President Talks to Mothers.

The White House was the scene of the opening of the international congress on the welfare of the child which is being held under the auspice* of the National Mothers’ Congress. The 200 delegates representing all the states ■nd territories, and a dozen or more of the leading countries of the world, were received at the White House, and President Roosevelt delivered an address to them in which he declared that he placed the society ahead of the civil war veterans, because he said, in the final analysis It Is the mother only who Is a better citizen than the soldier who fights for his pountry.
