The thirty-hve have formed an or

Such tempest in a skyscraper' The
twelve floors of the building at 10 Fifth
Avenue, where the peace societies have
their Offices. sizzled with excitement
yesterday, when the news came in that
Mrs Norman de R. Whitehouse and
Miss Mary Garrett Hay had offered the
services of the Woman Suffrage Party
for military duty. The trouble Is that
the peace women are also members OF
the woman suffrage organization, ana
they have no intention OF dong mill
.ary service, or, at least, they don't
wish 20 have their services promised
while they are still in hopes of ayerting
the war.
On the tenth floor of the peace build
ing is the clearing house where the
various societies have pooled their COM
mon publicity interests. Mrs. Margaret
Lane, secretary of the New York City
branch Of the Woman's Peace Party

Less picturesque in her indictment
was Mrs. Henry Willard, president Of

Suffrage League and honorary chair

Down on the eighth floor there was
an indignation meeting of the real mil
itants of the Greenwich Village So

wey, chairman of the new Emergency
Peace Federation, presided. They voted
unanimously 10 resign from the suf-
