BRITAIN TO SEND
 HOLY SEE ENVOY

Paris, Nov. >23-The announcement. that Great Britain has decided to send. a. diplomatic representative to the. Holy See to remain there during the progress of the war has excited keen interest here.
 It is recalled that when arrange ments were being made for the first international peace conference at The Hague called by Czar Nicholas, Eng proposal that 8. representative of the Vatican should have a seat in the congress. Italy took the same view and the plan was shelved.
 Both England and Italy considered that the presence of a Papal repre- sentative at a conference of the Pow CTS would be in a measure a recogni- tdon Of the Papal claim to temporal power, which never has been aband- oned by the Holy See.
 In speci1ations regarding the req sons for Great Britain,s present step it is pointed out that while the enc mics of England are represented at the Vatican by three envoys. those Of Austria. Hun gary and the Kingdoms of Prussia and Bavaria. the allied coun- those of Belgium and Russia France has not been represented at the Holy See since the Separation act was pass led.
 Another point which is brought up
 as a possible explanation of the move is the political unrest in Ireland due to religious differences. The British War Once has been making extreme I efforts to increase recruiting in Ire- Hand, but so far has not had the sue cess which was expected.
