Bishop Suggests Idea.
A good bishop-Msgr Marcolino
Benevents of the diocese OF San Juan,
on the Argentine side Of the Andes, in
furtherance of q religious exhortation
contained in an encyclical of Pope Leo
XIII, dated November /, 1900 (called
the "Tametsi," quoting John ni.32:
And, If be lifted up from the earth,
I will draw all men unto Me"), pro-
posed in q pastoral letter the erection
upon q mountain within his see OF q
statue to symbolic the conservation
OF q large portion Of mankind to the
founder of Christianity and their duty
ito adjust their political differences,
and arrive at that mutual understand
ing which is the very essence Of an en-

of the Universal Peace Society, and
president of the Christian Mothers
Association of Buenos Aires-to whom
the principal credit goes for carrying

into execution the bishops brave idea.
Early in 1903 series OF peace pacts
and boundary treaties between Argen-
tina and Chile was concluded in
Buenos Aires and the presence of the
Chilean commission was the occa-
sion for great public celebrations. BY
one Of these treaties both nations
agreed ito submit to arbitration all
questions Of whatever nature or from
whatever cause which may arise be-
tween them, not affecting the consti-
tutlons OF the one or the other" BY
another-the first treaty in history,
apparently, stipulating the renuncia-
tion OF war vessels already ordered and
initiating q naval ''holiday"-both
governments agreed ito cease and de-
sist from making new naval acquisi-
tions agree to reduce their re-
spective fleets until they arrive
at an understanding which shall es-
tablish just balance Of strength be-
tween the said fleets" Sonora de
Costa suggested to President Roca
that the conclusion of these memora BILE
treaties. terminating a period of acute
international tension between the
neighboring republics, should be COM
memorated in perpetuity by the erec-
ton of the statue on the mountains
Gus common boundary line, and her
suggestion was finally accepted.
The model adopted was the work of
Mateo Alfonso, a young Argentinian n,
and 10000 pesos was contributed by
tn government of Argentina toward
meeting the costs of transportation
and erection. The site finally chosen
was the famous pass, 13, ,780 feet above
sea level, by means OF which San

tion with Bolivar's Colombians coming

Of Trip to Europe

Inc SIX 4luleS-L1e1 d4O SoAAAC
boys who have been touring Eu
rope as guests OF the publisher o
the papers are now aboard tn
S. S. Washington on their wa,
home and will arrive in Washing
ton late Thursday.
The boys travelled through sever
countries and many cities Of Eu
rope. John A. Nuhn's letter, re
ceived today, tells his impression
of Venice and Rome.
CARRIERS LETTER
August 3, 1887.
From Venice to Rome was our
goal today and we made it
about 1890 this evening.
At 8 a. m. we we're awakened
from our peaceful sleep for a
light breakfast as usual. Since
our sightseeing tour started at
$50, we Immediately walked
over the Grand Canal Bridge
through a number of crooked,
narrow streets to st. Marks
Square, the starting point for
the morning tour. st. Marks
Square is the famous feeding
place for innumerable pigeons.
We first visited the DogeS
Palace, home of the rulers Of
the Republic of Venice. A Doge
was elected by the people for
a lifetime job as ruler Of the
republic. Its origin was in 80
when the ruler started the
palace and the same form Of
government continued until 1898.
Each Doge added a little more
to the palace which is very
ornate with gold carvings, mar
BILE statues and in comparison
its foul, dark, small prisons.
Hany paintings by amous
Italian artists are located on
the palace walls. Titan was one
of them with his beautiful works
showing the wonderful relation
of colors.
FAMOUS CHURCH
Our next stop was the st.
Marks Church which is in the
square named for it. Upon the
ceilings, walls and the five
domeS are wonderful colored
glass mosaicS showing figures
in the Bible. The church itself
has a bit of history. About six
months before the italian dec
laration of participation in the
World War, all the valuable
mosaics, statues, ETC., were taken
down and stored in a safe place.
Our last interesting sight was
the Bridge Of Signs, named so
because the prisoners breathed
a sigh when they walked over
the bridge before they were exc.
cuted.
Back at the Hotel Marconi,
we had delightful lunch of a
few Italian dishes. Since we
have been here in Venice, we
have almost lived in the gon.
dolas but soon we were on our
way to the train-our last ride
in a gondola so we made the
best of it.
SCENERY BEAUTIFUL
Scenery on the way to Rome
was certainly beautiful with tall
mountains jutting into the blue
sky and the little mountain vii.
lagos or towns here and there.
The fields with the crops were
neat and prosperous looking.
Oxen and carts are still very
much in use in the country here.
Women also do heavy work in
the fields as we'll as the men.
In almost every town, the first
building you would notice would
be the church because Of its
tower that rises above the other
buildings.
We arrived in Rome without
any trouble, took a taxi to the
Hotel Ludovisi. My first impres.
sion Of Rome was that it was a
very modern city because of all
the taxis. lights, etc.
Yours truly,
Y@YrNI
