Archbishop's Sermon in Disfavor at
Vatican.

Vatican.
The local press OF Rome has pub
lished the summary which appeared in
the Paris Matin Of the statement is
sued by Archbishop Island, Of st. Paul.
on the France-vatican conflict. This
summary has not found favor with the
vatican authorities. as 1t blames the
French clergy. who are praised by the
pope. The osseFvatore Romano says
this summary should be accepted with
reserve as coming from an infected
source. and explains that the corre-
spondent of the Matin in New York
may have misunderstood the archbish-
op.
In spite Of the denials OF the French
government that II has made any re-
ply regarding the vatican's protest to
the powers on the subject Of expulsion
from France Of Mgr Montagnini, un-
I'll recently secretary of the papal
nunciature at Paris, the vatican has
been positively informed that M.
Pichon, the minister of foreign affairs
for France, has made verbal state
ments in answer to this protest to sew
eral diplomatic representatives at Par
is and that he telegraphed the min
ister's communication to their respect
i've governments.
According to the vatican's authority
M. Pichon said that Mgr. Montagnini
had no diplomatic standing; that the
papers sequestrated at the nunciature
were unimportant, the important doc.
uments having been removed pre-
viously, and as the French government
had not allowed the papal nuncio to
correspond with the French bishops
much less could 1t permit Mgr. Mon.
tagnini to do so.
The vatican now declares with au.
thority that the statement that docu.
ments were removed from the nunci.
ature before that building was search
ed is unfounded and calculated to de-
ceive, and AYERS that it did not ema-
nate from the vatican, but from ths
French government.
