Queen Mary's reply was character- istic: “I shall not allow any single sec- tion of the public to prevent me from keeping my usual engagements.” And Queen Mary kept her word. Scotland Yard had to treble its guard, but even then it could not keep her free from the militants, One afternoon Queen Mary went to a matinee at the Hippodrome, in aid of charity.

This was in July, 1914. A'few weeks later war had broken out and the militant movement ceased, for its members had become engaged in war work.

Her majesty dropped the receiver as Mary at Buckingham Palace unless he (or she) knows the Queen’s telephone signal, a letter and a word. This signal is known to only a few members of the royal family, a few in the royal household, and a few very | intimate friends. It was obvious to Queen Mary that some one of her friends or some one in the royal household had given her tele- | phone signal to a member of the mili- tant movement. Dresser Admits Guilt. An inquiry was at once instituted to learn who the offender was. Miss Con- stance Selby, the Queen's dresser then, admitted she had given the signal to a suffragette. ‘This happened on the eve of a visit King George and Queen Mary paid the French President in Paris. Queen Mary would have found it next to impossible to go to Paris without her dresser, and cshe was compelled to overlcok Miss. Selby's act. But soon Queen Mary found that the dresser was not the only member of the royal entourage in sympathy with the militants. Lady Shaftesbury, lady-in- waiting, appeared in her majesty’s presence wearing the button of the militants. She was requested by the Queen to resign her appointment or | cease to wear the badge. Lady Shaftes- bury resigned. The Derby Incident. Then came the Derby incident, when & suffragette, Emily Davidson, dashed across the race course and into_the King's horse, which fell on her. Miss Davidson died in Epsom Hospital, and the King's jockey suffered such injuries that he was in the hospital four months ‘The situation for the King and Queen, the Queen especially, was be- coming extremely serious. The object of the militants was to revent both King and Queen from eeping their public engagements. The attention of the militants was directed particularly to Queen Mary. The argument of the militants was this: “If we can prevent Queen Mary from keeping her engagements it will put the government in a difficulty and compel them to listen to us.” Lord Oxford (then Mr. Asquith and prime minister) had an interview with Queen Mary.
