WOULD GUST
THE TEUTONS
BY c. r. Berteili

PARIS. May 2S.--A movement that
has already gained considerable
ground has been begun by French
and Belgian Free Masons to disin.
ternationalize Freemasonry on the
continent by the exclusion therefrom
OF both German and Austrian lodges.
The argument is put forth that
neither the Germans nor the Aus.
trians have shown the spirit of char
ity and fraternity which is the foun.
dation Of the principles of Free
masonry, but have used their prlvi-
lege of access into French and Eng
lish lodges for the sole purpose or
spying and betraying the craft to
whom they have sworn brotherhood.
Attention is also called to the fact
that Leon Magette, Senator from
Liege, was arrested and deported al
the instigation OF German Masons
because he had proposed to them that
they sit in judgment on the atrocities
committed in Belgium and protest
against them.
At the beginning of the war OF 1870
the Grand Lodge of Belgiums ad
dressed general letter TO the Grand
Lodges Of France and Germany, re-
questing that the Free Masons be-
longing to the belligerents use all
their influence to prevent acts of
cruelty and 10 conduct the war az
humanely as - ible.
The return post brou yht a letter
from the Grand Lodge of France,
signed by some of the best known
names IN the country, notably those
of generals who constituted the high
command in the fields, and who prom
lsed to do everything within their
power to mollify the horrors and
rigOrs of war.
No response was ever received from
the German Grand Lodge nor from
any German Masons. On August 2.
1914, before the invasion of Belgium,
the Belgian Grand Lodge, not then
/ forseeing that their country would
be ovcrrun. again wrote TO both the
Grand Lodges of France and Ger
many. putting forth the same sug.
gcstions made in 1870.
The same noble response was re.
cciyed from the French Grand Lodge
and even from many individual
! lodges, while on the part of Germany
was nothing but the same significant
silence. a silence. claim the leaders
of the movement, which was marked
by Teuton Masons' deeds of violence
against their brother Masons, by as.
sassination the burning OF Allied
Masons homes and the violation Of
the latters' wives and daughters.

A recent item in the Garland

reproduced below:
Ending a Law Suit"

published at Conway, Ark, contri-
butes what might be a source of
light and leading in the solution of a
judicial problem Law suits are the
order of the day hereabouts.' he
free-for-all fight The Illuminating
part of TINS statement is not in the
saying that there has been an ex-
cess of litigation in the Garland
Springs district, or even in the fact
of "a free-for-all fight, but in the
startling discovery that Arkansas
has actually found way to end law
suits.
"Under modern, or at least Ameri-
can, forms of court procedure, and
the development here of statutory
mazes springing from an Astounding
conviction that there ought to be a
law we have drifted into more
technical pleading that the world
ever dreamed possible. How to end
a law suit has become one of the

practice found its beginnings among
us in higher courts, and was largely
coincident with the rise of private
corporations, but its success in en-
abling lawyers to keep case in court
so many years that lawyer with but
one client could feel himself sure of a
living, has made wide appeal to the
profession everywhere. A client
weary of litigation, and anxious to
escape its after trials, sometimes
finds himself in a maze of technical
tiles to brighten him with a fear of
bankruptcy should he not go on, as
his counsel proposes.
'Jurists, lawyers and legislators
of the better class, have now, for a
few years, been discussing the posi-
BILE ways and means of ending law
suits more speedily. But the prog
ress made is so slight as to be hardly
preceptible. The Empire State of
New York, long the greatest sufferer
from the laws delays, has actually
voted down plan for relief, We are
convinced that Arkansas would have
adopted such a plan had it been sub
mitted there. The zeal and earnest
ness of its people to find ways and
means of ending law suits is well
shown in the free-for-all fight at
Garland Springs, fought, not from
choice but from necessity, and in the
absence of any law to end law
suit such as New York rejected, but
which Arkansas would have APP
proved The Arkansas idea speaks
for itself. It's success is it's de
