Mrs. Pankhurst announced that vol.

900. Mrs. Pankhurst said she made her
estimate on the number of Legitimate
children to be born during the first year
OF the war from figures furnished her
by Mrs. Bramwell Booth, wife of. the
Salvation Army leader.
She brought enthusiastic cheers from
the women when she denounced the pres

as most cruel and expressed the hope
that the government would soon alter
them.
Following her appeal on behalf of the
war babies, Mrs. Pankhurst launched
into severe criticism of English women
who have failed to do their part in the
