How RELIGION, and especially the Roman Catholic religion, is having a finger in every political pie of importance among the nations is illustrated in the following cable despatch from Paris to the New York World of September 27:— “The letter of the minister of justice to the magistrates throughout France about the attack on the army, is a warning of the coming struggle here between the Jesuits, who rule the army, and the Ultramontanes and Radicals, who wish to reap political power. General Zurlinden left the cabinet because he represented the Jesuits, and especially the Alsatian party. Indeed, it is noticeable how many names in the Dreyfus case are Alsatian and almost German. If the Jesuits win the day and Dreyfus is not released, it is quite on the cards that General Zurlinden may turn out another Boulanger, and that France will have a military dictatorship. Paris is quiet but uneasy, underneath the surface, and there may be an explosion any time.” In view of the prominent place given Roman Catholics in Philippine matters by the United States, how long will it be before the Jesuits “rule the army” of this country?
