which broadcasted worldwide the
principle Of self-determination of all

special attention to work among wom-

the foreign section Of the Editorial

for the international Women's Con-

in Vienna in 1914 simultaneously with
the general international Congress,
but which did not come off after all.
When Ines came to Russia in 1917,
she began immediately energetic agi-

at meetings, she also wrote for the
working women. Her excellent pam
