stated that Archibishop Bonzano was

that the Pope is extremely anxious to
lend his aid to any move In the direction
Of peace.
The difficulty which the State Depart
ment found in making clear the exact
intent Of the Presidents note, and the
varying statements issued by Secretary
Of State Lansing, led to considerable
speculation last night. The fact that
Secretary Lansing found It necessary to
correct his original statement after an
Interview With the President, caused
some dissatisfaction among diplomatists
who insisted that the incident dem
strated that the President and his
premier were not actlng In complete con-
hdence and accord. They declared that
II was clear that the Secretary Of State
could not speak for the President with

prove embarrassing for diplomats whose
