THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1915. PRESIDENT WILSON IS . APTIMP WiTU PDPAT nuiiiYu linn uiiLni ; WISDOM AND INSIGHT President of Women's Feder ' ation on Arrival Here Tells -of Confidence in Executive. ADMIRATION WIDESPREAD ETry Stat Convention Attended Ex presses Implicit Faith In 3u&t k ment of Nation-a Chief. ' "In this terrible crisis through which eur country is passing. President- Wit aon is acting with great iyiisdbm and Bjnruuat uiBigui, iia is cviucuiiiiig me highest patriotism when, ho amy, 'what America must lo is what is best for tha world, said Mrs. Percy V.. Penny backer, president 6t the General Fed eration of Women's clubs, who arrived In Portland last night to preside ovjr the Council of the General Federation Which opens its sessions with a re ception atf Iloter MultnomaJ) Monday evening, "I ami a very great admirer of Presi dent Wilson, he Ms a man who rises above all party lines. I left my home in Austin, Texas, more than a month ago and on my way west I have at tended a number of 'State Federation conventions and at most of these reso lutions commending the President of the United States for his actions thus far and assuring him of Implicit raitli In his judgment, were passed and amid tumultous cheers. My admonition is to hate the monster war, but keep an open mind toward all nations con cerned.f' , ; ' Woman of Bar Personality. Mrs-TPennybacker is a1 little woman of rare magnetic personality, and when she takes your hand and looks straight into your eyes you tpe that you are being taken into her hoar t too, so warm is her clasp, so sweet her smile and ho cordial her words of greeting. She would have you think that the pleas ure In. meeting is hers rather than yours, a gift possessed by but few. "My tripj west has been a succession of pleasure, the conventions -were in spiring in the main. My introduction to California was by way of San Diego and Just let me tell you that the ex position there Is a greml it is a real .sapphire and then I had a wonderful time in and around Los Angeles and then came up to the great exposition at San Francisco. It is worth while in every sense of the word; its education al value cannot be over-estimated and a. work of art it-is, indeed, a marvel ous achievement. "And although I haven't seen much of your beautiful Oregon yet, I know I shall like -it. I had a letter from my son this morning; he was here three years ago, and he began his let ter toy saying, "I know you will fall In love with Oresron: it in ho H.lti- ful. Already I can see that your club women are leaving nothing' undone toward making this a great gathering, and toward giving us a splendid time.' Principles Not Understood "What about the reports which have been recently circulated saying the General Federation is to be reorgan ized at this meeting," was asked. "They simply show that whoever started them does not understand the underlying principles of our organiza tion. This council is not a legislative body; it is purely advisory; we meet to report progress ' and to present problems, and to discuss things gen erally, but It is only at the biennial that we really pass resolutions and take action on things, "To e sure, we have a committee on revision and reorganization, which will make a report at this meeting. and this- will probably be followed byH open discussion, then we will take a whole year to' think the report over, and vote on it at the biennial, which will be held in New York city next May. Doesn't this plan show safeness and saneness; one of the things we al ways try to do is to deliberate suffi ciently before making any steps.' "There are those, Mrs. Pennybacker, who are still questioning as to what this big club movement really accom- FEDERATION PRESIDENT JS Of. RARE MAGNETISM if ' ' ill V sV, J ' ' ,v - " e u Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker. plishes in the world; what will you say to them?" Great Sociological Fore. "The dub movement has done so much that I don't know how to put it in, a few sentences, but I will say that the General Federation, which now comprises niore than 2,000,000 of members, is recognized as one of the great sociological forces of the world. In art and in music the General Fed eration has been a liberal patron. It has brought good art into mining camps, rural schools, the slum dis tricts and kindred places, and it has done much toward raising the public taste. The civic department has been helpful in every civic movement in the United States. The conservation department is tecognized by the United . States government as one of its greatest allies in convincing people that willful waste makes woeful want. The civil service is doing a great work along lines of public health and pure food lines. Other Objects Told. "The home economics department is doing much in helping women to real ize the importance of the home maker. Since women spend S3 per e'ent of the income, should they not know how to spend it wisely and well? "The social and industrial depart ments are interesting themselves in child labor legislation, and in all things tending to Improvement of con ditions for women and children. The Immigration problems are being probed by the educational, social and industrial departments in an effort to decrease the illiteracy of the country." Eussia Denies She Lost a Battleship Paris, May 28. (I. N. S.) In an official satement issued here today the ministry of marine states that the Russian admiralty categorically denies the announcement by Turkish officials that- the Russian battleship Pantelimon had been torpedoed by a Turkish submarine. The Russian admiralty, according to the" statement, claims that the Pante limon is safe in port. The statement says that not a single Russian 'war ship has been sunk or damaged.
