Addams asks members of the Woman's Peace Party National Executive Board to use their influence to try to prevent the United States from being drawn into war.
The leaders of the different branches of the Woman's Peace Party contribute towards a letter stating why the President should call for a referendum vote on whether or not America should go to war.
Addams telegrams the German section of the International Women's Committee for Permanent Peace that American women send greetings and hope that war will not come.
