NO INTERFERENCE HAD.

PARISH the sixteen months since
France Went TO war it is declared that
there has been only -one attempt made
py violence to interfere with the con
centratiou of the army and the pro
secution of the war. This fact is be-
ing pointed out in justification OF the
action which Minister of the Interior
Malvy took I'm registering suggestions
that an revolutionary leaders, anai-
chists and persons suspected OF dis
LOYALTY to the republic be arrested on
the eve of the issuing Of the general
mobilization order
The names of hye thousand Of these
suspects were, previous to the war,
inscribed in what was known as
Notebook b.. Tt has been the gov
ernmenrs plan, i'm case of mobiliza-
ton. TO have all these people con-
fined, at least while the mobilization
was going on, but Minister Malyy, or
whom the responsibility developed,

other hand, the police and cautious
members Of the cabinet endeayored to
impress upon him the gravity OF the
responsibility he would assume IN
, leaving at liberty persons who ha5
boosted that in case Of war they
would prevent the mobilization of the
army by violence.

cialist party, who was to fall unde

mobilization order was issued an'
