(By Electric 'Telegraph.—Copyright.. (United Press Association.) London, October 17. Mr and Mrs. Pethick Lawrence have quitted the Women’s Social and Political Union, owing to differences over policy. They will continue to co-op-erate in the general cause. They agreed with Mrs. and Miss Pankhnrst on tho new militant policy for obtaining votes for women. The Panknursls will publish ‘'The Suffragette’ under the editorship of Miss Christabel Pankhnrst. The Labour Party declined tho request of adherents of the women’s suffrage movement to vote against tho Franchise Bill, and decided to press women’s suffrage. A IRS. PA N KII DUST’S PO LI CY. London, October 18. At the Women’s Political Union demonstration in Albert Hall three hundred women who had suffered imprisonment, attired in white, occupied the platform.

Miss Christabel Pankhnrst, in ‘The Suffragette,’ declares war on the ■Labour Party, and states that every candidate will bo opposed at the next election. (With Apologies to Rudyard Kipling) When the last plate glass has been broken, and the last loose stone has boon shied, And our staunchest antagonist vanquished, and all votes to an apron string tied, Wo shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it—sit down for a minute or two Until we can gather our senses, and find something startling to do. And those who were clubbed shall be happy; tney shall sit in a golden , chair, And tell to their loss favoured sisters how tiioy fought the policemen for fair, They shall talk of their deeds of valour and record them in history’s took, While the dethroned lords of creation are trying to learn how to cook. —Mary Dana, in ‘Judge.’
