ROME, April 10.--At noon today the
condition of the Pope was much better
but the weakness of his heart and his
intermittent pulse were still causing
anxiety.
The doctors permitted him to eat an
egg with broth, but the patient was
able to take it only with difficulty.
DR.. Andrea Amici declared today that
he hopes by next week Plus x will be
convalescent.
An entirely contrary opinion. how
ever. is expressed by some of those
immediately surrounding the Pope, who
depict the situation as grave. They
assert that an examination made by a
specialist showed the presence Of from
ten to twelve degrees of albumen.
Sisters at His Bedside.
The sisters and niece of the Pope re.
mained with him this morning from hall
past Z to half past 10.
DR.. Amici, who spent the night at the
Pope's bedside. said this morning that his
patient rested sufficiently well. His tenn.
perature is now little above 81.
DR.. Amici denied most emphatically the
persistent reports that the Pope is suffer
ing from nephritis. and reiterated that the
whole trouble is a relapse from his recent
attack of influenza
The condition of the Pope was found to
be practically unchanged when his physi-
clan, Prof. EttOre Marchiafava, paid the
pontiff an early morning visit today. He
had passed a comparatively calm night,
disturbed only by occasional fits of
coughing and periods of great perspira-
tion.
Better Weather an Aid.
The Pope rejoiced to see the morning
bring change in the weather. A splen-
did sun streamed in through the ample
window of his bedroom. Although this
seemed to encourage his spirits, he con-
tinued to feel nauseated and ayerse to
taking nourishment. notwithstanding the
efforts made by his own cook. StefanO

Concern for Pilgrims.
Just before IL O'Clock Cardinal Merry
del Val, papal secretary of state, entered
the bedchamber. The Pope said in
reply to the cardinals inquiry that he
felt better. He then spoke about the
pilgrims who had come to the Vatican
from Venice, and expressed his regret
that he would be unable to see them.
Cardinal Merry del Val informed him
that the. pilgrims had been separated
into groups and were being escorted
about Rome, visiting various churches
and basilicas. where they prayed for the
pontiff's recovery.
In all the churches of Rome this morn
ing special prayers were offered for the
recovery of the Pope. The faithful re-
cited with the clergy the Latin: "Oremus

Assistant Secretary Declares Inten-

Demands for definite policy for build

present condition of the fleet marked the
opening session of the eighth annual
convention of the Navy League of the
United States. which began three
days meeting in the ballroom Of the
New Willard this afternoon. Attending
the convention are more than 300 dele
gates, from all parts of the country, in
cluding some of the noted naval eX-
perts in the United States.
The first session was called to order
by Henry II. Ward. vice president of the
league, who introduced as the first
speaker Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant
secretary of the navy. 1t was the new
assistant secretary's first appearance in
Washington as public speaker, and his
public introduction to the capital city.

Praises the Navy League.

The Navy League is, l take it, an
organization which seeks to take up
the broadest kind of question in the
broadest kind of way" he continued
If any man has an idea that you
gentlemen are gathered here with the
sole purpose of giving us navy which
Will be bigger than all the other navies
of the earth put together. he has but
to look at the topics on the program
for discussion to find out that you are
interested in the great matters of
peaceful commerce and international
comfy which engage the attention of
every thinking American.
"Of course, you will realize that the
Secretary of the Navy and l have had
our hands at the helm OF the depart

known at least that ship is hollow.
and that we are striving not only to
learn our task. but to help do our ut
most to secure for our ships and for
our officers and men the highest degree
of efficiency

operation from the outside. A rail-
road cannot succeed If every passen-
ger is dissatisfied. A manufacturing
plant plant cannot = go on on unless ,n a 1t has the
townspeople. And so the navy cannot
be truly successful unless the men who
run it. from the Secretary down to the
newest enlisted man, feel that the peo-
pie OF the country are thinking about
them and giving them support.
This is not question Of war or
peace. 1 take it that there are as
many advocates of arbitration and in
ternattonal peace in the navy as in
any other profession. But we are con-
fronted with a condition--the fact that
our nation has decided in the past to
have fleet. and that war still is a
