himself without money. Once when he had
come to Rome he was without a cent and
did not know where to turn. He was finally
Obliged to borrow $500 from a bank. and

Cardinal Sarto what he would do If made

He seems to have been sincere In think

fleet, concentrated at Lagos. Portugal, Is
imposed the task Of finding either Admiral

squadron before they are able to effect a
junction, and defeat whichever is discover
ed first before the other comes to Its as
sistance The operations cease at noon Au-
