j Since the cud of the war tho Italian
Matcsmcn have bren boldly putting into
practice the International pacifist doc
trine preached by tho intellectual op
ponents of the peace of Versailles in
all countries. They arp carrying out
t'h,e political program of Anglo-Saxon
pacifism and radicalism.
1 It is true that they have succeeded in
reconciling this idealistic policy with
Italy's material interests and even her
territorial aggrandizement, but it does
xwt follow that tht.v arc altogether with
oit sincerity. The question is simply:
How is the theory of fraternization with
foreign and integral foes working out
In Italy?
It is a question of supreme interest
and importance for all other nations
that arc being urged with ever in
creasing vehemence to adopt the same
policy.
War Hatreds Have Vanished
Of all the allied countries Italy has
been the first to effect a complete, unre
.)..,, ronnriltntlon with the Central
Powers. Germans and Austrian have
been readmitted to Italy on terms of
absolute equality witn nil oiner lor
dgners. German business men. news-

not led to a single unpleasant incident
anywhere. ... , . ,
The Itnlian attitude toward Austria
is one of compassionate protection:
Germanv Is again regarded almost as an

at any rate, they have so far succeeded
in saving the country from absolute
revolution.
Nevertheless. It Is impossible to get
rid of tho Impression that nnarchy In
Italy has been stimulated uy oOicial
pacifism. The government's tacit rec
ognition of the Russian soviet has cer
tainly rc-entorceu tne prestige or doi
shcrim among the masses, who in
stinctively feel tlint it is Impossible to
recognize Lcninc's government without
recognizing the principles on which' it is
based, which involve tho destruction of
all other existing forms of government.
"If our government sanctions Soviets
in Russia, why should we not have So
viets in Italy?" demand the Italian
workers and peasants, not without rea
son. But the most unfortunate and alarm
ing consequence of official pacifism in
Italy is that while it has strengthened
the prestige of anarchy by seeking
Tjcnino's friendship, it has at tho samo
time all but destroyed anarchy's most
effective antidote patriotism nnd pride
in victory by Its attitude toward the
vanquished Centrnl Powers.
When the war ended, the Italian peo
ple were exalted by the same intense na
tional enthusiasm which still animates
the French today. Denounce it ns im
perialism or chauvinism if you will, but
the fact remains that while this siprit of
national exaltation lasted Italy was free
from the bolshevist fever.
National Exaltation Gone
Todav no vestige of it is left. It has
vanished by order of the government.
It has been systematically discredited by
the Italian state-men in their speeches,
in the press, with the most laudable In
tention., hut the most dlsnstrniiH results.
Slgnor N'itti U a pacifist, and he is
also as his renewed ndvent to power
proves an extremely able nnd versa
tile politician. The star of pacifism 18
In the ascendant on the political horizon
nftPr the terrible darkness of war.
But there is a kind of pacifism that
is apt to degenerate into anti-patriotism
and to create a state of mind in which
people ore inclined to love all countries
except their own and to become indif
ferent nnd almost hostile to their own
country's interests.
When Premier Mtti undertook the
reconstruction of Italy after the war ho
found the Italian people in a state of
national excitement which he feared
mlrlif le:id them into catastrophic ad
ventures, lie wisely vet about altaying
this exaggerated nationalism, and he
succeeded but ho succeeded too well.
It is undeniable that Italy has been Ictt
without a national ideal to counterbal

