Thatcher, Greene avenue. About fifty members were present and by their cordial appreciation of the entertainment provided and the social enjoyment afforded gave evidence of the wisdom of the society in departing from the more formal meetings in the church parlors.

February 21 The Board of Supervisors of Nassau County this afternoon granted the franchise of the Nassau County Street Railway Company. This company is formed by the residents of Sea Cliff and others interested in operating a trolley system from Sea Cliff village to the Long Island Railroad Station, a distance of about one and a half miles.

The granting of this franchise Is a decided victory for the sea Cliff residents. They were opposed by a few property owners who wished to keep the trolley off of Twelfth avenue. The franchise gives the company the right to build Its line on any county road between the railroad depot and Sea Cliff, along the proposed route. It Is understood that the Long Island Railroad Company will operate the line. A COMPLIMENTARY DINNER.

One Hundred and Fifty fifth street and Amsterdam avenue, where a dinner will be tendered to James J. McCormick and, incidentally. a boom started favoring him as McAvoy's successor In the leadership. Three years ago Mr. McAvoy.

who is the neighbor anc protege of former Corporation Counsel Whalen, defeated William E. Stlllings for the leadership, and since then the Democrats of the district have been more or less split up into factions. James J. McCormick, who is the standard hearer of a large organization that was organized in ISM and now has a hig membership, has frequently been spoken of as a likely man to unite the Democratic forces in the district and to lead them to victory, and to night's dinner will be the first move to bring him forward as a candidate for the leadership. Mr.

McAvoy will not bo present and Mr. Whalen Is not expected to attend. Former Senator Charles L. Guy will be toastmaster and the speakers will include Lawyer Fred B. House.

Michael Lally. the standard bearer of a big association, and William H. Barnes. The Fire Department will he represented by Battalion Chief Eugene F. Terpenny and the Police Department by Captain England and Sergeants Leahy.

Frank Morris and Patrick McGur. Plates will be laid for about 150, and the list of ticket holders includes the names of Assistant. Postmaster Edward M.Morgan, president of the Sterling Republican Club and Herann B. Wilson, a prpmlnent member of the Liberal Republican Club of Washington Heights. The committee in charge of the arrangements consists of Thomas J.

Quinn of the Department of Street Openings; William H. Barnes, Edward Glea son and Eugene F. Terpenny. The dedication services the new Alex Continued Hilaire Belloc's Study The Enigma of Hilaire Belloc, author of "Danton," published in 'his country two or three years ago, has followed that brilliant monograph "with a study of Robespierre, the other great figure of the same tremendous epoch. The "Danton" made the "Robespierre" inevitable.

One man cannot be studied without con sidering the other; both are component parts of one great whole. The second book, while in no sense a sequence or continuation of the first, really belongs with It. The student of the French Revolution, having read the prose epic of Carlyle, will take these two books together, and if he have at his elbow the memoirs of Barras, together with Na poleoa's expressions of opinion with reference to the men and times of the revolution, he will be fairly well equipped for a philosophical Inquiry into the characters and achievements of the great figures in that mighty drama. Viewed through the perspactive of history, it may be that Robespierre bulks largest on the stage; a closer scrutiny, however, will show that Danton was the grander and simpler character; will prove, indeed, according to our author, that Robespierre had RoTjespierre. (Prom a Reputed Portrait by Greuzo in the Possession of Lord Rosebery.) about him none of the qualities that make I for greatness.

Indeed, Mr. Belloc will have it that he was absolutely mediocre. How with so slender an equipment he rose to I such a lofty position it is the especial purpose of this book to tell. The world has long been accustomed to regard Robespierre as a monster of iniquity, a vampire battening on the blood of innocent victims crowded by the cartload into the jaws of the guillotine; in popular estimation he epitomizes that saturnalia of horror, and hate, and hysteria, and blood which men have denominated "The Terror." The bad eminence of sending Danton to the knife has by common consent been accorded him. Men have eupposed that his fall was due to revolt that Paris was sick of blood; we are told in this book that, on the contrary, it was due to tho fact he was striving to arrest Tt.be "Terror" and put a stop to wholesale executions.

