Civil WAR is ON
IN GREAT BRITAIN
That is the Way SuffragiStS
Look at 1t

New York, Dec. 4.-"The thing that
the British Government refuses to rec
ognize in the energetic campaign for
votes for women that the women of
England are carrying on is that a
state of civil war exists" says Miss
Maud Malone, the militant suffragette,
1--WE learn by cable dispatches from
London that the suffragette post box
outrages' have aroused a feeling of
bitter evaporation on the part of the
Government, and of course it is max
ing the people think. This is the pur-
pose of the suffragettes-to make the
people think When they think, we
shall get our rights.
THE dispatches say the House Sec
rotary is considering fresh prosecution
and in the future suffragettes i'm
prisoned will be allowed to starvc
themselves to death if they choose. The
Jail authorities will simply place food
in the cells to be eaten or ignored.
1--WE believe here that the cause Of
the women of Great Britain is just, and
that they are adopting only such meth
DDS of fighting as are necessary tc
bring the Government to its senses and
to win recognition of woman's rights
from stiff-necked government of men
The English women will make good
"The Government won't admit that d
revolution is really on, and instead OF
treating the women like political pris-
oners they treat them like criminal
prisoners and have resorted to feeding
by force. And now the Government
finding that it's method of feeding by
force is not making it any friends
among the common people adopts a
more cruel method, and proposes to
tantalize the prisoners who refuse to
eat by placing food in their sight.

MRS. ALSOP IS
AGAIN IN A A
SANITARIUM
ENJOYS Her CIGARETTES
Georgia Girl Who Married
Old Man in LimGlight

Washington, Dec. AIRS. Effie Pope
Alsop the 19-year-old wife of Edward
B. Alsop, the septuagenarian million
aire of Pittsburg and Washington, who
landed in New York Thursday from
abroad and seemed to be in the best
of spirits, is ill again and undergoing
treatment in a sanitarium, according
to Mr.. Alsop. ~
Mrs. Alsop went abroad several
weeks ago with friends, and Mr. Alsop
remained at home. She has been in
ill-health since her marriage last
spring, and once before was confined
in a sanitarium. 1t was thought that
a trip abroad would benefit her health,
When Mrs. Alsop, who was formerly
Miss Etfie Pope Hill, arrived in New
York Thursday with Mrs. Alice Martin,
her husband was at the dock to receive
her. Newspaper accounts from New
York were to the effect that when
the steamer pulled in Mrs. Alsop was
on an upper deck smoking cigarette,
and that during the trip she had be-
come generous and sold a ring to
raise money to distribute in the steer
age.
The accounts also told of how Mrs.
Alsop laughed and poked at the pier
and seemed to be having the time Of
her young life. Interviews with her
were to the effect that she had had n
grand time and was feeling fine. She
was reported to be wearing numerous
Misunderstanding rings and other
pieces of jewelry. 1t was said also
that Mr. Alsop appeared to be cross
with his young wife and that after
talking with him she wept softly"
1t was expected that Mr.. and Mrs
Alsop would come directly to Washing
ton to occupy their home at 1902
Twentieth street, northwest. Mr.. AL
sop came, but he said yesterday that
his wife was not with him.
my wife was not in good health
when she landed, and therefore it was
decide that she go to a private place
for treatment" he said yesterday az
ternoon. Il must decline to say just
where she is, because | do not think
1t is any of the public's business. She
is not in the same sanitarium as be-
fore, however. I do not suppose that
she will be well enough to come here
for several weeks.
Il do not like what the newspapers
have said about us. / think / have
been very patient, but so much that is
untrue has been put in the papers that
| am getting thoroughly sick of it,
do not see why the papers cannot let
my family affairs alone am not
prominent, and the public has no in
terest whatever in me or my wife"
Mrs Alsop has never entered as was
expected into the social life of Wash
ington. She became i'll shortly after
her marriage, and it was reported at
the time that she had become estrang-
ed from her husband. He denied 1t
emphatically, however, and shortly af-
terward she came here to live for a
while She was not strong, however,
according to Mr.. Alsop, and went out
in society but little.
