wish them we'll help then in her thoughts and prayers They represent all women in great work towards the beterment of humanity
