LONDON, Feb. 3.--Leaders in Pal
lament, panic.stricken because 0
he militant methods Of the sufTra
,ettes, seldom venture into the street
low without bodyguards. Their home
ire also protected night and day b.
peclally assigned police, who hav,
,een warned to prevent lncendiar,
res or other damage.
Sir Edward Grey has temperate!
bandoned his official residence ant
low sleeps in Sloane Gardens.

Churchill Baby Guarded.
Alarmed by rumors that his ehIlt
would be kidnapped, Winston Church
Ill has four policemen constantly OF
guard outside hts house. He is no.
lacking in personal courage. but his
beautiful wife has urged the authori
ties 10 take ample precaution against
The sutfragcttes. The Churchill baby
Is invariably followed BY plain clothes
men from Scotland Yard when the
nurse takes the child out for an air

Prime Minister Asuith objects
strongly TO have bodyguard. but thu
Police Commissioner Is not at all sat
islied with the promise made by sui
fragette leaders to respect human life
He has pointed out that some OF thu
younger and more ardent sutfragettes
have openly threatened to throw vii
rioI. which the police consider almost
as serious as murder.
Incendiarism Feared.
lncendiary fires are most feared BY
! the authorities. They firmly believe
an attempt will be made 10 burn tn
principal Government buildings. ThC
force of night policemen in the neigh
horhood OF Westminster conseuent!,
has been doubled.
Not only in their methods are tn
sufFragettes divided. The "cabincttc.
us tho non-partisan body which IS l.
draw up a womans suffrage bill /
called has already discovered that OH
of its chief difficulties will be to deter
mine what is the happy mean whlc'
will meet the views OF the creates

the sufIraglsts 10 decide for them
selves whether the projected bill
should include votes for women upol
the adult suffrage plan or upon tn
Norwegian plan, which restricts TIL
suffrage somewhat, or should be
compromise proposadI which wouI
even further reduce the number o
women 10 whom the vote would b
extended.
Each. OF three schemes has Its pal
tticulat group OF supporters among tn
4 women. and while some women woul
accept any Of the three, others arc al
Iparently SO enamored OF their own fl
vorcd plan that they refuse to cor
slider tho alternatives.
Favor Norwegian Plan.
The opinion prevails ut present tina
the Norwegian plan, which extend
1.-The suffrage 10 married. women an
4 women householders over the age q
25 years, has the bulk of the sufrragis
support. The Parliamentary commit
tee formed under the presidency 0
W. H. Dickinson, who is the chan
piou in England of the Norwegia'
plan, will consult with the suftragis
and the political parties to find
basls fora general agreement.
