silence, to falsehood, or to isolation?" (L'Avenir de l'Intelligence.)--A
true picture of the present day.

melee_, Ollendorff, Paris, 1916. The italicised passages were suppressed
by the censor in the original publication.
[14] On page 26 of Marcelle Capy's book we learn how touching a response
these utterances of stalwart sympathy have called forth from the

[17] An exception must be made as regards certain voices from Germany,
among which that of Professor Foerster speaks in the clearest tones. But
we should err were we to allow ourselves to be persuaded that such

[18] This is shown by the recent establishment and the success of Swiss
periodicals which embody a reaction against the tendencies described in
the text. Moreover, regrets similar to those voiced above have been
repeatedly expressed by Swiss writers of independent mind. I may mention
H. Hodler ("La Voix de L'Humanite"); E. Platzhoff-Lejeune ("Coenobium"

(Consult the article on Free Speech, "The Masses," July, 1917.)--It is
hardly necessary to refer to the masterly manner in which all
independent persons who displease the authorities are implicated in
