Omcers on the retired list of the army are officers of the army. members of the military establishment distinguisneo by their long service, and. as such. ex- amples of discipline to the officers and men in the active army.

SUGGEST CITY
 HALL LAWN AS
 PARKING PLACE Business Men Say the Or. namenta1 Should Be Sac
 rificed to Practical

When the common council meets ness Mems association will propose that the east and west lawns about the city hall be taken over for park ing places for automobiles. Today Col. Charles L. Gaylord. president of the Business Mems association, and Charles J. Collins. manager of the Rogers Clothing. .Co., were looking over the situation. The temporary parking place at Bank and Broad streets was filled with cars.
 "The business men discussed this matter at the dinner at Steeplechase Island yesterday" sail Col. Gaylord. Merchants in thee enter of the city are losing much trade and have daily complaints from old customers be- cause they cannot park their cars in the center of the city. The temporary parking places afford some relief but we must have a permanent place cen- trally located.
 Yesterday the business men who discussed the matter favored the plan of taking the city hall lawns. They serve no useful purpose at present and are just things of beauty to look at. Approaches could be built easily and we could park 250 to 300 cars on the lawns. We shall take this matter up with our directors and present it to the council at the next meeting"
 Additional space was being cleared today at Bank and Broad streets to extend the parking place there. The Wheeler lot at Main and Congress streets is also filled every day. The police are looking for another lot centrally located for a third parking place.

The fight for the million-dollar es.
tate left by the late Michael Caplis,
meat packer, saw its first round de-
cided in Judge Hulbert's branch of
the probate court, st. Louis, last week,
when the court decided after hearing
several witnesses on both sides that
the aged mother of the dead man is
capable of managing her own affairs
without guardian.
The will Of Michael Caplis left his
mother a $4,000 annuity, cut his re-
naming relatives off with nominal
bequests, and gave the bulk of his
estate for the erection of new Cath
olic church. The mother, wealthy in
her own right, is satisfied with her
provisions of the will, and the effort
of two children to have her declared
unsound mentally was intended to
bring about the appointment Of . a
guardian who could in her name at
tack the will In court

VINCENT DE PAUL OPEN LARGE
HOME IN MISSOURI.


Last week the Marillac Seminary of
the Daughters of Charity of st. Vim
cent de Paul was opened in Normandy
Park, Missouri The new building
cost 100000. The dedication cere-
monies were in charge of Archbishop
Glennon of StaLouis. About one hum

Bishops, were in attendance: Right
Reverend w. A. Jones, Bishop of Porto
Rico; Right Reverend Joseph s. Glass
Of Salt Lake City, who sang the High
Mass; Right Reverend =. r Allen of
Mobile. Ala, and the Right Reverend
John b. Morris Of Little Rock, Ark.
The ceremony was private, none of the
laity being present.
An ingenious classification of nuns
in general as Sisters of Faith, 4
Hope and Charity was made By
Archbishop Glennon, with the added
comment Of st. Paul: The greatest
of these is charity The Sisters of
Hope were the praying orders, as
the Carmelites; and of Faith, Z the
teaching orders, although the Arch.
bishop said that no one Of the three
classes had an individual monopoly Of
the particular virtue mentioned.

POPE PROTESTS SEIZURE
POPE BENEDICT XIV OBJECTS TO
ITALIAN ACTION WITH REGARD
TO PALAzzo Di VENEzIA.

Notwithstanding an official protest
by the Vatican to representatives of
the governments accredited to the
Holy See regarding the. action of the
Italian government in seizing in
August the Palazzo di Venezia, the
quarters in Rome of the Austrian Am
bassador to the Vatican, it is not be-
lieved that the Italian government
will change its. plans with regard to
the building.
The protest is a long document it
was issued by Cardinal Gasparri, papal
secretary of state, in the namerof Pope
Benedict In it the stand is taken that
Italy in the seizure. of the palace has
violated the law of guarantees of 1871,
establishing relations between the
Vatican and Italy, in that Italy now
interferes with the rights Of an am
bassador to the Holy See.
Against such an act, which is new
proof of abnormal conditions, the Holy
See lodges formal and solemn pro
test" says the document, which then
asks the various governments to heed
the protest and to call the attention of
the Italian government TO the irregu-
larity
