ITALY'S RELATIONS
WITH POPE AT EASE

Rome, March 30.-The Giornale D.
Italia says it considers futile the. dis
cussion regarding alleged private nego-
tiaticns between the Vatican and the
Italian government concerning the stat.
us of diplomats accredited to the Holy
See In case Italy joins the war.
The paper reproduces the law gov.
erning the prerogatives of the pope
and the diplomats accredited to him to-
gether with the debate in parliament
when the bill was passed to prove that
it was designed to cover only times Of
peace.
The prudence Of the men ruling Italy
and those residing at the Vatican, the
paper says, renders supernuous any
discussion. In times of war, it declar-
ed. the Italian government would not
hesitate to remove hostile ambassadors
accredited even to the Vatican without
in 80 doing, however, attempting to in
terfere with the independence of the
pontiff while the Vatican certainly
would not create difficulties for ltaly
in time Of war.

CHARGES
QUICKLY DENIED

London, March 30-A semiofficial
statement issued at Petrograd, says a
dispatch to Reuters Telegram Co., de-
sined to controvert the Germans con-
tentions that the assault on Memel was
an attack on an unfortifled town, again
reviews the fighting, which is said to
have preceded the occupation, and de-
clares:
"The inhabitants of the town treach-
erously took part in the fighting, COM
polling the Russians to adopt excep-
tional measures which were unavoid-
able under the circumstances"
The statement enumerates violations
of the laws of war which Russia
charges against Germany and declares
that under the circumstances the lat
ter country has no right to make &C
cusations against the Russian troops.
