made as clear to him as though a sign

POPE AND BROTHER
ANGELO ARE AT OUTS

Rome. Dec. 31.-The presence OF
discord in the Pope's family is re-
vealed by the recent application of
Angelo Sarto, rural postmaster and
brother are at odds over the Tripoli
from the postal authorities at Rome.
1t appears that the Pope and his
brother are at adds over the Tripolt
war. Although patriot, Plus. as
head of the church, is theoretically an
enemy of Italy. The Vatican claims
the Italian state has robbed the Pa
pacy of its territorial possession and
peace between the Vatican and the
Italian nation is only possible on con-
dition that Rome and the Roman pro-
vince be restored to the Pope.
This theory is openly repuiiated by
good Italians and Angelo Sarto is GER
tainly one. Angelo. besides denying
his brothers right to rule over Rome
also endeavored to induce him to
shake hands with King Victor when
eve they meet. Angelo argues the
case with all the eloQuence at his
command, much to the Pope's dis
comfort.
The last reunion of the Pope's fam
lily took place several days ago, when
all met at the Pope's table at the Va
tican. Conversation between the bro
theirs wandered from the Balkan war
to the Tripoli war and a hot discus
sion ensued as 10 Italy's right to annex
Tripoli. Angelo got the best OF his
holiness in the argument hut he for
feited his chance of getting from his
brother check that would have re-
lieved him from his financial embar-
rassment.
