insult TO POPE
ARTICLE OF LONDON AGREE.
MENT BARRING HIM FROM
PEACE CONFERENCE.

The Avvenire d Italia the Bologna
Catholic daily, publishes the authentic
! text of the famous Article XIV in the
London Agreement made between
France, Russia and England on the
one hand and Italy on the other, when
the latter entered the war. 1t is the
clause directed against the participa-
tion of the Holy Father in the Peace
Conference; and the Avvenire SAYS it
is in a position to guarantee the cor
rectness OF the text it now publishes.
The text of the clause, as originally
published in English, was as follows:
France, Great Britain and Russia
undertake to support Italy, in so far
as she does not permit the represen-
tatives of the Holy See to take diplo-
matte action with regard to the con-
clusion of peace and the regulation of
questions connected with the war"
This was published in December,
1917. Ever since Italy entered the war.
it had been whispered that there was
secret clause to prevent the Holy
Father taking part in the Peace Con-
ference, though no one could fore
cast what form that Conference would
take. The rumor was never denied
and was generally believed to be
true.
After the publication of the above
text, questions were asked in Rome
and in the British House of Commons,
1 hn o1o hot
Interpretation than had been believed,
prohibiting indeed any diplomatic ac-
ton towards peace on the part of the
Vatican-a thing on the face of it alb

Replies Given.

In Rome the reply given was that
the London Agreement did not con-
tain any clause prohibiting any diplo-
matte action on the part of the Vati-
can regarding peace Lord Robert Ce-
Gil stated in England that a clause
existed, but that it only dealt with
possible opposition of Italy to the par
ticipation of the Pope in the Peace
Congress.
The text now published by the Av-
venire d. Italia runs (translated liter
ally from the original French):
France, Great Britain, and Russia,
will support the opposition Italy will
make to any proposal tending to in
troduce representative of the Holy
See in all the negotiations for peace
and for the settlement of questions
raised by the present war"
Lord Robert Cecil's reply thus
seems to have been correct. And the
argument of the Osservatore Romano
remains unanswerable, that, if the AL
lies intended to exclude neutrals from
the Peace Congress, that is an intel
ligible policy; but to single out the
Holy See for exclusion was an insult
to the Pope.

LOCAL SHOP BUILDING
PATENT DITCH DIGGER

E. B. Hawkins is having built at
the Jennings & Trimble blacksmith
shop on ] street a ditcher and loader
which promises to be a great i'm
provement over anything In the mar
ket, inasmuch as the completed MA
chine can be sold at small percent
age OF the price of the more ponder.
Gus affairs. This machine, the pat
ent for which ives granted to Mr..
Hawkins in July, 1917, can be opeI-
ated by one man and two horses
and is capable of handling 60 to 80
yards in eight hours. Without loss
of time the dirt handled may be
loaded ON wagons.
The demonstration machine is in
tended to dig ditch three feet
wide. The ground is to be first
plowed to loosen the soil and then
the digger is put on the soft dirt
and hauled by a team of horses.
When the scoop is filled the team is
released by a lever and the horses
then hoist the scoop to a height suf-
ficient to dump into a wagon or
over bank. By an ingenious ar
rangement the scoop as it is elevat-
ed is turned and tilted so as to dump
the dirt to one side. 1t can be used
as loader and will load a wagon
in 10 minutes.
The demonstration machine will
be completed in another week or 10
days and Mr.. Hawkins proposes to
have a public demonstration.
