ABSTRACT
Admiral Maxse has issued a new edition of Ms pamphlet, containing " Reasons for opposing Women's Suffrage," with a new preface in which he maintains that women's suffrage must ultimately lead to civil war. "The success of an insurrection against a government which is chiefly upheld by women is assured beforehand." There is nothing new in this argument: a final appeal to mob law has been thrown in the teeth of all progress, moral or mental, since history began. 253But Admiral Maxse injures bis own cause and risks himself beyond his depth when he declares that Woman Suffrage has been silently abandoned by the Liberal statesmen who espoused it in their youth, and not a single Radical of any weight has spoken a word in its favour for some years. What does he think has become of Mr. Courtney, Mr. Fawcett and Mr. Stanefeld.
