By ALICE R'OHE, (United fo-ess Staff Correspondent) Rome, Aug. 10 (By Mail). While startling stories of how the Pope is about to flee to Spain for safety continue to blossom on the journal itic tree with regularity, it is inter esting to know what is really going on to protect the head ot the historic church, That the Vatican is protected by Remington and Wetterly arms, gives quite a modern touch to the pic turesque pile. The protection offered and given by the Italian government is - interesting to analyze , on account of the relations between Church and State., Benedict XV. has no need to worry for his safety, as the govern ment of Italy not only gives pTotec tion but has offercd more than he Uould accept As to internal security the Julian police could take no steps, as the Vatican is considered a "foreign State."; The Italian .government be sought the Pope to accept, if it so pleased him, whatever armed forces he. saw fit for the protection of the Vatican and the pontifical property. These men would be exempt from mil itary duty to the Italian government. Moreover, the government offered the Pope the necessary protection of modern arms and ammunition. Benedict XV, always practical, de- elined the offer of men being unde sirous of increasing the number of Vatican 1 armed guards, especially since he had desired 'all of hi at- tendants who had military service to perform or who wished to go as vol unteers, to file at once beneath the banner of the Patria. ' The Holy Fa ther is credited with saying to Car dinal Gasparri: "Let U go who have the obligation let all go who have the desire; and let them know that not a solda will be deducted from their pay, and that their places will be waiting for them.

ENGLAND KNOWS THE FRENCH DON'T LIKE HER SLOW METHODS Some Grounds for Com plaint, Too, Admitted- Strikes Have Hampered Government Shortage of Arms is Exaggerated .By ED. L. KEEN, (United Press Staff Ctorreapondent) London, Aug. 11. (By Mail). England knows France is not satis fied with her. The showing Great Britain has made with her land forces has not been all that France has had a right to expect. - While the dispatch from William Philip Simms, the United Press Cor-; respondent in Paris, probably reveals to America for the first time the ex tent of the French discontent, it re lates facts which are well known to Britishers." i Britishers admit, with sincere re gret, that France has had some ground for her complaints. But they predict that in the very near future the Allies will have no basis for cri ticism. . Britishers do not deny the French I charge, contained in Simms' article, that the Britons are fortifying Lon don with a double row of defense. The Britishers are looking square in the face the remote possibility .that the British Isles may be invaded by; Germany. London has been prepar ing - for invasion ' for a long time. Great Britain, will do her best to keep the possible invaders away from Ca lais and the. French criticisms , that the British are thoughtlessly worry-;! ing about London more than they are; about Calais, is not well received in London. Calais may be on French soil,' but the British realize that it is the gateway te London, and that H must be defended to England's at-; most. However, if the British fail at Calais, they must be prepared to make their last stand at London. . It is true, as the French point out, that strikes' have hampered the Brit ish) but that defect is being remedied, thanks to the efficient work and in spiring' appeals of the new minister of monitions, Lloyd George.
