<mask> (23 March 1839 – 6 February 1910) was a Roman Catholic priest and the founder of the Sisters of Saint John the Baptist – also known as the Baptistine Sisters. Their mission was to evangelize and educate as well as to promote the faith amongst adolescents with a particular emphasis on those who were poor or abandoned. He received beatification from Pope John Paul II in 2001 and Pope Francis approved his canonization on 26 April 2016 – a date was determined on 20 June 2016 for sainthood and it was celebrated on 16 October 2016. Life
<mask> was born as the first of five children to <mask> (a farmer) and Giuseppina Schianova at Angri in Salerno on 23 March 1839; his parents married on 31 January 1834. <mask>'s birth was attributed to the intercession of Saint Alphonsus de Ligouri whose tomb the couple had visited. A Redemptorist priest named Saverio Pecorelli assured them that the couple would have a son who would be named <mask> and said: "You will have a son; you will name him <mask>; he will become a priest and will live the life of Blessed <mask>". It was two months after the infant's birth that Alphonsus de Ligouri was canonized as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.Childhood and education
Due to the unusual circumstances related to his birth his parents sent him to a church school where he was trusted to the priests. This made <mask> dream of becoming a priest. <mask> acted in the role of a priest: he said a Mass and started singing hymns. <mask> also built an altar so he could pretend to perform Mass. From his childhood, his parents noticed his compassion for children who were in need, as told in the book Operaio di Dio ('<mask> Is His Name'), by Monsignor Salvatore Garofalo. <mask> was a mild and gentle character who was responsive to the plight of the poor. He received his First Communion and Confirmation at the age of

 seven.Studies and priesthood
<mask> – at the age of eleven – informed his parents that he wanted to become a priest and, at eleven, entered the Seminary of Nocera dei Pagani on 5 November 1850. According to Eliodoro Tedesco's Biographic Profile of the Venerable <mask> <mask>, Founder of the Sisters of St. John the Baptist, the presence of the army in 1860 during battles related to unification caused the dispersion of the seminary's archives containing mention of <mask>'s coursework. But Giuseppe Nappi recalled that <mask> was always respectful towards his professors. During these days, <mask> had a dream that Jesus Christ ordered him to found a religious institute for sisters as well as an orphanage for boys and girls. After he was ordained as a priest, he set about to make the dream happen. Antonio Salomon – the Archbishop of Salerno – ordained <mask> in his private oratory in Avellino on 29 May 1863 (Pentecost Sunday). In a meeting with Maddalena Caputo of Angri he realized this strong-willed woman who wanted to enter religious life was the motivator for him to create a religious institute.On 25 September 1878 three women and Caputo met at night in Angri and wanted to dedicate themselves to God and His service. It was with them that the Sisters of Saint John the Baptist was established. Postulants entered as well as orphans though it proved too much for the new sisters and their founder. <mask> accepted this as a trial God sent to him. Bishop Saverio Vitagliano attempted to remove him as the head of the institute based on false accusations; and his own sisters refused to open the door for him of the house on Via Germanico in Rome because of their desire for a division. Cardinal Pietro Respighi – the Vicar of Rome – said: "You have founded this community of good sisters who are doing their best. Now withdraw!"Death

 night of 5 February 1910 – felt quite unwell. He requested and received the sacraments on the following morning and after he blessed his own religious daughters exclaimed: "Lord, I thank You, I have been a useless servant". To the sisters he said: "From heaven I will not forget you. I will pray for you always". Sainthood

Process and Venerable
The beatification process commenced with an informative process that was assigned to collating all documentation pertaining to his life and documents that could attest to his potential sainthood – this local process spanned from 27 July 1930 and concluded its business on 22 November 1940. Theologians gathered all his writings and were tasked with ascertaining whether or not his views were in line with the magisterium of the faith; his writings received approval in a decree on 2 August 1942. These processes commenced despite the fact that formal approval of the cause from the Congregation of Rites – under Pope Pius XII – did not come until 22 June 1951 and bestowed <mask> with the posthumous title of Servant of God.Following this a second process (apostolic process) commenced on 30 July 1952 to continue the work of the previous process and concluded its work on 26 July 1954. All previous processes received formal ratification from Rome on 28 February 1958 and allowed for the C.O.R. to commence their own investigation into the cause. On 12 February 1976 he was proclaimed to be Venerable after Pope Paul VI acknowledged the fact that <mask> had lived a model life of heroic virtue. Beatification
The formal process for the investigation of a miracle commenced on 3 March 1999 and closed not long after on the following 17 March. The medical testimonies and documentation was submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints who ratified the process on 24 September 1999 so that officials could

