IRISH WOMEN ARE ORGANIZED TORES|ST CONSCR|PT|ON ACT They Take an IrOn-BOund Pledge to Help Their Men Fight Against Army
 Service

Dublin. June 1o.-(Correspondence of
 the Associated Press s)-Irish women were organized for participation in the anti
 conscription campaign in Ireland as never
 before in the history of political agita- tion in Ireland.
 Much is now heard of the "Woman.s S Pledge" which was the leading feature Of the woman's side of the anti-con- scription campaign. The pledge reads as follows:
 Because the enforcement of conscrip- ton on any people without their con- sent IS tyranny, we are resolved to re- slst the conscription of Irshmen. We will not fill the places of men deprived or their work through refusing enforced military service. We will do all in our power to help the families of men who suner through enforced military serv- ice"
 The occasion chosen for the universal signing of this pledge by the women of Ireland was the festival of St. Colum- belle, national saint much talked about at the present time on account of some war prophecies attributed to him. in cluding one in which he is said to have predicted conscription.
 The woman's pledge was part of scheme with which conscription was re- sisted. Wherever possible, the signing was accompanied by floral demonstra- tions and organizations taking part car ried wreaths, crosses and other symbols to decorate the place of signing. The ceremony also was accompanied by pill grimages and processions to some place of veneration, such as church, holy well site, or altar in penal days, or some local memorial of national history.

Vologda, Russia, Regains Some of Its Importance
 in Rule of BOlsheviki

Vologda. Russia, May 1-(Corespond- ence of the Associated Press-The Ger man drive into Russia and the peace treaty signed by the bolsheviki have bought back to Vologda some of the of Peter the Great
 When the American ambassador, David R. Francis, selected voloeda for the site of his embassy duing the period when Petrograd was threat ened by German occupation, the lit tie city took on new life
 Prices of foodstuffs scared and, as the city. rooms were at such a prem ium that some members of the embassy staff were forced to use for several weeks their train berths as sleeping quarters
 The only quarters which could be found by Consul Treadwell for the American consulate were rooms in a huge barn-like hotel known as the prisoners and Russian soldiers.
 The consulate's room was just across the hall from the German prisoners quarters, but some of these prisoners apparently did not know America was in the war. Some of them came into the consulate the first day it opened and asked if the Americans were still handling the matter of prisoners re- lief.
 The embassy was made welcome and huge wooden stucture formerly used as merchants club. was turned over for it's use.
 Vologda, in the days of Peter the Great, was one of the most important cities in Russia It is the head of nav igation of the Vologda river. which empties into the Arctic at Archangel, and for centuries the ships of the Eu- ropean traders sent their cargoes into Russia by this route.
 Peter the Great lived in Vologda for several years and built there the nucleus of the first Russian navy. Aft CT the building of Petrograd, voloeda lost most of it's importance. though river steamers still ply between here and Archangel.
 Vologda is the junction of the V1ad- tokPetrograd and the Archangel- Moscow railway lines and was selected os the embassy site because of It's transportation conveniences.
