MRS DRUMMOND'S ILLNESS.

AN OPERATION NECESSARY,

PUBLICATION OF THE "SUFFRA-

GETTE."

London, May 13

Tho doctor stated that an operation is necessary on Mrs Drummond, who was recently removed from the Court in an unconscious condition. At the doctor's request, the address of the nursing home to which Mrs Drummond was taken has been withheld, owing to a fear of the public boycotting it. Mrs Drummond's bail has been ■ extended to two months.

Mrs Strange, giving evidence in the case against Clayton and others, stated that after the destruction of her Kew and other tea rooms, she appealed to Miss Kerr, one of the defendants, to discontihue the outrages. The latter refused to promise.

A medal maker stated in evidence that ho was supplying the Women! s Social and Political Union with medals and brooches inscribed, "For valour ; fed by force during hunger strike." Some of the medals cost £1.

"Votes for women" was scratched on drapers' windows at Norwich. They cost £500 to replace.

The Labour Press Agency states that though Mr Ramsay MacDoJiald does not favour militancy he will print tho "Suffragette," because the Government will shrink from dealing with prominent opponents. If he is arrested Mr Keir Hardie will replace him, and so on, until either the Government is wearied or the supply of martyrs has run out.
