1t took Mrs. Pankhurst to put
fire into the campaign. She is the
little, motherly woman of soft
voice and daring action who has
lead 100000 English women in
violent attacks upon parliament
and Prime Minister Asquith. She
has served Jail sentences, has
starved herself and has lead wild
demonstrations in London streets
She says now that all this was
to show to the people the marty
dom of her sex. She predicts that
women will have suffrage in Eng
land in two years.
Mrs. Pankhurst started by tell
ing them that if they were to win
they would have to use violent
means. She is for great woman
assault upon congress at the forth
coming session.
Among the 400" women who
have joined the suffragettes here
are Mrs. o. II. p. Belmont, Mrs
William X. Vanderbilt, Sr., and
Mrs. Clarence Mackay These
women possess hundreds of mil
lions of dollars.
Mrs. Russell Sage has an
nounced her interest in the move
ment and is expected to pour out
some of her millions for the cause
of "votes for women"
Giant mass meetings are being
held here and plans are making
for an exciting winter campaign In
