Reports that the Pope would leave
the Vatican grounds have appeared
many times since the Pope lost his
temporal power. During the reign Of
Pope Benedict the question was
brought up first last June, when the
Vatican issued a denial to a report In
Spanish newspapers that the Pope
would leave Rome for Spain.

MAY ASK WILSON TO MEDIATE.
Pope Believed TO BE Ready to Deal
With QuirinaI.

ROME, Dec. 1e.-Pope Benedict may
request President Wilson to consent
to act as mediator in an effort to reach
reciprocal pact which will solve the
dissent which has existed between the
Quirnal and the Vatican, according to
the Popolo Romano.
This question, the paper says, in no
case will be brought before the peace
conference.
That Pope Benedict Is prepared to
abandon a custom OF almost half a
century and no longer consider him
self bound to remain within the
grounds OF the Vatican Is the firm
belief In several circles here. Many
incidents recently have led public
opinion toward this belief. No Pontiff
has left the Vatican since 1871 as a
protest against the occupation OF
Rome by the Italian Government.

j. l.. Garvin IN the Sunday Obscrref
points out that the Germans are now
endeavoring to break the unity OF the
associated Powers at the conference
table TO save themselves from paying
an Indemnity. The Germans arc care
full to attribute their defeat to the
Intervention OF America, and their
press is busy claiming for themselves
all the noble principles President Will
son has enunciated.
They are leaving no stone I'M
turned to profit by the rift which they
think they discern in the purposes o.:
the Allies, especially with reference TO
the freedom of the seas.
Such" says Mr.. Garvin. lis the at
mosphere OF Europe in which Presi-
dent Wilson landed Friday. The man
whose ideals won the world comes to
try them on the touchstone OF hard
fact. Never was a guest more welcome
In France or England. Never has a
statesman inspired more wholehearted
faith in the purity OF his motives or
the candor OF his mind. He will be well
coined In Britain with frank, out
spoken words betting the intercourse
Of those speaking the same language
and thinking the game thoughts.
while President Wilson has not yet
defined his idea OF the freedom OF the
seas with any precision we are willing
TO wait his definition with full conf
dence that nothing is further from his
mind than proposing anything that
would be really injurious to Great
Britain. Lloyd George defined the at
titude Of the whole British nation
when he said the British navy was a
defensive weapon.

Guarantee of safety.

THAT Is why we do not mean to give
II up. The experience OF centuries has
taught us that only with our navy can
we be sure of immunity from attack.
There can be no useful discussion on
that point. We will not contemplate the
possibility OF the victory We 80 largely
helped to achieve being turned into a
disastrous defeat. Therein we will
have tho support OF the allies who
since 1914 bore the burden OF battle.
These things will become plain to
President Wilson when he sees them
at close quarters. He has a greatne IS
OF mind that permits OF conviction. and
as the case IS very clear that as
Britain lies close 10 tho edge ot a
continent which for years will seethe
with aspirations for revenge, with
