HONGTONG, JUNE 13TH, 1914.-

ME. ASQUITH'S Government is a long time making up its mind as to how to deal with the Suffragette organisation which is re- sponsible for the many disgraceful outrages that have been committed in Great Britain during the last few years, but the latest abominable outrage in the historic Abbey of Westminster should promptly lend to more drastic measures than have been adopted heretofore. How the burning of churches, the desocrtion of graveyards, the destruction of national treasures, to say nothing of the burning of private residences, the smushing of shop win- dows; and rudeness to Ministers of the State and even to the KING himself can be considered to advance the cause of Woman Suffrage we are at a loss to under- stand. The behaviour of these hysterical women shocks the public conscience and their claims are discredited by the very madness of the means they resort to in order to attain them. We can scarcely affect surprise when the leading organ of British public opinion demands more drastic measures for
