The International Council of Women will follow closely upon the International Peace Conference of men. . The women of this country, and of many 'others also, sought t6 emphasize the peace movement by holding simultaneous meetings and passing. Resolutions, recognizing the efforts leing put forth by the Czar and other fillers to bring about a more harmon-iouswa- y of settling difficulties and differ ences; - - r- The international Council of Women scarcely expect to move the" world in such a way as to cause disarmament, even gradu- - ally, though their influence is,' and will be, brought to bear in this direction, nevertheless the great Council and Congress about to convene, will at least discuss the most important questions of the age. The Preamble to the Constitution of the Inter national Council reads as follows: We vmcn of all nations, sincerely believing of humanity will be advanced g of thought, sympathy and pur-jHsunity, g)d of the family and of the stat. do hereby band ourselves in a federation of workers to fut'thtr the application of the Golden Rule to society, custom and law. .- (a) To provide . means of communication between women's organizations, in all countries. lb) To provide opjvrtnnities for women to meet together lrom all pans of. the world to confer upon questions relating to the welfare of and the family. As there seems to be much lack of understanding of the real foundation and machinery of the Council, as also of the spirit and ideal, it is, therefore, appropriate' and essential at a time when so many Utah women are making preparations to go to London and attend the. sessions of the Council, that a more general diffusion of its benefits should be laid before the people. The Exponent of May 15th published a Jong article furnished by May Wright Sewall, who is perfectly familiar "With the aims, purposes and work of the National Council of this and other countries, and the International, with which they are affiliated .

Torrents of rain ushered in Queen Victoria's birthday today; Windsor, where a general holiday is being observed, was decorated with flags and the 'church bells were rung at 11 o'clock in the morning. The weather cleared about 11' 'dock and a serenade by the- - Windsor and Eton amateur choral societies was given in. the grand quadrangle of Windsor Castle. Sir Waller Parratt, the master of the queen's music and private organist to the queen, wearing his official robes, conducted the serenade from the steps of the. queen's private entrance to the palace, just below the oak room where the queen was breaThe Eton college volunteer kfasting. cadets marched into the castle grounds. Behind the cadets were drawn up the rest of the Eton boys and the Military Knights of Windsor. The mayor .and corporation of Windsor, in their fullrobes of pSce, and the borough magistrates were also present. The scene was picturesque. They all sang the national anthem 'and the choir gave the program comprising the late Bishop of Wakefield's Jubilee hymn, a four part song, and two specially written madrigals "To the Queen." Finally the Eton boys gave three lusty cheers in honor of her majesty and the Duke of Connaught came to one of the. windows and thanked those present in behalf of the queen, who herself, looking to be in excellent health, came forward and bowed repeatedly. During the afternoon the queen planted an oak sapling on the east lawn of Windsor Castle. She drove along Kenneth drive to the spot and was assisted in the planting by the Duke of and otha. V All the royal family witnessed the ceremony. Her the iiicjesty then continued her drive in direction of Frograore.