 initiate their own evaluation of the alleged miracle. The medical board advising the C.C.S.approved the healing on 20 October 1999 while theologians followed suit on 3 March 2000. The C.C.S. approved it on 11 April 2000 and passed it on to Pope John Paul II who granted papal approval to the miracle on 1 July 2000. John Paul II beatified <mask> on 7 October 2001. Canonization
The postulator for the cause at the time of canonization was Sister Immacolata <mask>. The second miracle needed for his canonization occurred in 2009. It was investigated in the diocese of its origin and was sent to Rome for further assessment.On 25 February 2016 the medical board advising the C.C.S. approved it while the consulting theologians also voiced their approval on the following 22 March. The C.C.S. gave their final approval on the following 19 April and as a result could pass this to the pope for his approval. On 26 April 2016 a second miracle attributed to his intercession received the papal approval of Pope Francis. His canonization date was confirmed after it was formalized at a gathering of cardinals on 20 June 2016. Pope Francis canonized <mask> as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church on 16 October 2016.Feast
His liturgical feast is celebrated on February 7, as proclaimed by Pope Francis in Rome on October 16, 2016

<mask> (born <mask> ; February 9, 1928 – May 10, 2010) was an American fantasy and science fiction artist, noted for comic books, paperback book covers, paintings, posters, LP record album covers, and other media. He is often referred to as the "Godfather of fantasy art", and one of the most renowned illustrators of the 20th century. He was also the subject of a 2003 documentary Painting with Fire. <mask> was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame, the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame, the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, and was awarded a Life Achievement Award from the World Fantasy Convention. Early life
Born <mask> in Brooklyn, New York City, <mask> removed one "z" from his last name early in his career to make his name seem less "clumsy". The only boy in a family with three sisters, he spent much time with his grandmother, who began encouraging him in art when he was two years old. In 2010, a month before his death, he recalled that:

At age eight, <mask> attended the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts, a small art school run by instructor Michel Falanga."[H]e didn't teach me anything, really," <mask> said in 1994. "He'd come and see where I was working, and he might say, 'Very nice, very nice. But perhaps if you did this or that.' But that's about it. We never had any great conversations. He spoke very broken English. He kind of left you on your own.I learned more from my friends there." Career

Early work
In 1944, at age 16, <mask>, who had "always had this urge to be doing comic books", began working in comics artist Bernard Baily's studio doing pencil clean-ups. His first

 comic-book work was inking the eight-page story "Snowman", penciled by John Giunta, in the one-shot Tally-Ho Comics (Dec. 1944), published by Swappers Quarterly and Almanac/Baily Publishing Company. It was not standard practice in comic books during this period to provide complete credits, so a comprehensive listing of <mask>'s work is difficult to ascertain. His next confirmed comics works are two signed penciled-and-inked pieces in Prize Comics' Treasure Comics #7 (July 1946): the four-page "Know your America" is <mask>'s first "solo" work, and the single page "Ahoy! Enemy Ship! ", featuring his character Capt.Kidd Jr. In a 1991 interview in The Comics Journal, <mask> credited Graham Ingels as the first one in the comic book industry to recognize his talent, and to give him jobs at Standard Comics in 1947. For Dell's subsidiary company, Famous Funnies, <mask> did war and human interest stories for Heroic Comics, as well as one pagers extolling the virtues of prayer and the evils of drug abuse. In comics like Personal Love and Movie Love, he did romance and celebrity stories, including a biography of Burt Lancaster. He married Massachusetts native Eleanor Kelly in New York City in November 1956. The two had four children: <mask>., Billy, Holly, and Heidi. In 1961, after nine years with Al Capp, <mask> returned to comic books.He also helped Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder on three stories of the bawdy parody strip Little Annie Fanny in Playboy magazine.

