month must be elapse before the guns can
again be brought in action. Even if the

be presented to the Turkish delegation

the Turks three days In which to answer;
the expiration of that period will occur
on Sunday so that the Turkish reply
would not be delivered until Monday next.
Then the allied delegations will have to
notify their respective governments and
ask Sir Edward Grey to convoke a final
sitting of the conference for the official
rupture of the negotiations and also in
order TO thank the British government
for its hospitality. This will take at
least ten days.
Then the governments at Sofia, Cettinje
and Belgrade must denounce the armis-
tiee. Working with exceptional celerity
this could be done the next day and hos
tilities could then be resumed on Feb

Endeayor to Carry Out Pledge

Premier Asquith repudiated the sug-
gestion that the government had been
guilty of sharp practice regarding the
question of woman suffrage. He de-
clared members of the cabinet honestly
had endeavored 20 carry out their
pledge to challenge decision from the
house of commons on woman suffrage.
The government, he said, had now
pledged itself to give to a woman suf-
frage bill introduced by a private mem
ber next session the safe facilities as
il had given to the controversial gov
ernment measure allowing members
complete freedom to vote in accord
ance with their individual predilec-
tions
Those suffragettes who had been ad-
rfitted into the outer lobby of the house
of commons and those in the vicinity
of the house took the rebuff to their hopes
with ominous silence The outer lobby
vas safely guarded by lines of police
and the inner sanctum was crowded with
representatives of various suffrage socie-
ties, but there was no demonstration
when Premier Asquiths announcement he
came known Mrs Emmaline Pankhurst
and her sister miltants will have a meet
ing tonight to decide their course of ac-
ton.
The government appears to have de-
cided to drop the question of franchise
reform altogether for the present session
Harold Trevor Bakers plural voting bill
requires too extensive amendment, ac-
cording to the government view, to be
undertaken in the short time remaining
in the present session. Hence the whole
question will be postponed until the ses-
sion beginning probably March g. when
friends of women suffrage will be invited
by the government to frame bill in
such manner as to secure the support
of all sections.
