TWO WOMENS' CONGRESS NOT ALL PEACEFUL Ladies From Europe Insist on Talking War and Justice T* A^U AM i uyeuici RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED One of the Delegates From Belgium Surprises Audience by Her Remarks. The Hague, Netherlands, via London.?The wings of the dove of peace were ruffled at the session of the International Congress of Women. At the instance of Dr Augspurg, of Munich, the entire Belgian delegation was invited to the platform. They were welcomed by the chairman, Miss Jane Addams, of Chicago, with both hands,shaking with the German delegates. - i /* i 1-1 At in moving- inc unai resolution, ivirs Kosika 'Schwimmer, president, of the Hungarian Woman's Suffrage Association, requested that ail delegates stand one minute in silent prayer for place. Mile. Hairier of the Belgian delegation, asked permission to utter a few words. When this was granted she astounded her audience with this dramatic exclamation: "1 am a Belgian before everything and I cannot think as you do. There can be no peace without justice. The war must continue until the Belgians wrongs have been righted. There must be 110 mediation except at the bar of justice." General sympthy for the Belgians caused part of the audience to break into cheers. Justice Added to Resolution. On the motion of Miss Holbrook, of Chicago, the word "justice" was inserted in the resolution which reads: "The International Congress of Wnmrn nf rlift'ovonf ntif inne f f VIIIV1I) V/JL villi VI VII t UUtlV/IIO) V I vv\iu J -classes and parties, is united in expressing sympathy with the suffering of all, whatever their nationality, who are lighting for their country or who are laboring under the burden of war. Since the mass of the people of each of the countris now warring believe themselves to be lighting not aggressively but in self-defence and for their national existence, it urges the govrnments of the world to put "an end to this bloodshed and to hegin peace negotiations, and it emphatically demands that the peace which follows shall be permanent, and, therefore based upon justice and principles which include those adopt ed by this congress." "I was a suffragist and remained a suffragist. I suffered in jail for it. I am just a plain English working woman, but I represent millions of women who favor the present just war as much as do the men. One hundred and eighty women are said to be waiting at Tilbury to come to this congress to talk peace. For every one of those women a thousand women arc willing to accompany their sons and husbands to fight. We are tired of the century old silly platitudes such as are uttered here." Mrs Lillingston insisted on continuing her speech until she war ruled out of order. Elizabeth Glendower Evans, of I Jos toil, and Mrs. Morgan Branch, of San Francisco, moved and seconde 1 amendment to the resolution referring to the armament. The dele gates urged that all neutral nation.-, place an embargo on arms and air. JI1UII1I/1UII. Miss Adams said: "1 am glad to agree with Mi. f Evans' indictment, as much of this happened in America," but she ruled that the amendment was out of order, o Desolation in Colon.

On the narrow, rocky Gallipoil peninsula in Turkey, and on a restricted front strotohincr northward from Yprcs, were in Belgium, two of the most vital struggles of the war were in progress last week. French troops have occupied the village of Kum Kaleh, the Turkish fortress on the Asiatic side of the entrance to the Dardanellies. With the new draft of the Japanese demands on China in the hands of the Chinese foreign minister, interest is aroused in the nature of the modifications Japan has' made in the original document. President Yuan Shi Kai and his advisers have examined the demands as amended, but no decision has been reached, and they are likely to be the subject of further discussions. An appeal for relief of Armenian Christians in Turkey has been made to the Turkish government by the United States. Exportation of raw cotton from the United Kingdom was specifically prohibited in a special supplement of the official gazette issued last week. o Better Preparation for Teaching. T-T ill ATn v 9?Tt 1ms boon trn ly said that teaching is both an art and a science. Any training which is c.fective recognizes the.se two phases of the process. At Winthrop College the effort is to combine as closely as possible ti.e theory and iru practice of teaching. Along with .J.".or c^m-fcc-s n education during the .iuniur year a course in cbservath n and criticism of instruction is given. This course provides opportunity for prospective teachers to observe the Training School and its wor!* from many angles. The Training School building, its heating, lighting, ventilation, furniture, halls, stairways, fro protection, etc., are first noted briefly Then comes the main body of the work upon the conduct of the clam room exercise. Here, also, is offered the best possible opportunity to study ! individual children and their peculiarities. It should he noted here that these children will form the classes which the observer will teach as a senior practice teacher. Hence ,sho has a real motive for close and careful observation. She observes the work of all supervising teachers, am some work of practice teachers a* ? well, and from these observations she ' may select those methods and device? which may later aid in solving hei " own problems. This course gives juniors an opnor 1 tunity to become thoroughly aequain' ted with the Training School?its or ganization, its management, its spirit, ideals, and practices.

I AT NORFOLK YARD 1 Kronprinz Wilhelm Laid up for 1 Period of War Says 9 Disnatr.h ? SICKNESS PREVENTED DASH j Captain Thicrfielder Asks Uni- J ted States to Take Charge of Ship. . f U Newport News, Va.,?The German fit auxiliary cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, 1 was interned at the Norfolk navy yard for the remainder of the war m and was at a pier filling her coal bun- \ kers. Work of coaling* was to be com- ? ploted last week and cruiser taken to ^ I Norfolk for internment. The Wilhelm was interned at the re quest of her commander, Captain ^ Thicrfielder. Official notion nf this, in lention to intern was given the collector of customs by the commander, i ' who gave no reason for his action. Following her internment at the Norfolk navy yard the Wilhelm's ficers and men were given the free doin of tlie city as was tlie case of the crew of the Prim/. Kitel Friedrich. Tlie Wilhelm came into port at New port News, little over two weeks ago 1 after a long voyage through southern seas, during which she destroyed four teen merchant ships which, with their I cargoes, were valued at $7,000,000. ! Commander Thierfield said that it J h"d been his intention to attempt the dash for sea past the allied warships . rr i i * r ?>n me Virginia Uapos, hut the con- j tinued serious illness of more than GO members of his crew, who are suffering from bevi-beri, would make the 1 dash impossible before the expiration of the time limit set for his departure j from this port.

Announcement came from Newpork News that the commander of the German sea raider Kronprinz V- ilhelm had given notice that he would intern without waiting A expiration of the time allowed by the j United States to make his ship sea worthy, was received with surprise and relief in Washington, It is understood that several days of that period still remained. I It was suggested here that Thier fielder's announcement was made on instructions from the German govern- ^ mcnt through the embassy here not to attempt a dash. The Wilhelm was interned at the Norfolk navy yard and her officers and men allowed the freedom of the cities about Hampton Roads, under the same rules made for the crew of the interned Prinz Hitol Friedcrick. ? y ((I'lKT IN RELGIUM.
