Over ut The Hague a meet
ing is in progress to promote peace
in the world. Some eight or ten
American women representatives OF
woman's league for peace are
taking part In the conference. Wash
ington takes only feeble interest in
this particular meeting because IL 10
generally understood that the women
participants therein have declared
thar their influence VII, be used In any
future war To prevent women from
taking any part therein. even as hui
name helpers-and This no matter how
just the cause may be for which their
country tights.
This little matter Is brought in here
only because 1t shows to what an ex-
IRENE some of the pleaders for peace
ON earth are willing TO go. There
are women in this towT who say that
If the teachings of some of their sex
We're TO be followed. NO woman could
be found in the world to bind up the
wounds of soldier who was lighting
in her defense. Most of the women
do not like this sort of thing any more
than the men DO.
This leads up to the Washington
viewpoint of peace generally. There
are all kinds of organizations in the
United States whose object in life Is
To prevent the countries Of the world
from warning on one another In the
future. Some of these organizations
have been In existence for years, and
1t was discovered curing the great
war that active in some OF them were
persons whose desire 1t was to con-
vert all America TO the peace doc
trine. not for the sake of America but
for the sake of some country which
one day might make war on America.
Some of the American pence makers
found that they had sprlnkling OF
queer conradeship in their olive
branch work.

states. already has discussed the
proposition with Ismet Pasha, and
covered the question Of the rights OF
