Pope AND ITALIAN
KING ANXIOUS TO
SEE ROOSEVELT
poNTiFF AoMlREs PRESIDENTS
FEARLEssNEss AND EMMAN-
uEL DOES NOT CONCEAL HIS
ADMIRATION.

ROME, Feb. 25.-Quite a stir has
been made at both the quirinal and
the vatican by the news that Presi-
4 dent Roosevelt will be on Italian soil
some time next month.
Both the king and the pope are de-
Sermined to see him. That signifies
that means will be used 10 induce him
70 come TO Rome, as the pope could
not, IL he would, go 10 him. King
Victor Emmanuel has never conceal
ed the fact that he is DESTROYS OF
knowing Mr.. Roosevelt. and that he
takes an immense interest In what
the president says and does.
The case Is somewhat the same with
the pope. He admires Mr.. Roosevelt :
independent way and fearlessness, and
~ the latter is always credited with
fatr-mindedness, at least toward the
Roman Catholic population in Amer
Tea. IL not fondness for IL, be is a
decidedly popular parsonage at the
seat of Catholicism. Thus. III Mr.
Roosevelt comes TO Italy, il would
seem that he must come as far as the
Eternal City.
Ii Is wonderful what a hold the vat
lean and the pope still have on for
eigners. The ambition OF every Am
erican who comes to Rome is 10 have
an audience with the holy father.
Mrs. Henry Hort of New York de-
clares that her audience was one of
the most interesting experiences she
remembers. She arrived with her lit
tie son and big daughter in her auto
mobile. which was allowed to so TO
the Cortile di San Damaso. an limo
walton much appreciated by travellers,
who, when In Automobiles, were for
hidden not long ago within the vati-
can grounds and had to dismount at
the bronze door and go on foot up the
weary length of stairs. This conces-
sion Is due TO Cardinal Merry del Val,
the papal secretary of state. who au-
tomobiles himself and thus appre-
ciates other persons feelings.
The Holt party was received in the
small throne room. The pope patted
the lads head and made himself al
together delightful.

SPAIN REBUILDING

MADRID, Feb. 25.-Ten years after

be born again, and In another Ave
years IL may rank as third-class

Spain is about TO give out Il contract
fol the construction OF three battle
ships of the Japanese Mikasa type,
thlrty-four torpedo craft and four gun
beats. These vessels, costing about
$50, 900 900, will all be constructed In
Spanish yards by British engineers.
This is necessary because OF law OF
