 Mrs. Pankhurst, while recuperat- ing from the excitement of riot and arrest in London made two trips to America before the war. once in 1911 and again in 1913. On the lat ter visit she was ordered deported by the immigration officials at New York, but tho government at Wash ington overruled the decision and allowed her to enter the country with the understanding that she would keep the peace and return to England upon completion of her lecture tour.

 On the outbreak of the world war, Mrs. Pankhurst and other militant suffragists joined in supporting the country. They spoke from recruit ing platforms and assisted ministers whose lives they had been making intolerable a few weeks previously.
 Suffrage was granted to women above 30 in 1918 and since that time Mrs. Pankhurst had been support CT of those urging that it be grant ed to women between the ages of T and 30 as provided in what is known as the "fa.pper vote bill.

 I These were only outstanding acts in long series which taxed both the ingenuity and the daring of the suffragettes.
 Mrs. Pankhurst approved of many of these acts and inspired some of them. But her appearance and her personal habits belied the fight ing spirit she displayed. She was slight in stature and at 50 was often described as having preserved much of her girlish beauty. Students of her temperament found nothing masculine in it. She reveled in bright cclors and hounces as much h as the average woman: she was passionately fond of music and chill dren, and was said to have made the best jam in England" She de- tended strongly the sanctity of mar riaEe
 But revolutionary blood was traced back to her grandfather who narrowly escaped being killed in franchise riots. Her father was a radical. As Emmeline Goulden she was born in Manchester.

 ! Her education in Paris as a girl brought her under further radical influences. and she became a com panion of the daughter of Henri Rochefort. an ardent republican. In 1879 she married Dr. Pank- hurst. who was a member of the first Woman Suffrage society or ganlzed in England. She shared her husbands interest in the advance ment of women. He was a promi- nent member of the English bar and was author of the married women's property act which became English law in the early eighties.

At this time. only a few weeks be- for the signing of the armistice, Mrs, Pankhurst issued this slogan: War until victory followed by a peace imposed upon the Germans and their allies which, by with 1 drawing subject populations from their control and by reducing their warlike resources will make it physi- cally impossible for the Germans to wage another war with and prospect I of success"
 l Meanwhile the house of commons i by an overwhelming majority had declared in favor of enfranchisins the women of Great Britain. The political wisdom of the woman who for years had been the object of general eXecration and ridicule had become apparent. Her calling of a truce in the fight for suffrage was cal maneuvre.
 Some reference should be made to Mrs Pankhurst's activities prior to i the war. As leader of the Women s Social and Political Union she was accused of having inspired many violent acts on the part of suffraE- cites. ranging from arson and the destruction Of art treasures down to the petty annoyance of pulling the coatalls of cabinet ministers. events that formed large part of the days news during the height of the militant activities in 1913-14. She justified some of these breaches Of peace as means. to impress upon an obstinate government womens demands for the vote.
 She repeatedly tried to die a martyr to her cause by going on the referred to hunger strike" each of the half dozen times she was thrown into English prisons. She held that only a martyrs sacrifice would con- vince the government of the earnest ness of woman's appeal. and se nearly did she sometimes come to dying that she. was regularly released under the "Cat and Mouse" act after serving only a few days of the long terms to which she was sen- tenced. It was only to renew the battle when she recovered her strength.

 Outbreak of the War
 With the outbreak of the war the attitude of Mrs. Pankhurst and her disciples immediately changed. In a declaration to the members. of the Women's Social and Political Union, she admoplshed them to cease their activities as militant suffragettes and bend all energies toward helping the allies to win the war"
 Shortly after she helped to mobil- ize the woman power of the British Isles and organized what was known as the Women's Party, the function ing Of which soon won the admira- ton Of Lloyd George government. Hundreds of thousands 2 British. Scotch, Welsh and Irish women went upon the farms and into the mills and factories to help raise food and make munitions of war. thus releas- 1 ing vast army of men 10 fight for the allies.
 Mrs. Pankhurst herself went up and down the land encoura ging women to enter these new vacations | and to increase the field and fac 1 tory outputs. She went to Russia to 1 help avert the collapse of the ker- ensky regime and to save that once great fighting force to the allies. She took several trips to the United States and Canada and on these tours inspired women workers every where. On September i, 1918. while she was Tn the United States she outlined what the Women s Party had accomplished since 1914 ny saying

By the Assoclats1 Press.
 Mrs. Emmeline, Pankhuret. Eng llsh suffrage leader, author and lec- turer-whose "militancy" helped win the voting franchise for 6,0ooooo women of Great Brltain-was in the period of her greatest activity one of the most widely known political reformers tn the world.
 On the eve of what appeared to be the triumph of the suffrage cause in England, which she had led for more than . decade as the head of the Women's Social and Political Union, founded in 1903. the great war broke out. Up to this time the followers of Mrs. Pankhurst had been widely characterized as hecklers of states mon. window smashers and fire brands. Mrs. Pankhurst and many of her aides. including her two daughters, Christabel and Sylvia, suffered nearly every form of obloquy and hardship for the cause. They had frequently been sent to prison and in some instances had gone on hunger strikes" hoping by this means of self-imposed starvation

$4,000 ROBBERY
OF STORE PROBED
Signs of "Inside lob" Seen
at w. B. Moses & Sons.
Watchman Bound.

With indications that the robbery
of the w. B. Moses & Sons department
store, discovered late yesterday, may
have been an "inside job" and con-
fronted with seeming discrepancies in
accounts of the affair, headquarters
detectives today again were questioning
the two store watchmen, one of whom
told of being overpowered by three
burglars, and Policeman W. r. Ellery
of the first precinct, whose investiga-
ton disclosed the robbery.
Meanwhile, after a preliminary sur
vey of their accounts, store officials
announced that the total loss probably
would not exceed $4,000. part of which
was In the form Of unindorsed checks.
The loss is covered by insurance.
Radford Moses, one of the owners
of the establishment, today expressed
the opinion that some one thoroughly
familiar with the stores method of
operation was involved in the robbery.
In support of this conclusion he point
ed out that the store at Eleventh
and F streets apparently was entered
with duplicate key and that the
robbers, after overpowering the day
watcRman, went directly to the safe
room and opened the two safes con-
tanning Saturday afternoons receipts
Three other safes in the room, which
contained nothing convertible into cash,
were not moleSted.

While the Zeppelin was passing over
the city telephone exchanges through
out the city were so deluged with calls
that the service was paralyZed for few
minutes. No word had gone out that
the Zeppelin was coming over except
through the Navy Department and to
newspapers and press associations, and
the flood of calls of persons to neigh
bors and friends telling of the big ships
arrival came unheralded upon the tele-
phone exchanges.
First information that the Zeppelin
would pass over Washington came from
the Coast Guard station at Hog Island,
Va, which at 1922 reported that the
ship had changed her course and was
apparently heading for Washington.
The Navy Department received Its
first word from the huge airShip after
it reached American soil shortly before
noon, when Lieut.. .Comdr. Rosendahl
notified the department that the ship
would reach Washington shortly after
