in the stand it has taken. All party preferences, all petty politics, all per sonal piques, all petulant and puerile complaints against the government, we have put aside; and we have kept ever before us the fact that we can only win the war by the united efforts of all our people.
 "We at once placed all the forces of this great patriotic body of loyal women at the service of the govern ment. Whatever of proper and justi- liable differences may exist among us as thinking women, we are tremen- dously in earnest in our united pur- pose to love our country and defend it any sacrifice of life or treasure.
 Our task has been to discover into what channel should flow the great currents of energy which belongs to our patriotic society. Here are thou sands of the best and brightest of American women. How shall they best promote all the fine and noble enterprises which the occasion creates and inspires?
 "The reports which will come before us will show that our Daughters have not been found wanting in this cru cial hour. Like Kipling's ship, this
 great patriotic society has found itself'-by cooperating with all ouher societies having common interests, and by methods peculiarly our own

 and genius, we have been adding our

people of the whole world. Life now is solemn and majestic. Just to be living and having some worthy place in this world-upheaval is glorious.
 Some complain of the high cost of living these days, but it is worth it! Every day is crowded with such mo- mentous events as would have made any past century epochal. No one can imagine what a day may bring forth. Nothing seems to be absolutely certain, except this-Right shall surely triumph. Peace shall come only to men of good will, and Kaiserism must go down before the righteous and out ragged democracy of the world.
 Whatever may be the changing, shifting scenes of today. we are sure that on some future morrow the great cause for which we are fighting shall permanently triumph.
 "The present administration of our society has been facing difficult prob lems during its first year of respon- sibility. We have been busy adjust ing our work to the business policy to which we dedicated ourselves.
 We have successfully sought to inn prove the ways and means by which the work of our society should be conducted. We have introduced some needed reforms and we think the re- suits will justify the changes that have been wrought, as we have sought only the best good of the society, and we have also sought to follow such methods of procedure as had been projected by previous ad- ministrations and proved of value.
 "We have also been finding our part in the great program of the war. We are in hearty accord with our nation
