Merry Row Over GUM
quenDiaI Session

Hands across the sea are
clenched, and feminine fists are
being shaken at each other, as
the result of the refusal by the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton to allow the International
Quinquennial meeting to be held
in Memorial Continental Hall, next
May, according to facts which
seeped out today.
The International Quinquennial
group is an organization of prom
inent women in the United States
and other lands, many of whom
are prominently identified with
pacifist movements.
Sent Out Program.
The root of the trouble seems to
lie in the fact that the American
heads of the organization, despite
the conclusion of foreign delegates
not to meet in this country, sent
elaborate printed programs Of the
event to Lady Aberdeen.
These advance programs bore a
picture Of Memorial Continental
Hall on their covers and contained
the announcement that the Presi.
dent and other high Government
officials would address the meeting.
The d. A. X. had no knowledge
that the programs were sent out, and
certainly did not know that the
group intended to use the Memorial
Hall for a meeting place. Mrs. Philip
North Moore, representing the inter.
national society's American mem

the idea.

visitors that he appreciated their
point of view and would give 1t due
consideration.
In connection with the plans Of the
Chamber, for the holding of a public
reception on March 4, it developed
today that there was certain opposi-
ton to this plan inasmuch as the
Charity Ball, held four years ago,
proved to be great success, and
that it is hoped to repeat Its sue
cess this year.
Would Abandon Ball.
On the other hand, Isaac Cans,
of the Chamber of Commerce, has
received a letter from Mrs. John
Allen Daugherty, one of the pro-
moters of the Charity Ball plan,
expressing her willingness to aban.
