Yesterday evening’s program, wel- come night, included a colorful parade of flags of the various countries rep- resented at the sixteenth triennial conference, and speeches of greetings from leaders in various fields. The program this morning was to consist principally of the reports of | the superintendents of child welfare, Little White Ribboners, child organiza- tion of the W. C. T. U., the evangelis- tic department and the department dealing with co-operation with mis- sionary societies. A round-table dis- cussion on membership was to be led by Mrs. Anna Marden DeYo, cor- responding secretary of the world group. A message to the convention from night by Francis B. Sayre, Assistant Secretary of State. It follows: “I am glad to know that peace continues to be one of the vital con- cerns of the Worlds Woman's Christian Temperance Union. It is, policies, aspirations and ambitions which the world today witnesses, the United States remains steadfast in its determination to pursue the ways of peace. We shall continue to strive under Divine Providence with heart and soul and all of our strength to serve the cause of peaceful humanity by setting an example. “We rejoice today that all of the | nations of the Western Hemisphere | are at peace with each other and with the rest of the world. ‘The United States seeks no conquest. We have no imperial aspirations. Not only do we desire peace, but we are de- { termined in all of our relations to | avoid those perils that would endanger the gains that have been made. We desire to be a good neighbor and we are ready at all times to co-operate | with all nations and peoples to make | the spirit of peace a practical and May God hasten the day when this spirit shall dominate | the whole world.” Sayre Speaks of Causes. Sayre added a few words of his own on the subject of peace. “In the last analysis,” he said, “the root cation program, as one of the princi- | indeed, fitting that in connection with | causes of war are not inflamed racial pal speakers.

President | Roosevelt's address was delivered by Sayre in fhe absence of Secretary of State Hull, who was unable to attend. In her address of welcome convention last night Mrs. convention hostess for the | States, told her audience, “We lament | that we welcome you to a country where liquor has been relegalized. Be- | fore God, my comrades” she said “the W. C. T. U. of the United States | did its best to prevent it. But now | already. the backward swing s perceplible and with our enlarged pro- gram, which has met such cordial support, we hope that when you come | to us in & future convention we may | welcome you to a land free of the stains of liquor.” to the Smith, United Studebaker Speaks. Greetings vention last were extended the con- night by Dr. John W Studebaker, Federal commissioner of education; Rev. Edwin Holt Hughes D. D, senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Mrs, F. A, Lin- zel, president of the Women's Council of the Churches Studebaker commended particularly the organization's five-year program of alcohol education in the United States and emphasized the importance of temperance which “appiies to fields far wider than the use of alcohol.” In the program yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mary B. Egbert, world W. C. T. U. representative in Central Amer- ica, told of her work over & period of years in attempting to instill the prin- ciples of temperance among the na- tives of the isthmus, a great majority of whom, she said, are illiterate or speak only in restricted dialect tongues. Following yesterday afternoon’s pro- gram, delegates and visitors to the con- vention went to statuary hall, where Miss Agnes E. Sl of London, for many years honorary secretary of the world union, placed a wreath on the statue of Frances E. Willard, founder of the union in 1884. Miss Slack, one of the greatest British leaders in the temperance movement. was a personal friend of Miss Willard. . Saddlery and TRUNK Lutgase Repairing of Leather Goods G.