He did several other film posters. <mask> also produced paintings for mass market paperback editions of adventure books. His interpretation of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian visually redefined the genre of sword and sorcery, and had an enormous influence on succeeding generations of artists. His cover art only coincidentally matched the storylines inside the books, as <mask> once explained: "I didn't read any of it...I drew him my way. It was really rugged. And it caught on. I didn't care about what people thought. People who bought the books never complained about it. They probably didn't read them." Primarily, these were in oil, but he also worked in watercolor, ink, and pencil alone.<mask> Musk, based on his work, was animated by Richard Williams in grease pencil and paint and shown in 1978. The realism of the animation and design replicated <mask>'s artwork. Bakshi and <mask> were heavily involved in the production of the live-action sequences used for the film Fire and Ice's rotoscoped animation, from casting sessions to the final shoot. Following the release of the film, <mask> returned to his roots in painting and pen-and-ink illustrations. <mask>'s paintings have been used by a number of recording artists as cover art for their albums. The U.S. Army III Corps adopted "The Death Dealer" as its mascot. In 2009 Kirk Hammett, the lead guitarist for Metallica, bought <mask>'s cover artwork for the paperback reissue of Robert E. Howard's "Conan the Conqueror" for $1 million.Later life and career

A series of strokes left his right arm almost completely paralyzed. He taught himself to paint and draw with his left hand. He was the subject of the 2003 feature film documentary <mask>: Painting With Fire.By 2009, <mask> was living on a  estate in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, with a small museum that is open to the public.

He then progressed the ranks at the club's youth system. <mask> then became a backup to fellow teenager Ben Alnwick for the final three games of the campaign. As a result, he signed professional terms with Sunderland and then signed a one–year contract extension the following year. Ahead of the 2006–07 season, <mask> made his Sunderland debut on 16 July 2006 in a friendly match, coming on as an 80th-minute substitute, in a 2–0 win against Rotherham United. He continued to remain as the club's backup goalkeeper behind Alnwick and then Darren Ward.At one point, <mask> missed one match, due to family bereavement. He made his debut for Sunderland on 16 July, against Darlington in a 4–0 win. Later that year, with Craig Gordon out through injury, manager Steve Bruce urged <mask> to push Márton Fülöp for the No.1 spot in the squad. He signed a new contract with Sunderland on 22 October 2009 which would keep him at the Stadium of Light until 2012. Throughout his Sunderland's career, <mask> continuously remained as the club's backup goalkeeper. However, in the 2010–11 season, <mask> suffered a shoulder injury during Sunderland's pre–season tour and saw him sidelined for several months.

Her professional music career began in 1958 at 19, when she approached Albertina Walker about joining The Caravans, one of the most popular gospel groups at that time. Albertina wanted the vocally talented young <mask> in her group after hearing her sing a solo. <mask> decided to halt her education to join the group. <mask> recorded and performed with Albertina Walker, Cassietta George, Inez Andrews, Delores Washington, Josephine Howard, Eddie Williams and James Herndon while in the Caravans. Her biggest hit with the Caravans was the song "Sweeping Through the City" followed by "No Coward Soldier".After eight years with the Caravans, she decided to leave after being offered a solo recording contract with Hob Records. Her first LP on the Hob label was entitled  I'll Go, backed up by the Institutional Radio Choir and includes the classics "Oh Peter, Don't Be Afraid" and "Choose Ye This Day". Other hits soon followed with recordings such as "Satan, We're Gonna Tear Your Kingdom Down", "God's Not Dead, He's Yet Alive" and the classic "Don't Drive Your Mama Away". In 1971, <mask> won her first Grammy Award for her recording of "Put Your Hand in the Hand of the Man", and in 1975, her recording of the song "No Charge" became an instant hit and her first gold record. Despite this success, she wanted to reach larger audiences and felt this wasn't being achieved with Hob Records, so she decided not to renew her record contract with them, which ended that same year. To reach more people with her music, <mask> signed with a secular record label called Roadshow Records in 1977 and released the debut album entitled First Lady. The producer of the album titled the album First Lady because <mask> was the first female to ever record on the label.The

