Against “Les Cag- oulards” Following Disclosures.

(By The Canadian Press)

PARIS, Nov. 1B—-Premier Cam- ille Chautemps told the Chamber of Deputies tonight a. situation of “terrible gravity" had been dis- closed by the Government's inves- tigation of secret revolutionary so- otetles.

Armed mobile guards were sta- tioned about Government buildings as police struck at what authorit- ies believed to be a Rlghtist revo- lutionary c o rn mitt e e organized to seize power and apparently ca- pable of waging Wanfare on a nationwide scale.

The Radical-Socialist. Premier said the Government would ask special legislation to reinforce its ‘swift action against a secret soci- ety known as “Les Cag0|flgrd5"_ “The Hooded 0nes"—-thought to be one section of the revolutionary group.

The Chamber gave the People's Front Government a 399 to 160 vote of confidence after Chautempa pledged the cabinet to preserve “Republican order" at home and defend peace abroad.

After a. conference with Chau- bemps, the Minister of the Interior, Marx Dormoy, said "the affair- :3 getting bigger and more serious

every minute}! ‘

All ministries were cooperating in the effort to crush the organic- ation before it could take action.

Lune stores of arms and am- munition, including butt-aircraft, anti-tank and even field guns were rdlscovered by police in a series oi.’ raids throughout the country. The government was making every ef- fort to uncover the financial and political backers of the organizat-
