13th Congress In

Copenhagen.

· (From Our Own Correspondent) The Internationa), Alliance of Women for Suftrage and' Equal Citizenship 18 holding its Thir- teenth Congress in Copenhagen from July 8 to 14 this year. There is a certain boldness, almost a de- hance to fate, in organising an in- ternational meeting in these days, and especially a thirteenth meet- ing! But women are going to prove that in the steady pursuit of their alms there is no such thing as luck. And Denmark and Copenhagen are just as determined in making their plans. Her Majesty, the Queer of Denmark," has graciously con- sented to become Patroness of the Congress. At the opening meeting

Recruiting for it has been ex- tremely rapid, and the roll of Chler Commandants, Senior Comman- dants, Company Commanders and Company Assistants, already fills no fewer than 18 columns of the present Army List. The two Can- trollers are in the County at London and in Derby respectively.'; In view of the rapid expansion' of the Territorial Army, all kinds of new problems must arise, and it seems very necessary that there should be a responsible member. of the Service inside the War Omice to deal with them rapidly. A woman is required who would give her whole time to the work, and who is accustomed to organisation.

It is understood that the question has already been con- sidered by the War Office. A quick decision seems to be required If organization is not to suffer.

It will be recalled how highly successful Dame Helen Gwynne- Vaughan was in the later part of the Great War, when she assumed responsibility for the Women's organization known as the Q. M. A A. C. from its formation till Sep-

She then transferred to be Com- mandant of the Women's Royal Air Force, a post which she held with до less distinction untit December, 1919.
