Sorgue, who was described by the Public Prosecutor at the Court of Assi7.es at Milan as "the most dangerous woman in Europe," has been prevented from going to England and fulfilling "an engagement to address a meeting in Belfast, by an intimation that she would be arrested it she came to England at the present time. Mme. Sorgue is a revolutionary aristocrat. Her grandfather was the Russian General, CripkotV. Her uncle, Istoniine, was tho senior Admiral of tho Baltic Fleet. She is the daughter of Durand de Gro3, a famous French philosopher. In a character sketch and interview which appeared in a recent issue of the "Review of Reviews," it is narrated that at the age of 19 Mme. Sorgue sought a channel for her energies on the French stage, and then passed in rapid succession through the roles of journalist and revolutionary speaker and writer. In. 1908 she was the "storm-centre ot Portuguese politics. In the International Press Congress of that year in Lisbon, which was opened by King.Carlos, every journalist in the Congress rose to receive the King save the irreconcilable Sorgue, who remained seated. Once at Florence she delivered her revolutionary speeches looking down the barrels of tho levelled rifles of the soldiers. "The storv of how this dauntless woman by her cool foreej'nlness controlled some thousands of infuriated and desperate men, and prevented bloodshed, reads like a page of iiction."
