Paris, Dec. 10.—Official conflrnia tion of the report that the pope has rejected the government's final prof fer under which Catholic worship could be continued under the common law, has caused a sensation here.

In the churcheg yesterday prayers were offered for the protection of God during the coming period of conflict.

Premier Clemenceau and M. Brland, minister of public worship, were in conference aJJ day Sunday. There Is no sign of the government faltering, but It recognizes that It may be forced to resort to extreme measures. M. Briand said today that the decision of the; pope was entirely unexpected.
