MRS GATT DENIES | et puicie ] PINK” INSINUATION Delegates to Conference. on Cure of War No Redder Than President, She Adds. If the women who are coming to ‘Washington next week to attend the conference on the “Cause and Cure of Wars"” can be classified as “pink,” p| President Coolidge comes within_the same classification, according to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. Mrs. Catt The silent Vermonter, holds, by no means considers sacro- sanct the ancient human habit of war and would break it by correcting the conditions that lie beneath it. None of the conference delegates ever has expressed a desire to do more, she says. The famous suffrage leader, who will be chairman of the coming con- ference, today issued a blistering at- tack on that “scared and ignorant” element of Washington socisty who have been insinuating that the gath ering will be a “camouflaged pacifist drive.” f This ‘‘curious, grouchy, ignorant, illiberal hostility,” she says, ‘‘simmers in the gossip at dinner tables and clubrooms, and furnishes an occa- sional outburst through the press.” Denies Any Are Pink. “There is nobody in this coming conference,” she continues, “that is any redder or pinker than Mr. Cool- idge.” Mrs. Catt expresses the highest ad- miration for the Army and Navy, re- grets the injury thai is being done them by their noisy friends and urges that the officers themselves take steps to “put a quietus upon their alleged Pocahontas Egg This celebrated coal as pre- gared and delivered by the Grif- th Coal Corporation, is an ideal fuel for domestic hot-water, vapor and steam heating plants.

Here came the early temperance groups; also the women's rights circles declaring that women might be denied education and free speeech for a time, but neverthe- less these were their God-given rights and would come one day. “Doubtless all of them have found a stolid indifference in Washington atmosphere, but never hostility. Many | of the causes they represented have passed into histpry. “What ‘has happened to the city of ‘Washington? Who' or what has wrought the change? When a group comes hither under precisely the same circumstances that have sur- rounded hundreds that have preceded them, why should the mafjestic ecity tremble and alarm be broadcast to the world? What is this ‘miserab! pitiful, humiliating, creeping, crawl- ing, sordid attitude’ that has crept over the Capital? . Attitude of Conference. “So nearly as I can judge, the gen- eral attitude of the conference is about. the same attitude which the | President of the United States has repeatedly expressed in his public ad: dresses. There is no one in the com- ing conference that is any redder or pinker than Mr. Coolidge, and to make this Insinuation before their arrival, to attempt to prejudice popular opin- ion before they have spoken, to an- nounce the fear that is alleged to be permeating our Capital and Nation is so childish and ridiculous that one doesn’t know whether to laugh at its comedy or weep at its tragedy. “There may be women in the United 'ARRIE CHAPMAN friends with their discrediting attacks on them by the indirect meth Mrs. Catt added: “For a hundred vears the Natlon's Capital has been a avorite center for free assemblage and free discussion.
