those most inclined to kill the goose
that lays the golden eggs:
"The Germans had counted greatly
on the Oberammergau Passion Play,
but it was overdone. Thousands OF
American wrote OberRmmergau off
their program.
"The hotel keepers increased their
rates, the merchants scratched the fir
ures of previous years, the government
of the Reich no longer resisted the
temptation, and 10! it raised the rates
of the tax Of foreign residents bv IS
per cent. Thus, hotels which had been
charging 500 to 500 marks a day for
rooms increased the figures to $40 to
l,l20 marks. Would the informed
Americans fall into the trap? It was
likely But their press, their good
press, was watching; small campaign
was organized. The Americans read
their papers, listened to their advice
and the result was soon produced. Ba-
varia was boycotted; Munich, Oberan
mergau, remained empty. While the
Passion Play was III full action third
OF the hotels were unoccupied."

raised loud cry Of protestation which

Vandervelde had not gone to Russia
to play politics or to engage in COM

had gone there as a counsellor for the
defense Of some Socialists brought be-

leaving Brussels he had obtained a
promise from the Soviets that the Gus
tomary guarantees Of justice would be
respected and that his freedom as a
lawyer would be safesuarded. How
ever, he had hardly arrived in Moscow
when he was almost placed under ar
rest; he was guarded at sight and he
was forbidden to leave the house which
had been assigned to him. But listen to

REyAL, July ]

~oMNUNIST circles, It appears,
II are beginning to be very un-
A easy, not only about economic
conditions in Russia and the
failure to gain the support Of foreign
labor organizations, but also about
the ctability Of the Soviet regime This
uneasiness has reached such a state
tast Trotzky and his friends are tax
ing measures TO move the troops to-
ward the capital slowly but systemati-
eslly. SO that he shall have the means
At hand to secure his supremacy when
Lenine dies and to control Moscow, the
center Of the Soviet system.
Besides the dissatisfaction provoked
ay the Widespread economic ruin. the
Soviet government is alarmed at the
increasing desertion from the ranks Of
the Communist party. Even those
trade unions which were originally
stanch supporters Of the Bolshevik
government have radically changed
daring the last two years; for in
stance, the metal workers union, SO
per cent of whose members were Com
munists, now have barely 5 per cent.
Not only do the workers leave the
psrty, but they go back in immense
numbers to the villages, where their
existence, both material and political,
i. less harassed than in the towns.
Within the party strong opposi-
ton has begun TO act more and more
daringly. In the Central Soviet the in
huentisl labor member. Shliapnikoff,
and the veteran revolutionary, Mile.
Kalontsi. hsve openly denounced the
corruption Of their leaders and de-
manded from Trotzky an accounting
for 10000 .oe0, 900 gold rublss which he
has spent in an unknown way. Similar
accusations were brought against Zino-
vieT, the president Of the Third Inter
nationele.
Side by side with these definite
charges is the admission of Lenine (0c-
tober, 1920 that the greatest enemy
of the Soviet yovernme tent is its corrup-
ION.

hostility aroused among the people by

precious objects Of the churches and

Any one who has been living in Rus

have been struck by the fact that not

have sought refuge in religion from

Old Belief Proved Wrong.

The London Times recently carried
news dispatch which indicates that
a pet theory of the late Sir Norman
Lockyer has just received a blow from
which it can hardly recover. Accurate
measurements made by the Egyptian
survey have proved that never since
the great temple of Karnak was built
has the sun shone straight down its
axis. Sir Norman Lockyer believed
that this temple, and many others In
addition, were constructed for the pur-
pose Of obtaining an exact observation
of the precise time of the solstice-
that is to say, the day of the suns
most northerly setting. But Mr.. Rich
ards, of the survey of Egypt, has
proved that the sun has never been
visible at all, at any moment in any
day in any year along the axis of the
temple, since about 5000 B. c., and
that it last set along the central line
of this axis between $4,000 and $4,000
years ago. At this date Europe was
still in the old Stone age; the cave
period was at it's zenith, and the hunt
ers of the Dordogne were chasing rein
deer over the French tundras. To
suppose that the temple of Karnak
can have been built then is out Of the
question This would appear to dis
pose of the sun-temple hypothesis; and
the survey Of Egypt is to be cOngratu-
lated upon useful piece of work.

nearly 5000 pounds of pulverized coal
had been blown into 1t to provide the

EVER THINK ABOUT N0TH1NG7
Cousteline, Eminent French PhiIoso.
pher, May Have Added Another
Word to Language.

Courteline, the French philosopher,
guage, as did Osler and Fletcher. Per-
haps we shall Overhear the expression
ito do COurteline" applied to the at
tempt to think without a subject A
new edition of the PHILOSOPHY Of
COurteline' has recently been issued,
and the reviewer in LIE Progress Medi-
cal assures the reader that in place
of a system of metaphysics the book
consists of a string of thoughts. max
inns and reflections on the most d.
verse themes.
COurteline or some one else, had
heard a woman say that "she never
thought, because thinking fatigued
her; but if she did think she tried to
think of nothing. This declaration he
regards as great to the point of sub
limity-the best thing that has been
said since certain gentleman went
on record as mo lover of spinach"
Such remarks are worth more than
many acts of parliament.
Instead of giving rules about how
to think of nothing, COurteline seems
to think along absurd lines and thus
reduce thought to absurdity. Thus he
states that it is better to drink too
much good wine than even little
poor wine, and that it is better to
court two pretty girls at the same
time than one aged spinster alone. He
says of the doctors that they can
brighten him. but never convince him;
that when they tell him he has this
or that trouble he has no difficulty
in believing them, but when they tell
him they can cure him he no longer
takes their word. He would rather
consult small-fry doctor than lead
ing light of the profession, because
the former. having no theories, is
much less to be feared The brainy
doctor thinks more of justifying his
theory than of curing the patient.
Thinking about nothing" incon-
ceivable in itself, becomes Ineligible
If we look upon it as thinking nom
sensically to stumble now and then on
a sensible conclusion.
