102 PROBLEMS CONFRONTING RUSSIA
Duelling Association for students at the University was
organised at Vienna in 1905. In 1907 the Ladies’ Austrian
Anti-Duelling Association was formed.
In Italy an Anti-Duelling League was formed at Rome in
1902, and a Ladies’ Committee was formed in 1906.
In Hungary an Anti-Duelling Movement was founded in
1902, and at the University at Budapest Courts of Honour
for students were created. In 1906 a Ladies’ Anti-Duelling
Association was constituted at Budapest.
In Galicia, Prince George Tzartoryski in 1903 formed a
League for the Protection of Honour, and a Ladies’
Association was also founded. Nearly the whole of social Galicia
has joined the League, and questions of honour are arranged
by juries.
In Belgium an Anti-Duelling League was formed in 1903,
and in 1905 rules were drawn up for Courts of Honour.
In Belgium the duel was almost unknown, but none the
less an Anti-Duelling League was formed.
In Spain, in 1904, an Anti-Duelling League was started.
In 1906 King Alfonso accepted the honorary presidency of
that League.
The above-mentioned particulars about the anti-duelling
campaign in Europe show that the movement is universal,
and that public opinion in Europe is about to be strongly
influenced against duelling. The war has brought the
movement to a standstill, but as soon as it is over the
anti-duelling campaign will continue, and probably be taken up
also by Russia.
