THE patriot priest Hidalgo began his
work that very night and with his UNI
formed columns he took the road against
the trained soldiers of Spain. He gained
thousands of recruits as he marched along
the fertile valleys and finally halted on
the hills which look down on the City of
Mexico then the stronghold of the Span

and struck the first blow for national

This patriot priest told them in burn

that the very bread had been stricken
from their hungry mouths by the tyrants
who had crushed the industry of their
silk worm and ruined their vine and took
their little all for tribute. Here he

calls Alfonso king.
Don Jaime, his father, his great uncle
and his great-great uncle before MIN
have always stood uncompromisingly on
the side Of reaction and against the forces
of modern liberalism. 1t is not unnatural,
therefore that the clerical party in Spain
should find in the Carlists and Carlism
powerful weapon against the CanaleJas
forces. They have frankly declared their
intention to use any means necessary "
thwart the purposes of the present Span
ish government, and, should parliament
airy methods fail, there can be no doupl
that the Carlists will receive every en-
enlargement to raise the banner OF re
volt against the king. Alfonso has thus
far given full support to his ministers,
and for this reason, as well as because or
the dissatisfaction and diStrust arouseo
by the influence of his English queen, ne
may yet find himself arrayed in OPPOSE
ton to the church.
Despite the fact that the statement mas
been vigorously denied at Rome and by
Prime Minister Canalejas. there are many
subjects of Alfonso who blame the un-
compromising Professionalism of Queen
Victoria's mother, Princess Beatrice. for
a great deal of the present Spanish trou-
BILE with the Vatican. Princess Beatrice
has turned a room in the royal palace
into private chapel, where she has
services by an English chaplain, who al
ways accompanies her.
There is a regular clique at court which
pays homage to Princess Beatrice, and 1t
is even rumored that she is trying her
hand at PROSECUTING some of the Spanish
court ladies who adopt a defiant atti-
tude toward the Catholic ecclesiastics.
King Alfonso is powerless to interfere
with his mother-in-law and the rumor
has spread that the queen attends the
services secretly. which probably is un-
true. However, the mere suggestion has
greatly injured her already waning popu-
larity.
Queen Mother Christina always resents
the presence and pretensions of Princess
Beatrice and Is not unwilling quietly to

take years. was for France to attack
England when a large portion OF her
army and navy had been drawn TO the
other side of the Atlantic to quell the
colonial revolt.
De Kalb at that time was perhaps thirty
years old. 1t is not known exactly where
he was born. or when. Probably 1t was
in the province of Alsace, which was then
a part of France. Whether he inherited
the title OF baron. or whether he won 1t
with his sword is equally obscure. Some
say he was a peasants son. He was
soldier of fortune from the time ne was
old enough to bear arms. He fought In
the Seven Years war. and at some time
in that period became secret agent OF
the French government. He spoke many
languages with extraordinary facility. he
was a trained soldier and had q genius
for obtaining difficult information. He

Of the alliance of this young nobleman.
Lafayette was related to some of the
highest digntaries of the French court
and was one of the leaders of French
society. These qualifications outweighed
the fact that he was no soldier. BY this
time De Kalb had given his heart and
soul to the cause of the Americans. He
offered every inducement to Lafayette
military glory, fame. everything he
thought would appeal to the young noble.
So as to give prestige to the expedition,
he made Lafayette its nominal head. In
this way he attracted a crowd Of brilliant
Frenchmen trained in arms and paved
the way for recognition by France OF a
new republic.
