PEN women
!. i. S. ORGANIZATION
Mrs. William A. Du Puy
Chosen First National Presi-
k' dent by Convention.

The national organization OF the
League Of American Pen Women came
into being last night with the adop-
tion Of q revised constitution and
bylaws at the close of the first busi-
ness session of the convention in the
cabinet room of the New Willard.
Mrs William Atherton Du Puy was
presidency. She will step to the ma
tional chair from the presidency of
the local organization, which hitherto
has been the parent to auxiliarles

the same standing.

the Senator from New Hampshire. first

dent; Mrs. Homer Hoch. recording
secretary; Mrs. Hamlin Cogswell.
corresponding secretary; Mrs. William
H. Moses. treasurer; Mrs. Crete Hutch
inson, auditor; Mrs. Grace Geldert.
librarian, and Mrs. Aaron Newman,
historian.
What is regarded as one of the
most important innovations is the
change in the bylaws to allow the ex-
pelling of members by majority
vote of the members of the national
executive board. The move was taken
in connection with the National Pro-
fessional Opportunity Service, auxil-
iary of the organization. This will al

said.
Another change made in the by
laws wipes out the selection of forty
eight state vice presidents. The en-
tire organization will have two ma
tional vice presidents and eight vice
presidents at large, under the plan
adopted.

that Mrs. Theodore Tiller. Mrs Har-
flet Locher and Mrs. c. Austin Thomas

G. Mitchell. who has just returned
from Europe, where he has been in

the Shipping Board.
ship owners of the United Kingdom
hope to eliminate the United States
As serious competitor on the high
seas. he said. They are conducting
An active campaign within our own
borders. Their object Is to discourage
the American people from supporting
CONGRESS- in placing our mercantile
marine upon a nrm footing.
britishers. we'll versed In all mari.
time matters. have admitted to me
that this method Of breaking down
our peace-time morale already has
been employed with considerable sue

Mr.. Mitchell. formerly an on,ciai
Of the Raporel Steamship line, and
later. associated with II. II. Raymond,
president of the Clyde Steamship
line. went to Europe last October He
mas made an exhaustive survey OF
the shipping situation and the gem
eral business outlook
England. he says. is determined to
maintain her supremacy on the high
seas. and is not unmindful of the
natural advantages she has over the
United States in competing for con-
troll or the worlds markets. These
natural advantages include the ini-
rial cost OF ships operated by Brit
ish owners the difference in running
expenses and tho greater efficiency
displayed in the handling Of ships and
carEoes
Mr.. Mitchell said business men Of
the United Kingdom see little gain
in the signing OF the new CONNER
cial pact between their government
and soviet Russia, unless they return
to the old system Of barter. The
MOSCOW governments supply OF gold,
they consider. is not sufficient to JUS
with that country.

continued Mr.. Mitchell, has been 10 in
tent since the signing Of the armistics
that she has rather neglected to obeerva
me shipping activities nearer home over
the North sea. But recently with the
nEure of Hugo SHINES looming over the
horizon the British ship owners have sud
denly realized that Germany. with char
acteristic thoroughness. is losing no time
In carrying out her admittedly difficut
task OF reconstruction. Work is already
proceeding on many ships. and that fur
ther orders will be forthcoming Is evil
dent from the fact that the German
government is reimbursins the steam
ship companies for the loss Of their
steamers to the allied powers. thus pro-
viding capital for new construction. I
have reason to believe. however, that the
British would have been only too glad
to have entered into similar arrange
ments for the use Of the port facilities
Of tho two German companies and to
o.
routes of their former German COM
petitorx."
