Show WOMAN'S FXPONKNT. ; i4 - - y- are Organisations and what Local Councils the' affiliated with th: National Council of United States. All members of such 'National. Organizations .and such Local Councils are, through the National Council 10 which they belong, members also of the International Couu'cil; but with the Exception 'of the women above named these are not delegates, and their respective organizations may not mrieperKk.tly send delegated to the International Council. Resides these regular officialilelegates the International Council has invited fraternal delegates from t'o classes of organizations; From National Councils "not with the International Council; and from International7 Organizations. "So many organizations are nominally international thai are really not so, that, it is most important to be extremely careful, even in establishing so slight a bond between the International Council and the organization as is implied in the invitation to the latter to send a fraternal delegate.. At the present time the following organizations, witli varying claims to a recognition of their International scope, have been; invited to send fraternal delegates: .The Arbitration and Peace Society; the Red Cross Federation; Union of Friends of the International Ymirig Women;, the International Association for the Abolition of the State Regulation" of Vice; the' Worlds Woman's Christian Temperance Union; the Young Woman's, Christian Association, and the General Federation, of Women's Clubs. It is probable that to this brief list the International Order of King's Daughters will be added. It is important, that it be understood that the above organizations have no claim upon the International Council, excepting that of courtesy, and that their members, unless related to the International Council through their membership hi- some organization afliliatvd with the National Council, are to apply for only the ordinary ticket eligible, i ' ito.'it me n ot admission congress. These statements are thus explicitly made that there may be no embarrassment experienced later. It will certainly be understood that they are not made because of any desire on the part oL the officers of the International Council to exclude desirable women from either Council or Congress; on the other hand, the most persistent, patient efforts have been made during eleven years to diffuse ..an- understanding of the organization of the National The relaCouncil and the International. so is the tion decisions made by logical that yet-affiliate- d - - . - nf ArMtinrpmnnfc frr tVit.
