THE HAGUE, April 30-The wings or the dove of peace were ruffled at the session of the International Con 8ress of Women today. At the ins- lance of Dr. Augspurg, of Munich, the entire Belgian delegation was in vited to the platform. only two women of the five present came from the box at the side of the stage and made their way to the platform. They Were welcomed by the chair man. Miss Jane Addams, with both hands, but there was no handshak- ing with the German delegations.

 In moving the final resolution. Mrs. Rosika Schwimmer. president of the Hungarian Women's Suffrage as sociation, requested all delegates present to stand a minute in silent prayer for peace. Mile.

 Some time before. the congress had been considerably upset by Mrs. Amy Lillingston, of London who declared
 q was suffragist and l remain a suffragist I have suffered in jaii for it. I am just a plain English working woman, but I represent mil lions Of wumen who favor the pres ent just war as much as do the men. One hundred and eighty women are said to be waiting at Tilbury to come to this congress to talk peace. For every one of those one thousand English, women are willg to accom- pany their sons and husbands to fight.
