March 3.—Pope Pius XI s reported to have said, “The territory granted to the holy see must be a state | without subjects,” in speaking of the possible solution of the “Roman ques- tion” for which negotiations, with evident good will on both sides, are in | progress. | The Italian government, to comply | with the Pontiff's desire, is willing m! displace the ancient Aurelia road and | | the railway line from Viterbo to Rome, | both of which cross the territory to be | ceded to the holy see, making them | pass outside it, This arrangement will suppress the present railway station | of St. Peter. For the same purpose all the houses recently built on this rerri- tory would be expropriated. Would Include Thousands. | The wish of Pope Pius XI to have| no subjects in his enlarged territory is prompted by the unwillingness of | the Vatican to burden itself with the | governmental machinery necessary even for a small temporal state, such as police, law courts, prisons, postal and telegraph service and banks. It seems difficult to reconcile this attitude Ql‘ the Pope with the other desire at- tributed to him, that the residences of the 33 embassies and legations ac- credited to the holy sce, together with those of the cardinals of Curia, and if not all, at least the most important of the congregations, should be on papal territory.

WILLIS, IN SPEECH | IN OHIO. LAUNCHES ATTACK ON HODVER Seeks Secretary’s Stand on Tariff, Flood Plan and Lakes Problem. CONTEST NOW PROMISES TO BE KNOCKDOWN AFFAIR Meanwhile Commerce Head's Spon- | sors Report Gain in Strength Throughout State. BY G. GOULD LINCC Senator Frank B. Willis, speaking | Iast night at Wellston, Ohio, launched a bitter attack upon his opponent for | the Republican presidential preference | of Ohlo, Sccretary Herbert Hoover of the Department of Commerce. | Senator Willis challenged the Amer- | feanism of Mr. Hoover and also his Re- | publicanism. He insisted, too, that the | country was entitled to know Mr. Hoover's position in regard to the | tariff, farm relief and the Great Lakes water diversion problem. He charged | that Mr. Hoover “views America from | the European standpoint.” “For many years,” he said, “Mr. Hoover's life was that of a British gentleman and not that of an American | either in thought or action.” A Knockdown Fight. ! Judging from the character of the | speech, the Willis-Hoover fight from now on is to be a knockdown, drag out | affalr. Senator Willis alrcady has | sought to enlist the aid of the drys | against Mr. Hoover. Reports trom | Ohio indicate that while he will have | the support of many of the foremost drys because he has always been their | champion in the State and in Con- | the Anti-Saloon League is not | to take sides formally against Mr. | Hoover, who has declared himself in favor of the prohibition amendment and enforcement of the dry laws. | During the course of his address, Senator Willis referred to the letter | written by Mr. Hoover In 1918, saying that President Wilson's hand should be | upheld in peace and in_ war, after | President Wilson had called for the election of a Democratic Congress. While Mr. Willis was taking the | stump in his own behalf in Ohio, sup- porters of Mr. Hoover in Ohio reported that from all sections of the State en- couraging reports of Hoover strength were pouring in. From the Cleveland | district came word that the Hoover | strength was more than five-to-one | against Willls, and from Deflance | County it was reported that a farmers' | institute poll showed 180 for Willis and The last territory is Willis stronghold, and it was re- garded as encouraging that 100 votes in the poll were cast for Mr. Hoover. Showing Is Important. Ohio continues to be a great battle- ground for the Hoover-for-President movement. It is recognized here that if Mr. Hoover makes a good showing in | the Ohio primary April 24, it will be | ifficult to halt his nomination in | Kansas City next Ju On the other | hand. if he fails to make a good show- | ing. his chances will suffer. | Hoover Ernxrcm\ in New England is reported here.

Unusual precautions were taken at Bolling Fleld to carry out Col.

The chauffeur of the Army machine which has been placed at the colqnel’s disposal was “an emergency driver” chosen for the purpose and also sworn to secrecy.
