RED REVOLUTION LOOMS IN FRANCE CARDINAL WARNS
Dubois Cites Juares Pa. rade As Challenge To
 Country's Safety
(By Associated PreSs)

PARIS, Nov. 2S-France is threat ened with a communist revolution ac- cording to a declaration by Cardinal Dubois to be published tomorrow in The Semaine Relieguese, an official Catholic organ.
 Appealing to all French Catholics "to fight against the danger which menaces us so imminently," the Cardinal writes:
 'srhe hour is grave. We must react today, tomorrow perhaps will be too late. God protect France!",
 The Cardinals manifesto, which is circulated throughout France, by the Agence Havas, deals with the Red de- monstration at the ceremony attending the transference to the Pantheon of the ashes of Jean Jaures, the martyred socialist leader.
 It continues:
 Fears Revolution
 "Is victorious France, six years after the war, to be a victim of revolution One may well fear it if immediately all good citizens do not resist for the honor and safety or the country"
 Cardinal Dubois goes on to speak of the Jaures parade last Sunday in which were numerous Free Masons decorated with their insignia, with only few French tri-colored flags"
 And there" he continued, twas communist army, compact and dis ciplined. They numbered 10000, mobi- lized under the shadow of a multitude of Red flags stamped with the hammer and scythe of the soviets. They ad canced to the sound of the "Interna tionale," shouting cries of disorder and calls for violence.
 Danger Appears
 Tt was a fearful revelation. The danger that one believed to be remote appeared suddenly and the spectre of sovietism showed itself on our horizon. How many of us then opened our eyes at the passage of the cortege in which the communists triumphed, and began to reflect on the consequences of policy that can lead France to the worst of catastrophes.
 For communism would be the ruin of that which is dearest to us-re Ggion and country. It would bring upon us the most awful tyranny. Will we let it force itself upon France and renew the horrors of soviet Russia?
 ''To ease our conscience as Bishop and Frenchman, we wished without de- lay to sound the alarm. God grant it be heard by all who have the safety of our country at heart"

AWAITING REPLIES
 ON LEAGUE POLICY
Attitude of Nations Regarding
 War Threats Desired
By The Assoolated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Geneva, Sept. 19.-Replies from the various governments to 10 what they could do in the general con trlbution of action under sanctions to come into play against any state adjudged an aggressor are likely to form one of the chief features of the Agenda of the proposed inter- national conference on disarma- ment.
 The article in the protocol draft ed by Dr. Benes of Czechoslovakia concerning the application of pen alties is general in its nature and many of the delegates think 1t will be necessary to obtain from each government some concrete outline of what it will offer. economically financially or militarily in any emergency, It is argued such as sistance would provide something definite for the disarmament con- ference to work upon and give a more rational basis for a possible agreement on the reduction of arm aments.
 The subcommissions today con- tinued their detailed examination ct the arbitration clauses in the proposed protocol and gave partic- ular attention also to the examina- ton of measures to be adopted while arbitration proceedings are going on between affected states, The goal is elimination of the dan gers of conflicts breaking out while the arbitral machinery is being set in motion.
 The sub-committe on arbitration threw it's weight today for the maintenance of the unanimity rule in decisions of the assembly con- missions. A unanimous vote is re- quired in the assembly itself, but Holland introduced a proposal to permit the commissions to reach decisions by majority vote or questions involving resolutions re- quiring the approval of the govern. mcnt. This proposal was rejected

 Berlin. Sept. 19.-German sport writers greeted with printers ink cheers the news that the Olympic games in Paris this summer aroused some criticism in the United States and that movement had been started in England pro- posing that tho British refrain from further participation in the contests.

 Considerable space was devoted by the German press to the Paris games, the sport news frequently appearing on the pages mostly de- voted to politics and the writers pointing to the lack of enthusiasm among the crowds, and much at- tention was given to every disputed point wherever the contestants or judges disagreed.
