ORDERED BISHOPS
 TO GIVE UP POSTS
CARDINAL VANNUTTELI SOUGHT RESERVATIONS OF SEVERAL WHOM PREMIER coMBES DI- REcTED NOT TO COMPLY.

Paris, July 12.-The Matin today says that eight days after the recall of NJ. Nisrad, former French ambassador at the Vatican. number of French bishops re- ceived an order fron Cardinal Vannuttell, acting for the Vatican, to tender their resignatons by return mail. The bishops. it is added, consulted the minister of public worship, and Premier Combes, who directed them not to tender their resigna- tions, on the ground that the concordat required the assent of the state before re- movals were enforced. Thereafter the pa- pal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry Del Val, threatened the bishops with the ter imitation of their episcopal powers, unless they came to Rome within fifteen days. This also was submitted to M. Combes, who forbade the bishops leaving their posts The bishop of Laval and Dljohn, two other bishops and three archbishops having republican sympathes were the ones designated
 The Matin further asserts that the dis. missal of the bishops without consulting the governments wishes will be consid- cred az a formal renunciation of the re- lations between church and state.
 The Matin gives semi-offclal details of he efforts of Cardinal Vannutteli to com pei the resignation of a number of bish- ops. Bishop Geay of Laval was asked to forward his resignation, Bishop Nordez of Dijohn was directed to suspend the performance of his Episcopal functions and four archbishops and two bishops were directed to come to Rome. namely: Archbishops Fuzel of Rouen Mignot of Albia. Suer of Avignon, and Ourey of Algiers and Bishops Lacroix of Tarentafz and Boquet of Mende In each case the orders were not carried out owing to the intervention of the minister of public worship. The cabinet also has formulated a protest which will be forwarded to the vatican against the effort to remove bish- ops without the observance of the govern ment's right under the concordant
 An answer has been received in the ca SC of Bishop Geay the vatican maintaining that 1t was disciplinary measure not in- tended to contest the states rights under the concordat.
