CHRISTABEL PANKHURST
ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
Militant Suffragist Believes England
Will Win War-Women
Loyal to Flag.

NEW YORK, October 14.-Christabel

of England, came unannounced to New
York today aboard the Red Star steam
err Finland. Miss Pankhurst made the
Mcdonald, and did not announce her
identity until the Finland was within
sight of shore
Il do not come to America to advo-
cate militant methods" were almost
the gangplank into the midst of a
dozen reporters. Militant methods are
not needed in America. The men of
the United States are more liberal than
the men of England; this is demon
strated by the fact that a number of
your states have already granted wom-
an suffrage.
"In England our cause has given way
to the cause Of war, and We women Of
England are all loyal to our flag. The
women's fight for votes in England has
been laid aside temporarily. 1 believe,
however. that England would have been
better equipped for war if her women
had been given the vote. 1t had been
generally expected for years that the
the greatest sufferers. should have had a
voice in the preparations to meet 1t.
BE that 1t as it may, militancy has
already given its lesson in England.
None of the Englishwomen believe that
England will do anything but win in
this war"
Miss Pankhurst said she expected to
remain in the United States for a few
months. She said she expected to go to
Chicago and to Boston. While in New
York she will be the guest of Mrs O.
h. +. Belmont, the suffrage leader.

distant from Ostend, disproving re-
ports that the town had likewise been
occupied.
The British government has asked
the American consul at Warsaw, cap
ital of Russian Poland, to take over
British interests in the event that the
town is captured by the Germans.
American Consul De Soto at Warsaw
cabled for instructions, saying that
there was every probability of occu-
patton by the Germans. It. is believed
here that the Russians intend to evacu-
