PANKHURST
NO MORE NEUTRAL
Militant to Make Pro.British
Speech, Despite Suffra-
giSt Warnings.

Miss Christabel Pankhurst sent some
thing like bomb into the dutifully
neutral ranks of the New York suf-
fTagists yesterday, when she declared
that her speech to-day at Carnegie
Hall was to be decidedly British.
When reminded that President Wilson
rad asked all citizens not to enter into
partisan discussions Miss Pankhurst
retorted:
"If America is to take an intelligent
pa:t in the peace programme at the
end OF the war she must have an in
telligent understanding of the c0ndi-
tions which brought it on. Ii seems to
me that America should listen to both
sides. ] notice everywhere the activi-
ties Of the German press bureau. II
surely is no worse 20 hear partisan
arguments than TO read them.
at really is less fair, because when
one reads there is no chance TO ask
questions, but after my address any
one who is not convinced is invited to
ask all the questions he wishes.
Moreover, al the discussions in the
papers have been carried on by men,
and however learned they may be their
point of view is not the same as that
Of a woman. II the women of the
world are 10 have a voice in the max
ing or preventing of wars in the future
they should begin at once to train their
minds to decide international ques-
tons"
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch ex-
pressed her intention of attending Miss
Pankhurst's meeting, but Mrs. Ray
mond Brown, president of the New
York State Woman Suffrage Associ-
alton. has returned the box which Miss
Pankhurst sent to her. 1t will be used
by Max Eastman.

American Finds Austrian
Capital Lively, but
Without War News.
BELIEVES COUNTRY
FAR FROM DEFEAT
Under German Supervision All
Dual Monarchy's Resources
Will Be Utilized.
LEY Gable 70 The Tribune.l

London, Oct. 23.-R. N. James, an
American living in London, returned
to-day from the Continent, having traV-
elled in Austria-Hungary and Germany
He spent considerable time in Vienna
which place he reported calmer than
London, with the inhabitants getting no
news of what was taking place, but II
was the gayest city he had seen IN the
warning countries.
Mr.. James told members of the Amer
lean committee here that Emperor
Francis Joseph had conferred the high
est honor that could be bestowed on a
foreigner on Mrs. Penfeld, wife OF the
American Ambassador, because OF her
exceptional work in aid Of the Red Cross
an honor which was very pleasing 10
the American colony in Vienna.
Lack of organization has been a
serious matter for Austria" said Mr..
James, "but now the German General
staff has taken things IN hand and order
is being brought out of chaos. The
Austrians did not seem to realize the
vastness of their country or its re-
sources, but il was we'll known to the
Germans, and the Allies may rest as
sured that under German supervision
every ounce will be made TO count.
Austria is long way from defeat.
There are thousands of men eligible for
service who have not yet been called:
al know there are reports about dis
agreements between Austrians and Ger
mans. In this connection let me give
an illustration that shows the temper
of the people of Austria. On the night
the fall of Antwerp was officially an
nounced i was in a theatre with an
other American. A picture of Franz
Josef was flashed on the screen Just
after the announcement of the fall OF
Antwerp. There was loud outburst,
but when, a few seconds afterward, a
picture of the Kaiser was thrown on
the screen there was pandemonium.
"That was only one of such scenes,
for the Kaiser's picture or any refer
ence to the Kaiser at public functions
brings tumultuous cheers everywhere;
Don't believe stories about the III
ness of Franz Josef or his being
heartbroken. Americans IN Vienna can
tell a different story, for he is as spry
as a man of half his age. ! saw MIN

know how we'll their captured officers
are being treated by the Germans.
They are little restrained except to re-

Mr.. James said the Germans were in
censed over the crusade in England
against their cOuntrymen.