One song, however, "Faded Rose", later became a Caesar classic. Overall, the album sold poorly, but the "First Lady" title caught on within the gospel industry, and concert announcers, DJ's and gospel promoters everywhere started introducing her as "The First Lady of Gospel Music", a title that has been associated with her ever since. The second and final album she recorded for Roadshow was From the Heart in 1978; it was poorly received for the same reason. <mask> searched for a gospel label and finally decided to sign with Word Records in 1980 and went on to win several more Grammy Awards during the next several years and beyond. She stayed with Word records for many years and recorded some of the biggest hits of her career such as "God's Got It All in Control", "Hold My Mule" (which later went viral as a Thanksgiving-related Internet meme under the title "You Name It"), "He's Working It Out for You", "Jesus, I Love Calling Your Name" and "You're Next in Line for a Miracle". She has made a name for herself in the gospel music circuit, making guest appearances on the Bobby Jones gospel show and other popular television shows.<mask> credits Albertina Walker as her mentor and "Queen of Gospel Music". Between 1981 and 1995, she received seven Dove Awards for Black Gospel Album of the Year for Live at the G.M.W.A., Celebration, Christmasing, Sailin‘, Live ... In Chicago, Go and Rejoice. She received two Black Gospel Song of the Year Awards for "He's Working It Out for You" and "Hold My Mule". She has performed with such performers as Patti LaBelle, Whitney Houston, Dorothy Norwood, Faith Evans, Dottie Peoples, Arnold Houston, Kim Burrell, John P.

<mask> (May 21, 1893 – January 7, 1964), was a major general in the United States Army. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and earned a B.S. from the United States Military Academy in 1915. In 1919 he graduated from the United States Engineering School and went on to earn a M.S. from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1923. Army life
Following his graduation, <mask> embarked on a career in the military. He served as an instructor in the Department of Civil and Military Engineering at the U.S. Military Academy from 1923 to 1924.From 1924 to 1927, he was an instructor at the U.S. Engineering School. In 1928 he graduated from the Command and General Staff College and the following year found him on the Army General Staff in the Philippine Islands where he remained until 1931. From 1931 to 1935, <mask> was a contract officer in the Engineering Department for the United States Department of War. From 1935 to 1937, <mask> was Assistant Division Engineer of the North Atlantic Division of the War Department's Engineering Department. <mask> then served as the U.S. District Engineer in Providence, Rhode Island until he started work as a division engineer for the South Atlantic Division within the War Department. From 1944 to 1949, he served as the Director of Military Construction for the U.S. Army. By 1948, <mask> was serving as the Assistant of Engineers for the U.S. Army.He served in that position until 1951. Civilian life
Following his departure from the Army, Bragdon returned to private life. From 1951 to 1953, <mask> was a construction engineer for the Vermilya-Brown Construction Company until his promotion to vice-president of the company in 1954. He returned to public life in 1954 when he served on the staff of the Council of Economic Advisors. He remained in that role until 1955. From 1955 to 1960, Bragdon served as Special Assistant to President Dwight D. Eisenhower for Public Works Planning. From 1960 to 1961, <mask> was a member of the Civil Aeronautics Board and from 1961 to 1962 he was the consultant for the House Committee on Public Works.In his

 various advisory roles on public works, within both the executive and legislative branches, <mask> was concerned primarily with four subjects: the achievement of effective state and local public works planning and its coordination with federal public works planning, the provision for a "shelf" of public works that could be undertaken as a contracyclical measure during economic recessions, implementation of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, and the development of a systematic approach to water resources development. Difficulties
<mask> encountered many difficulties in pursuing these objectives, inasmuch as his role was merely advisory. During the Eisenhower Administration, his efforts to create a statutory office of public works planning were met with resistance from the agencies and departments jealous of their prerogatives. His attempt to create a public works contingency plan for economic recessions was defeated, in part, by United States Department of the Treasury and U.S. Bureau of the Budget officials who felt that public works acceleration would not be effective as a short-run measure and that the mere existence of such a contingency plan would be mistaken from a psychological standpoint in that it might aggravate fears of an economic downturn and precipitate a crisis. <mask> also encountered agency opposition in his proposal to finance a portion of the expanding federal highway system through the use of tolls. Finally, his effort to establish a coordinated water resources policy ran afoul of agencies unwilling to relinquish authority over projects under construction and those planned for the future, and a Congress that spoke for particular groups and represented the viewpoint of the state in the complex constitutional dispute over federal versus state control of water rights. During his tenure as consultant to the U.S. House Committee on Public Works and Transportation, chaired by Congressman <mask> of Minnesota, <mask> again attempted to implement several of his ideas that had been frustrated during the Eisenhower Administration.With Blatnik, he drafted

