Rome.—In cSs? Italy goes to war
one ot the most s«lous complications'
which will foHosv i;3 the relations be?
tween the Italian government and the
Holy will be In coanection witli
the papal :army.
There is no pro-.-i.5ion in t!io !iw of
euareutees coat cmylating. the eVentu-
aliiy of war. ‘.. ha.i this law was be
fore the Italian parliament In 1S71 a
member ptopoaed 'ah amendment , fc
the effect that air privileges accorded
to the popa should be suspended "in
case of v.ar between Italy and other
nations, as" aiso In the base Of war
between foreign nations when Italy
had declared heraelf neutral, and in
every eircunistauee when such.a tneas-
nre shoulc! he necessary for ths.iatei^
n.il and eiternal security of the state."
This amendineiit was aeCeptec!, biit not
embodied >« the lawj which, it w’aa
then oxplained. was concerned with
the riglita of peace and not with thoso
of war.
Art'clo " or the la-w of guarantees
j deals ,Milh the pontifical army as fol
lows:
“Tho sovereign ijontiff can retain
i the usual nurober of guards attached
j to bi.«: person and employed for the
J custody of the palace* without prelu-
dice, to Hie obligations and duties in
cumbent on those guards by reason
ot the laws In force in the kingdoro."
The pblisatjons and duties men
tioned in thia article are those of
every Italian citiien’s liability to serve
in the hrmy, and Ihiis the law exBliclt-
j ly provides that pontifical guards can-
p.nt, claim eiiemption from military
