There is panic In the latter place.
The favorable weather at T0ul0n
has caused q marked amell0ra-
ton. At Marseilles the police have
been obliged to use force when disinfecting
houses where deaths have occurred. The
concensus OF opinion is that the conduct Of
the clergy throughout the panic has been
admirable. Priests and sisters of charity
have been interchangeable in their eXertions,
often doing the work Of the municipal
authorities in disinfecting houses.
