MADAME TROUBLE DEAD
4 MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN IN EUROPE (Rec. February 8, 5.5 p.m.) London, February 7. Madame Sorgie, a Continental Syndicalist, nicknamed “Madame Trouble,” and described as the most dangerous woman in Europe, died of heart attack while undressing in a London hotel, during a visit to London for the purpose of interviewing Mr. Ramsay MacDonald and Mr. Lloyd George, for a Belgian newspaper. She was the daughter of a French scientist and granddaughter of a Russian general. With the declaration, “I adore revolution,” she devoted her life to the fomentation of trouble. She boasted that she had led 52. strikes and been repeatedly imprisoned in various countries. She was acquitted on a charge of advocating the assassination of King Victor, marched at the head of London women hunger-strikers in 1912. and delivered a revolutionary oration in Florence while troops had their rifles pointed at her. She turned patriot in wartime, and assisted the Franco-Belgian Red Cross. She always wore a scarlet blouse and rosette, and smoked cigarettes continuously.—Sydney “Sun” Cable.
