SEE PROSPECT OF PEACE
Convinced After Visits to the War Capitals That
Belligerent Nations Would Accept Good Offices of
Acknowledgement Started Abroad.

w have been convinced that ths
Governments Of the belligerent nations
would moi be hostile To the institution OF
such a common channel for good offices
la peace conference of neutral nationsl
and that the Governments Of the Euro
pean neutrals We visited stand ready 10
cooperate with others In mediation. Re-
viewing the situation. we believe that OF
the five European neutrals three are
ready to Join in such a conference and
that two are celebrating the calling OF
such a conference, or the intention OF
the United States we nave as yet no evil
dence."
This Is the crux Of a statement made
public yesterday here and in Amsterdam
by the International Committee of
Women for Permanent Peace, which was
appointed at the International Congress
OF Women at The Hague in April last.
The statement is based upon the reports
OF W o groups Of ENJOYS. one OF which
visited the b%elligerent countries Hol-
land and switzerland and the other Rus
STA and the Scandinavian countries.
Miss Jane Adams IL chairman OF the
committee n those who signed the
statement with her are Or. Aletta Jacobs
OF Holland. Miss Chrystal Macmillan OF
Great Britain. the secretary: Nine,
Rosika Schwimmer OF Austria Hungary
and Prof. Emily Greene Balch Of
Wellesley College, DIR. Jacobs and Nine.
Schwimmer are v~ice-chairmen OF the
committee.

Not only was IL possible for the women
who came from belligerent and neutral
nations alike to meet in the midst Of
war and carry forward an exchange OF
question and answer between capitals
that were barred to one another. but as
an unofficial delegation they had AN
audience with the Pope n the Cardinal
Secretary of State on the subject.

RECRUITING

Lord Derby Scheme
Giving Civil Bodies Full
Control.
TO AVERT CONSUMPTION

LONDON. Oct. IS (Saturday).-Lord
Derby's new recruiting scheme was an
nounced tonight. It's main points arc
that tho recruiting Is to be conducted
entirely by civilian organizations, the
work being taken out of the hands Of
the military authorities. 1t Is hoped
thus to obtain a SUFFICIENT number OF
voluntary enlistmcnts to make recourse
TO CONSUMPTION unnecessary.
Lord Derby described the new system
at a private conference with the Par
liamentary Recruiting Committee and
Joint Labor Recruiting Board this after
noon.
THE changes that I propose maxi
ing he said. have not been neces-
STATED by any shortcomings on the part
Of the recruiting stan. but by the ext
gendes Of the present situation. which.
to my mind, require entirely new meth
DDS OF dealing, with the subject.
I'm the past recruits have been found
by the military authorities. assisted BY
civilians. I propose to make civilians re-
sponsiNle for bringing raw material in
the shape Of recruits to the military
authorities for them TO enlist. clothe,
equip and train.
This can be- rendered possible only
&c some thoroughly representative
civilian body be willing to max itself
responsible for the work. and NY most
grateful thanks are due to the two bod
ies-the Parliamentary recruiting COM
mittee and the joint labor recruiting
committee-which ave made themselves
Jointly responsible"
To Use "Utmost Fact"
Tho much discussed pink FORM will
be used In canvassing. but in conformity
with instructions prepared which. Lord
Derby declared, would result In the can
vassing being Conducted with the ut
tact and discretion"
All the existing recruiting committees
will be utilized n the municipal and
civil authorities will he asked to CO.
operate.
Every eligible man will receive a let

the situation which makes an increase
in the army necessary. in order. az ex-

a direct appeal and be unable to
say in the future hat he was not called
upon to join"
The Daily Mad says e~ditorially:
The tension In the Cabinet on the
questions Of consumption and the Balkan
situation continues. The recruiting iE-
ures from the various centres in the last
few days have been OF such a nature
there has been so much shilly shall
lying on the part OF certain members Of
the Government with regard to Lord
Derby's scheme that the more virile
of the coalition Cabinet are ex-
to a k definite steps within the
next few days.
