FRANCE DEFENDS
 RIGHTS OF ITALY Enthusiastic Session of Italian Chamber of. Deputies PREMIER COMBES CHEERED Premier GioIettl Says Vatican Protest Has Been Same For Thirty
 four Years-ls Vigor-
 ousIy Applauded.
PRE- EMIER COMBES CHeEREO

Rome, May 3O.-The chamber of deputies Sas crowded to hear the discussion of the interpolation on the attitude of the gov- ernment towards the vatican protest against President Loubers visit. Sig nor Mazza, republican called the note of tse papal secretary of state Merry del Val perfect insult. He recalled that the pope had not protested against atrocious of lenses to religion in France. His hol- iness had now risen against king, who. according to the vatican, had stolen the pontificial patrimony, designating his majesty as a usurper. The note therefore was a declaration of war.
 s.gnor Mazza asked the government to take energetic action to prevent the in- vasion of the church into the kingdoms affairs. The government had forgotten all pride and national dignity in answer ing the vatican insult by giving hospi- tallty to Cardinal Svampa when the king on Saturday went to Bologna The gov ernment permitted the people of France to defend Italian rights.
 The liberals and the extreme parties ap- plauded, and the galleries joined.
 Signor Guerci, radical, followed, saying that this time the vatican is not protest ing but bleating."
 signor Cabrfns, socialist, interrupting, said, Call 1t praying uaughter)
 Has Less to Fear.
 Signor Guerci continuing, said that Italy had less to fear from the papacy than other countries. Being near the vatican, she had always preparations be- hind the scenes. He complained that the people who in his career before he be- came pontiff. saw, appreciated and prof tied by Italian unity, should now as a pontiff have as his inspirer and execu- tive against Italy a foreigner, Cardinal Merry del Cal.
 Premier Giolett, who rose amid a breathless silence said that the vatican note naturally was not communicated to the Italian government. France had an- swered as she thought best. The affair was one in which Italy could not inter fere. The vatican note contained a phrase regarding the king of Italy, but the ef- feet produced was such that they must be extremely glad of the existence of that phrase as it had offered Premier Combes the opportunity to make a statement so fiattering to Italian patriotism.
 The crowded galleries rose and applaud ed for five minutes, crying viva Combes.'
 "The note contained the usual protest which the vatican has been repeating for thirty-four years. Italy had no reason to change her policy She does not fear the invasion of the considerations, as she has the right to protect herself. If the laws are insufficient, we will make new laws. The state and church must be as two parallel lines which never meet. Both must enjoy liberty.
 Tt would be worse for the church on the day she illegally interiors in the af- fairs of the state" (Applause).

 All are at one now, the sons of those who wore the blue and the sons of those who wore the gray, and all can unite in paying respect to the memory of those who fell, each of them giving his life for his duty as he saw 1t; and all should be at one in learning from the deaths of these men how to live usefully while the times call for the performance of the countless necessary duties of everyday life. and how to hold ourselves ready to die nobly should the nation ever again demand of her sons the ultimate proof of loyalty.

Highway Being Built

Doe-"Damonds and Hearts" Tonight.
Road Commissioner Scott is doing an
important piece of road work from the
north side of the Methodist church to
Capt Robertson's house, expanding the
state highway money in what he hopes
will prove to be permanent work. This
piece of road has been a source of much
trouble for years on account of the water
which soaks in from the hill to the west.
A short time ago Mr.. Scott had the state
highway commissioner, j. o. Sanford of
stamford, inspect the premises and ad-
wise him what to do He is following out
Mr. Sanford's advice. stone ditch is
being laid under the west side of the road,
the lowest point of which will be just
north of Miss Keyes's residence. a Is
inch tile will be laid to the drain from the
horse sheds on the church land, which it
is expected will drain the territory be-
tween the church and Miss Keyess house.
Both these buildings will have sewer con-
nection with the tile. on the south side
of the drain the tile will extend across
the road to a gully on W. G. Treadway' 8
land. the total length of the tile being over
coo feet. From eight to ten inches of the
roadbed will be removed and good gravel
put in its place. The tile and work done
outside of the highway will be paid for
by the selcctmen, for the town, none of
the road money being used for that work.
The amount due from the highway fund
this year is $561.
