Activity Of Russian Women.

AS Russia was the first country
where women were given control over
their inherited property, and as Petro-
grad has had for some years the larg-
est medical college for women In Eu-
rope, 1t is not strange that women
have taken such an, active part In the
military campaigns. In all the revolu-
tionary movements the women stu
dents have been made dangerous per-
haps, to the government, than the
men. 1t is believed that the majority
of the women amazons are evolution

was sought for the opportunity 1t gave
them to spread their doctrine.
