Liverpool, April 24.-(By mail to

iastic and most successful recruiting
agents in all England is the frail lit
tie woman who with her band of mill.
tant followers only year ago was
conducting d veritable reign Of terror.
Almost nightly Mrs Emmeline Pank-
hurst addresses great crowds Of men
and women in one or another of the
big industrial cities, and officers say
that her efforts are bringing hundreds
of volunteers daily into Kitcheners
army.
This is the way she put it to her
audience last night:
"If you are able to fight, and you
are of the right age, it is clearly your
duty to come to the help Of your coun-
try. How terrible it will seem to you
later when you think of what you have
let other men do for you.
ITO employers of labor would say:
If you are feeling that you cannot
spare the young men because your
business has to go on, it is your duty
to consider seriously whether they
may not be replaced by intelligent wo-
men. You must understand that be-
fore we are women, we are human be-
ings; we have got brains, you know.
In engineering work mechanism has
now been brought to such perfection
that the workmen in many cases had
