last night in that it was sincere and sane,- without
any attempt at rabble rousing, not appeasing and de-

gloves. MRS. NORRIS' address ( and I am personally utterly
opposed to her viewpoint) was the most convincing,
clean and clear-cut and form-perfect exposition of the
attitude against American entry into the war that I-

adherents and do not win over many opponents but MRS.
NORRIS is likely to make many converts with her brilliant
logic, calm dignity and sense of humor.- The attached ad-
vance release of MRS. NORRIS' speech is in no way repre-.
sentative of what she said. It is only about half of
her address and does not cgontain eny of the personal
touch that made her talk so impressive.
