ALARM AND TREPIDATION,
Result of Circular Issued by Paris
Police Chief.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
PARIS, October S.-M. Lepine, the chief
of police. has issued a circular to his
subordinates. the result of which Is likely
to cause a great deal Of alarm and trepi-
dalton among the owners of small bars and
dram shops. He is making an onslaught
slot machines.
The majority Of these penny-in- the-slot
machines, it appears. are infringing ar
ticle 40 of the penal code. referring to
games of hazard.
But the new police decree goes even fur
Their. In very many of these bars are
machines. in which. If a ten-centime piece
is placed. there Is a chance of winning a
ticket which entities the holder to a drink
worth, say, three times the amount. The
odds are not in favor of the lucky number
turning up first time. but many are will
ing to tempt fortune to win three-penny
drink for penny. This particular type of
machine has long been quietly tolerated
by the authorities. Now NJ Lepine has
decided that they, too. are to be abolished
and wall has gone up in consequence.

EIGHT HOURS OF WORK
DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE Law
WITH RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS.
Memorial Adopted in Chicago Receives
the Consideration of the Post
master General.

Considerable interest has been aroused In
the Post Office Department by the action of
the railway mail clerks in Chicago In de-
claring eight hours days work and re-
ferring the matter to Washington for con-
sideration with the Presidents recent eight
hour order Postmaster General Corteiyou
has received the memorial and Will give IL
his serious personal attention. then turning
it over to the attorney general of the POST
Office Department for decision
The railway mail service is one of the
branches of the government service where
it will be extremely difficult to adjust the
actual working conditions to compliance
with the strict letter of the eight-hour
law 1t is manifestly impossible for rail-
way mail clerk to. quit his work in the
middle of a run unless there Is an extra
clerk there to relieve him and to carry two
clerks train to do the work OF one
would not only largely Increase the expense
of the service but would do little good to
either clerk, as the relief man might nave
to be on the train several hours before II
was time for him to go to work and the
man who was relieved would in many cases
have to stay on the train for hours De1ore
he could get to where he wanted to stop
Altogether 1t Is a very unpleasant sort or
problem to solve if it has to be solved In
compliance with the strict letter OF the
law. 1t Is thought probable that the at
torney for the department may hit on some
compromise in virtue of which forty Eight
hours would be made a weeks work ana
the clerks would be allowed to average up
the actual time they spent working on their
runs.
The same sort of trouble now exists with
many of the city letter carriers. but this Is
easier of solution. The carriers are nom1-
nally on duty only eight hours. but some
of them have the collections and deliveries
on their runs split in such a way that they
are really on duty much longer than eight
hours at a stretch, though they may not
be working. Their cases can usually be
adjusted because they are at fixed base
and another man can take up their work
where they leave off But in the case of
a railway clerk who is flying across coun-
try at the rate of sixty miles an hour 1t is
manifestlY impossible for him to drop off
the train just when the whistle blows for
quitting time.
The decision of the attorney general for the
Post Office Department will be awaited with
much Impotence by clerks in the service all
over the country and If he can figure out
some satisfactory solution for the problem
that at the same time will be strictly legal he
will be regarded a good deal of a Solo
mon.

THEFT OF ENTIRE SHIPS
Russian Authorities Now Making a
Diligent Search.
Special Cablegram to The Star


ST PETERSBURG, October S.-A re-
markable story published by the Reich
shows that even entire ships belonging to
the state may be stolen in Russia.
The Reich states that after the war the
ministry gave directions for the sale OF
twenty-five vessels lying In Vladivostock
harbor, among them being three passenger
steamers and eight transports.
The sale duly took place, but when the
purchasers arrived at Vlad.vostock to re-
move the ships they found them in a most
deplorable condition. all the more valuable
parts. including even the bronze door
handles. having been removed.
They further discovered that one of the
transports. the Matilda. was missing al
together. 1t was ascertaned that one day
an unknown man went board the Ma
th!lda with a crew, got up steam. and took
the vessel away unchallenged He then
painted the vessel another color and chang
ed its name
The authorities are now making a dill
gent search for the Mathilda.

