READY FOR AN UPRISING

The CarIist party in Spain and also ad-
llerents of the pretcnder who have emf
grated or been expelled from Spain are
urging the Vatican to take definite stand
upon the suggested rising of the Carlists
during the present crisis.
Appeals have been made to the Vatican
to declare whether. in case the Carlists
organize movement to restore the ira
diiional political and religious institutions
in their country, tkey would have the sup
port of the holy see and the Roman
Catholic clergy
Thus the Vatican has avoided giving
an answer, recalling the policy of the
late Pope Leo and Cardinal Rampolla,
who supported the present Spanish mon
archy when the danger that it would be
overthrown by a Carlist movement was
greater than it is now.