bhevism. Sharp Contrast With France

For a study of Eskimo conditions
Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, D. D., V.
R. G. S.. made the journey in the win
ter of 1017-18, which he describes so
attractively in his "A Winter Circuit
of Our Arctic Coast." This unusual
time was chosen because only In tho
winter are the people at home, the rest
of the year being spent mostly in fish
ing and' hunting. The winter life is the
normal life. So from his graphic ac
count we lenm what is their present
state and what the government nnd
missions hmc done for them and what
should yet be done. And it is surpris
ing to learn that, considering their ex
tremely confined conditions. "Invincible
cheerfulness is perhaps their most dis
tinctive trait." With this statement
agrees the arctic traveler, Rasmussen,
who says of the Greenland Eskimos:
"Their domestic life flies pabt in a
succession of happy days. If you 3top
to listen outside a hut you will always
hear cheerful talking and laughter from
within." Yet at the Alaskan village
of Point Hope "all the winter through
they must take the dogs and go five
miles for water. Round a provident
igloo you will fcce the fresh-water ice
stacked up for future use like stove
wood."
There was in this place, one of the
most important on the const, an unas
sisted missionary, who was "clergy
man, physician, echool teacher, post
master and general vicegerent of Prov
idence in local affairs, besides being
his own cook nnd housekeeper." From
the work of such men there has come
"n chaugo from a drunken, disorderly
and violent folk of ill repute all along
the coast to a decent, well-behaved,
quiet, industrious community."
Throughout his account of his winter
trip with dog sleds of six months he
shows a remarkable knowledge of the
work of the Arctic explorers from the
earliest times to the present. Over
them, he says, he used to "pore as a
boy," and they "gave me my first in
tellectual stimulus." His book, which
has many interesting reproductions of
photographs, is dedicated "in loving
memory of his young half-breed com
panion, Walter Harper, who was
drowned at tea onl five months after
their return to Fort Yukon.

I' Finally, it has maintained an attitude
o indh'nant forbearance toward the
Tfirolutiouary labor movement in Italy
itself and allowed free scope to radical
asltation and the application of Social
istic theories.
Modern Radical Pacifism
The policy of the Italian statesmen
thus fulfils the fundamental principles
o.modern radical pacifism: Fraterniza
tion with Germany and soviet Rusla
in foreign politics and collaboration
with socialism at home. It i the policy
advocated by the opposition parties in
England, bv the grent majority of
British "intellectuals." and by the
remnants of Joseph Caillaux's following
In France.
I It would, perhaps, be premature to
any that Italy's experiment with this
policy has nlready definitely failed.
But it is certainly putting It very mildly
to say that so far its results are not
very encouraging.
.t-Whilc we are still being told that
jvitbout it reconstruction is Impossible
and revolution inevitable, there nrc but
few signs that it has served to advance
reconstruction in Itnl nnd many that
it is helping to promot- rmnliition.. The
rriost siguihciint circumstances, to my
tuiud, is that it has proved absolutely
impotent to appease the revolutionary
ambitions of the Italian labor leaders
and the discontent of the fanaticlzed
Italian proletariat.
' .Here we have a government that is
(driving, to the best of its ability, to
fulfill all the demands of international
socialism, and the Socialists nre as in
tent on its destruction as ever! It ii
trying to apply the Socialist recipe for
reconstruction, nnd thev are paralyzing
this reconstruction by incessant strikes
exactly in thp same way as in countries
whose government nre supposed to b
"yenctionnry." and even with ereater
boldness and violence. The German
mentality of international socialism,
which invariably interprets tolerance na
weakness, was never more brutally re
vealed. Stimulation to Anarchy
There are people who argue that the
situation in Italy would be much worse

to pursue u different policy, and that,

eer since the conclusion of peace, But
all the efforts of the French Govern
ment have been concentrated on keeping
alive the pcople'3 patriotism and na
tional pride.
France has not been allowed to for
get for one moment that she is victori
ous, and that Red nnarchy would in
evitably change her victory into defeat.
The martial spirit of her army has been
incessantly stimulated since hostilities
ended. A few weeks before the great
revolutionary strike movement was
launched by the trench Bolshevists a
crisis .which every one knew was bound
to come sooner or later cue r rencn
troops advanced into Germany, occupy
ing Frankfort, and gladdening every
Frenchman's heart with visions- of
military glory.
France has overcome the Bolshevist
crisis because the 1'rench people wpre

attain the same result It is sincerely
to be hoped that he will. His experi
ment in any case is worthy of the closest
nttention. for it is the first attempt to
realize the principles of modem pacifism
in practical politics.
Italy's example may yet be nn inspl
rntion to the world, though nt present
it seems more like n wnrning.

