Leo Tolstoi Writes That Whole
World Will Fall Under
Oriental Sway.
"cHURCH HAS BEEN LYING"
Only in the Orient Is 1t That
Religion and Patriotism Are
Synonymous.
"cHuRCH HAS BEEN LYING
Synonymous.

PARIS, Jan. 5.-Count Leo Tolstoi has
written q letter to Paul Sabatier, apropos
of the latter's book on the disestablish-
ment of church in France in which the
Russian author predicts the possible re-
duction of all tho Christian countries OF
the west to q state of vassalage to the
Japanese and other Oriental peoples. He
bases his prediction upon the ground that
it is only in the Orient that religion and
patriotism are synonymous. In this let
ter Count Tolsto displays all his old
time vigor of style and clearness of ideas.
He says in part: Religion Is truth and
goodness the Church faIsehood and
evil. l tell you frankly. / cannot agree
with those who believe the Church Is an
organization Indispensable TO our religion.
The Church has ever been cruel and
lying institution which, in seeking for
temporal advantages, has perverted and
distorted the true Christian doctrine.
All the concordants have been for 1t
nothing but compacts with the State,
whereby the Church supported the State
in return for specific material advant-
ages. Christianity has ever been simply
a pretext for the Church.
II may be told that there have been
and still are in the Catholic world men
and women of holy life. but answer that
these sainted lives are not due to the
Church, but rather In spite of the Church.
In spite of all the efforts of Church and
State to unite the two principals, through
Christianity dove. humility and lsindness)
and that OF the State physical force and
violence), the contradiction has become
in our time so fragrant that solution Is

More Pay.

Because Of this report and experience,
the general staff recommended and the
department decided 1t to be wise to return
to the former policy of equal foreign
service for all the regiments OF the mobile
army.
The present assignment OF the other
colored regiments to the Philippines is
merely for an equal distribution OF foreign
services. They have not been there for
four years. 1t now becomes fair to them
and to other regiments that they be ar
signed to the Philippines in due order.
Foreign service. 1t should be stated, in
creases the pay OF the men 20 per cent.
and counts double time for retirement.
1t was pointed out at the department..
therefore. that the idea that these orders
were preiudicial to tile colored troops Or
We're made on account OF the Brownsville