Further, that his share, in the slaughter of Danton was one of acquiescence and not of" aqtivlty that he was moved to consent thereto because he feared Danton Would compass the glory of doing what he, Robespierre, was ambitious to do to wit. stop the executions both in Paris and in France and restore peace to the people. Furthermore, that Instead of rising to the position he achieved through the force of native abilities, he was really pushed up into the place through the operation of circumstances outside of himself and to which he contributed only in a very slight degree. In other words, instead of being a political genius of supreme might and malevolence, he was, as already stated, mediocre in character and attainments, and his mental caliber was that of a provincial lawyer the avocat of Arras. But along with this meager equipment there went certain mental qualities which helped him onward.

What those qualities were, the part which they played in the makeup of the man and in the things he accomplished, it is the business of our author to lay before his readers. Interesting though the study of Robespierre may be to the historical student, Mr. Belloc has not found him attractive. "To explain that man he says, "is all I have attempted. It has been so difficult that it has provided the occupation of two years.

Now that the work is over I could almost wish that instead of wandering in such a desert, it had been my task to follow St. Just and the wars, and to revive the memories of forgotten valor." There is nothing either in tho character or the career of Robespierre to arouse enthusiasm. Our author calls him essentially a man of the old regime. Personally he was very correct and particular in his dress. Alone of the group or Terrorists he paid attention to the matter of clothes.

He was always well dressed. There was nothing of the "sans culotte" about Robespierre. He came of a family that while it was not noble was well born. The men of his race were the lawyers and notaries, the town clerks and the officials of the communities in which they dwelt. There is a tradition of some value our author tells us, that gives an Irish origin to the family, and which says they were refugees from Catholic persecution by the English authorities at the close of the sixteenth century, and the theory is advanced that the name originally was something like "Robertspeare." This tradition as to their being Catholic refuges receives some support from the fact that the family were always favored in ecclesiastical circles.

Robespierre was born in his father's house, in Arras. May fi, 1758. His father was a lawyer, as his grandfather had been before him. and the son succeeded to the family business. He was.

educated in Paris, and it. was to the good offices of the church authorities of Arras that he owed his scholarship in the University of Paris. He completed his course, returned to his native town, took up the family profession, and achieved a degree of success that was satisfactory. It furnished a fair competence and enabled him to maintain the position in provincial society to which the family had been accustomed. When he came to adult years, the philosophy of Rousseau, as expressed in the "Contrat Social." dominated French philosophy.

Robespierre believed in it with the unquestioning faith with which he took all things that became a part of his intellectual makeup. The thing he believed in was accepted with a degree of absoluteness that left no room for even the shadow of a doubt. This was one of the peculiarities of his mental equipment and one which in our author's view accounts for some things In his career. The psychological analysis which Mr. Belloc gives is one of the most brilliant and most profound things in the book.

He leads with It instead of waiting till the end. First he portrays the man, outwardly and inwardly: then describes the events in which he had a share, and shows how the characteristics already outlined influenced his actions. Let us note the portrait he draws of Robespierre. "A figure slight but erect and sufficiently well filled, a little dainty and always exquisitely fttted, not disdainful of color hut contemptuous of ornament, he maintained to the end those externals which had been the enamel of the old society. We must aee his small, set and pointed, but open and omewhat lifted, face developing in thecourse of a stress for which he was not made and which a nascent ambition could alone compel him suffer, some growing nervousness of manri His pale complexion upon whose temples and forehead the veins would show, his blond, gray green, short sighted, luminous bat weaieiins eyes, his lias compress of Robespierre, the French Revolution ed and thin, but often set to an expression of advance or attention, his large, retreating forehead, his reserve of gesture all these form the expression of which a voice somewhat high and tenuous, but not without attraction, was the organ.

"He passes up the Revolution as in his physical gait he passed up the gangway of the parliament; rapidly but not over decidedly; lacking, apparently, the power of controlling others, but with the constancy of altitude that proceeds from flxtd limitations and with a singular fixity of carriage. A man with all this, absorbed In the effort after form, possessed of a considerable literary ambition, pale, insufficient, exact, laborious, he does not seem much more than the successful and locally prominent county lawyer, a trifle pedantic, but enjoying a sound connection of Justly admiring and somewhat unimpressive friends: one that, entering politics, might draft or criticise, that could hardly attract a general observation. "This he should have been, and such things he should have done. What did he? "He held first a group, then a great political machine, then a sovereign assembly, and at last a nation, attentive. He became the title and the.

front of the republic; the kings regarded him; he put some fear into the priests; the armies converged upon his tcne (Copyright. Charles Kcribners Sons.) Hilaire Belloc. Author of "Robespierre," "Danton," "Paris," etc. ment; the general run of European society stood aghast at his supposed enormiUes: the most generous, the most practical, trie most violent of the great reformers alike insisted upon his bearing their standard. Whence did this astonishing contrast between his native, probable career and his actual fate proceed? It proceeded from the fact that his character contained a something which the special nature of the time craved, which it insisted uron and would not abandon." This something says our author was but one factor in his whole temperament and might have laid dormant and atrophied had it not been for the extraordinary circumstances which called It into activity.

