PEACE OF FRANCE
INJURED by ED|CT
--
Papal Encyclical Points Out
That Republic is in Need
of Union.
GIVES ADVICE TO CATHOLICS
And Strongly Condemns the Law
Which Separates the Church
and State.
GIVES ADVICE TO CATHOLICS
(By Associated prcss.3


ROME, February ia papal encyclical
was issued to the French Episcopacy,
clergy and people to-day on the situation
of the church In France, strongly con-
demning tho law providing for the sepa-
ration OF Chuhch and State and giving
advice to Catholics.
The encyclical shows that the Holy See
did everything possible to avoid the pas
sage Of the law which 1t terms great
evil to religion and to Franco, and out
lines the churches doctrine on the rela-
tions between church and state, adding
that in their union. France had found
throughout centuries her greatness and
glories.
Examining the law in itself the ency-
clical says 1t is offensive and repugnant
to the divine constitution of tho church
because the public exercise of worship
Is entrusted to law associations. The
freedom OF the Church. 1t is added, IS
submitted to the will of public officials
who are despoiling her of her patrimony.
The law. the document continues. cannot
fail to injure tho internal peace of France
which, especially In tho present condition
of Europe, Is in need OF the union OF all
her children. 1t concludes with cxhorting
the clergy and people to act in concord
and with generosity in defense of their
religion and to pray to God for the re-
turn OF tranquility and peace to France.

CROKER SENDS
WORD THAT He IS
AGAINST HEARST

New York. Nov. i--Senator McCarren,
Democratic leader OF Brooklyn. who has
denounced Hearst. was proudly displaying
yesterday a cable message he received
from Richard Croker. formerly leader Of
Tammany Hall, who Is now in Ireland.
The message congratulated McCarren "on
manly stand you have taken. win or
lose"
When seen last night about the mes
sage received by McCarren. Charles r
Murphy seemed TO doubt the genuineness
OF the cablegram Senator McCarren
promptly produced the original. The be-
lief Is general among politicians that the
Croker message will cost Hearst many
votes.
So confident are the Republican leaders
that Hughes will win that they are now
claiming for him a plurality OF at least
10000 I'm the counties above the Bronx.
This would. OF course, mean the election
OF Hughes by a large majority.
The odds I'm the betting market shifted

Hearst and 2Ia 10 /. Most of the wagers
laid were at the latter figure. but many
