Tell Of Her Experience.

Because of stirring Peace Talk
iven before the Woman 8 Fornightly
hub and their guests at a meeting in
Milwaukee, by Miss Grace Wales, rep
sentative to the Woman s Peace con-
ress at the Hague from the University
f Wisconsin, Milwaukee club women
ave sent telegram to President Will
on urging him to further the peace
lovement.
Mrs. ID. O. Kinsman, president of the
Wisconsin Federation of Woman 3 club,
those home is in Whitewater, Wis, was
resent at the meeting and joined in
ending the telegram.
In the talk which Miss Wales gave
he emphasized the fact that the paci-
SITS are not planning project to put
end to war at any price, but rather
release the forces of International
SIN and universal righteousness and to
ndeavor to bring about settlement
)ased upon principles of universal JUS
ice
Wants World Council.
''The international plan for contin-
lous mediation without armistice sug-
rests that an international commits
zion of experts be formed" said the
speaker, 81 to sit as long as the war con
tnues The members of the commits
sion should have scientific but no dip
Iomatic function; they should be with
out power to commit their govern
ments. The commission should explore
the issues involved in the present strug
Gle, and in the light of this study begin
making proposition to the belligerents
in the spirit of constructive interna-
tionalism. IF the first effort fail, they
should consult and deliberate, revise
their original propositions, or offer new
ones, coming back again and again if
necessary, in the unalterable conviction
that some proposal will ultimately be
found that will afford practical basis
for actual peace negotiations. The COM
mission should be established without
delay, on neutral initiative.
War Must End
f'This great worldwide confagra-
ion must sometime be quenched; the
war must end, sometime, in some way
We desire to organize now the latent
forces of good will and higher justice,
and bring them to bear without delay
upon the question of final settlement
cit was in response to the demand
from such forces that The Hague con-
gress was organized. There was a
spontaneous desire on the part of the
thinking women of the world to get
together and see if international good
will could not so express itself that
the situation of the world would be
aroused. Fifty American women re-
sponded.
Formulating Peace Methods.
Every morning we did three hours
hard work on problems connected with
the movement. One felt a growing
conviction that if the experience and
knowledge, the scientific Judgment and
inventiveness of the world could be
concentrated in an international think
inc organ, way might be found, even
now, to establish just and permanent
peace. During the first day or two
we were timorous, but as we proceeded
we gained confidence.
Many important resolutions were
adopted, but that for continuous med
itation received immediate action. The
adoption of this plan involved the pre-
sentation of it to the various capitals
of Europe. Two committees were
formed. One visited London, Berlin,
Vienna, Rome and Paris; the other the
Scandinavian countries and Russia. I
went as secretary of the latter delega-
ton.
Swiss and Dutch in Accord
s'We received everywhere a courteous
and interested hearing. Our visits to
the war capitals convinced us that the
belligerent governments would not be
opposed to a conference of neutral na-
ions. The neutral peoples of Europe
re organizing. In Sweden, June 81,
early 600 mass meetings, attended by
YER 100000 people, urged the govern
emit to cooperate in neutral confer
zee. The same sentiment prevails in
olland, and in Switzerland twenty
le organizations are now circulating a
,tition asking their government to act