William Allison had in mind when he
concocted the plot for "A Secret of

to say that the plot is impossible, for
anything is posMble save, perhaps, ap
preciation by the Senate of the desire
of the American people for the nitifi-
cation or the peace treaty.

Investigation revealed that there was
no one on board the second yacht and
that It had been nppnrontlv deserted,

It begins to look ns if every writing
person interested In spiritualism or
spiritism would write a book nbout It.
The number of volumes on the subject
coming from the presses since the wnr
has become so- Inrge that those whose
business It Is to keep track of new books
hnve been compelled to give up count
ing them.
Those renders with open minds will be
greatful to the publishers for icnrlntlng
an old book on the subject. It is the
report of the Seyben commission ap
pointed by the University of Fcnnsyl
vnnla under the terms of the will of the
late Henry Scybert to Investigate "all
systems of morals, religion or philos
ophy which assume to represent the
truth nnd particularly modern spiritual
ism. The report was made in May,
1SS7. The commissioners, who were
some of the most distinguished Philndel-
phians of the time, including Dr.
Joseph Leidy, Hornce Howard Furncss,
Ur. s. weir .Mitchell and ur. James
W. White, made n enrcful investigation
into slate writing, materialization.
spirit photography, and other forms of
spirit communication und concluded that
they had found nothing which justified
a belief In the truth of the claims of
the spiritualists. The report gives in de
tail the result of the investigations.
That pnrt of it writteu by Mr. Furncss
is most entertaining rending. His son,
II. H. Furncss. Jr., who writes au
introduction to the new edition, says
that the good-humored satire of his
fnther's report was particularly irri
tating to the spiritualists and brought
down upon hltu their severe condem
nation. A more friendly treatment of the
subject, but one which admits that many
of the clnlms of the spirltunlists rest
on insufficient evidence, is "Practical
Views on l'ychic Phenomena," by
George H. Wright, an Englishman. Ho
discusses the unture of the evidence
necessary to establish the truth and
then examines what evidence there is
of the existence of such a thing as
telepathy. Then he devotes his atten
tion to the general physical phenomena
of spiritualism. This is followed by a
detniled description of mnterinlizntiou
nnd spirit photography and the meth
ods of communication with the dead
nnd tho evidence tlint there has been
such comraunlcntion. As to materiali
zation, he suys that "it is perhaps im
probable that we shall ever obtain satis
factory eidcntial records of ndvnnccd
mnterinlizatlon phenomena." nnd tlint
"we do not find nny evidence of spirit
photography which is supported by
satisfactory and decisive precautions."
As to the communications from the
dead, he remarks that although the
records may not provide direct evidence
they do undoubtedly and not improp
erly create a general utmosphero iu
favor of the possibility of such com
munications. Mr. Wright is a friendly
nud sympathetic student of the subject
evidently seeking for the truth.
Mrs.. Desmond Humphreys, who
writes under tho name of Rita, has in
"The Truth About Spiritualism." writ
ten n book inspired by nn unreasoning
belief in all of its claims. Her intto
durtion in an attack upon the Christian
Church for its condemnation of spirit
ualism and tho body of the book Is de
voted to nn exploitation of all the clnlms
of those who believe Iu it. Those who
nccept the belief will find the book to
their taste. Those who nre still seek
ing for light will find llttlo of It here.

dents of psychlenl subjects, has co
lected n group of his cssnys in J vol
ume which he calls "Psychical Mcel

spiritist, takes to the discussion of the
subject a discriminating mind nnd re

to believers and disbelievers alike, for,
whether one ngrees with him or not,
one can see that he is n man of in
