After spending ifty-six months in iaiI
pending trial Raoul Villain Jaures's s|av-
or, was brought before jury on Monday
March pa 1919. Witnesses testified that
Jaures, while opposed to regaining Alsace-
Lorraine by force of arms, was in favor If
a peaceful reunion. Pierre Renaudel who
succeeded Jaures in the leadership of the
SOCIALISTS, said that Jaures had decided to
make personal appeal to President Wilson
on August Z, 1914, in an endeavor to have

Rebufed

Because of the rebuff she had suffered at
the hands of Baudricourt, Joan, according
to her own testimony, made an effort to re-
sist the voices. But they became threaten
ing. In January of 1929 she again appeared
before Baudricourt. Again he refused to
receive her statements seriously. Joan re-
manned in the vicinity and won over num-
Der of his advisers. On February II she
told of great defeat of the armies of the
King at Orleans. A few days later the Off
cial reports of this engagement were re-
ceived and those that had been skeptical
now turned to Joan for advice With
Baudricourt's express sanction and attend

The Maid of Orleans was pictured by
early historians as a shepherdess But from
her own lips there is a denial of this. She
tended her fathers focks occasionally
Yet her chief occupation was that of a
maid of all-work. She was an excellent
cook. She was proficient in the use of the
needle. She was noted for her physical
energy, which is often a complement of a
highly nervous temperament.
None could possibly have been more sur
prlsed than her nearest neghbors when she
came forward with claims that were looked
upon by all as fantastic and fanatical. Per-
haps few of her girlhood friends were
not amazed. for they had watched her
gradually withdraw from their society and
give her time to solitary brooding and to
fervent prayer.
Her father was peasant owner, which
means a freeholder. His circumstances
were easy, so Joan wanted nothing. His

story's Solemn Reparation to Joan Of Ar
Burned at the Stake as a 3sRelapsed
Hereto" by Her Mis-
guided Age i

DAN OF ARC, who was burned at the
stake as "relapsed hereto" and who
a was described by sober historians as
witch in league with the fiends of
he'll, will be proclaimed to-day as a saint
OF the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Bene-
diet has ordered her formal canonization
The ceremony, coming nearly 500 years
after her death. marks the conclusion of
half century of formal effort to clear her
memory From to-day in Roman Catholic
practice there can be no dispute The
Supreme Pontitf will have spoken ex cathe-
dra From his dlctum there can be no APP
peal.
The name of Joan of Arc takes its place
with martyrs and confessors, and vcnera-
ton of her name becomes an obligation
upon Roman Catholics everywhere. Ten
years ago, by order of Pope Plus, Joan Of
Arc was beatified. This meant that her
memory had been formally pronounced
"blcsscd' and that local veneration was
permitted The sanctions of to-day's cere-
mony are not merely permissivc; they arc
mandatory.
They represent the ultimate effort of the
Roman Catholic Church to remove a stigma
which it long since rcpudiatcd. They
represent the operations of long and in
volvcd process which. in the eyes of the
Church, can permit of no mistakes. Re-
viewing her history meant the appointment

m order that the Church might be safe
guarded, to combat every effort looking
toward to-day's ceremony.
Twenty-four years after the condemna-
ton of Joan of Arc n revision of her trial
the "proces de rehabilitation" was begun
N Paris, with the consent of the Holy See
The proceedings of the trial were reviewed
exhaustively; witnesses were reexamined
and finally the judgment was reversed and
technically annulled But Joaps body was
then in ashes and the waters of the Seine
had carried those ashes where they would
Even before the trial there had been
many adherents of the Maid of Orleans who
had believed her divnely inspired With
the reputation of the findings of the court
and annulment of the judgment could not
atone for what had formally been declared
an error. But not until 1869 were the
proper steps taken for her beatification and
ultimate canonization. In that year Mon
signor Dupanloup, Bishop of Orleans, made
an appeal to the Pope. His action culmi-

of the French Joan of Arc is not only a
tradition, but ever-present guardian of
the national destinies. To them it was the
spirit of Joan that stopped the Huns at
the Marine.
Born of a we'll do peasant family in
Domremy, a small village in the Vosges,
partly in Champagne and partly in Lor-
raine, she emerged, unlettered, to advise a
King and to take command of his army She
appeared if in fulhlment of prophecy.
She spoke of her divine inspiration, of the
leadership OF heavenly voices. At first she
was scorncd. But she triumphed over each
succeeding rebuff, and finally in the mo-
ment of testing, penetrated Il Kings dis
guisc and commanded his attention and con-
hdence.
Her military genius placed a crown upon
the brow of an uncrowned Dauphin. She
won wild acclaim. Then came a reverse,
with 1t came loss of popular favor and
of the Kings confidence Ultimately those
that had believed in ner heavenly guidance
looked upon her as a WITCH She was sold
by those whom she had served.
She was tried by an ecclesiastical court:
sentence was suspended; n retral was or
hercsy. That heresy consisted merely in
the wearing of mans apparel. She was
burned at the stake. Her ashes were scat
tered into the Seine because of super
stitious fear that the Vaccinations of the
devil would begin in the vicinity of her
remains. To-day she triumphs over and in
the Church that condemned her, and
mllions-millions that owe nothing to her
by any national tradition-will venerate
her as saint
Some historians have tried to ascribe her
leadership to successful priestcraft But
it has been shown that the only instruc-
ton she ever received upon ecclesiastical
subjects was at her own mothers knee,
She learned the "Pater Noster," the cave
Maria and the "Credo" She knew nothing
OF reading or writing. She was brought
up In ignorance even of the prophecy
which, 1t was later held she emerged to
fulfil.

fears as to his own legitimacy. Other
writer's say she repeated to him prayer

Before the Dauphln would permit Joan to
take any part in the military operations
under his command he ordered that she be

mittee of bishops and doctors. H.
The minutes of this examination disap-

Of Joan's trial, although she frequently ap-
pealed for their production. Nothing could
be found against her. She was declared to
be girl of simple faith and the ecclesi-

claims to heavenly guidance. The report of
the examination did not pass upon the
validity of her claims 1t merely replied to
the negative accusations and said that

Her mother was unusually devout, even for
that early day. She had made pilgrimage
to Rome and was rigorous in her observance
of church customs.
1t was when Joan was about thirteen and
half years old, according to the best at
tested statements, that she became CON
scious of "hearipg supernatural voices"
From her own words it is assumed that she
believed these manifestations to be accom-
panied by blaze of light. She declared
she recognized the voices as those of ST.
Michael, st. Margaret ard st. Catherine.
To her confessor she said nothing about
these voices, and, at her trial, she refused
to testify further about the appearances to
her except to say: ~ them with these
very eyes, as we'll as l see you"
BY May, 1928 she had no doubts as to
the messages that were transmitted through
den to go to the assistance of the King.
She presented her plea to Robert Baudri-
court, who commanded the Kings armies in
