just received an order from Boston

that China is very civilized when
we think of conditions there. And
yet they tell us that China is resting

divisions OF the woman's committee
among those whose usefulness has
ceased?
We are we'll aware that an armis-
tice is not a declaration of peace,
and that there are and will continue
to be until after the peace treaty is
signed many obligations resting up
on our country that are directly con-
nected with the war and from which
we have no desire to escape.
We have also the added duty of
keeping before our people the debt
we owe to those glorious and de-
voted nations whose valor and sac
rifce saved US from the unhappy
fate which was theirs. The honor
of our country demands that we
shall continue to render every pos
sible service to tighten their burden
of rehabilitation. They must be fed
and given such additional material
aid as their need requires md we
are able to provide,
In the process of reorganization
many of the departments splendid
ly developed and carried forward
by the state divisions, are as neces-
sary in times of peace as in war,
and it would be a national calamity
if this organized power should be
lost. This brings us to the ques-
ton of how such power can best
be modified for immediate service
in national reconstruction.
The uncertainty which surrounds
the future of speciality created conf
mittees for war service makes it
impossible at this time for the wo-
mans committee Of the Council Of
National Defense to say what the
decision of the government may
be in regard to definite plans;
hence our inability to give to the

state division a definite program.
Even the president, in his address
before congress, stated that he had
no clearly defined program nor had
anyone as yet presented an ade-
quate one. The womans committee
is much less able to do so until the
Council of National Defense has
stated its purpose.
1t was therefore resolved at an
executive session of the womap's
committee to submit to the chair
men of state divisions and to the
honorary committee of the wo-
mans committee QUESTIONABLE
asking for an expression of opinion
as to the advisability of calling a
conference of the state chairmen
and of the members of the honorary
committee in Washington the latter
part of January or early in Feb
ruary for a general consultation re-
garding future work, at which time
all may frankly express their opin-
ions with reference to the wisest
methods by which their work may
be continued for the best interests
of society.
If majority of the state chair
men and members of the honorary
committee approve of holding con-
ference, the woman's committee of
the Council of National Defense
will proceed to call it at the earliest
possible date.
Your prompt reply is Of the great
est Importance. Faithfully yours,

The signing of the armistice
seems to have had an affect upon
the country similar to a declaration
of peace, and Immediately there
were evidences upon every hand of
an eagerness to discontinue those
agencies and committees which had
been created for war service. This
may readily be done with some war
agencies but not with others and
