Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME, June 23.-Pope Plus x Is de-
veloping policy Of 'irreconcilability' so
far as the Quirnal is concerned. When his
holiness was patriarch of Venice he was, OF
all the Italian prelates of high rank, the
one who was on the most friendly footing
with the Italian authorities.
The latest proof of the popes attitude to
the Italian government was given when
he sent a severe reprimand to certain pre-
lates (there were even some cardinals
among them) who had attended the dinner
given by the United States ambassador in
honor of Archbishop Ireland. The reason
for this Is that the American ambassador
is accredited to the Quirinal, and not to
the Vatican. 1t is comprehensive that in
the case of countries like Spain and Aus
tria, where two embassies exist, one &C
credited to King Victor Emmanuel and the
other to the pope hard and fast rule
is made; but the United States never did
accl edit an ambassador to the Vatican
The Italian government, on the other
hand, is said to be trying to adopt policy
of generosity toward the church The
latest proof of this is that the Italian law
courts have decided that a cardinal, as
prince of the church, takes precedence OF
everybody except the princes of the blood
This question came up In connection with
the notorious Murri case. Cardinal Syampa
was called as witness, but invoked his
princely rank and demanded that the court
should come to his palace to take his evil
dence His right to do so has now been
upheld by the supreme court, which de-
clared that cardinal takes precedence
even of the knights of the Order of An
nunziata who are called cousins OF the
king" and have the right to address him
by the familiar thou" II cardinal
should visit the court he would have to be
received with the military honors paid to
prince of a reigning house.

True love Is but a humble. low-born thing,
And has its food served up in earthDwsre.

"To Love and to Cherish

How fine the words sound on the lips of

What did the inventor of the phrase in

simply in the interests of rhythm and bal

Thrilling scenes are marking the progress

aroused the mistrust of the electors.

was worse than that evoked by the an

former whole masses. Therefore, prefer
ably only such men were returned to the
