Hungary.
Since our last report tiir struggle fi>r wi>iii;ih suffrage in I limgary was rather a fierce one, but after all crowned with success. The first great open-air meeting for universal suffrage held by the allied parties (the 1848 Independent Party and the Social-democrats) in Arad was followed every week by meetings in Pecs, Hodmesovasarkely, Kassa, Szom-bathely, Nagyvarad and lately in Erzsebetfalva. At each meeting the Feministak Egyesiiletc was represented by an appointed speaker as well as by many local members, and every one of these places means a further station on the way to victory for our common cause. In Arad, contrary to parliamentary rules, the leaders of the meeting refused our deputy the right to speak on their platform; in fees they changed tactics and by conspiracy caused such a row and scandal as to make it impossible for her to be heard. The leaders of the parties experienced in both these cases that by these very illegal measures used against women, the dignity of the meetings is endangered, whereas the public sympathy for the women's cause is roused. At the next occasion, in Hodmesovasarhcly, they suffered the representative of the F. E. to speak. Her success was complete, but she could only speak after the resolution for universal suffrage was passed. In Kassa our delegate succeeded in speaking before the passing of the resolution, to which she moved woman suffrage as an amendement; but though it had the full sympathies of the meeting, the amendment was not allowed to be voted upon, and the president pronounced the resolution to be ..unanimously carried". A similar ,,unanimous resolution" was passed a-midst the indignation of the meeting at Szombathely, where our delegate had full success, which Mr. Justh, the leader of the Fndependant Party, who has repeatedly declared himself in favour of woman suffrage, tried to counterbalance by saying that he did not think the time had come for it yet. He warned those, who want to urge the claim of woman suffrage together with men's suffrage that they serve the women's cause very badly, as this Government does not mean to give universal suffrage even to men: ,,lf the Feminists—he continued—before whom t bow with all reverence for their energetic and laudable perseverance, will hasten to our help with their great influence and enduring activity and join with us in the labour to win universal suffrage for men, the People's Parliament will be the result, and this Parliament will, as its first work, grant to women the suffrage."—Nevertheless this time the raven did not drop the cheese.—The Socialdemocrat speaker came out fully in favour of woman suffrage.
The same tactics were followed in Nagyvarad and only yesterday, on the 2d of July, the meeting was asked whether the woman speaker would be granted a hearing? Only three or four of those present would not hear her, and so she could speak and had great success, after which her motion added to the resolution passed by a unanimous vote. The resolution claims from the present Parliament universal suffrage for both sexes, and this is the first resolution in Hungary in favour of woman suffrage adopted by a meeting arranged by two political parties. Let us hope that both parties will have understood the importance of this event! We are in cheerful expectation of  its  consequences.
On the 28th of May a new local Society was founded with zealous members in Nagyvarad.
On the 9th of June we had a splendid and successful garden-party with lovely illumination, a farce picture-gallery a humoristic suffrage processic.n and a meeting,  in which  with other speaker even  Miss
Schwimincr   addressed   the   public,  though   she   was',I in Stockholm at the time—by means of a phonograph.
Tin1 first general meeting of the Men's League I which was well attended by the members of the I1'. E.A I (and led by Prof. Dr. Dirner) ended with a lecture? of Prof. Dr. llajos about the mental faculties of* women and woman suffrage, which was followed by\ an  interesting  debate.
Our Parliament introduced the " prohibition of woman's night work in conformity with the International Convention of Bern,—not heeding, yea not mentioning even, the protest-resolutions of the meec-ings of the F. E. and as the N. C.W. Hungarian women have no vote, their protest is of no consequence!
We have thankfully to acknowledge the magnanimous gift of 500 Kr. of Mrs. Bertha Engel, president of the local Suffrage Society of Nagy Surany, and the generous offer of the monthly contribution of 10 K. from Miss Adele Spady for the purpose uf the next congress in Budapest.

A women's congress took place at Warsaw under the chairmanship of Miss Duleba to celebrate the thirty years' jubilee of Mine Kuczalska. After the greetings and congratulations to the eminent pioneer of the Polish movement for women's rights, there were lectures followed by discussion. Mme. Cicely Walewska gave a review of the task and work of women during the last 30 years; Mme. Bojanowska showed the beneficial results of women's municipal suffrage in foreign countries; the lawyer Lypacentes advocated a revision of the Civil Code; Miss. Dr. Bornstion claimed protection for mothers; Mile. Pachucha demanded equal educational opportunities for both sexes; Mrs. Koszatska showed the progr-e*» of emancipation among the working women and peasants; Mme. Lewandowska showed that professional work for women not only betters her economic position, but makes her morally independent also. The meeting adopted resolutions, demanding 1) municipal suffrage for women, 2) abolition of the regulation of vice, 3) revision of the law forbidding the inquiry into fatherhood. Numerous greetings hail been received from the National Council of Women of Norway, the French Woman Suffrage Association, the Congres permanent du feminisme international, and from women's associations from Finland, Russia etc. Paris, July 1911.
