Archbishop Ireland spoke at the Immaculate Concept lun church tonight on the church separation law now being enforced in France, to an immense audience, hundreds being unable to gain admittance. The arrhbishnp'a sermon was In defense of the church In France In ! struggle against the government. He reviewed exhaustively the relations of the churrh and state In l bat country during the Iaat quarter of a century. The archbishop denied that the church was opposed to the law of separation. but declared that It muni be a fair separation, carrying with it the liberty and Justice that separation mean In this country or In England or in Germany. He told of the primary cause of the trouble In France, blaming a few demagogues and agitators who have a hold on the republic. The archbishop said that this class had forced the Issue and that the people have not submitted: that they "have unfortunately not had the training In understanding and governing to defend their church against Ha opponents." He said the trouble would continue and that the church In the end would defeat the efforts of the state and come info ttie full exercise of Ha righta and llliertlea. Washington. Dec. 80. The report that Senator Prortor of Vermont was among those killed in the wreck at Senator Terra Cotta, is incorrect. Proctor was not on the train. CAR RUNS.
