It Is likely that it .tresi dent Wilson t goes to Romo ho will visit tho Qulrinal Palaco a3 tne guest of King Victor Emanuel. Af terward he will go to the American Embassy, where ho will be met by the rector and students of the American Ecclesiastical College. The rector will convey to tho President Popo Benedict's desire to seo him. If President Wilson goes to the Vatican he will also call upon Car dinal Gasparrl, Papal Secretary of State, who will return tho call upon tho President at the Embassy on behalf of the Pope, who can not, by precedent, leave the Vatican. This was the programme followed when Klne Edward VH. visited tho King and tho Pope. If the President goes to Rome It probably will be after Christmas, as King Victor Emmanuel will bo in Paris until December 23. WOMEN SERVE WILSON.

About a third of tho cases with which Homo Service deals ln Europe are those of people ln Ire land who are dependents of Amer ican soldiers. To deal with these casee, American Red Cross commit tees wero established ln London derry, Belfast and Dublin; with "vis itors" at Queenstown and Cork. GOOD TRANSPORT RECORD.

Of the, total strength of the naval escort guarding all these convoys the United States furnished 82 por cent., Great Britain 14 per cent, and France 3 per cent. ADOPTED UNIQUE, METHOD.
