Rome. July 24.-Italy will not agree
to the selection of Pope Benedict as
a member of the peace council at the
end of the European war, 1t Is reliably
stated here. A combination OF other
nations in favor Of the pointif may

recent published interviews with his

he was quoted as assailing the Italian

exception Of potatoes and cabbage,

They Suffer Anyhow

It is doubtless necessary that strict discipline be
maintained in the navy and that the officers and
Of the cruiser San Diego whose neglect is said to
have been responsible for the explosion which caused
the death Of nine of the vessels crew. should be pun
ished, as an example to the men of our other war
ships.
None the less the public will grieve that the ackies
whose unfortunate omission subjects them to
court martial should be branded with the stigma Of
shame that the charges preferred inflicts
Their sorrow at the death of their comrades is no
doubt as Deep their regret genuine as their dis
aster- fraught neglect was unntentional.
The punishment inflicted by their own conscience
has likely been severe and Uncle Sam may well tenn
per his justice with the mercy of the father to an
