"It seems as though t'ho j whole world has gone crazy. There must be some little spot left where rea- 1 | son will rule." I While under normal conditions unoffi- I | i ial visits of women to foreigu govern-! , ments in the interests of "peace not; , only are fruitless, but are considered: | foolish, the present plan, Miss Addams'l ! declared, is meeting with a reasonable measure of success. fIIWERICANPHYSICIfINS ARE EACER TO SERVE AUSTRIA Washington, May 21.—Unverified!' press reports from Vienna that Austria- 1 Hungary was in dire need of army sur geons and would pay six or seven dol i lars a day have brought a flood of let ters to the Austro-Hnngarian embassy 1 from physicians all over the United 1 | States, offering their services.
