ROME, Dec, l6.
DoPE BENEDICT may request
President Wilson to consent
to act as mediator in an
effort to reach a reciprocal pact
which will solve the dissent which
has existed between the Quirinal
and the Vatican, according to the
Popolo Romano. This question
the paper states, will in no case
be brought before the peace con-
ference.
That Pope Benedict Is pre-
pared to abandon a custom OF
nearly half a century and no
longer consider himself bound
to remain within the grounds OF
the Vatican Is the firm belief in
several circles here. Many incl
dents recently have led public
opinion toward this belief.
No Pontiff has left the Vatican
