Musicians Militant.

The British women have again taken up the cudgels for suffrage, only this time in musical fields. For one thing, they refuse to submit any longer to being barred, both as players and conductors, from all symphonic activities. And so, applying the lesson learned from political victories, they have begun to fight prejudice with action, as being more potent than logic. The situation is indeed even more absurd, if possible, there than here. Not only have women in England as in America long had recognition as instrumental virtuosi, but there they have, in addition, a very definite record as symphonic players, besides the indorsement, as such, of England's most distinguished conductor, Sir Henry Woods.
