Paris, Dec. 11-Thls is an his
toric day for France. The struggle
which began in 1880 with the BAN
ishment Of The Jesuiis ended today
with a legal rupture of the bond
which, for practically thousand
years, had united the church and tao
state, BY refusal to make decla-
rations under the public meeting law
OF 1881, public Catholic worship,
except under Schismalic organiza-
ton, ends tomorrow, Scenes in some
parts Of the county were extremely
touching. Not in years has there
been such an attendance at mass
The number OF women was espe-
clally large and was not worthy as
an Indication OF the religious indif-
ference OF the male population.
In Paris itself. although seven
eighths OF the inhabintauts are
nomipally CatholIc, in no part Of
the, city were churches crowded.
Even IL NoWe Dame, whore solemn
high mass is a celebrated rite, the
editics was only half filled The
officiating clergy read the regular
offices without reference to the IL
legal status tomorrow. Neyerthe-
less the depression Of Catholics was
manifest and many women were
moved TO tears. On the eve OF the
struggle, both government, officials
and higher ecclesastics are resisting
the advice Of the Incorporate The
minister of public worship AN
nounced that the government Can
not be driven into the trap Of clos
