women's organization. Her East End

has been a branch of the parent or

The rift among the militant suffrag
ists is Eaid to be due to Miss Sylvia
Pankhurst's ultra-revolutionary as
pirations, which the leaders xt the
Women's" Social and Political union
are beginning to believe are damag
ing their cause.
Reports of dissensions in the inner
circles of the militant organization
involving the Pankhurst triumvirate
have been in circulation for some
time. According to these, Christabel
Pankhurst is anxious to end her long
exile in Paris and return to London
and take control of the organization,
for it is doubtful if her mother, Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, who still is in
Switzerland, will be well enough for
some months to resume her duties as i
commander in chief. t
