Universities to Open.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 14-At a
great ''skhodka" or meeting held today
and attended by thousands of students it
was resolved to reopen the universities and
begin actual academic work, thus putting
an end to the paralysis in the educational
system of Russia which has existed for the
last two years.
The meeting was marked by the same
fervent oratory that char acterized the pre-
vious student assemblies, held February 21
and September 26, 1905. The resolution,
which was adopted by 1,2I1 votes to 1913, is
as follows
I'm view of the fact that attitude Of
passive protest is incompatible with high
position in revolutionary activity and the
great role that the universities hitherto
have played in the combat for liberty, the
students of St. Petersburg find 1t necessary
to mobilize the youth of the land in the cap
ital and other urban centers, and, there
fore, decide that the universities shall be
re-opened."

labor and the loss of civil rights. The fall
recruiting season has begun, and reports
already have been received of several at
tempted attacks upon local military bu-
reaus for the purpose of destroying re-
cruiting lists.