 in 1962 a "Public Works Planning Act" that would have provided for a statutory coordinator of public works, readiness public works plans to be implemented during economic recessions, assistance to state and local governments in public works planning, and comprehensive water resources planning. Again he failed to see his vision of comprehensive, coordinated public works and water resources planning become a reality, as Congress passed instead and omnibus appropriation bill for a list of specific public works. Apparently, <mask>'s frustrations in dealing with the White House staff during his service as advisor in the executive branch prompted his attempt in 1961 to write and expose detailing the roadblocks he encountered while serving as advisor on public works. <mask> believed that the Bureau of the Budget, in making substantive policy proposals, overstepped its functions, which should have been purely budgetary. The congressional liaison staff, in Bragdon's view, subordinated ideas to political considerations. He concluded that the net effect of the obstructionism of the Budget Bureau and the liaison staff was to block the presentation of innovative ideas to decision makers. <mask> believed that a complete reorganization of the White House Staff was necessary to solve the problem.To counter-act the narrow perspective of the Bureau of the Budget and the congressional liaison staff, he proposed the creation of a "substantive staff" of expert in specific functional areas that would have screened ideas, shaped those that were worthwhile into sound proposals, and forward them to the chief executive.

<mask> is from Old Town, Maine, United States, next to the Penobscot Native American reservation.The youngest child in her family, with six older siblings, she bought a guitar for $50 at age 16. She sang and played but had no inclination to become a professional musician. After a 6-year marriage, which ended in 1994, <mask> began playing in Boston coffee houses and was "scouted" by A&M Records, which signed her on the strength of her demo tape. When the finished studio recordings were submitted to A&M, the company executives thought it was overproduced, so producer Nile Rodgers and A&M instead released a stripped-down reworking of her demo tape as the album Living with Ghosts. <mask>'s second album, Flaming Red, released in 1998, was a departure from the acoustic sound of Living with Ghosts, with a mix of mellow songs and high-tempo rock and roll

Another song from the album, "Tony", is also featured on the charity benefit album Live in the X Lounge.Her third album, Silver Bell, has a sound similar to its predecessor. It was released by A&M in 2013, 13 years after it was recorded (and well after bootlegged copies had been circulated). A&M dropped <mask>'s contract after Silver Bell was recorded, and she was then signed by Dave Matthews's ATO Records. <mask> re-recorded songs from that album for later releases, such as "Making Pies", "Mother of God", "Standing", and "Top of the World". Copies of the unreleased Silver Bell were leaked and bootlegged and can be easily acquired by the B&P (blanks and postage) method on message boards. In August 2013, it was announced that UMe planned to release Silver Bell, mixed by producer Glyn Johns, in October 2013. Four albums followed on ATO: 1000 Kisses (2002), A Kiss in Time (2003), Impossible Dream (2004), and Children Running Through (2007).In 2004, <mask> toured with Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings as the Sweet Harmony Traveling Revue. On February 6, 2007, she released Children Running Through. The album debuted at number 34 on the Billboard 200, with 27,000 copies sold. Of the album, <mask> told Gibson Lifestyle, "I just kind of felt like singing what I wanted to sing, and playing how I wanted to play. It's not all dark and tragic. It's a different way for me

He was also a delegate to congresses of the Communist International and Russia's aide to China. Following the rise of Joseph Stalin, <mask> left the mainline communist movement to pursue an independent radical politics. In 1940 <mask> was instrumental in the formation of the Radical Democratic Party, an organisation in which he played a leading role for much of the decade of the 1940s. In the aftermath of World War II <mask> moved away from orthodox Marxism to espouse the philosophy of radical humanism, attempting to chart a third course between liberalism and communism. Biography

Early years

<mask> "<mask>" Bhattacharya, later known as M. N<mask>, was born on 22 March 1887 at Arbelia, located in the North 24 Parganas of West Bengal, near Calcutta (Kolkata).The Bhattacharyas were Sakta Brahmins – a family of hereditary priests. <mask>ren's paternal grandfather was the head priest of the goddess Kheputeswari in the village of Kheput, located in the Midnapore district of West Bengal. <mask>'s father also served for a time in priestly capacity there, although the large size of his family – he being one of 11 siblings – forced a relocation to the village of Arbelia and a change of occupation. Following the death of his first wife, the elder

