CONDITION OF THE WORLD CHANGED, SAYS JANE ADDAMS

Chicago, Oct. 3. -- The influence of internationalism is beginning to eradicate the once sharply marked national characteristics that differentiated women folk of the world, Jane Addams, president of the Women's International League for Peace, declared today upon her return from a four-month tour of Europe.

"There are few marked characteristics that differentiate the women of the world today," Miss Addams said. "Of course there are differences of manners and dress, but these are superficial."

Miss Addams was optimistic concerning the future of the women's league, the purpose of which, she says, is to organize women everywhere to bring pressure to bear on the governments of the world to forestall all future wars. She attended the third convention of the league in Vienna.
