minds Of the spook hunters is: Won,d
~ DC becoming to the dignity of a
royal prince and heir to the British
throne to risk being awakened in the
dead OF night by such unseemly be-
havior on the part of the ghost?"
The correspondent spoke about the
matter to the master of the house,
Thomas Chappell, who, however.
did not approve of the idea of
throwing the supposed ghost in las
an additional attraction" He had
lived IN the house for years, but, be-
ing very deaf, it was quite possible
he had not heard the ghostly noises.
The correspondent proceeds:
gathered that the legend of Chads
hunt House, which has been handed
down to the Chappells from former
masters, has very prosaic origin.
Once upon time an inebriated farmer
returning home from market along the
Southam road took the wrong turning,

of the window to see the farmer whip
up his horses, wheel his team around

assuming that should g mistake of
this kind be made again it would be

strument of the Masonic lodges and of
Jewish finance and the Jewish rabbi
nate. A curious restatement of this
mbecile proposition will be found in
IN anonymous pamphlet entitled lie
3olshevisme, which was printed in
Paris earl in the present year by the
Jesuits Of the Rue Garanciere.
We need only glance at the leading
tenets of the Bolsheviki to realize how
stupid al this is---indeed. how impos-
sble it is that Bolshevsm should find
even an ,appreciahle measure of SYM
pathy in the Jewish community. Lenine.
lrotzky and their associates are not
only extreme Communists, but are also
avowed atheists. On the other hand.
: great bulk of the Jews of Russia are
extremely orthodox members ofthe Syn-
agogue, who hold in horror every symp-
'om of atheism. The strength of this
element was recently estimated bv NJ
Paderewski himself at rs per cent. In
their economic affiiation these Jews are
not less hostile to Bolshevism. They be-

Bolsheviki are Christians, and that

because they are atheists, bitterly
hated by the orthodox Jews. MIR.
Wolf shows that the idea of iden-
tifying the revolution with the Jew
ish race and element was invented by
the Czarist regime, because ito de-
nounce the revolution on it's merits
was difficult, but to denounce it as
Jewish conspiracy against the throne
and the altar was always calculated
to impress large classes of the popu-
lation who otherwise might not have
been indisposed to look indulgent|y
on a great political change" Mr..
Wolf continues:
las late as 1906 the theory was
formulated in singularly crazy state
paper addressed by Count Lamsdorf
to the Gar, and in pursuance of it an
attempt was actually made to nego
tlate with Germany and the Vatican an
international campaign against the al
legged revolutionary activities of Jews
and Freemasons. Thus, when Bolshe-
vism arose it was cutie in the line of
traditional Russian policy to denounce
1t as the work of the Jews. The proof.
however, that it is only the old, ex-
travagant superstition in a new form
is shown by the literature Of the more
fanatical anti Bolsheviki. Only lit
tie time ago pamphlet was printed in
one of the South Russian monasteries
in which it was roundly declared that
bolshevism was part and parcel of the
old Jewish and Masonic conspiracy for
the destruction of Christianity, Trotzky

Alfonso XIII, the King, who, by his

position, as ruler of a neutral land

According to "The London Daily

Kineton, in Warwickshire, on the
estate of Lord Willoughby de
Broke. Out of the several possibil-

singled out a place called Chads-

pose best. Eut-there is most
ominous bMt to the proposition.
Says the Kineton correspondent of

and we'll proportioned. His features
at first sight seem to have a Sigh,
Chinese cast and his hair and pointed
beard have a ruddy brown tnge The
head is well domed. and his brow broad
and we'll raised. He has d pleasant
expression in talking. and indeed his
manner can be described as distinctly
rrepossessing. He speaks clearly in a
we'll modu ated voice, and throughout
the interview he never hesitated or
betra ed the slightest confusion In
deed, the only clearly cut Impression
he left on ME was that here was
clear, cold brain. man absolutely
master of himself and of his subject,
expressing himself with a lucdity that
was as startling as it was refreshing.
