COUNCIL OF WOMEN.
AW INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY. Frtw Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, May 5. (Received May 5, at 7.10 p.m.) Opening the seventh quinquennial session of tno International Council of Women, the Countess of Aberdeen declared that the organisation’s strength lay in its inhibition against dealing with controversial political and religious issues between nations. “Our special power as women lies in the formation of public opinion in favour of mutual aid and international co-operation, based on fuller knowledge and intercourse between the nations and their component parts,” said the Countess. She asserted that the council must strive to gather up the war-worn peoples of the earth “in the arms of an enveloping motherhood, and soothe away all their fears of one another and of an unknown future.’’ Addresses wore made in four official languages to the convention—English, French, German, and Spanish.r-A. and N.Z. Cable.
