There is every reason to believe that secret negotiatious towards a conciliation between the Pope) and Italy have been successful, and that a satisfactory settlement. of the Roman question has been reached on the basis of the reunciation of the Papal claim to temporal power.

Palaces. The Pope has requested President Wilson to notify the Allies representatives at the Peace Conference of the proposed settlement of the Roraan question. Such a notification is justified owing to the fact that a concilia- tion between the Pope and Italy will imply the internationalisation of the Papacy, in which, in fature, the Italian element will not pre- dominate as heretofore, lest the Church should be considered more Italian than Catholic. The mere fact of such a notification, which President Wilson has consented to make, will aford a sufficient international sanction to the settlement, which may be announced" after Mr. Wilson's visit to the Pope.

RIGHTS OF SILVER BADGE.

Many soldiers, both officers and men, who are invalided out of the Army are unaware of the benefits to which they are entitled in the way of pensions and allow- Jances, and also in the matter of medical treatment and training for civil employment. In order to assist them, and also to help meme bers of Parliament and others con- cerned, Sir Montague Barlow and Sec.-Lieut. W. Gordan Williams, of the Parliamentary War Pen- sions Bureau, have prepared an admirable booklet setting forth what these men are entitled to after their discharge. The book,

which can be bought for a shill-

ing, will save the invalided soldier the necessity of searching through official documents to find out what his country is prepared to do for him after he has defied the khaki. There are many, the book points out, who leave the Army still requiring medical treatment, and who, through ignorance, are paying for it them- selves, instead of getting it at the. expense of the State. The scheme of free training for civilian employment is arrang- ed through the Ministry of Labour, working in conjunction with the Pensions Ministry. The handbook is entitled

"จ๋า TVer Pensions, Gratuities, Allowances, Treatment and Traising for Officers, N.0,0.'s and Men," and is published by the Dryden Press J. Davy, and Sons, Frith-street, London, W.1.
