In its present form it can scarcely hope to exist long in spite of the fact that it has possibili- ties if its weak spots are strength- ened. 3 This is the story of the regenera- tion of Thomas Trumbull Gage, 3rd., a young man whose addiction to drink is condoned Dy a doting aunt who believes he is the victim of hereditary nervousness. Before he fights his way to manhood he loses his fiancee and is accused of the murder of his chief rival for her hand. Eventually he is proved in- nocent, wins the heart of the only other girl in the story and dramati- cally declares that he will prove to her that he really can be a man. Arthur Campbell is interesting as voung Gage. FEthel Ridgeway could improve her Interpretation of her character by putting more emotion into it when Ther lines call for strength. When she declares that she will save Gage from himself she has all the fire of a youpg lady an- nouncing that she is on her way to a meadow to pick bhuttercups.

He is a Jesuit, & scholar in history and literature, for many years secretary of the Society of Jesus, and has dedicated ' the greater part of his activity to a monumental work which will con- tain the history of the Jesuits. Pope Resumes Project The Reverend Tacchi-Venturi knew Premier Mussolini before the latter assumed that office but their acquaintance grew very close when ius IX, few mouths after the ad- | vent of the fascista chose him to ne- | rotiate the purchase of the ancient library contained in the Chigi pal- ace, which was about to be bought by the Italian government. The pros- lent pope thus resumed a project which he already had submitted to Pope Benedict XV, who did not car- | ry it out because of lack of funds. The Reverend Tacchi-Venturi went to see the facista premier, sub- mitted to him the pope's proposal and concluded: “I am instructed fo your ex- cellency for what sum you would be | willing fo sell the Chigi library to| His Holine: The pret fer responded promptly: Offered As Gift “I sell nothing to the Pope.

Finally, however, his, name leaked out. The negotiations between church | and state, earried on through the | distinguished Jesuit, reached such a | stage that last autumn it was thought advisabla to set forth pub- licly the attitude of the two con- tracting parties. Thefefore two arti- | clex on the subject were published. Jn the Osservatore Romano, the of- ficial organ of the Vatican. on Oc- tober 14 and 15, and they were an- swered on the 20th of the same month in the Foglio D'Ordini. The official organ of the fascista party. Pope's Demands From these publications it ap- pears that what the Vatican asks is that the position of the Pope in Roms should he one of “liberty and | independence, not only real and per- fect, but also manifest to the faith- ful of the whole world.” The Ttallan government, on the other hand, stated that “the question the real political and juridical inde- pendence of the Holy See is mnot necessarily dependent on conditions of a territorial character.” Tt added shat it was out of the question ta| make “any restoration, even in the smallest proportion, of the temporal power which ceased in 1870 with great. advantage to the moral pres- tige of the church of Rome.” The Vatican made no reply. has been interpreted to mean that an accord has been reached on the fundamental condition in the senze that “the liberty and independence, real and perfect, and manifest to the faithful of the whole world." | claimed by the Holy See, can-be ob- | tained without the the temporal power as I8 stated in the article published by Foglio D'Ordini and attributed to Fremier Mussolinl himself. The claim to “liberty and independence” as set forth in Osservatore Romano, even it not actually written by the Pope or Cardinal Gasparri, his secretary of state, was at least dictated and approved by one of them. rrolgl TODAY and SAT.

The Italian state grants to the tory which will enjoy the right of | extraterritoriality as it has been en- | joyed by the apostolic palaces and | the Vatican gardens since 1870. The | new territory to be added is on the southeast of the Vatican gardens and includes the beautiful villa Doria- | Pamphili, one of the largest near | Rome, surrounded hy a magnificent | park more than four miles in cir- | cuit. In 1650 Innocent X., presented it to Olimpla Maidalchini, his broth- er's wife. ‘The villa was occupied in | 1549 by Garibaldi's republican troops | against the republican troops of France, the former fighting to keep | the Pope out of Rome—he having | fled on the proclamation of the Roman republ and the latter to bring him back and reinstate him as | absolute ruler., Part of the estate | was sold by the late Prince Doria 1o the Russian Trince Abameleck, whose widow still owns it. This property, also comprising an ex- | tensive park, gardens, various huil ings and remarkable works of arf, is included in the territory to he ceded to the Fope. Indemmnity Grants 2. Haly further grants to the | Pope an indemnity for the loss su tained by the Holy Sec through the fall of the temporal power, in addi- tion to the payment of the allow- ance established by the law of guur- antees —passed by the Italian gov ernment on May 13th 1871—for the upkeep of the government of the church. Hitherto the Poptiff has refused this allowance of 3 000 gold liras yearly, and the ftotal amount now, if held fo be due, wonld, at the present rate of ex- change, with compound Interest for { about 58 years,” excead two billion gold liras.
