FOOTNOTES:

[2] One article only, "The Idols," may, I think, have been published in
its entirety in _La Bataille syndicaliste_.

[3] I leave my articles in their chronological order. I have changed
nothing in them. The reader will notice, in the stress of events,

militarism, and inscribes on his banner the following lines, the apology
of force oppressing weakness:

"_Den der Mensch verkuemmert im Frieden,_
_Muessige Ruh ist das Grab des