 Bhattacharya married Basantakumari Devi, the niece of Dwarkanath Vidyabhusan and was appointed as a teacher of Sanskrit in the nearby Arbelia English school. The couple had a total of eight children, including the fourth-born <mask>ren. <mask> Bhattacharya's early schooling took place at Arbelia. In 1898 the family moved to Kodalia.Bhattacharya continued his studies at the Harinavi Anglo-Sanskrit School, at which his father taught, until 1905. Tall for his age (eventually growing to 6 feet), Bhattacharya was strong and athletic. Bhattacharya later enrolled at the National College under Sri Aurobindo, before moving to the Bengal Technical Institute (present Jadavpur University), where he studied Engineering and Chemistry. Much of Bhattacharya's knowledge was gained through self-study, however. Nationalist revolutionary
Towards the end of the 19th Century revolutionary nationalism began to spread among the educated middle classes of Bengal, inspired by the writings of Bankim and Vivekananda. <mask> Bhattacharya was swept up in this movement, reading both of these leading luminaries extensively. According to one biographer, <mask> gained an appreciation from Bankim that true religion required one not to be cloistered from the world, but to work actively for the public good; Vivekananda reinforced this notion of social service and further advanced the idea that Hinduism and Indian culture was superior to anything the western world could offer.With his cousin and childhood friend Hari Kumar Chakravarti (1882–1963), he formed a band of

Two other cousins of Bhattacharya and Chakravarti —  Phani and <mask> Chakravarti – often came from Deoghar, where they went to school with Barin Ghosh. A mysterious Vedic scholar, <mask> Samadhyayi, active organiser of secret branches of the Anushilan Samiti in Chinsura started frequenting Bhattacharya group. In July 1905 a partition of Bengal was announced, scheduled to take effect in October. A spontaneous mass movement aimed at annulment of the partition emerged, giving radical nationalists like <mask> Bhattacharya and his co-thinkers an opportunity to build broader support for their ideas. Following his expulsion from high school for organising a meeting and a march against the partition, Bhattacharya and Chakravarti moved to Kolkata and joined in the active work of the Anushilan. Under <mask>'s leadership, on 6 December 1907 Bhattacharya successfully committed the first act of political banditry to raise money for the secret society.When arrested, he was carrying two seditious books by Barin Ghosh. Defended by the Barrister J.N<mask> (close friend of Jatindranath <mask> or Bagha Jatin) and the pleader Promothonath <mask>, he got released on bail, thanks to his reputation as a student and social worker. Unhappy with Barin's highly centralised and authoritative way of leadership, Bhattacharya and his group had been looking for something more constructive than making bombs at the Maniktala garden. Two incidents sharpened their interest

 in an alternative leadership. Barin had sent Prafulla Chaki with Charuchandra Datta to see Bagha Jatin at Darjeeling who was posted there on official duty, and do away with the Lt. Governor; on explaining to Prafulla that the time was not yet ripe, Jatin promised to contact him later.Though Prafulla was much impressed by this hero, Barin cynically commented that it would be too much of an effort for a Government officer to serve a patriotic cause. Shortly after, Phani returned from Darjeeling, after a short holiday: fascinated by Jatin's charisma, he informed his friends about the unusual man. On hearing Barin censuring Phani for disloyalty, Bhattacharya decided to see that exceptional Dada and got caught for good. The Howrah-Shibpur Trial (1910–11) brought Bhattacharya closer to Jatindra <mask>. The Indo-German conspiracy
Many Indian nationalists, including <mask>, became convinced that only through an armed struggle against the British would be sufficient to separate India from the British Empire. To the furtherance of this end, revolutionary nationalists looked to a rival imperial power, that of Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany, as a potential source of funds and armaments. In August 1914 a massive European war erupted between Britain and Germany.Expatriate Indian nationalists organised as the Indian Revolutionary Committee in Berlin made an informal approach to the German government in support of aid to the cause of anti-British armed struggle in India. These contacts were favourable and towards the end of the year word reached India

 that the Germans had agreed to provide the money and material necessary for the launch of an armed struggle against British rule. Revolution seemed near. The task of obtaining funds and armaments for the coming struggle was entrusted to <mask> Bhattacharya. Bhattacharya was dispatched first to Java, where over the next two months he was able to obtain some limited funds, albeit no armaments. Early in 1915, Bhattacharya set out again, leaving India in search of vaguely promised German armaments which were believed to be en route, somewhere on the Pacific. <mask> would not see his homeland again for 16 years.The actual plan seemed fantastic, as Bhattacharya-<mask> later recounted in his posthumously published memoirs:

