condition. with her head and face bat
tered and covered with blood. Mrs. Grange
was discovered by her neighbor, Mrs. Ru-
dolph Stsfsns. who went 10 the Grange
home about O'Clock and was startled 20
find the front door open and with bloody
finger marks ON it's white knob.
Mindful Of the murderous assault which
had been committed on aged Mrs. John

Mrs. Steffens was afraid TO enter the
house alone. SO she walked down the road
and called another neighbor. William kirch,
who returned to the Grange house with her
and started an investigation.
Passing through the lower rooms Of the
house they found the furniture In the

turned on her with a blackjack. She

SOCIALISM IN FRANCE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 7 read to-day your editorial article headed
Trench Anti-Socialisnl,'' pointing out the causes
underlying the rapid dsintesration OF Socialism in
France. You gay: In demanding that French So
ctziists shall practically deny the fatherland and
shall hold allegiance TO international Socialism
above allegiance to the French Republic the So
cisliEts have provoked the drawing Of the line be-
tween Socialism and anti-Socialisn, between
sut-pztiotism and patriotism" That line must
ultimately be drawn wherever the principles OF
Socialism hold sway in their complete form ike
sntascnism must and does arise between Socialism
and religion The Socialist ideal brooks no rival
IN authority whether it be the country. the home.
TIE Church or the indiVidual-sll must be subordi-
rate to the power end authority of the universal
social body, holding allegiance 10 It alone.
Those who prize the rights OF the individual, the
autonomy OF the Church. the Independence OF re-
1g!on and the present constitutional form Of the
American Republic must make their choice against
SOCIALISM. Those who willing 10 surrender
these things for leap IN the dark viii accept So
cAsl1sul, with its vague promises and its unwork-
s1e scheme OF social reconstruction. Incidentally
= E not inopportune 10 point out that the under
ylng, tnpellng Of the attack upon the Catho-
nc Church IN France and the oonhscation of her
treat properties-churches, colleges, hospitals and
rnoasste-ies-xas this Same Socialist propaganda,
eooins il Cd the balance Of power in the French
Chambers and forcing its will upon the government
dependent upon It for parliamentary support
Separation Of Church and State the cry
raised, but the true motive the overthrow Of
organized religion and the substitution of the power
TIE Council Of State for the spiritual authority OF
ohe Catholic episcopate But. the ultimate at
escs must be made upon the state herself for the
etng up OF the social state II is evident that
