GEN. GREELY TELLS OF ITALY
Describes Observations in Lecture Be.
fore National Geographic Society.

"Italy' was the subject Of a lecture de-
livered by Gen. A. w. Greedy, L. S. A.
retired, beforethe National Geographic
Society last night, in the New Masonic
Temple. The lecturer described a num-
Der Of observations made during his many
trips to Italy bearing upon the relations
between the church and the state. What
friction there was between them. accord
ing to Gen. Greedy, is becoming less and
less. The growing harmony is due to the
great number of Catholic public men in
Italy who have devoted their energies to
healing the breach. He said conditions In
southern Italy had been grossly misrep-
resented because OF the popular idea OF
the vast extent and evil influences OF Sc
cret societies. Although these societies
did flourish, he said. their influences We're
considerably curtailed. The lecture was
illustrated with stereopticon views from
