In her opening address Mrs. Dodge said: P, “In protesting against the imposi- tion of political duties on women we know we voice the majority of wom- en of the United States. After sixty- five vears of organized effort, woman suffragists represent a minority move- ment. We believe that woman has more power in uplifting civilization through the home than man has through his voice. “The conservative suffragists never been able to control the or- ganized emotion and radicalism in their ranks. Under our form of gov- ernment there is great danger that such an element might cripple wise leizislation. L should like to repeat what we 1 our creed: We anti-suffragists stand for the conservation of the best of American womanhood in all condi- tions and stations of life, for the preservation of the home, for the re- tention of the best ideals of preced- ing generations adapted to the ad- vantages and opportunities given to them under modern conditions. We believe that women, according to their leisure, opportunity and experience, should take part increasingly in civic and municlpal affairs as they have alwa. done in charitable, philan- thropic and educational activities. And we believe, that this can be done best by women without the bal- lot, as a non-partisan body of disin- terested workers.” have City Items } Michael J. Kenney of M. J.

All of the newspapers says the event must be a lesson to the Allies which ought to ur them on to more rapid and energetic action and above all to the organized and effective use of their common re- sources. The commentators, while generally gloomy, make the point that the Rumanians, having abandoned Bucharest, have now a much shorter line which their armies, having emerged intact from the claws of the German enveloping movement, have a good chance of holding until the Allies come to their relief. But it is agreed that with the fall of Ploech- ti there appears no probability of sav- ing the oil flelds, which is considered the worst feature of the situation.
