DUCHESS OF ROXBURGH K,
Policy Has Damagd Sueffrage
Cause in England—Ho Excuse
For It in United States.
By DR. CHARLES AKED.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL., Sept. 11.
Dispatch** from Xe'W York a**ert
that Mrs Pankhurat ha* planned a
visit to America, and that armnae-
m*nts are already made for meeting*
to be addressed by hver In the jcreat
cities of the East and Middle Went.
It Is asserted, perhaps with little
knowledge and leas jUid^ment, that
Mrs. Pankhurst’* vlalt will be pro
ductive of wide results In the adop
tion of a policy of “militancy” by
American women.
Tt is to he hoped that these fore
casts are wron*. “Militancy," as now
understood and practiced, h#" done I
untold harm In England: has^hocked j
and gri » r ed the best triends of woman
suffrage among men. and ha* done
apparently irreparable damage to
women themselves.
No Chance In America.
Nothing in the world can Justify
the action of the Pajikhurat family
«nd their follower*. But they have
been driven into their Irrationality of
crime by the more reoaonless Irra
tionality and more criminal acts of
the Asquith cabinet. In Amerira, be
tween the Pacific and the Atlantic,
there is not the shadow of a pre
tense that women are driven or are
likely to be driven out of the path of
orderly, uane and healthy methods
of advocating a noWe cause.
I admired Mrs. Pankhurst and I
liked her daughter, Christabel. I have
opened my chuch to them In Liver
pool. I have preach^! sermons and
made speeches in defense of their
militant methods.
Women Driven to Crime.
1 mention thtfse things for the pur
pose of showing that mine is a sym
pathetic protect and not a hostile on*-
They have been driven Into irra
tionality and they have been driven
Into crime. And the guilt of the men
who have so driven them is wors<-
than their*.
The late Prime Minister of Great
Britain. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner
man. told them to pester the Govern
ment. eH told them that hi* cabinet
was divided, and he advised them
to make themselves an irritant to
politicians. They did. and they were
treated with a brutality which passes
all belief. This phase of the story
has not been understood in America.
q Started by "Heckling.”
It i* the custom In England to
ask questions in political meetings.
The process is known as “heckling.”
After Campbell-Bannerman’s advice,
the women began to attend public
meetings, and they asked queutlon*.
Their interruptions angered men;
they were thrown out of the meet
ings with violence; they were mauled
by blackguards.
They continued to go to meetings
and to interrupt. The violence grew.
Filthy scoundrels offered themselves
as “stewards,” for the opportunity it
gave them of committing iftdecent as
saults upon women and girls in the
act of carrying them and bundling
i hem out of meetings
Pastor Condemns Violence.
The women were prosecuted, not
the men. They wore charged with all
sorts of fancy offenses, such as as
saulting policemen, etc. Had they
paid the small fines imposed the world
would have heard no more of it. But
they refused to pay the fines, and
they went to jail. Here they were
treated as the worst of criminals are
treated.
Women of refinement, university
women, girl* among the sweetest and
most engaging of thoir sex. were
forced to atrip, stand in a line of
women as nude as themselves, street
uatkera. pickpockets, thieves and
criminals of every kind, waiting for
their bath, and go Into the same bath
tub and the same water as these
women had been in.
Bring Reforms in Prison.
The prison system ha® been changed
since then, but it has been changed
because of the suffragettes, end
through the agitation of these women.
Then they resorted to violence. Here
I pert company from them.
‘‘Militancy" in England first meant
a policy of “pestering," recommended
by Sir eHnry Campbell-Bannerman
when the ftrst^ninister of the British
crown. It involved suffering. And
I defended the women. But is there
need in America for even such “mili
tancy” as that?
“Militancy” in England now means
arson, train v -eoking and murderous
assaults. If it is suggested that the
women of America should adopt it
as policy, 1 say that nothing can ex
cuse the irrationality of the sugges
tion and nothing can failiate its
crime.

