continuance of relations between the
Porte and the Vatican. He says:
"Last summer the Pope, in an auto

tect the Christians in Crete. The papal
delegate, Mgr. Bonetti, obtained an au-
dience at the Yildiz Kiosk and formally
presented the letter.
''The Sultan, evidently irritated, said
in an undertone in Turkish Who's
this Pope that's always meddling in the
affairs of our state p and then, aloud in
French Tell his holiness that it is my
constant care to attend to the welfare
OF all my subjects
"The Pope, deeply offended at seeing
his plans for the Eastern churches up
set in this fashion, tried another letter
last October. This had o better recep-
ton, but was never answered, and there
have been no direct communications
between the Vatican and the Porte
