sUBATOFF

With the career Of Besobrasof must
be coupled that Of another former min
lister, Subatoff until lately imperial
state secretary OF police, who, although
he has had no direct hand In causing
the war, is responsible for state Of
affairs that seems likely to crown the
horrors Of war with revolutionary
outbreak. Like his fellow minister,
SubatOff climbed from the bottom to
the top, and has tumbled to the bot
tom again. The careers OF both men
are more significant Of the present con-
ditlon OF affairs in Russia than whole
columns Of figures concerning her army
and navy would be.
NJ Subatoff Is the son OF village
priest OF orthodox Greek confession He
was sent by his parents ~ study ~ the
University Of ST. Petersburg, where,
like so many young Russians, he quick
ly became lmbued with socialist and
revolutionary opinions. He neglected
his studies to devote himself 10 secret
socialist propaganda, and during his
vacations made walking tours through
remote districts, stirring up discomfort
against the existing order OF things In
Russia, He learned to know when and
where the secret sedltious meetings
were held, became acquainted with all
the methods OF secret organization and
the means adopted by the students in

BY heart the confidential code employ

from one center 10 another.
Young suhntoff had no Interior mo-
tive In acquiring all this knowledge
for his belief In revolutionary socialism
was genuine, and he was prepared to
sacrifice himself for the great cause Of
liberty. His neglect Of his academic
studies prevented him from being grad
uated, and thus cut him of from many
careers open only TO those possessing
the university degree Of doctor Of phIlo-
sophy, or law, or science.

not been q conspicuous figure around

member Of the committee that is y more

the head of the committee during the

do more active work than any other

Women and Education.

One Of the most scientific argu-
ments against the higher cduca'
tiOn of women was advanced by
DR.. A. L. Smith, before the Ameri-
can Academy of Medicine, at At
lantic City recently. The point of
his argument is as follows:
Higher education for women is
unwlse and unjustiiable, because
il makes the duties and privileges
ofmotherhood distasteful, disgust
ing and physically impossible.
SIS the health Of American girls,
the future mothers of the race, as
good as that of their mothers and
their grandmothers9 2 That it Is
not is beyond all question.
"For this condition we must
blame the over.educatiOn of wO.
men in these times. The blood
that is necessary to women's many
natural functions is diverted to
the brain, gorging that, while the
other parts of the sensitive body
wither into disease.
"lf children do como TO these
highly educated women, they are
usually a few in number and physi.
caIly or mentally deficient. The
phosphates that should be in their
little bodies have been stolen to
tit out the brains of their mothers
at is not merely right that wo'
men should be married and should
have many children; it is abso'
lutely essential to their bealth and
| their life. Nature has its certain
and terrible penalties for both
men and women who dodge and
shirk these duties. Their breed
: is in turn tortured, enteebled, eX.
terminated.
81 would have girls taught the
elements in the same manner and
to the same degree AZ boys, but !
would cut out algebra, astronomy
and all the higher subjects. In
their stead ! would substitute
outdoor sports, cooking, sewing,
care of the child, instruction in all
that pertains to the marriage rela
tion.
"lfthe breed that now dominates
this continent Is to live it must
begin, and that soon, the sensible
/ practical training Of its girls. II
the starvation and modification
of the flesh for the exaltation OF
/ the spirit shall continue, the
/ righteous sentence of death will be
ineXorably executed and more
sensible, more vigorous breed
will rise by virtue Of its sancr
stronger womanhood,n
