England's former foreign roinlser

several days ago. Balfour ofUially
designated it as an audience

But Indications are that Benedict
jid discuss with him the rapprochenent
of Italy and the Holy See.

pontifical opposition to the visit of j

Such a protocol was established
jy Pius IX, when the Italian forces
teized Rome In 1870. Benedict's
atest encyclical Is generally rejarded
as the opening paragraph In
in official pact of peace between
:hurch and state in Italy.
The parliamentary strength of the
Catholic party in Italy has apparently
brought the government
o a mood for compromise. History

This promises to go much
urther than the Italian laW of
guarantees.
These guarantees were drawn up
t?d adopted by Italy In May. 1871.
Fundamentally, they make the
Pope's residence and functioning at
Rome dependent upon an act of
parliament.
The proposed agreement. It Is
understood, makes no'mention of
temporal power" or "temporal
erritory." By s uggestlon. the
papacy allegedly waives any claims
0 Rome and the old papal states
ind to a Mediterranean seaport.
Indications are that the Vatican
palaces will be declared papal
property and that the Pope's tenancy
at the will of the Italian government
will be terminated. International
sanction of mutual obligations
could be virtually obtained
jy the communication of the agreement
to the yarious forelgn^powers

ADOPTS ALIEN"
ENEMY CLAUSE
Senate Favors Return of
Property Seized by U. S. j
Early in War.
The Senate yesterday afternoon
adopted the amendment to the
trading-with-enemy act. providing;
for returning to American wives
and children of alien enemies property
taken during the war by the
custodian of alien property. The
measure passed the House Thursday
night and now goes to the
President for his signature.
Mrs. Herman V. Hilprecht. of j
Philadelphia, and the children of
Adolphus Keppelmann, formerly a j
resident of New Jersey, are among
those benefited. Mrs. Hilprecht
was the wife of Professor Hilprecht,
formerly of the University
of Pennsylvania, and the daughter
of Samuel Crosier of Up'.tnd, Pa.
More than $60,000 In cash and a
long list of securities in stocks and
bonds of various corporations belonging
to Mrs. Hilprecht were
taken by the government following
the outbreak of war, according to
the testimony given the House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce
Committee by William I. SchafTer,
attorney general of Pennsylvania.
While most of the German interns
have returned to Germany,
about 100 have remained In the i
United States and are expected to
become ,clti*ens. The property j
taken from this class amounted to
about $2,000,000, and is to be returned
under the bill.

lieve that since 1870 more than one
Pope has left the Vatican, incognito.
Benedict himself is thought to have
secretly visited his brother, Marchese
della Chlesa. when he lay dying
in the Hotel Russie at Rome.
Popular tradition says that the
Quirinal also has broken the protocol.
The present Queen Mother
Marguerita. a staunch Catholic, is
reported to have gone to the bedside
of Pius X Just before he died.
A Popular Melting; Pot.
A Concordat between the Vatican
and Italy, it is widely thought,
would be a popular melting pot for
the Italian majority. At the present
time, Italian Catholics are divided
into Blacks, Whites and Greys.
The Blacks for the most part are
old Roman and Italian nobles and
aristocrats. They have theoretically
remained under allegiance to
the papacy of pre-'70 days.
The Blacks are temporalists, but
have had little or no Influence in
Italian public life. Their ni'mb"''*
are small and are constantly decreasing.
The Whites are those who have
broken entirely with the Vatican.
They are more numerous than the
Blacks, but less numerous than the
Greys.
The Greys make up the bulk of
Italy's Catholic population. They
are generally the younger generations,
which In their own way aim
to be simultaneously political Italians
and religious Catholics.

U. S. Warns Tax Dodgers
To Settle Up at Once
Tax dodgers, beware!
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
gave warning yesterday that It will
"pursue tax frauds relentlessly" and
will urge the extreme penalty for
evaders, whether big or little.
The recent conviction of Julius,
Joseph and Jacob Isaac, wealthy
Junk dealers of Elisabeth. N. J.,
who are alleged to have covered up
$32,000 in taxes, was cited as an
example of what special Investigators
for the bureau are doing.

many of the woes of the women.
Wmmi Aak Fall Share.
"I am in a very paradoxical position,"
said lClaa Hay. "I am trying
to urge the women to vote the Republican
ticket, and so many women
are still unfranchised that my efforts
are fruitless. If we are going
to be of any value in the electorate
we must have full recognition in the
party council. Women cannot hang
on to fringe* of party organisations
and be used merely for decorative
purposes. We must be taken into
the party councils and be given our
full share of inside information and
authority."
1% line with the comments of Miss
Hay it was learned that women organisations
will demand a certain
number of planks In the party platform
In the interest of their sex.
They are preparing requests for
more women officials in the government
service, especially in the Commission
of Labor and Education.
They are demanding a plank calling
for a department of education with
a secretary, member of the Cabinet.
They are keen for a woman's department

women party leaders do not feel that
It Is necessary to urge this measure
on the platform makers.
Would Frighten Delegates.
Miss Paul believes that the best
method is to frighten the delegates
into giving woman her due.
'We don't want to get inside the
convention," she said. "It wouldn't
do any good. We will stand outside
and 'tell the world' how the
Republican party has fought suffrage.
The Republicans passed a
resolution for suffrage tlie other
day, but that means nothing."
In the meantime the convention
managers prepare to entertain more
women inside the hall than ever
before .and that indicates visitors
as well as delegates and alternates.
According to the latest count, with
a few contests to be cleared away,
there will be 26 women delegates
and 131 alternates on the floor or
the convention.
It is physically impossible to take
care of all the alternates, so far as
delegate seats are concerned, but
an effort is being made to seat
them elsewhere. Many States, especially
Western, exceeded their
quotas In the election of both delegates
and alternates, and fractional
voting as applied to alternates will
not be recognized. The regular delegations
have been taken care of,
even where extra delegates have
b<en elected.
Smt Pare Dlmppolatneat.
Applications of out-of-town women
visitors for tickets have reached
enormous proportions, according to
Chairman Will Hays.
'We are going to do the best we
can with women visitors." he said,
"but we cannot take care of them
all."
An innovation at national conventions
will be the women sergeantsat-arms.
There will be several of
. these thus recognizing this rough
and tumble activity of convention
life. Bureaus and information
booths have been provided and ap|
parently the convention managers
are going to make It as pleasant as
possible for the fair callers.
As each headquarters of the several
candidates have also women
managers and quarters for the reception
of out-of-town visitors there
Is nothing missing. It is not on record
that there has been any lapse
