Commandingamachine-gunbrigade inthatstruggle,thewriterrecalls,was acertainCaptainEhrhardt.Ifthe affairhadanyhero,continuesMr. Merz: ToEhrhardtfellthatrole.When theputschfailed,andthespirititrepresentedwasdrivenunderground, therebegantospreadthroughGermanyasecretorderthatcalleditself, atfirst,"OrganisationC"-andlater tookthenameof"Konsul,"because

"Traitors"isawayofsaying"democrats."

theRevivalofCatholicism

AMONGTHEINTELLECTUALSOFFRANCE.

ThosewhohavehadanopportunityofcomingintouchwiththeintellectualeliteofFranceduringthelast fifteenyears,havebeendeeplyimpressedbythementalityoftherising generation.Oneofitsleadersspoke ofitmostexactly,whenhesaid:"We mustreturntothefaithofourancestorsandtaketheirpartagainstour fathers."Theyoungmenwhocame tomanhoodabouttheyear1890were altogetherdifferentfromthoseofthe precedinggeneration,whohadseen thedefeatof1871,andhadretained whathascometobeknownasthe "mentalityofthevanquished."The skepticismofErnestRenan,andthe so-calledscientismofthepositivists, didnotsatisfythedevelopingminds ofthenewgeneration.

Thechangeofreligiousideasamong theintellectuals'beganinearnestwhen Brunetierepublishedthefamousarticlesinwhichheproclaimedtheneed ofreturningtotheCatholicChurch. WithBrunetiere,orafterhim,Blondel,011eLeonine.PaulBourget,and MauriceHerresledthewaybackto theCatholicChurch.

"TobetrulyFrench,wemustbeCatholics,"wastheconclusionofthe famous"Inquiry,"madein1910by Massis,underthepen-nameofAgaton. Itwouldseemthatthesevotingmen hadapresentimentofwhatwasgoing totakeplace."Noussommesune generationsacrifice,"saidoneofthem, arepresentativeoftheCatholicrevivalamongtheintellectuals,sometimesbeforethewarbrokeout.And neverwasanheroicpresentimentmore strikinglyrealised.Thesupremesacrificemadebymanyindefenseof countryhasbroughtforthwonderful results.LetuslookatFrancetodayandstudythefruitsoftheir effort.

LeavingoutofconsiderationParis andAlsace-Lorraine,forwhichnostatisticshaveasyetbeenmade,there areinFrancetenmillionferventCatholic'sinapopulationofthirty-four millions.ByferventCatholics,I meanthosewhoperformregularlyall theirreligiousdutiesandreceiveCommunionatleastfourtimesayear.

Seventeenmillionmorehadbeenbaptised.andattendchurchmoreorless regularly.Thusonlysevenmillion areindifferent,andamongthemvery fewarebigoted.Itisinthelarge citiesthatthereturntoCatholicism ismostevident.OfParismuchthat isderogatoryhasbeensaid,but,tobe fair,wemustalsosaymuchthatis complimentary.TherearefourhundredthousandstrangersinParis, manyofthemarenotparticularlyinclinedtopiety,yetsixmillionHoly Communionsaredistributedannually toapopulationoffourmillioniSeople. ThecontributionsofCatholicsto theirparishesamountannuallyto threemillionfrancs.In1905there wereinParisanditssuburbsonehundre,1andfifty-three'churchesand chapels:inthefirstmonthsof1922 thereweretwohundredandtwo.

Intheentirecountry,thereareat presenttwelvethousandCatholic schools,employingtwenty-ninethousandteachers,andgivinginstruction toamillionchildren.Weshouldalso recallthatlastyearFrancegavefive millionfrancstothePropagationof theFaith,thetotalamountcontributedbytheCatholicsof_thewholeworld beingtwenty-threemillion.Accordingtothelateststatistics,Franceis stillgivingtwo-thirdsoftheCatholic missionariesoftheworld.Thisproves conclusivelythattheFreemasons,duringthefiftyyearsoftheirsupremacy, eveniftheydidde-Christianisethe landtosomeextentbymeansoftheir laicisedschoolsystem,wereultimately unsuccessful,sincemostofthepopulationremainsCatholic.

two-thirdsofthestudentsoftheschool arenowferventCatholics.

Inthisappealitisstatedthat"hundredsandthousandsofpeoplearearrestedwhosesolecrimeconsistsinnot wishingeithertodeclarethemselves tobecommunistsortorecognisethe regimeofoccupation."Theteeth andhairofvictimsarepulledout.

Thisreignofterrorwascondemned inaresolutionadoptedbyHamburg LabourCongress.But,astheFederationofLabourpointsout,the Britishdelegatesrefusedtovoteand remainedsilent."Inviewofthe factthatan}`alliancewithcommunismmeanssurrendertocommunism, itisdifficulttounderstandhowthe EuropeanLabourorganisationsthat havebeenflirtingwiththeSovietdictatorsexpecttoescapeassimilationby theReddictatorship."

Whatevermaybetheattitudeof theAmericanpoliticianswhoarenow making,ontheirownaccount,surveys ofRussianconditions,itisapparent thattheAmericanFederationofLabourisbeginningtolookwithappre-hensionupontheplanforco-operation withEuropeanlabourifthelatteris tomakecommonpoliticalcausewith RussianBolshevism.Ithas,therefore,soundedthissignificantwarning:"TheAmericanFederationofLabourhasatnotimebeendeceivedby thetrendofeventsinthehead-quartersoftheInternationalFederationof TradeUnionsatAmsterdam.Asituationthathasneverbeensatisfactory butthathasalwaysheldthegermsof destructive,pro-Bolsheviktendencies, hasforthetimebeing,atleast,becomeworsethanever.
