ROBBERY OF CHURCHES.

cause emotion in catholic populations, for the
transfer TO a museum Of objects which they

Copyright. 1907, by The Tribune Association. ]

Paris, Oct. 19.-Premer Clemenceau and NJ
BRAND are preparing for the Teassembling Of
parliament next Tuesday by fighting tooth and
nail the anti-militarist group Of unified Social
lists, whose leaders, NM Jaures and Herve, have
been trying hard to convince the public that the
breach between the Radicals and the unified
Socialists is not so deep supposed. NM
CIemenceau and BRAND declare that they
viii shape the course of the Cabinet in foreign
as we'll as home affairs. in absolute Independence
Of The Herv tistes
This position Of the government Is more
over, strengthened by a manifesto from Paul
Brousse. former President of the Municipal
Council OF Paris and signed by a dozen iniuen-
tial men. such as NM. Varenne, Fourniere and
Deslandes. who for the last dozen years have
been the pillars of the unified Socialists party
but who to-day openly secede from NM Herve
and Jauras and denouuce anti-militarism in
drastic terms Moreover, the Socialist organ
'Le Proletare" has. after a years suspension
again made it's appearance, this time with
proclamation from its three editors, NM. Dale
Lucas and Fourniere. announcing that they
have nothing in common with the ''cowardly
unpatriotic Hervestes"
This popular movement indicates that If the
Clemenceau Cabinet is to be upset during the
forthcoming session such a result will certainly
not be due TO It's cutting loose from NM. Jaures
