GROWTH IN FRANCE
Nationalist Leaders Alarmed

PARIS, September 16.-The spread
of bolshevism in France is beginning
to attract the attention of political
leaders and government authorities.
The eventuality of dangerous
growth of communism In this country
always has been regarded as very
remote because of the natural con-
SerVatiVc tendency Of the farming
element, which outnumbers the labor
ing class Lately. however, evidences
have been discovered that the bolshe
Nik virus has penetrated the peas
antry. thought until now to be proof
against all subversive doctrine. This
outcome is attributed to the inf1u-
ence of school teachers. who are
drifting more and more toward ex
treme radicaliSm.
Teachers Make Protest.
An example was furnished the 9TH
er day when a monument to the
school teachers killed on the battle
field was to be inaugurated in the
department of Morbihan. The school
teachers association of the depart
ment decided by a large majority that
the inauguration should not be al
lowed TO take place unless the in
scriptinn. ITO the School Teachers
Who Fell on the Field of Battle"
was changed to ITO the Victims Of
the War" They also demanded that
there be no mention of France or
the ''fatherland" in any speeches, and
tNat the "Marseillaise" be neither
played nor sung.
The unexpectedly large proportion
oE the teachers of that department
WIN TO bolshevism has started an in
curry into the state Of mind of teach
crs generally, and one functionary
Of the department of education said
the Communists were certainly in the
ma ajority by considerable margin.
In some departments teachers have
prepared their own texts for die
tation to pupils in which they have
carefully cut out everything that in
the regular text books smacks of
patriotism or history. Even the
word international" is becoming un-
popular with these extremists because
of the last three SyllableS.
The fight between classes is the
pervading sentiment in the examples
of these improvised text books that
have come to the notice of the au-
thoritieS. How to deal with the sit
uation is hard problem. The present
government is inclined to the great
est Icuiency in such matters, and the
school teachers influence in rural dis
tricts is such that there are no means
of com ating him on his own ground.
The Communists took 100000 votes
from the Socialists in the recent cleo
tions, and the coalition of the latter
with the Radicals is expected to drive
a great many more toward bolshev
ism before another election is held.
In this the school teachers influence
is not felt but it is thought that the
present generation of country school
children will. if there is not reac-
tion in the meantime, swell the Com
InuniSt ranks immensely when 1t be-
comes of voting age.
