Jewish women's meeting.
"Dsspite differences in languages
and opinions, the Jewish women who
assembled in conference here have ac-

graphic Agency. "The Jewish women
of America in calling this conference
have made history. World coopera-

been elected to serve for one year, and
the object Of which is to lay the foun-
dation for world union"
