;Womens Peace Union Denounces Methods
~ of War, According to Mrs. Helen Anthony
Union Is Non-Sectarian and
Non-P Political, Representa-
tive Asserts

Violence and bloodshed of war are
always wrong in principle and dis
astrous in practice is the fundamen-
tai conviction of the Women's Peace
Union, according to Mrs. Helen B.
Anthony of Niagara Falls, N. Y,
who is spending three days in Bis
marck as field representative Of the
national organization.
The Women's Peace Union is
working for the abolition Of the war
method of settling disputes. Mrs.
Anthony is spending the month of
October in North Dakota speaking
to groups of men and women, and
interviewing interested individuals
in q campaign of education as to the
aims and purposes of the union.
In an interview today, Mrs. An
thony emphatically declared that
the organization is not aligned with
any political party, but has in its
membership persons of all political
affiliations who believe that the
time has come to substitute moral
force, the method of the strong, for
physical force, the method of the
weak and fearful.
1.-THE organization is nonsectar-
ian," Mrs. Anthony said, appealing
to peoples of all religions who wish
to conserve the gains of civilization,
and want their beloved America to
maintain the spiritual leadership Of
the world.
1T appeals particularly to chris
tians, because the implication of the
life and teachings of Jesus is that
of non-resistance."
Mrs. Anthony explained that the
Women's Peace Union is joined by
individuals who wish to take the
following pledge:
81 affirm it is my intention never
to aid in or sanction war, offensive
or defensive, international or civil,
in any way whether by making or
handling munitions, subscribing to
war loans, using my labor for the
purpose Of setting others free for
war service, helping by money or
work any relief organization which
supports or condones war;"
No dues are paid to the organiza-
ton nor are there any paid execu-
tivcs. All expenses are met by vol
untary contributions and all work is
done by volunteers.
An amendment to the constitution
dealing with the abolition Of war, as
presented by Lynn J. Frazier Of
North Dakota to congress as Senate
Resolution No. 1, has the support
of the Women's Peace Union, Mrs.
Anthony asserted.
1t is in an effort to interest the
people of North Dakota in this legis-
lative program that the Women's
Peace Union has sent q member of
the congressional committee here at
this time.
This is Mrs. Anthcny's first visit

\ IL groups in the eastern part of the

freshing contrast to the situation in