Official Report of
French WarOnICe

Paris. Oct. 23.-The French official
communication issued tonight says:
ION our left wing the action contin-
ues with great violence, notably around
Arras, La Bsssee and Armentieres.
"The Allies have lost some ground
at some, points around La Bassee but
have won some at the east of Armen-
there's.
Generally speaking, on this mart of
the front the situation remains the
same.
"To the north of the Aisne our artil-
lery has destroyed three German bat
teries."
The official communicate Of this af-
ternoon follows:
ION our left wing the very consid-
cradle German forces whose presence
was reported yesterday have continued
very violent attacks in the entire re-
gion between the sea and the canal Of
La Bassec.
Generally speaking, the situation of
the allied forces has been maintained.
If the Allies have had to cede at GER
tain points, they have advanced at
others. The enemy also has evidenced
very great activity i'm the region of
Arras and on the River Somme. To
the north and to the south of this
stream we have progressed, particu-
larly in the region OF Rosieres.
an Santerre, in the region of YER
dun, and in the region of Pont-a-Nous-
son we have had some partial sue
cesses. On the rest Of the front there
is nothing TO report.
ITO sum up: The enemy appears TO
be undertaking, along the major part
of the front, and particularly between
the North Sea and the Disc, new eff
fort, making use of corps made up of
new organizations. These are COM
posed of men recently drilled, some of
them very young and others of middle
age, and have stats drawn from vari-
Gus parts of the army.
RUSSIA: To the south of the Pilica
the Germans still hold the Vistula
River, with the exception of the line
from Ivangorod to Kozielide. This
they have abandoned, pursued by the
Russians.
"All the efforts made by the Aus
TRANS TO cross the River San to the
north of Jaroslau have been repulsed,
and the Russians are undertaking the
offensive in this region"

Had Barely Established
Themselves When Or
dered to Leave.
BELGIAN FLAGS
LEFT UNFURLED
Hundreds of Wounded Sent to
the City Without Provisions
or Attendants.
LRv cabIc to The Tribune.

Amsterdam, Oct. 23.-All indications
tend to prove that the Germans had
hardly entered Antwerp and had estab-
lished themselves when urgent matters
elsewhere caused them to clear out
with all possible speed. One straw
which shows the way the wind is blow
ing noted yesterday and on Wednes-
day is an inciOent connected with two
Belgian flags.
When the last officers Of the German
army were about to leave Antwerp, it
was pointed out to them that the Ger
man flags had been mysteriously
hauled down from the Town Hall and
Notre Dame and Belgian flags had
been unfurled in their places. One
of the German officers replied that he
could not attend to the matter, as ne
had much more important affairs in
hand, and in few minutes he had set
ont from the city in a southerly direc-
ton.
Only a few hundred of the German
Landsturm are now in Antwerp, the
last of the marine infantry having
marched out early yesterday morning.
For nearly two hours there was an
incessant southwark march of troops,
who entrained outside the city. So
hurried was the German departure
that In four forts at Borsbeik, Belgium,
guns. ammunition and stores were all
left intact and untouched.
Although they denuded the city Of
their troops, the Germans nevertheless
are sending there hundreds of wound
ed for whom they left no provisions
or ATTENDANTS. These wounded are
taken to the Zoo buildings, where. with
the exception of few tiger cubs, all
animals and reptiles were killed by
the Belgians before the bombardment.
A big Red Cross ship filed with
wounded is now lying in the Scheldt.
To cope with the wounded many
British nurses are working devOtedly
with Belgian military doctors.
Before leaving, the enemy pitched
many machine guns into the Scheldt.
Evidence of German soldiers weari-
ness of war is to be seen and heard
on every hand. The water supply, tele-
phones and trans are not yet working
IN Antwerp, but a slight improvement
has been made and the police force is
being recognized.
In northeast Belgium the Germans
have levied war taxes and obtained
huge supplies Of provisions from the
people.

BRITAIN PROHIBITS
SUGAR IMPORTATION
Would Prevent German
and Austrian Product
Reaching Country.

