A WOMAN’S DEPARTMENT
A woman’s Department of the International Peace Forum, under the leadership of Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk, with headquarters at Cleveland, Ohio, has been organized. This Department will have a Bureau in the World Court magazine, conducted by Mrs. Kirk, who is a well known writer and lecturer who has been prominent in many activities for the promotion of the welfare of her sex and of the rising generation.
