Vesterday the House of Com mons declared atrongly for them with al most no opposition and we oxpect the Eng lish attitude to Inlliience strongly tho Amer ican attitude. It cannot be made too plain that tho pickets represent but a negligible fraction of tho great suffrage body through. out the country who are working with patriotic fervor and Intensity in this criti cal time and whose last thought Is to throw embarrassment In tho way of President Wilson nnd tho Administration " DOCTOR SHAW INDIGNANT Doctor Shaw, i iffrago lender, who was chosen by Prosldor t Wilson to head the woman's hoard of Cio National Council of Defense, was Indignant at the performance! of tho two pickets. "I cannot understand.' she said, "how' any suffragists can carry on such a line of agitation, which Is so obviously injurious to tho suffrage cause.