Afterward the Pope blessed the

m
Birth of Roxlmrghes’ S<
Whose Theories
>11 Triumph for Kxpert
Were Followed.
LONDON. Sept. II. Advocates of
eugenics here regard with pride the
birth of a fine boy to the Duke and
Duchess of Roxburghe as a notable
example of rtie efficiency of putting
Into practice their principles and the
ories. The event is also a triutnph
for Dr. Leopold Schenk, of the Uni
versity of Vienna, who is a world-
famous authority on embryology.
Four year* ago the Duches, desiring a
male heir to the Dukedom, consulted
Dr. Schenk, He bade her avoid all
food containing sugar, and staked
his reputation on his prediction that
the child would be a boy.
In view of the stork’s arrival the
Duchess has been leading a life under
almost ideal conditions for childbirth.
For some year* no members of the
aristocracy have led more sane and
healthy lives than the Duke and
Duchess. He is of athletic tastes,
plays not only a dashing game of polo
but excel* in most field sports, notably
a* a keen fisherman, first-rate shot
and an ardent hunter. The Duchess
is also a keen fisher, and has caught
many salmon in the Tweed. One of
her favorite hobbies is the cultivation
of carnatloifs.
Surroundings Ideal.
This love of open air unquestionably
influenced them in the choice of Tem
pleton House. Roehampton. as a resi
dence suitable for the Duchess during
the two months preceding the stork’s
anticipated visit, for there they had
every natural advantage.
Eugenlcally the house and its sur
roundings were above criticism.
Standing in it* own ground*, within
an easy motor run of their London
residence, Templeton House . lies
amid sweet-smelling pines, beyond
which on one side lies the well-kept
garden leading to an expanse of
meadow' land; on the other side
stretches for soevral mile* the wood
land and pasture of Rlehjnond Park,
where every morning the Duke rode,
while In the afternoon the Duchess
drove in a slow-moving pair-horse

For the present the infant will

The Duchess is the former Miss
May Goelet, daughter of the late Og
den Goelet. from whom ?«ne inherited
$10,000,000. She was married to the
Duke in 1908.
An old legend dating from 1707 Is
made void by the birth of a son to
the Duchess. A curse was laid on
the family 300* years ago by* a gypsy,
whose child was killed by the first
Duke, and a series of misadventures
gave color to the prophecy, which ran
as follows:
I»ng as ye heir shall pick hi* bride
From Britain's soil the line shall bide;
When he weds a woman from o’er the
sea
The house of Roxburghe shall cease to

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Sept. 11. The stork
which brought a son to the Rox-
burghes at their Scottish castle early
this week has flown much farther
south and is sitting on the chimney
top at Sefton Park. Buckinghamshire,
the home of Lord and Lady Decies.
The big white bird expects to fly in
at the window with a small but pre
cious package toward the end of th.s
month, and Sefton Park is in a state
of great anticipation all the way froirt
Lord Decies himself down to the gar
deners.
WASHINGTON. Sept. Jl.~Senator
George K. Chamberlain, of Oregon,
I chairman of the Senate Uommlttee on
Military Affairs, has pome out flat-
footedly in favor of placing the army
on a better war footing than Is the
case at present.
“As long.” says Senator Chamber-
lain, “as we maintain the Monroe
Doctrine, retain the Philippines, con
trol the Panama (’anal, and dominate
the Pacific, which i* our manifest
destiny, we must have an army ade
quate to care for these conditions
and meet emergencies.
Trained Reserve Hi* Plan.
‘‘No one advooates a large standing
army in this country, but we ought
to have a* a military organization an
army of efficient officers and drilled
men which can be augmented by
j trained men from a reserve and sup
plemented by the National Guard of
the States
“There /s been a great deal of
general discussion as to the neces
sity of better preparation for sudden
war emergencies, and there seems to
be quite a unanimous opinion that
at the present time our army is
wholly Inadequate ow ing to the meth
od* that have been employed. I am
heartily in favor of such changes and
Improvements In the army as will
meet existing conditions.
Should Not Fear Japs.
“We ought not to leave ourselves
tn an attitude where we fear the
possibility of invasion by Japan on
the Pacific coast or by any other for
eign country on our Atlantic coast,
nor in apprehension ns to what might
happen to our troops In case of inter
vention in Mexico because the army
is .inadequate for *mergencies.
“The present session of Congress
if s been occupied with matter* whicn
! aw taken all the time, so that little
attention lias been given to question.

situation In Mexico has brought home
to us the unprepared state of this
nation to fare a sudden war

"if there should not be a peaceful
termination of the Mexican trouble

shifts would have to be adopted. a. fc
| has been the case at the beginning of
' every other war in this country, all
J of which have been disastrous and
expensive on account of their experi
mental character.
“At the regular session of Congress
the subject of increasing military ef
fleiency must be considered. Tin
Secretary of War has taken a pro
nounced position on the subject, and
we will aw'ait his definite recommen
dation* with a great deal of interest
“1 am not prepared now to say
what should be done, the plans and
details must be worked out by mer
of experience and judgment, but *1
is plainly apparent that improve
ment* must be made and the army
put in condition to meet the require
ments of the nation.
“In my opinion the National Guard
should be very much strengthened
and Improved. A great many more
regular army Officers should be de
tailed to give the officers instruction
and secure better drill and discipline
for the men. It would also be well
to have a more strict medical exami

tional Guard. »o that a larger per
centage of trained men could go to
