The Banner of CZenenceau
Under 1t France Has Turned Aside From
Revolution and Rallied to the Republic
(From the Tribune Paris Bureau

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Now that the
tumult and the shouting have died down,
now that France has voted and a new
Chamber of Deputies has been elected,
it is possible to see the situation in a
recovered perspective. The cables
have told how socialism went down to
defeat, how the shrewd common sense
of France turned aside from the road
of revolution, but there is, nevertheless.
a story to tell which should set the
situation more clearly before Amer
leans than can be done in hurried mes
sages destined for the wire.
First, it should be told how Georges
Clemenceau, that indomitable old mas
ter of political strategy, gave the So
cialists rope, and how they promptly
hanged themselves. Carry the mind
back to the great speech the aged
statesman journey to Strassbourg to
make on the eve Of the elections, the
speech which was to be the keynote of
the campaign for the great united party
the bloc notionoJ-that carried his
flag to the polls. It will be remem-
bered that he scourged Bolshevism as
with whips, and that he heaped scorn
and contempt on the Socialists who
accepted among their number q traitor
to France. certain Captain Sadoul,
officer in the French army once, but
later one Of the Bolshevists.
This man Sadoul served Clemenceau
as the red rag which was to infuriate
the Socialist bull. Sadoul went to
Russia as an officer attached to q
French mission. He is young man,
yeasty minded'and impressionable, for
merely a passionate proclaimer Of So
cialism as a panacea for all the ills Of
all the world. In Russia the Bolsheviki
worked upon his vague yearnings and
nodded him as they would, and re-
turning Frenchmen had to tell how an
officer wearing the horizon blue had
gone over to Lenine and Trotzky. Later
came q dreadful-an almost unbeliev-
able-story according to which Sadoul
had even denounced some Of his own
countrymen to the Bolsheviki, with re-
suits which those who know the pres
ent government Of Moscow can imagine.
SadouL's Shame
For this treason jacques Cor Judas)
Sadoul was tried in his absence by a
court martial sitting in Paris, and was
condemned to death. Despite the SEN
,tence, his name was kept upon the So
cialist ticket, and it was to this fact
that Clemenceau referred when he
scornfully called his political oppo-
nents Bolsheviki, and tainted them
with Sadouls shame.
The Socialists of France saw red
and they were lost. Long live Sadoul!'
and "Long live the Russian Revolu-
toni" we're their election cries, and II
the echoes reached the old man who
had waved in their faces the red rag
he must have smiled grimly. Had the
Socialists kept within bounds there is
no knowing what might have happened
at least in Paris, which is the great
working and Socialist center Of the
country. But the old leaders SCOTT
and contempt had maddened them

Thrift in the Treasury

Sir: What, pray, do you think Of

Thrift (always with capital letter..
The urgency Of this noble epistle Is
intensified by reminding the recipient
Of his first arrival here and Of the fact
that America represents to all who

Why should such . lofty message as

was any money, before asphalt or

him, and 1t was with his name on their
lips that they disturbed and tried to
break up their opponents meetings.
But Paris would have none of Sadoul.
and neither would the rest of France.
Since the extreme Socialists stuck to
this unworthy Frcnchman, France
would have none of them, either.
Clemenceau had found the issue that
meant victory, and on that issue
Bolshevism or not-the battle was
fought. The old man knew his coun-
trymen, and he knew and counted on
the blind incontinence of the Socialists.
He was right, as so often he has been
right in questions of political strategy.
Rein Orcenent Of the Right
So France has sent to the Chamber
626 Deputies pledged, as to the great
majority Of them. to fight Bolshevism
tooth and nail. Yet It is not enough to
fight Bolshevism. There are other
things to be done, and it is in relation
to these other things that the compost
ton Of the Chamber is chiefly impor-
tant and deserves examination.
What the effect on France Of q rein
forcement of the Right in the Chamber
will be only time can tell. The So
cialists frantically warn Of danger to
the republic, but too much water has
flowed under the bridges since the
miserable days Of the Franco Prussan
War to make this easy, or even posi-
BILE, Of belief.
"Well," say tho Socialists, ~even If
the republic is not endangered, it is
certain that we shall see q recrudes-
cence Of Imperialism. We have q
! Chamber in which the Socialists, the
Liberals of the Left, are too few in
number to make Roadway against the
forces of reaction and chauvinism now
firmly seated there"
To which the reply Is that France
has Chamber elected by people very
obviously and very clearly aware OF
the duty they owe to themselves
There is no jingoism in France to-day
The people want to see their country
acquit itself in the field Of foreign af
fairs with dignity and as BELTS its
victorious sacrifices, but also they have
made 1t clear that there are other
things than saber-rattling for the new
government Of France.
There Is the cost Of living, the awful
problem Of finance, the heavy labor o,
reconstruction, the urgent need Of In
creased production (Which goes hant
in hand with the meeting Of interes
on war loans and the remedying Of thu
disastrous state Of French exchange)
there Is a vast reorganization Of tn
administrative life Of the country t.
be set about, there are great publi
works to be started if the natural re
sources of tho land are to be exploite,
as the people mean them to be ex
ploited-all these and hundred othe
things are crying out for action.
The French people will see that the,
get action. Let there be no doub
about that.

