A crowded mass meeting addressed by women took place one evening in
the Academy of Music, with Mrs. Catt presiding. Mrs. Stritt, president
of the National Suffrage Association of Germany, spoke on Woman
Suffrage and Eugenics; Mme. Maria Verone, a well known lawyer of
Paris, made her impassioned address in French, and Dr. Gulli Petrini
of Sweden spoke in French on Woman Suffrage and Democracy; Miss
Schwimmer inspired the audience with Hungarian oratory; Miss Jane
Addams of the United States gave a forceful address on Why the Modern
Woman Needs the Ballot, and Dr. Shaw closed the meeting with an
eloquent interpretation of the demand of women for the vote. One
afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock was devoted to a Young People's Meeting,
addressed by delegates from eight countries. A forenoon was given to
the discussion of the always vital question, What Relation Should
Suffrage Organizations Bear toward Political Parties, led by Mrs. Anna
B. Wicksell, Sweden, and Miss Courtney, Great Britain. A large
audience heard one evening the Benefits of Woman Suffrage related by
those who had been sent as official delegates from Governments that
had given the vote to women, Mrs. Qvam, Miss Krog and Mrs. Spencer,
and in supplementary speeches by Mrs. Jenny Forselius, member of
Parliament from Finland; Miss A. Maude Royden, Great Britain; Mrs.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, United States, whose topic was New Mothers
of a New World. A resume of all these addresses was made in Hungarian
by Vilma Gluecklich. During the convention much of the interpreting in
English, French and German was done by Mrs. Maud Nathan of the United
States, who also made an address in the three languages.

On the last day it seemed almost as if the men had taken possession of
the congress, for they had secured the convention hall for the
afternoon meeting, but the women did not like to discourage such
exceptional interest. Woman Suffrage and Men's Economic, Ethical and
Political Interest in it was discussed by Professor Emanuel Beke,
Hungary; Dr. Emil von Hoffmansthal, Austria; Frederick Nathan and
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, United States. Vigorous speeches were made by
Malcolm Mitchell, Great Britain; Leo Gassman, Germany; the Rev. Benno
Haypal, and Alexander Patay, Hungary. The hall was resto
