Borne, Italy, Aug. 15.—Osservatore
Romano prints tha text of the pope's
encyclical to the archbishops and bish
ops of France regarding their future
conduct is view of the enactment of
the laws providing for the separation
of church and state. It says the time
has arrived to Indicate what should be
done to defend and preserve religion In
France.
The pope counsels against aedltloug

the stigma of this criminal law upon
the nations.
He urges the bishops to sdopt all
means within the law to organize their
forces, assuring them of the papal co
operation, and support.
"Having heretofore condemned this
bquttloua law of separation.” says the
pope, “we examined with the greatest
care Its articles to see If they permit

France without Jeopardising the sacred
principles of the church. i
"We decree the law cannot be en-!

rights of the church. Putting, there- 1

our conscience forbids us to approve. It i
Is opportune to examine If some other I

therefore he hopes to find some other