For the Blind Who Are
Still Helpless
Why the Permanent Relief
Fund Calls for Aid


been able to wind up their activities
since the signing Of the armistice, the
Permanent Blind Relief War Fund for
Soldiers and Sailors Of the Allies, whose
headquarters are at 500 Fifth Avenue,
New York, finds its ministrations as
urgently in demand as ever. The prin-
cipal reasons fer this are that blinded
soldiers stay blind and it takes a long
time and a lot of money to train each
one of them to be independent; that
large numbers of them still await their
chance tox be helpful; that additional
victims are losing their sight in bat
ties still being fought for the liberty
of the world, and because the fund has
been appealed to by nations devastated
and impoverished in the world conflict
to continue in their behalf its merci-
full task of reconstruction and rehabili-
tation
In order properly to carry on its
work the fund has been incorporated
under the laws Of the State of New
York, and the following six classes of
membership have been established to
insure an adequate revenue: Benefactor,
$4,000; patron, $1,000; life member,
$500; sustaining member, 500 a year;
member, SIS year; associate member,
$40 a year. Appeal is made to the
public, who, since the creation Of this
wholly American institution in the
spring Of 1915, have enabled II by their
contributions to aid the sightless SOL
diers Of no fewer than eight nations to
become members in one or other Of
these classes.
Work That Must Go On
OF the ten institutions the fund main.

hat the rat has been described as the
most expensive animal maintained by
man. He costs in damage anything
up to $2OO,OOO,OOO year-as much as
the whole government subsidy to the
farming industry. He spreads bubonic
plague and other diseases among men
and animals alike. He is of no earth
ly use except as a scavenger, aMd
there the remedy is worse than the dis
ease. The fiat has gone forth; he
must be exterminated wherever he
shows his head-in stacks, in gra-
naries. in warehouses, in the holds OF
vessels. The mouse, too, if less HARM
full, is just as useless as his big rela-
tive-and the only living creature
which will regret his disappearance
is the cat.

ATS PERJURY"

Synopsis-Senor Antonio de la
Guerra, a fine old Spaniard living
on his ancestral estate on the
American side of the Mexican bor-
der, is informed by his American
lawyer, Dempton, that there is a
technical error in his will. He
thereupon signs new WILL without
reading it. In the meantime his
adorable granddaughter and heir
ess, Senorita Teresa, is out on her
rose-covered balcony, listening to
American love-making from Billy
Stairway, owner OF the Painted
Rock ranch. Teresa, going to join
her grandfather, finds him gone,
with the drawing room in disorder
and blood on the floor. The Amer
lean takes command of the situa-
ton. Senior Eduardo Ramon Tore,
hated kinsman of the De la
Guerras, arrives. Stairway and the
De la Guerra ranch hands return
from vain pursuit of the bandits.
The new will disinherits Teresa and
makes Tore sole heir. Captain
JuareZ, nOminally representing the
bandits, appears and demands $780,
600 ransom for De la Guerra. Tore,
as heir, tries to assume control and
demands that Teresa produce the
ransom. Stairway deta1ns Tore
and Juarez and his men kidnap
Dempton and bring him to the
ranch. Stairway demands a confess
sion from the lawyer.

Stairway went to the door.
'There is going to be no more max
ing of terms" he said briefly. 81 shall
talk Ito you henceforward as I'd talk

Tore sprang up swiftly his face
flushing darkly with rush of angry
blood.
"You shall see," he cried harshly,

sharp teeth. You fool, it is ] who will
offer terms-or dictate-at my pleas

He turned away with a short, ugly
laugh. Stairway for the first time felt
a little shock of positive dread; fear
that he was risking too much; that he
had no right to assume this RESPONSE
bility. For there was something in
Torres voice which told him that the
man was making no idle threat.
