SOCIALISTS DISCUSS EQUALITY OF SEXES IN TIMES OF CONFLICT
BRUSSELS. The International Socialist Congress which is being held here in the course of a discussion on the question of the mobilisation of women in industry during a war, considered two propositions. The French considered complete mobilisation on the basis of the equality of the sexes. The Belgians replied.that they favoured such equality "in disarmament but not in war and death." The congress generally approved the Belgian thesis voting for a resolution to that effect. On Sunday afternoon the Congress was the occasion of a veritable mobilisation of "the Socialistforces of Belgium, delegates arriving in Brussels on several special trains. For the first time since the war proceedings included a German delegation. Three hundred Socialists from Essen, Cologne, and Leipsic walked in the centre of the parade of Belgian workmen, composed of young men all wearing the same head-dress. The procession took two hours in passing the reviewing stand. ' ■ '■ .
