PREPARING FOR
CORONATION OF
POPE Plus X]
No Radical Changes in Pom.
tiicate Household Are
Looked For.
(By The Associated Press. J

Rome. Feb. THE Vatican today
began to resume its usual brilliance
eclipsed by the death Of Benedict XIV,
In preparation for coronation Of the
new pope, Plus xI, on February II.
The pontificate household was being
set In order and the rooms used by
the conclave during the election will
soon assume their normal appearance.
All Italy, judging from the messages
received at the Holy See seems full OF
Joy that Plus XII sits on the throne of
St Peter. All predict that the breach
between the church and state will be
healed during the present pontificate.
No Radical Changes.
Plus XII is occupied with the prep
aration of lists Of the prelates who
will surround him as the spiritual
head Of 00,000,00o persons There
are unlikely to be very radical changes
in the pontificate household since
Cardinal Gasparri retains his post as
diets appointees are certain TO be re-
instated. Z. o. ~
IAN army Of workmen was busy in
the Vatican today. re- -estAbl blishing the
offices, ante rooms and audience
chambers and the beds, tables, chairs
and wash stands used for the conclave
were being returned to the hospital Is
and colleges from which they were Sc
cured.
Within a day or two. all will be as
usual; the ambassadors will be max
ing their calls on the new pontifr and
the flowing robes of the prelates and
uniforms of the diplomats again will
he in evidence.

by political writers in the morning

view that such dissatisfaction with the

evitable.
One writer declared that the gov

so strengthened the supporters OF
northern Ireland that an almost ccm-

from the coalition was possible, fore
ing Premier Lloyd George to resign
This extreme view was not general.
Such headlines as "On the Brink"

lief. With these circumstances the