London, Oct. 2S.-An official state
ment issuer this evening says the gov
eminent mas prohibited the importa-
ton of sugar into the United Kingdom
with the object of preventing German
and Austrian sugar reaching here from
neutral countries.
Explaining the decision of the gov
eminent, the official news bureau says;
Measures already have been taken
to prevent the importation into Ger
many and Austria Of goods necessary
to the conduct of war, but when neutral
countries have the opportunity of max
ing great profits on the enhanced prices
which Germany and Austria are willing
to pay it is impossible to put stop
to all importations.
AT the present time there are few
exports of great value which can be
sent out in exchange for goods which
Germany receives from neutral coun-
tries. OF these sugar is the chief. Al
ready exchanges are rising against
Germany and Austria, and II the eX-
portation of sugar could be prevented
or rendered Improbable a further serl-
Gus blow would be struck to their
trade.
German and Austrian sugar may
not be imported here under its trde
colors. but if it is first exported to
neutral country and then re-eXported
from the neutral country TO Great Brit
ain il passes as innocent. Already ad-
vices have been received that bids Tor
German sugar are beng greecliy
sought in neutral countries. Even II
this sugar did not come into this coun-
try, though there is reason to believe
that the traffic has begun, 1T would set
free a corresponding amount OF sugar
in a neutral country, which might DC
shipped into the United Kingdom. The
only ultimate big market for this sugar
is the United Kingdom, and nothing
less than total prohibition of lmporta-
ton into this country will hinder the
German and Austrian expectation.
ain ordinary circumstances such pro-
hibition would be inconceivable, but
large supplies secured by the sugar
commission assure ample supplies Tor
British consumption for many months.
The price at which it has been bought
permits of retail sale without loss at
a rate below that now current-namely,
81 pence a pound for graduated
sugar-and q reduction may be ex-
pected.
an these circumstances the govern
ment has decided to prohibit for the
time being the importation of sugar,
with the object of defeating the Ger
man and Austrian efforts to turn their
stocks into money. This measure vas
not adopted earlier, as the danger did
not exist until recently the exporta-
ton of sugar from Germany and Aus
tria was prohibited. The prohibition
has been relaxed now that they hnd
Great Britain has been able to make
other provision. We have already rem
dered their prohibition useless. We
shall now deprive them of any fnan-
cial advantage from its removal"

AMERICAN LIFE
COMPANIES HIT
Will Have to Pay Money
to POlicyhOlders En-
gagged in War.

London, Oct. 23.-Oficials of The
London Offices of several American life
insurance companies said to-day that
in view of the policies held in Europe
it was probable that money would have
10 be paid to policyhoider engaged in
the present conflict. 1t is impossible
to tell how many policyholders are in
the different armies.
An official OF me Mutual Life InsuT-
ance Company of New York said to-
day that no policies would be written
by that company for any person in
tending to take part in the war. At
the Equitable company's Offices, IL was
said that the war premium would have
10 be paid IL any person seeking 10 be
insured expected to take part in the
war.
II was asserted that no premiums
were being charged policyholders iiv.
ing in England or other countries en-
gagged in war. The possibility of in
vasion or the dropping of bombs has
not put any war rate on Americans liv-
ing in England.

EMDEN RAIDS STIR
FEAR FOR INDIANS
Natives, 1t Is Thought,
May Believe Germany
Is Beating Britain
[By Cable to The Tribune. ]

Bombay delayed in transmission,
Oct. ga rumor is current to-day in
Indian seacoast towns that the German
cruiser Emden has at last been &C
counted for, but no substantial contir-
nation is obtainsbc.
Practically all the Indian newspapers
agree in demanding that something be
done to restore the security of Indian
shipping, the almost total arrangement
of which is affecting home no less than
Indian industries.
The Director of Statistics has given
the figures showing the decrease in the
Indian trade in September, and for this
the Emden's successful raids are more
accountable than the mere existence Of
n state Of war. Among the imports it
is sufficient to mention the fact that in
September alone the importation of
cotton piece goods fell off by more
than Sl0,000,000, which has been felt
chiefly by Lancashire. Calcutta Is
principally affected by fall of more
than SIS 1000 900 in a single month for
raw and manufactured jute alone.
Other fallings Off in the Indian ex-
ports for September are: Rice, $3.50
600; wheat, more than $4,000, 900; hides
and skins, chiefly affecting the Gavin
pore area. by the same amount; cotton,
raw and yarn, s75,O0OO0o, and seeds,
nearly 81 1000.
"The Times of India" repeats the de-
mand for n convoy, which, although
slower, will at least insure the safety
of those vessels undertaking the voy-
age. The same journal alludes to the
possible effect on the crude native
mind Of the Emden's successes, which
will seem to humble intelligences as an
indication of German success in the
naual war.
