"Germanization" Means Blow
to Civilization Setback to
Feminine Movement.
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
CIpyrlsrht, 1015. by tho UnltPd Proas.
CoPKlghted In Great Britain.
LONDON, March 15.
A world conquest by Imperial Germany
and a "Germanization" of women would
deal a heavy blow at civilization, Mrs.
Emmellno Pnnkhurst, English mllltnnt
suffragctto leader, declared In nn Inter
view today.
Mrs. Pankhurst was discussing with rue
tho appeal of President Runelman, of the
Board of Trade, for organization of Eng
lish women to aid in tho war. The mili
tants, she said welcomed tho chanco to
show that women may be made an Im
portant asset.
"It would bo a terrible disaster If the
Germans conquered tho world," she said.
"The Germans, I must admit, take good
care of their women. But they regard
them as I don't liko to use the word
breeders. They consider them solely as
a means of maintaining the race. On the
other hand a conquest of Germany by
the Allies will mean not only the libera
tion of civilization, but the liberation of
German men and women from German
idsaa."
There Is no necessity, nor will there
be any, for English women actually to
take up arms, Mrs. Pankhurst said with
a smile, but It is the duty of English
women to perform the normal work of
the nation while the men are at the
front, if they are needed.
"The suffragettes alway-B have wanted
tho Government to regard English women
as a reserve force," she said. "For cen
turies t'ne vast Intelligence and capabil
ity of women have been a waste product,
but this war has demonstrated that
women may be made an asset.
"Two-thlrds of the men In the new
Kitchener army are married. British
women who have control oyer men are
Insisting that they Join the British forces.
It's the bachelors who are holding back.
They lack the woman's Influence.
"We suffragettes love our country Just
as all the women of England do. We
could have gone to America, where
women are getting the vote, or to some
English colony, but we remain In Eng.
land because of our love for the country.
"We feel that a German victory would
set back the feminine movement Indefi
nitely, and ws know that the women of
England can be converted into a tre
mendous asset in assisting the Allies'
cause."

SUNDAY FIRES HOT
SHOT AT HYPOCRITES
"You Might Give Your Heart to
God and Make One Less,"
Says "Billy."
Another monster audience filled the
tabernacle this afternoon to hear "nilly"
Sunday preach one of tho few sermons
ho is to deliver before the close of
the campaign. Many of those present
had never heard "Billy" preach. Many
have tried In vain to hear him previ
ously, but could never manage to get
Inside the big wooden temple. So they
arrived early today to make certain that
they would not be among those who will
have to admit, after the next two days,
that they had not heard the whirlwind
preacher or watched him battle with the
devil.
The sermon this afternoon was on
"Thou Shalt Bo Missed,' and It was one
of the strongest salvation sermons that
the evangelist has preached here. Sunday
pictured the golden street of the Eternal
City and pointed to the vacant, mansions
that will ba empty btcauie men and
women fall to heed his advice and fol
low Christ.
"You take the loved ones out of you:
home," he said, "and it will be like a
sepulchre, regardless of your fine rugs,
tapestries, bric-a-brac and finery. I could
take 'Nell' and the children and live In
a hut and be happy. But take them away
from me and I would cry myself to death.
And It'll be a ead thing to walk around
and see 'for rent'- signs In heaven. The
places God planned for many men and
women will be empty, Some men are too
busy making money to assure themselves
of an eternal home In heaven. All these
people are disappointing God, and the
worst disappointment In the world Is to
disappoint God."
"Billy" again urged followers of Christ
to make their lives shining examples for

TRAINER THREATS ARE
MAYORALTY SIGNALS
Councilman's Sudden Flare-up
Believed to Be Invitation to
"Get in Line."
Select Councilman Harry J. Trainer's
threats to expose the "Influence Inside
and outside of Councils which Juggled
legislation" are coming to be regarded In
political circles as it hint to McNIchol
Councllmen to stand In line for the next
Mayoralty election. This developed to
day In reports circulated la Organization
circles about City Hall.
Trainer, who is a Vare leader In the
3d Ward, denounced In Select Council
yesterday a change made in the text of
an ordinance to appropriate money for
Improving the water supply system, whlo,
he said, had been made secretly and
without consulting him, "by an employs
acting under pressure from the Organ
ization's inner circle."
Trainer's unexpected flare-up In Coun
cils Is looked upon as the formal notice
to McNIchol men to stand in line If they
want the Vares' support in South Phila
delphia for a mayoralty candidate, The
ordinance In which the alleged change
was made waa a McNIchol bill provid
ing for the release of money for tho con
struction of water supply Improvements
In West and South Philadelphia and also
for a sedimentation basin at the Torres
dale filtration plant, Trainer says. Soma
one deleted with a pen the words relat
ing to the sedimentation basin, and It
was this that Trainer objected to.
Trainer's charges, made with some
show of Indignation, were regarded a
"unfortunate and embarrassing" by some
of the members of the Organization's In
ner circles. The outburst was especial
ly deplored because the ordinance against
which Trainer complained was Intro
duced unnecessarily as a trick play In
the first place. Even If passed, it will
carry no weight, and la of value only
in increasing the printing bills of
Councils.

But she found that one of the abductors

Behind the 'attempted kidnapping of
Miss Merceara Is a story of lovo which
began In Italy. There Bho met Fnsconl
and later, on coming to this country,
they met again. Their love wns levlvod
Immediately by memories of other days.
Dut while Pasconi was courting tho girl,
enemies, aroused by Jealousy, tried to
spoil their happiness,
They told her thnt Fnsconl had a wlfo
living in Italy. Although ho denied tho
charge, tho Btorles continued mid the girl
was worried. Finally so much pressure
wns brought to bear by relnthes who
heard these tnlcs that the faith of tho
Italian girl was shaken nnd she told Fas
conl on Saturday that sho could not
marry him.
Shortly after reaching this decision,
sho wandered out to the street and
somehow n her sorrow tho appearance
of tho dingy stone walls nppealed to her.
And bo whllo sho wns standing there the
threo apparent strangers happened nlong
In tho auto nnd whisked her off.
She was taken to tho home of rela
tives In Chester and finally escaped to
this city. Sho Is In bed today, nnd brIi!
she knew that Fnsconl was ono of her
kidnapers.
"I will marry him as Boon nn he comes
to me," she said, "for ho Is a brave man.
I feel suruo that tho stories that he has
a wlfo In Italy nro all lies.
tTheio Is nothing bad about kidnapping
for lovo In my native land. When a man
loves a woman, he loves. her with nil
the ardor of his heart and soul. He
cares not for the law or pollco. All ho
knows is that he loves her he loves
her."
Aa tho girl Bnnk back on her bed
die murmured "and that's how I love
Fasconl."
She closed her eyes for a minute. Then
she said:
"If ho will only come to me I will
marry htm. I hope thnt he hears what
I say and I know ho will."
