VATICAN RICH IN

NeVEt State to Take Place
 Among World Nations

Washington, D. C.. Feb. 26-The to take its place among the nations of the world. as result of the treaty between Italy and Pope Plus. is the subject of bulletin from the Washington. D. c. headquarters of the National Geographic Society.
 "Although the smallest existing entity with an international status" says the bulletin. "'The City of the Vatican embraces within its limited boundaries the worlds largest and one of its most beautiful churches; many of it's rarest and costliest art treasures and books: and has as it's capitol the most extensive and probably the best known pslace 'n existence. In addition tre new state is ruled over by the Pope. to whom hundreds of millions of people in all parts of the world look as their spiritual leader.
 Home Older Than Christian Era
 "The name. Vatican. is believed to have come from an old Etruscan settlement, Vaticum. on the right bank of the River Fiber. At any rate in Roman days before the Christian era, this district was , known as Ager Vaticanus, and as the years passed the name came to be attached specifically to Vatican Hill or Monte Eaticano. The region was not considered to be portion of ancient Rome. but was recognized as district apart from it.
 Between Vatican Hill and the river. a distance of perhaps half mile, is a level area. It was there that Nero had his circus, in which St. Peter is said to have been put to death. The body Of the Apostle is reputed to have been buried near the foot of Vatican Hill. and over the spot now rises the majestic l}a silica of St. Peter. the worlds larg- est and perhaps its most famous church.
 "The region of the Vatican-the tomb of St. Peter-began to play a part in the Catholic faith about 90 A. D. when a mall oratory was built near by. But pagan influences were still in the ascendancy in the gen. eral region and remained so even after Constantine built the first Basilica Of St. Peter in SIS. A little later convents. chapels and churches began to spring up in the surround ing district. and it became definitely Christian.
 Vatican Hill Bought in Middle Ages ''rhe fine hili behind St. Peters did not come into possession of the church until the middle ages when church until the Middle Ages when the Popes bought portions of its slopes, and finally acquired the rn- tire eminence.
 After the right bank of the Tiber took on a Christian character. and the tomb of St. Peter gained in i'm portance. a residence was built near the Basilica and was occupied from time to time by the Popes. The pom tiffs continued to live, however. in the Lateran Palace across the river and the city from Vatican Hill. "St. Peter's and its neighborine buildings were pillaged by the Sara.

Directly depen- dent upon this first lien on all the German resources is the question ol transforming future payments, when their amount Is determined into ne- gotiable bonds.
 Although this commercialization of the reparations is possibly oi greatest importance to America, Europe considers 1t secondary to other problems involved.

PLENARY SESSION OFF TILL MONDAY

Paris, Feb. 2e R-Three sub- here to solve the German repara- tions problem will attack different aspects Of the question during the rest of the week.
 Probably next Monday-or at the call of Chairman Owen D. Young they will meet in plenary session again and report what they have found.
 One of these sub-committees will consider commercialization of the German reparations debt, factor in the settlement which is bound close- ly 10 possible elimination of the transfer protection clause. This com mittee is headed by Lord Revelstoke, British banker.
 The second of the sub-committees is Investigating that proposed lesser part of the German annuities which will be subject to the transfer pro- lection clause and hence not avail able in the commercialization pro- ject. Sir Josiah Stamp. also of Great
 
 committee. It probably will report on the formation of q committee of foreign membership which the Ger mans could consult if they found it necessary to invoke the protection clause.
 Perkins Heads Thirtl The third subcommittee is head ed by an American. Thomas N. Per kins. alternate for Mir. Young. and will deal with deliveries in kind. Some regard this as one of the most important aspects of the separations problem.
 Among the points which this sub- committee will have to thresh out is whether payments in kind should be continued. or if they are not detri- mental to French industrial and commercial interests and if so whether they should be suppressed completely or gradually. Up to this time it is known the question of amounts of the annu- ities. or of the total of separations. or of the extent over which the an- nuities will be spread has not come up before committee sessions. How ever. observers stress that much of the groundwork for discussion in terms of figures has been laid and that this itself will como just al soon as the committee is ready for it.

cens in S47 and immediately after ward Pope Leo W inclosed the church and the Vatican property by . high. fortified wall. The Vatican then became the fortress citadel of tho Popes, and on several occasions it was necessary to resist siegas there.
 ''The Vatican buildings were add ed to. and by 1900 an extensive pal ace had arisen. Soon came the tenn porary removal of the Papacy to Avignon. France. During the 70 years of the exile the Vatican Pal ace fell into disrepair. Its restora. ton was begun when tho Popes again took up their residence in Rome in 1878. After few years the Vatican became the regular Papal residence and has remained such ever since.
 ''The territory of the new City of the Vatican is to be only q little larger .han the present Vatican grounds. It Is slightly more than . half mile across from east to west. and slightly less than | half mile across from north to south. The rew state thus covers about a quar- ter of a square mile. or. very rough- ly. in the neighborhood of 160 acres.
 Palace of 1000 Rooms
 'The Vatican Palace which ex- tends northward from St. Peters contains approximately 1000 rooms. The outer walls of the buildin.s in close more than 13 acres of ground; :; and the actual buildings. exclusive of interior courts, cover seven and q half acres. Much of the palace was not intended to be a residence and has never been used. Hun- dreds of the rooms are given over to art objects and constitute the Vatican Museum. housing one of the worlds most remarkable collections. The Vatican library. filling numer- ous other rooms, is also one of the outstanding libraries of the world. Only about 200 of the rooms are used by the Pope. his officials. guards. clerks and servants.
 One of the small additions to the territory Of the Vatican will probah h. ly extend the grounds on the south. west a hundred feet or so to an ex- isting railway. Then a station, es- abolished just outside a gateway. will make it possible for diplomats accredited to the Vatican City and distinguished visitors. to step direct- ly on to soil of the new state.
 Like some of the states of Ger many. the new Vatican state has scattered fragments of territory un- der it's sovereignty. One Is the Can- celleria Palace, about a mile from the Vatican. in the heart of Rome. It was built in the fifteenth century from stones taken from the Colos- scum. and is the residence of an i'm. portant ecclesiastic. the Cardinal. Vicar of Rome.
 Scattered Territories of New State Most important of the scattered fragments is the Lateran Palace and the Church of St. John Lateran on the eastern edge of Rome. It was In this palace that the treaty recog- nizing the existence of the new state was signed. The existing I.ateran Palace is relatively new. but on its site was the first home of the Popes, presented to them by Emperor Con- stantine. in SIP. following his con- version to Christianity. Nearby rose the Church of St. John Lateran. The present church structure Is also rel

The above instructions apply only TO

OILY in accordance with instructions Is

any existing instructions regarding &C.

clarity the conditions under which Of
ncers and enlisted men Of the Naval Re-
serve may be ordered to active duty.
A method for promoting officers OF
the volunteer Naval Reserve has been
approved by the Secretary Of the Navy,
1t was announced. The letter says that
In order that the relative position OF
Naval Reserve officers may be main
tained on the combined precedence list
established July /. 1928, it is recon-
mended that the Naval Reserve regu-
lations be so modified that a volunteer
officer will become eligible for promo

him on the precedence list. It Is further
provided that no volunteer oficer MAJ
be considered eligible for promotion
until the feet officer next preceding him

from the Navy Department received