It is to the discovery of this hidden part of him that our author's effort is devoted. At times it seems as if he found him more than puzzling; that with all his penetration and insight he is not quite able to solve the enigma. How could a man rise so high, seem so strong, and at the end be overthrown with the push of a finger? The records show that while he was a member of the Committee of Public Safety who initiated and compelled "the Terror," he signed very few of the lists of the condemned. He was so constituted that those who differed from him were to his vision absolutely beyond the pale of redemption and deserving only of extreme treatment. In none of his instincts was he brutal; he lived always modestly, in a quiet family circle whose members worshiped him.

His private character was above reproach. Public attention was first called to him by his insistent iteration and reiteration of the maxims of Rosseau things which he believed absolutely, and the Parisian public believed with him. He echoed and put into words the vaguely formulated ideals of their own beliefs; hence they accepted him as great, for he voiced their own minds. We see him In the early days, when, in May, 1789, he went up to Versailles, a delegate from Arras to the National Assembly: we follow him through the initial months of that body, making no figure, heard a little, gradually coming to be known by reason of some speech or resolution offered, slowly reaching a place which attracts some attention, but giving no evidence of the possession of commanding abilities or of a quality for leadership. He belongs to the radical group, but for the most part he seems to be lost in the crowd.

When the Paris Commune visits Versailles on a certain memorable occasion, and its representatives come before the Assembly. Robespierre advocates their claims. It is then that Paris, who was to take him to its bosom and make of him all that he became, first knows its idol. It is when the Assembly removes to Paris and becomes the convention that Robespierre begins to develop. He finds his first real hearing in the hall of the Jacobins; he becomes the president of that body.

It is the lever which lilts him into power Necessarily, it is impossible in this place to follow the author of "Robespierre" through the multiplied pages of his analysis of this strange character. It is brilliant, it is fascinating; at times one's breath almost pauses as he carries some figure, some comparison step by step to the heights of eloquence. Again it seems as if the tenuous thread would hreak and that there would follow a plunging fall, but it never happens. Belloc is an idealist: in no sense is he a historian; indeed, he portrays the Revolution itself onlv so far as it becomes a part of Robespierre: but' his analysis is so subtle and yet so revealing that he seems to lay bare the inner character of the man at a stroke. Yet.

when all is done: vhn we have followed his delineation step by step. through the years of the Revolution, hnvc witnessed the part he bore in the overthrow of the Girondins. of the Hebcrtists. and his share in the fall of Danton; through those final four months that closed with the lurid light of the nth Thermldor, still there remains the haunting impression that the enigma which this man presents is not solved, that Robespierre is still unexplained. In his closing paragraphs our author says: "In closing this hook I turn again to himself.

I remember his grave for a moment. His bones, buried in a vague field of the suburbs, forgotten beneath the dancing floor of a common hall, were insulted for twenty years till they were disturbed by the pickax in the driving of a road for the rich, and no one knows where they lie. "I return, also, to the memory of the jejune, persistent mind which has haunted me throughout the description of his fortunes I fear I have done him a wrong. Such men may be greater within than their phrase or their vain acts display them. I know that he passed through a furnace of which our paltrv time can imagine nothing, and I know that "throughout this trial he affirmed with monotonous inefficiency, but still affirmed the fundamental truths which our decadence has neglected or despised, and is oven in some dens beginning to deny." So we see that even the brilliant author of "Danton" bas not answered the puzzle of Robespierre to his own satisfaction.

Napoleon regarded him as a great man: but then It was the younger Robespierre that gave the Corsican his opportunity at Toulon. Perhaps ihe best answer is that, like Napoleon himself, he was the uncxplainable product of a time the like of which the world had never soon. But the book is superb; Hilaire Belloc is doing a work the like of which has not been seen In English literature since the days of the eighteenth century essayists.
