GREAT BRITAIN NERVOUS.
Development of European Armaments
 Worries London Press.

U6ndon, March 1.-The alarming development of European armaments and the open references of the Ger man press to the possibility of a French war of revenge creates a feel ing of anxiety in Great Britain, and the London papers express disappoint- ment at the omission in the king g speech at the opening of parliament of any indication of the governnent's 2 intentions with regard to further de- fensive measures to meet the growth of continental arInameEts.
 The subsequent debate on the ad- dress, however, brought an important statement from Premier Asquith. Lord Hugh Sevil had voiced the current ru . mors that the government was en- barking on a dangerous foreign policy and had entered into an engagem ent in certain contingencies to hrow 2 British expeditfonary army across the channel.

Made Attempt
 To Reach King
FIVE LONDON SuFFRAGETTES
 UNDER ARREST.
ALL BORE PETITIONS,
Intended to Throw Them Into State coach-Stated There Would Be No
 Law and Order Until Women Vote.

London, March 10.-Fears lest the militant suffragettes might annoy King George and Queen Mary and create a disturbance made the royal opening of parliament and the process sion thereto from the palace today an occasion charged with nervousness.
 Nor were such anttcipations ground less.
 Women Attack Line of Troops.
 Five women attempted to break through the cordon of troops while the royal procession was traversing St. James park, with the intention of throwing petitions into the state coach They carried the petitions in rolls tied with suffragette colors and bran dfshed them enthusiastically.
 It is doubtful, however. If the kins and queen saw the performance. The police bounced upon the women quickly before they could get through the line of soldiers and led them to jail with an enormous cheering crowd following in their wake.
 No Order Until Women Vote.
 In their petition to their majesties the suffragettes declared that law and order could not be re-established in the realm until women had been given the vote.
 The five women arrested gave their names as Lillian Wilcox, Dorothy Smith, Kathleen Pagett, Gertrude Vaughn and Grace Stuart. They were charged with interfering with the DO lice. Miss Vaughn described herself as-an authoress and Miss Stuart said she was an actress.
 Mrs. Enameline Pankhurst, address ing a large meeting of militant suffra- gettes this evening, said it was not the intention of the women to insult the king, but that they intended to use their constitutional right of peti- tioning his majesty.
 Text of Petition to King.
 The text of the petition which ths suffragettes proposed to hand to King George was as follows;
 The unrest among women and their militant revolt can never be ended except by removing their d1scontent. Votes for women is the only cure for milftancy.
 The revolting and futile policy of releasing hunger strikers and re- arresting them simply will bring dis credit to the minister responsible therefor Such treatment will never break the spirit of the women, though it will very likely bring about a trage- dy, for although the women cannot be defeated they can be killed by perse cution.
 Urged to Renew Miiitaney.
 If law and order are to be re- established in this realm women must have the vote. We look to see i'll your gracious speech from the throne message telling us that in the present session of parliament & law will be enacted giving votes to women.
 After the foregoing petition had been read by Mrs. Emneline Plank hurst at a meeting of the militant sufragettes this evening. Miss Annie Kenney proclaimed that as there was nothing in the kings speech about suffrage. the only thing to do is to renew our mi1tancy."
