NO CHRISTMAS MASSES TONIGHT

PARIS. December 24-The Associated
Press learns from a high ecclesiastical
source here that it is certain the pope will
reject the new religious law, and at an OPP
perfume time forbid the Paris priests to
continue services in the churches, after
which they will organize private worship.
The informant of the Associated Press
added:
1.-The Vatican can pursue no other policy.
Having declined to retain the church prop
erty under the conditions laid down by the
government it can only logically vindicate
Its action by proving to the faithful that
they are the objects of persecution
The republican organs regard the order
of the bishops suppressing Christmas
masses tonight as being the formal inaugu-
ration of the policy outlined above. The
Aurore says it is a scheme dictated by the
Jesuits, and that the cry will be re-echoed
by every beadle and verger in France
Yet" says the Aurore, there is not a
single thinking Catholic who does not know
that the suppression of the midnight masses

Church Will Not Finch.
ROME, December 24.-The members of the
sacred college went in body this morning
to the pope to present their Christmas
greetings. The pontiff received them In his
private library and conversed cordially
with all the distinguished prelates, espe
clally with Cardinal Oreglia, dean of the
college
The chief topic of conversation was the
situation in France. The pope said that
the church will not finch from the attitude
II has taken, no more concessions being
possible, but he hoped that the violence
and persecution would soon result in better
times.
Addressing the cardinals in answer to
their congratulations the pope said he was
sorry he had no good news for them, al
luding to the situation of church affairs in
France and said he wished he and the
whole sacred college were in France to
share the persecution of the clergy He
was consoled. however. by the solidarity of
the French episcopacy and also by the APP
probation o: the bishops throughout the
world and trusted in the ultimate triumph
of the church.
Referring to the antl-cerical demonstra-
tons in Italy the pontiff expressed regret
that so many soldiers detailed to guard the
Vatican night and day were exposed to the
inclemency OF the elements.
No Note About Montagnini.
PARIS. December 24.-An official note
was issued this afternoon announcing that
the statements published abroad to the
effect that the French government sent
a note to the powers in anticipation of
the Vatican protest against the expulsion
OF Mgr Montagnini was absolutely false.
Duke of Norfolk Will Help.

Cavalry Role Changed.

Since then, however. Germany has equip
ped her artillery with field gun as good as
that of the French and is now able to fire
three shots to Frances two. Many officers
believe the Strengthening of the artillery
can be accomplished without increasing the
war budget or materially decreasing the
effectiveness by the complete suppression
OF twelve of the thirteen regiments of cut
rassiers and turning over the men and horses
to the artillery. The argument, of course. is
that in modern warfare the role of cavalry
has entirely changed. Battles which former
ly hung in the balance until the cavalry
was launched, are now decided by artillery
and the long range fire of the modern rifle
Gen. Bonnal, the most famous of French
military writers, proposes that a third of
the men of Frances mounted gendarmerie,
who number 1900, and practically all the
horses, be turned over to the artillery. The
remaining 5000, with the exception of the
few needed for service in the mountainous
districts, he would equip with bicycles.

Remarkable Eject of Vibrations.

From time to time scientists advance
new theories Of the cause OF some OF
the miracles mentioned In the Bible.
and now the miraculous fall OF the
walls Of Jericho Is said by men of
learning to have been caused by the
fact that the tone pitch OF the trum-
phets OF the followers OF Joshua was
exactly in harmony with the sensitive
tone Of the walls. When the trum-
pets were blown they set the walls
OF the biblical town to vibrating and
In short time their foundations were
so weakened that the entire mass fell
to the ground
