WEARING WHITE
FROM HEAD TO FEET.
Recruited from all over the country,
they are quite an unusual feature of the
convention. They wear white from head
to feet-their dress running from
sweaters and sport skirts to lace or en-
brOldered frOcks. At the opening of every
session they escort the president general
to the hall forming a pretty ceremony.
I'VE wish to urge that the apprOpr ia ton
for an Army of 200 men as passed by
the House, shall not be increased. We
are not satisfied with the bill as 1t
stands. but we are alarmed at the posi-
bility that the number set by the House
and already 30.000 men more than cur
pre-war Army. shall not be further in
creased" This was the Cist of the testi-
money of Mrs. Harriet Conner Brown Of
Washington d. C., and II seemed to be
the consensus of the testimony of the
other women who appeared before the
subcommittee of the Senate Appropriation
Committee. Senator Wadsworth of New
York, Spencer of Missouri, Lenrot OF
Wisconsin and Hdrris of Georgia sat on
the committee.
The women who urged the reduction
Of the Army to as near as Z pre-war basis
as possible were Miss Ethel Smith. Wash
ingtOn, secretary of he WOmen's Trade
Union League; Mrs. Glen Levin Swiggett.
speaking for the American Association Of
University Women; Miss Emma Void.

world disarmament These appeared for

Of Armament, which also had s. Edgar
Nicholson. associate secretary Of the
E,uncil. and benjamin {. Marsh. OF the
turner's National Council.
Following the hearing the women's In
Irrational League for Peace and Free
EOm Of which Miss Jane Adams is
president. also had a hearing before the
Senate committee.
WOMEN DELVE
INTO POLITICS.
Women delved into the maelstrom OF
international politics by sta ging lunch
con in favor Of the recognition of Soviet
Prussia with Senator France of Mary
nd and DR.. Paul Reinsch. former mini
ser TO China. TO urge this procedure.
The affair was said to be the opening
Of a campaign in Washington by the
TOmen's committee f0r the recognition
Of Soviet Russia. which is affiliated with
the women's International league.
That Mrs Woodrow Wilson has con-
sented to receive the Democratic Ma
tiOnal Committee at reception at the
New Willard Hotel on Saturday, April
90 was announced by Mrs. Emily Newell
Blair. resident national committeeman
at Democratic headquarters today. As 1t
happens this affair will conflict with a
White House reception given by Mrs.
Harding at that very hour to delegates 10
The Pan-American Conference and League
Of Women Voters convention. who will
come from Baltimore to spend two days
In Washington. What is going to hap
pen? As the League Of Women Voters
comprise women of all parties. some of
the Democratic women will want To go
20 both Mrs. Hardings and Mrs. Wilson's
parties.
No conflict was intended. because when
the Democratic women were trying to
persuade Mrs. Wilson, they were under
the impression that Mrs. Hardings re-
ceptiOn was the day before. In fact, It
had thus been announced.
