some OF the things Miss Pankhurst said

She was interrupted repeatedly in her TWO

Miss pan6hurst seemed rather to relish
these outbursts aud the opportunity TO
say Just what she and other English
women think about the war. To one

seemed decidedly In the minority.

dismissed by Miss Pankhurst with the
statement that English women would BE-

face OF the enemy by agitation.