LAHORE. October S.-The government has

which, If carried out, will be similar to
that undertaken by the Dutch in the Zuider

The Ram of Clutch is a waste at some

from the sea, which narrow The
water which is everywhere shallow. would
then evaporate rapidly, leaving heavy s1Iine

The application of scientific agr-culture to
the reclaimed land and the construction of
a railway linking Karachi and Bombay
would complete the proposed scheme.

The Church and Liberty of Opinion.

After a statement that the principle Of the
church Is to enforce her creed, even by tor
ture. it Is asserted that her present inabil-
ty to put her theories into practice Is due
to the fact that she has been deprived Of
the power of enforcing them by the doc
trine of the modern state, the germ of
which Is contained In the declaration of the
rights of man" That declaration which
proclaimed liberty Of opinion even In mat
tiers of religion and affirmed that no cor
poration and individual can exercise
power which does not expressly emanate
from the nation, has naturally been con-
demned by the church. The council of the
order desires to call attention to the fact
that it is those two doctrines which are
now in conflict. If well-ntentioned defend
of the modern state support the claims
of the church the reason is that they are
ignorant of their real significance.
But Free Masons, faithful to the glorious
traditions of their predecessors, cannot re-
nounce the combat which they begun. and
will strain every nerve to secure the tri-
umph of the ideas proclaimed in the decla-
ration of the rights of man. While respect
ing all forms of belief and unbelief and
claiming no part in the direction Of the
government. they will not cease to warn
the nations, saying: See where Rome Is
leading you and what she wishes to make
of YOU

THECHURCH AND STATE
FRENCH GOVERNMENT TO EN-
FORCE SEPARATION LAW.

Special Cablegram to The Star
PARIS, October SIN speeches made dur
ing the past week four members of the cab
met referred to the refusal of the Roman
Catholic epscopate to accept the separation
law, and declared that the French govern
ment would remain supreme and that the
pope could not be master in France. All of
the ministers declared that the law would
be enforced. but that the government would
not play into the hands of those who aspired
| to political martyrdom.
NJ. POncare. minister of finance. said that
neither the legislature nor the government
would allow themselves to he diverted
from their task by foreign preoccnnations
and threats of clerical sedition." The sep
araton law. which was regarded by the
ma jority of the bishops as acceptable a few
weeks ago. has since been rejected by them
at the orders of the Vatican. The law would
be applied. but the government would not
fall into the clerical trap They would per-
secute nobody and make no martyrs. nor
would they close the churches. They would
defend civil society and the rights OF ma
tional sovereignty against the church.
There no ground for apprehension. If
their adversaTieS provoked a new agitation.
the republicans would again prove victor
ious as they have always done.
M. Leagues. minister for the colonies,
said it was Impossible to tolerate the pre-
tensions of the church to place itself above
the law. The parties conducting the pres
ent campaign against the public worship
| associations We're moved rather by politi
clan than by religious considerations. The
government would exact the obedience of
all citizens to the laws of the republic.
Messrs. Moumergue and Ruau, ministers OF
commerce and agriculture respectively,
spoke in the same strain.
Masonic Views en- the Situation.
| At the annual session of the Masonic
Grand Lodge of France. just held in this
| city. resolution was passed eXpounding
| the views Of the order on the present con-
| flict between the church and the state in
this country. The resolutions sets forth
| the two doctrines. which. it says. divide
the population in those parts of the world
| where Catholicism is the religion of the
majority, namely, the doctrine of the
church and that of the state. 1t declares
that. according to Leo XIII and the Catho-
lie theologians, the object assigned to itself
by the church is the exercise of the three
ipOwers-legislative, judicial and coercive-
| not only the faithful but over the
| Catholic states themselves.
| Now, according to the Catholic theolo-
gians. those states include the whole world,
as was proclaimed by ST. Bernard in writing
| to Pope Eugenius III: "It is necessary to
seek the outside world for a place which Is
not subject to your solicitude." According
| to Father Matthew LiberatOre, a theologian
who. under Leo XIII, restored the pure
doctrine of the church. it's sovereignty ex-
tends over all nations and all countries,
pose it. because to Go would be to resist
Christ, whose domain is that of the church.
| Now, Christ is above all sovereignty and
| all domination"
