FRANCE WILLING
TO FIGHT CHURCH.
Says Rome Can Have All the War
Wanted and Blames Political
Enterprise.

PARIS, Dec. 10.-The press today
unanimously recognizes the extreme
gravity of the religious issue preciptated
by the Pope's latest attitude, and many
papers predict a yeritable religious war
fare.
The governments calculations have
clearly been upset and new legislative
authority may be necessary to enable it
to cope with the situation.
1t having been decided that after to-
morrow religious services may not be
held without a preliminary declaration
under the law of 1881, the Popes order
of Saturday entails the immediate initia-
ton of prosecutions in $4,000 communes,
the police for the purpose of pronounclng
their dissolution and eXpelling the parish
priests.
Views from Various Sources.
The militant Catholics seemingly hail
with JOY the prospect of violence which
will compel the closing of the churches
with the attendant excitement of relig-
ious passions. NJ. Jaures, the Socialist
leader, processes to believe that the
Vatican has deliberately determined to
test the strength of the party OF reaction
III an effort to overthrow the republic.
The Socialist organs generally, how
ever, regard the Pope'S instructions as
being the result of the governments
weakness in offering any concession be-
You'd the formation of the cultural as
sOciatiOns contemplated under the law
of 1905. They declare that the gov
eminent now has no alternative except
to insist on declarations being made or
show the ecclesiastics the door.
The conservative papers advise the
government to remain true to it's liberal
principles, cOntending that the more the
church is intoerant and panic stricken,
the more authority it will need, proyid-
ed the government does not lose its head.
Government Is Ready.
The government has made prepare
tons to cope with the situation, but is
keeping them secret, evidently waiting
to see whether any considerable proper
ton of the clergy will revolt The cab
met, however, maintains a resolute front.
Instructions to the public prosecutors
were sent out today.
Premier ClemCnceau is quoted as say
ing: eff the church elects to have war
witness that the Vatican is like q foreign
power trying to dispute the authority of
the French government"
Says It's All Politics
Nj. BRAND, minister of public wOr-
ship, says he thinks the Pope yielded to
the opportunities of the ultramontanes,
who are possessed with 'the mad idea
that tout of disorder and civil war they
will emerge triumphant. The govern
ment now does not face revolt of the
consciences of French Catholics, but a
purely political enterprise"

the literary men of New Salem.
Besides Shakespeare and Burns, Mr.,
Kelso was likewise very fond of fish
ing and could catch his game when no
other man could get a bite. Mr.. Lincoln
! hated fishing with all his heart. But it
is the testimony of the countryside
from Petersburg to Island Grove that
KelsO drew Lincoln after him by his
talk; that they became exceedingly in
innate; that they loitered away whole
days together along the banks of the
quiet streams; that Lincoln learned to
love inordinately our 'divine William"
and "Scotia's Bard" whom his friend
mouthed in his cups or expounded more
soberly in the intervals of fixing bait
and dropping line.
Finally he and Kelso boarded at the
same place, and, with another mer-
chant named Sincho, of tastes congen-
ial and wits as keen as Kelso's, they
were always found together, battling
and arguing. Bill Green ventures the
opinion that Lincoln's incessant read
ing of Shakespeare and Burns had
much to do in giving to his mind the
skeptical tendency so fully developed
by the labors of his pen in 1S34-35 and
in social conversations during many
years Of his residence at, Springfield.
Like Ofutt, Kelso disappeared sudden
