London, April 30.-Parliament wai spared a (demonstration by dlelegates to the World's ponveion of Temper anco Workers recently held here only because one of the London membori warned the wvomen that such actior would be illegal. The p~roposal wal made by Mrs. Leo Cowie of New Zea. land, who arousedl the ,enthusiasm of the delegates by telling them that Nev Zealand. women had been successful irl a temperance dlemonstration.

She said, however, that the bill would have to be adopted by three-fifts of the House before it be- I came a law in New Zealand. ' I "Why don't you women march on c Parlianiet from this convention?' she i urged. "You don't want hatchets and t hammers. If you don't get into Par liament, the very fact that you march to the Hoeuse to pray may show thatl you are in earnest andl at any rate I - hey might give Wales her bill."' This suggestion was received with much enthusiasm, until Lady Carlisle pointed out that it would be illegal, and that the convention wvould have to arrange a delegation and not a demonstration to go before the House. It was dlecided to send the. delega-1 tion. Muiss Agnes Slack, summarizing the progress of the temperance movement saidl that Finland and Iceland hav~e obtained prohibition and that in Den mark the work ,was nearing comple tion. Nothing had been heard of the< temperance movement in Russia and i Bulgaria for three years. "In China," she said, "the work isi overwhelming because the liquor trad era from the United States and Can ada are trying to make a center for the sale of their liquor there." --. -o D)EATHI CLAIMS LEVI P.
