I uUT PERILS OF DUCHESS IS MOTHER OF AN EUGENIC HEIR THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Pathfinder Greeted In Watermelon Belt 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.

Athletes Blessed by Pope After Rioting Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. Home, Sept. 11.—A near riot oc curred here over the parade in con nection with the Catholic Athletic Congress. The athletes, after hear ing mass at the Church of St. John, proceeded in irregular formation to St. Peters. The anti-clericals tried to interfere and a fight followed. Afterward the Pope blessed the athletes from the Vatican windows. 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 KODAK ALBUMS Don’t lose your Kodak pictures.

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 be.. Lord a.nd Lady Decies Expecting the Stork. 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.
