an important report was that of the headquarters committee, consisting of catt, mrs. millicent garrett fawcett, first vice-president of the alliance, adela stanton coit, treasurer, and miss macmillan. mrs. coit was chairman the first two years and mrs. fawcett the rest of the time. after the congress at budapest in 1913 the official monthly paper "jus suffragii" was removed from rotterdam to london and the international headquarters established there. for the next seven years the three members of the committee resident in london held regular meetings, seventy altogether, consulting mrs. catt by letter or cable when necessary. miss mary sheepshanks was editor and headquarters secretary. "she occupied that post with great acceptance till 1919," said the report, "when it was with much regret that her resignation was accepted. mrs. elizabeth abbott was appointed to the place, where in connection with the preparations for the present congress her organizing capacity has been of special value." rosika schwimmer of hungary was appointed press secretary to furnish the news to the international press but her work had hardly begun when the war broke out and she resigned the position to take up work for peace.
