MISS ADELA PANKHURST. MILITANCY NOT RUINOUS. [By Electric Telegraph—uopyright] [Unitjep Phesb Association, j (Received 9.15 a.m.) Sydney, July S. Miss Adela Pankhurst has arrived. Interviewed, Miss Pankhurst said: "Militancy is not ruining the cause. There is no use trying to convert people by other means. The whole Cabinet favors the vote with the exception of Mr Asquith and Mr Harcourt, simply for party reasons. They fear that women will constitute an unreckoned force at the elections. It keeps them from giving us the vote. There is nothing for us to do but to continue the present means until they get tired of seeing law and order upset. Then they will give us the vote,"
