Learned Boston Boy
Demands His Rights
SAN JUST, Dec. 20.—JUa.trice Todd,
aged T, who hails from Boston,
stepped confidently into Police f’ourt
with a request that Judge T. K.
Dougherty issue a warrant for ‘ho
arrest of an 8-year-old girl who ' lives
tight across the street from me.”
“She absolutely refuses me permis
sion to perambulate on the sidewalk
abutting on her father's premises,”
said Maurice, “although she allows all
the other young fellows to take their
recreation there. I can not account
for this discrimination against me.”
Judge Dougherty referred the little
chap to Chief of Police l-'rank Ross.
“I believe I know what you mean.”
the officer stated, “and I'm with you.
You go back and tell that girl that
she mustn't interfere with the bights
of an American citizen or there will
be armed intervention.”

Aged Mine. Breshkovskaya, a Fa
mous Revolutionist, Is Recap
tured After Long Journey.
Special Cable to The American.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 20.—New.*
lias reached St. Petersburg of a coura
geous attempt by old Ekaternia
Breshkovskaya, the "Grandmother of
the Russian Revolution,” to escape
from Siberia, whither she was exiled
for life three years ago, after the
memorable trial in which she stood
in the dock with Nicholas Tchaikov
sky.
Since then she has been quartered
in a convent colony for “politicals”
at Kirensk, in the Province of Irkutsk.
On December 1 she visited, under po
lice escort, the hut of a political
named Vladimiroff Six other exiles
were present, and they all stayed till
evening.
Friend Aids Escape.
When it became quite dark an
other political, M. Andreyeff, dressed
in AI me. Breshkovskaya's clothes,
emerged from the hut, leaning heav
ily on a friend's arm. and droveJ>ack
to Alme. Breshkovskaya’s abode, de
claring in a feeble voice to the guards
that she was not feeling well and
would rest in bed.
Andreyeff played the part very suc
cessfully for three days. Then Mme.
Breshkovskaya’s absence was discov
ered. A hue and cry was raised and.
although friends cut the telegraph
wires, the police on Saturday last
succeeded in stopping a peasant cart,
which was conveying Mme. Bresh
kovskaya and another “political,” a
man, to Yakutsk on the River Lena.
Mme. Breshkovskaya was wearing M.
Andreye’s clothes, and had a pass
port and 200 rubles in money.

The valiant old woman, who was
past 70 when sentenced, had stood
five days and nights of exposure in
the bleakest frozen waste of the world
without heaviness of heart or dam
age to her health. She was taken
back to Karensk and all six politicals
who bad aided in her escape were
placed under arrest.

Opposition to Militarism Increases
Steadily—Men of Arms Talk
of Provoking Hostilities.
I Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Dec. 20. No one doubts
I the Kaiser is as sincere a lover of
peace as any monarch in Europe and
everybody here is convinced that he
has no higher wish than that he may
be permitted to end his reign without
tlie calamity of a war. Still there are
many well-informed observers of
events who are beginning to lean to
the conviction that one of two things
must happen. The coming few years
must either see the downfall of mili
tarism in Germany or a great war
must come to convince the German
people that an army of millions ol
men is necessary to the safety of the
country. Rather titan see the aboli-
tioh of our present military system,
our military officers would face the
risk of a war, even if they had to
provoke it themselves
Opposition Is Spreading.
In all ports of Germany—less in
Prussia, It i? true, than anywhere
else—the popular opposition to the
army is increasing, the burdens are
becoming unbearable and a halt must
be called. The voices condemning a
patriotism bankrupting the country
and pauperizing its citizens are grow
ing stronger. .
The limit of the German peoples
patience toward militarism has been
reached and omens of what will come
are not lacking. A few more Social
ist victories and a militaristic gov
ernment majority in the Reichstag
will be impossible.
Bavaria has shown the way. T wo
weeks ago, the Bavarian Prime Min
ister voiced the feelings of the w hole
German people, when he said in the
Bavarian Diet that although the
Bavarian Government had done wna,
is considered ita duty, when the im
perial Government declared that it
was unable to guarantee the safety of
the empire unless the enormous
amounts asked for on the army budg
et were forthcoming, the time had
now come when it was the duty of
the Government of Bavaria to say
that “this continual increase in arma
ments must now cease for years for
the Bavarian, as in fact the whole
German people, is' unable to oear
these burdens.”
Praise and Censure.
The words of tlio Bavarltilt J rinio
Minister tiavn been as strongly ‘con
demned in llie Government and mili
taristic press as they have been
praised iu the papers that represent
the masses of the people.
Only a war might restore the popu
larity of the army and very prumi
nent army officers have never con*
reaied their opinion that war would
be a blessing to Germany.
Sitting close to a group of high
arm' officers in a fashionable Berlin
cafe the other night. I overheard a
conversation concerning the incidents
at Zabern in Alsace, in which all the
officers not only expressed their usual
contempt of civilians, but agreed that
a few more affairs of that kind
might he exceedingly useful. They
might stir up the people of France to
such a pitch that a war would be un-
avoidable, which would once more
restore the Germany army to popular
favor. _ ,
An army among whose officers such
feelings are common, constitutes a
great danger to the peace of Kurope.
It ia likely to resort to desperate
means to preserve tts position, if
steps are taken by the Reichstag to
curb it and put an end to the military
dictatorships which practically exist
in many places beside Zabern.
