PARIS, June 29.-Under prompting from
Cardinal Richard the other leaders of the
episcopacy in France have united in oppo-

support of the republic and new party is

return from Siberia will also visit the fleet.
The French officers will be invited to a
gala reception at Peterhof, while select
number will be received at St. Petersburg
and contingent be feted at Moscow. In
short, everything will be done to officially
emphasize the entente between the govern
ments.

accompanying them along the routes.
After several of their number had been ar
rested for trying to stop the cars the
strikers retired and traffic was unimpeded.
Many of the strikers are succumbing.

to protection" Mr.. Moreau proceeds to