"The plan was to use German ships interned in a port at the northern tip of Sumatra, to storm the Andaman Islands and free and arm the prisoners there, and land the army of liberation on the Orissa coast. The ships were armoured, as many big German vessels were, ready for wartime use. they also carried several guns each. The crew was composed of naval ratings. They had to escape from the internment camp, seize the ships, and sail.... Several hundred rifles and other small arms with an adequate supply of ammunition could be acquired through Chinese smugglers who would get then on board the ships." At the last minute, money for the conduct of the operation failed to materialise and "the German Consul General mysteriously disappeared on the day when he was to issue orders for the execution of the plan," Bhattacharya

texts: recalled. Disgusted but still holding out hope, Bhattacharya left Indonesia for Japan, hoping to win Japanese support for their cause, despite Japan's nominal alliance with Great Britain.There he met with Chinese nationalist leader Sun Yat-sen, who had escaped to Japan following the failure of a July 1913 uprising in Nanking. Sun Yat-sen refused to assist Bhattacharya in his task of organising an anti-British revolution in India, instead informing <mask> that Japanese support would  prove sufficient and his own inability to assist them owing to Hong Kong's status as a British colony, Sun's base of operations in South China. Efforts to raise money from the German Ambassador to China were likewise unsuccessful. Bhattacharya's activities soon drew the attention of the Japanese secret police, who were concerned about Bhattacharya's efforts at fomenting revolution. Upon learning that he was about to be served formal notice to leave Japan within 24 hours and not wishing to be deported to Shanghai, Bhattacharya immediately set about leaving the country overland through Korea. He tried to make his way from there to Peking (Beijing), but by this time he was spotted and identified by the British secret police, who detained him. However, Bhattacharya was able to win his release from the police, due to the British Consul General's ill ease with holding a British subject indefinitely without having formal charges first been preferred.Further efforts to raise funds for armaments from the German consulate at Hankow resulted in a further tentative

 agreement. However, this plan also came to naught owing to the size of the commitment, which had to be approved in Berlin, according to German Ambassador to China Admiral Paul von Hintze. Bhattacharya determined to take his plan for German funding next to the German Ambassador in the United States, before heading to Germany itself. Employees of the German embassy were able to assist Bhattacharya in obtaining a place as a stowaway aboard an American ship with a German crew, bound for San Francisco. Although they knew he was on board the ship, British colonial authorities stopping the vessel in international waters were unable to locate Bhattacharya in the secret compartment in which he was hurriedly hidden. In an effort to throw the British off his trail – and in an effort to obtain more suitable accommodations for the long trans-Pacific voyage, Bhattacharya stealthily disembarked at Kobe, Japan. In Kobe Bhattacharya made use of a false French-Indian passport previously obtained for him by the Germans in China.Posing as a seminary student bound for Paris, Bhattacharya obtained an American passport visa, bought a ticket, and sailed for San Francisco.

Noting the presence of British spies, <mask> fled to Mexico in July 1917 with Evelyn. German military authorities, on the spot, gave him large amounts of money.The Mexican president Venustiano Carranza and other liberal thinkers appreciated <mask>'s writings for El Pueblo.

In October 1920, as he formed the Communist Party of India (Tashkent group), he contacted his erstwhile revolutionary colleagues who, at this juncture, were hesitating between Radicalism (Jugantar) and <mask> K. Gandhi's novel programme. Close to the Jugantar in spirit and action, C. R. Das inspired <mask>'s confidence. From Moscow, <mask> published his major reflections, India in Transition, almost simultaneously translated into other languages. In 1922 <mask>'s own journal, the Vanguard, which was the organ of the emigre Communist Party of India, was first published. These were followed by The Future of Indian Politics (1926) and Revolution and Counter-revolution in China (1930), while he had been tossing between Germany and France.Leading a Comintern delegation appointed by Joseph Stalin to develop agrarian revolution in China, <mask> reached Canton in February 1927.
