prevented furious fist fights this
afternoon when Premier Herriot's
response to an Interpolation on the
religious question raised hubbub
OF dissenting opinion.
Shouts of the opposition and
banging of desks constantly inter-
rupted the premier during his
speech. The tumult rose higher
than ever when Herriot cited a
letter written by the Pope in 1905.
There were shouts Of don't in

President Paul Painleve of the
chamber suspended the session at
ass o'clock when 1t became ap-
parent that there was no hope OF
continuing an orderly session. Depu.
ties were exchanging bitter epithets
and groups OF deputles from extreme
right and left had abandoned their
seats to get into the action.
Herriot announced that it was
Frances intention TO establish non
sectarian schools in Alsace as well
as in the rest OF France. The order
resulted in a partial school strike
in Alsace where Bishop Ruch issued
a proclamation against the govern
