Those who view the war frOm cosmopolitan
standpoint believe that its issue cannot but be ia
vorabe to both political and religious freedom. The
present Is, at all events no htsplcOuS nour Tor the
nascent dogma OF Papal niallibllity. The cause OF
France has been or less identified with that OF
papacy. Now the French troops are drawn from
Rome, and the dynasty which has given 10 Catholi-

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN FRANCE?
As for France, any event of the war, liberty

be revoked by any future government. We agree
with Buckle that the Two great evils Of France are
