AT BAR BANQUET

Sex to Front by Four Arms
Parley Selections.

faT9ey Se1ecliOllS.
In selecting four women to serve as
members OF the advisory council Of
the American delegation to the arms
conference President Harding was
praised as being the first to recognize
and acknowledge the great possibfl-
tiles of women in world affairs by
Miss Louise Owen, a London newspa-
per woman in an address at the fifth
annual banquet of the Women's Bar
Association of the District of Colum-
bia last night at the Burlington Hotel.
This acknowledgement Of the worth
of women is sufficient in itself to
stamp the president as a man of great
Owen said. Women throughout the
world" Miss Owen added, are gradu-
ally convincing the men that they are
competent and qualified to shoulder
any burden in solving the problems
of nations and If wars are to be
stopped for all time it can be accom-
plished only through the help of the
women. However, in the advance
ment of the sex no one can deny that
the women of the United States are
setting the pace for their sisters in
the other countries of the world.
EarsFe Watching U. s. Women.
All Europe watches the progress
OF you women in this country and
so far we have been eager, to follow
your steps. There must always be a
close relationship between our two
nations. We must stand together and
we must put aside any petty diff
rerences OF the past and avoid silly
mlsunderstandings of the future. if
we are to set the example for other
and smaller nations.
