ROME, Dec. 1S.-Now that the bin
OF separation between church and state
IN France has been finally passed by the
French parliament, general curiosity IS
aroused to know how the Pope will act
In the face Of an accomplished fact.
Fius y has been very silent all
these weary Inonths regarding the situ-
ation In France. but his silence cannot

cnurcn In France and has recently ap-
pointed special commission Of cardf-
nals TO make a study OF the effect the
new arrangements adopted by the
french parliament will have on the
church in France
Gathering information.
The commission has been gathering in
formation from many OF the French pre-
lates and clergy and is now in a posi-
ZION to submit to the Pope q report de-
falling what measures the Holy See
ought to adopt to meet the situation In
order to protect church interests IN
France in the best possible manner.
The details Of this plan cannot be
completed before the French govern
ment adopts the additional administra-
ton rules intended for the faithful OBJ
servance Of the laws just passed, an
IL Is feared here that many Of thesa
rules Of the administration viii be like
the organic articles added to the Con-
cordat after it was signed, and will

were contained IN the bill favoring the
rights of the church.
Until the next of these administrative
