* PLEADS FOR UNION INPEACE EFFORTS Miss Knight-Bruce Tells Council Evolution Points to Need of Progress. { The quinquennial session of the In | ternational Council of Women here bas been rent by bickerings, insin- uations and trouble of all sorts. | In the midst it all comes this| speech by Miss Knight-Bruce, one of | the Engli: delegates, delivered at the open session last night “May 1 say quite simply what the great wo n's movement of means to me?

The! drama_of * n history has reached a o rd which life has been struggling for aeons of time. The picture has been painted for us by the pens such men as Darwin, Huxley, ssell, Lemain—the pie- ture of evolution—first a gaseous mass with no life, which changes, al- ters, moves, preparing for that life'| which begins in such-humble, mean- ingle: forms—not glimmer ‘of in- telligence, with no color or beauty. The speck of life grows—at frst gath- ering st quantities of cells, moving to size as its goal—uncouth, unwieldy —then refining, becoming more com- plicated—man of the lowest form emerges can be called. eached when | of by his two front feet for hands—he stands upright and by gaining hands gain mind and enters the gigantic cosmic struggle of lifegiving mind against the forces of death in matter. “‘Psychology has forced biology and physiology out of their old position where mind was considered a neg- ligible thing—now it is shown to be the seat of life and power. It is| realized as a force ceaselessly working on matter to rds 1i nd away from death.'—Huxley “The cry is for an ever greater control of mind over matter—it is a| struggle between the vitality of mind against the d h inherent in the world. his is to me the meaning of the world—-it is life and ever more abun- dant life in its highest, noblest forms. a tremendous, lifting, strivin 1g process throughout—each power agonizing to give the real meaning to the lower.

Mrs. George Jiorgan announced for the British delegation that they were opposed to the bloc system of government, and could not support the resoution as it stood. Dr. Valeria IX 1 expressed the same stand for the United tates delegation. Lady Aberdeen unnounced morning that the Canadian ment had donated to the International Council 200 copies of the statutes deal- ing with tae legal status of women in that country. Fru Annw Backer who was tied with this Mrs. Philip North Moore of the United | States tor fourth vice president in the elections Monday, announced that she wished the position to go to the American woman, and would content | herself with the fifth vice presidency. “The issues of peac rbitration and armament wiil be discussed again at a public meeting of the council to- night.

Anti-Pacifist Plea. The troubles from which the con- vention has suffered seemed at an end today. The only disturbing note was a fresh statement from the Club Women’s Protective League of New York, in which American patriotic or- anizations which are members of the urged not to withdray, but to work from within to overcome the alleged pacifist activi- ties of the organization. ‘The folowing resolution from the education committe, of which Prof. Marion P. Whitney of Vassar College is convener, was announced this morning as passed by the council: “That all national councils be urged to demand in their own countries the cientific study and investigation of conditions and practice in the whole field of domestic science and home- muking in all branches which concern the housewife and mother, and that the results be made available for every home. And be it further “Resolved, That research and teach- in these fields be added to the already existing departments of uni- versities.”" Biology in School: “Recognizing the innumerable -ap- plications of science in evervday life, and the importance of approaching the vital questions of sex and moral- ity from the side of na 1 law, the ational councils are to urge, in their the teaching of biological elementary respective countries, nature study and simple facts the, public schools.” “The I. C. W. favors the encourage- ment of the widest possible inter- change of students and teachers b tween countries, and it believes that a first-hand knowledge of the life and outlook of other nations is of vitalim- portance in the interests of the peace of the world.” Delegates from the British domin- ions explained this morning that their expe to the quinquennial had not been paid by Americans, but that this practice had been confined to women from the poorer countries of Europe. Mind Versus Might. The second open meeting of the council was held last night on the subject, ‘“Recent Developments in Citizenship,” with Mrs. Oglilvie Gor- don of England presiding. The topic was discussed by Mrs. D. Sherman, president of the eneral Federation of \Women's Clubs; Dr. Ingegerad FPalme of Sweden, Mrs. Dorothy Tonkin of outh Africa, Prof. Carrie Derrick of Mme. Plaminkova of Czecho. and Miss Knight Bruce of Sherman said the time had come when the measure of a people was not its material and military strength, but the mental and spiritual level. dent Coolidge’s outdoor . recreation conference, and said that education to use leisure as well as enjoyment held a major place on the program. The greatest question in the world tod: she said, “is the problem of training a citizenry that will know how to enjoy the scientific miracles of the age for the best possible devel- opment of the individual and of man- kind at large. Full equality between husband and wife has been established in Sweden, Dr. Palme said. The responsibility of supporting the family devolves by law upon each partner.

The costume was graciously loaned to the Continental Dames Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution by Mme, § phie Roussova, president of the Na- tional Council of Ukrainian Women, to aid the chapter in selling candy and nuts, to carry on their splendid pa- triotic work. Few native costumes of the forelgn delegates have been seen at the convention, a fact which seems odd with so many countries repre- sented. Ceechoslovakia has an exhibit in the basement of the Auditorium, where there are several costumes of that country on view. The Playgrounds and Recreation Association of America has a remark- able display of the work done by the soclety, and there is a very complete exhibit of articles made by children in | their spare moments in the municipal playgrounds of this city.
