RICHARD POINTS THE WAY OUT.
Declarations Made by Layn1en Tn
 France Not Disobedence.

Paris. France.-There has been is- sued from the office of the archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Richard, an impor. tant communication which will facili- tate a way out of the present church difficulty. This communication sets forth that declarations made by lay. men relative to worship are not in dis obedience to the instructions of the pope, provided their purpose is honest ly to avoid disturbances, and admits that such declarations do not infringe upon the hierarchy of the church, as the vatican has only forbidden clergy. men to carry out the required legal formalities. This recognition of the layman's right to make a declaration will permit of the carrying on of wor- ship in accordance with the law. but iu the meantime the church officially maintains it's position of not submit. ting to the state.

DUTY OF CHURCH IS TO AVOID
 WAR, GAYS PREMIER.
SCORES THE POpE'S AGENT
Premier cheered as He Says ssere. tary ineited Revolt and Was
 Expelled.

Paris, France. - Premier Clemen- ceau, amid tumultuous applause in the Chamber of Deputies Tuesday night, delivered the ultimatum of the French Government to the Vatican.
 'If the church wishes" the Premier said. there is still time to avoid bat tie. We offer her the law of 1881, made for all Frenchmen, and, submit ting thereto. she will have peace; but otherwise, by seeking us, she shall find us
 The failure of the Catholics, at the express command of the Pope, to take oath under this law of 1881, as re- quired by the new law separating church and State, has brought on the struggle between the Catholics and the Government. Further services in Paris by the Catholics became illegal today and in other parts of France a few days will bring the new law into effect.
 The Premier's speech was made in reply to request for the reasons for expelling Monsignor Montagnini, the papal representative here from France Monsignor Montagnini was expelled yesterday and conducted to the iron tier at night.
 Premier Clemenceau said it was be- cause of Montagnini's complicity, with prominent clergymen of Paris against whom proceedings were pending, in in- citing churchgoers to rebellion. Inter ference by foreigners on order frou Rome in the politics of France, he de clared. was not permissible. The Pre- mier. amid thunders of applause, terse- ly summed up the situation, declaring that the Governments conciharory propositions towards the church had been exhausted. and that it had been decided in future to leave the onus on Rome.
