the Romanoff yoke no longer. Ever
since Red Sunday in 1905, when hum

Alexander Guckoff, the Minister of

He was President of the first Duma
and despite his wealth and large
estates he is looked upon by the peas

of the men who labor on his great
estates has won the friendship of the
masses. He is great believer in the
education of the masses and had
schools established on his estates, for
the children of his employees. His

scientific light in the university.
One of the first things Prof. Manui-
loft will do is to establish free schools
|everywhere and make the attendance
compulsory and thus open up new
era among the peasants. He is
friend of Prof. Paul Milukoff. who
was associated with him at the Uni
versity in Moscow and the two have
agreed to work together in the edu-
eating of the new Russia.
Milukoff.
Professor Milukoff is the new Min
lister of Foreign Affairs and this fact
makes him especially interesting at
present. The pro-German influence at
the Russian Court has been wiped out
and the Duma has declared that the
fight now will be for Russia and Rus
STA alone.
Dr. Milukoff has an interesting per-
sonality. He is an orator of no mean
ability, a fearless advocate of freedom
and a powerful writer. His liberalism
while member of the faculty of the
University of Moscow led to his ban
ishment to Siberia. After permission
had been given him to return to Mos
cow he continued his zeal as a liberal
list and was banished from the coun-
try altogether. He came to America
and became a professor at the Uni
versity of Chicago. His stay in this
country only deepened and broadened
his belief in democracy and when he
was again permitted to return to his
native land he became the editor of
the Reich" one of the liberal jour-
nails of Russia. He was one of the
leaders of the Constitutional Demo-
cratic party in the first Duma.
In 1893 he was called by the young
Principally of Bulgaria to organize
the State College at Sofia along uni
versity lines. While there he made a
study of the Balkan question and is
today a foremost authority en- Balkan
affairs. He is also an authority on in
ternational law and his lectures on
this as well as on the Russian situa-
ton while he was at the Chicago Uni
versity were widely read. He is a
forceful speaker and has a wide
knowledge Of European history and
politics, which makes his lectures I'M
usually interesting and his audience
follows every word. He has had to
match his wits against the late
Premier Stolypin and has had to bar
