LONDON. May s.-The militant sec
tion Of the British suffragettes in
tends TO inaugurate a campaign of
even greater violence to avenge the
defeat of the woman's suffrage bill
Tuesday night and the prosecution of
the central militant organization. Ad-
yanced members of the fighting sis
terhood declared today that ''the
events of the last few days are to
be eclipsed by worse things to come
Votes for Women. the woman suf-
frage newspaper, edited by Mr.. and
Mrs. Pethick Lawrence. says today.
We see before the country a pc
riod of disorder such as has not Oeen
known for decades, perhaps for cen
turies. We see a prospect Of yio-
lence being answered by violence in
a Aterrible crescendo We foresec the
likelihood of crimes being sympa-
thized with, IL not condoned and ap-
proved. by many of the most re-
spected, law-abiding members of the
community"
The police authorities are greatly
concerned about the increase of bomb
attacks on buildings. Another OF
these outrages was attempted at Tot
tenham, in the northeast of London,
this morning Like that deposited
yesterday in ST. PauPs Cathedral. the
bomb was discovered before it had
time to explode. 1t was found by a
caretaker outside the door of shop.
Militant Ranks Growing.
The authorities have obtained evil
dence that many former constitu-
tional suffragettes have Joined the
militant body since the defeat Of the
woman's suffrage bill. There Is no
question that the number of the mill
tants is growing larger.
The damage to property in the
British Isles caused by the militant
suffragettes during the last three
months amounts to more than So
600. 900 according to an official esti-
mate made today by the authorities
at police headquarters in Scotland
Yard.
To this sum they say must be ADD
sed the increased cost of protectine
lives and property. Three detectives
have been assigned to watch over
each member of the cabinet at al
times. while all suspected persons are
shadowed by plainclothesmen and all
public buildings have been placed
under special guard.
Figured at this rate. the suffragettt
activities are costing the country al
least $25. 600 600 a year.

denly collapsed and fell in a heap or
