The espionage e/en extends to the infant daughter .of Mr Churchill. Tho suffragette* aro known to harbou-,a design to seize Miss Diana Churchill, and hold her as a hostage for the good behaviour of her hot-headed futher. Consequently a
detective has been told off to follow discreetly in the rear of the nurses as they take Diana in her perambulator through the November gloom in the street- of Pimlico. Four plain-clot ties officers in a hired taxi escort Mr Churchill to his speaking places in tho city, and others who have "accompanied him in train journeys have drawn at least one prize—a young man who attacked tho* Home Secretary with a dog whip in the Bradford-London express.
