Rome, Feb, 8:15 p. m., via Paris, | Feb. 8, 5:15 a. m.—The question as to whether the Pope will be author- ized to send delegates to the peace conference to be held at the conclu- sion of the war is raised again by Count Soderini, a member of the Ital- ian chamber of deputies and the man to whom Pope Leo XIII entrusted the documents from which the history of his Pontifications was to be written. Count Soderini says that Pope Bene- | dict XV, since he has been elevated to the papacy, has always aimed at | the conclusion of a just and lasting peace. “Those who oppose his par- ticipation in the peace conference says Count Soderini, “do so for fear he | may raise the question of the inter- nationalization of the papacy, which Italy considers would involve the in- terference of foreigners in her in- ternal affairs. If the Pope took such a step he would create new reasons for a conflict, which shows obviously that such could not be his intention, as his whole desire is for peace. The Pope being an Italian and intelligent naturally seeks a solution of the Roma question independently of foreign in- tervention. His participation, through delegates, in the prospective peace conference as the greatest soiritual power in existence would exercise an immense moral influence in the solu- tion of the arduous questions regard- ing Poland, Belgium, Serbia and Ar- menia.” ANNUAL MEETINGS OF MASONS IN HARTFORD Connecticut Grand Lodge Decides Ac- tion at Closing Session of Com- munication in Capitol.

Washington, Feb. 3.—Former Ad- Jutant General Pearson of the Massa- chusetts National Guard told the house military committee today that the only opposition to federalization of the national guard has come from the war department and not from the militia. ‘It has come,” he said, “from the amateur lawyers of the professional soldiers who are trying to tell the pro- | Tessional lawyers of the amateur sol- diers that it can’t be done.” Gen. Pearson viewed the continental army plan as a hopeless failure before it started. Gen. Pearson said he personally fa- vored conscription on the theory that “behind every ballot should be a bul- let.” Ther2 were just three solutions to the national army problem, he added: First and most effective, conscription; second, a paid national guard, and third, the continental army, which was “totally impractical” he said.
