POPE AND MUSSOLINI.

CENTRE PARTY STRONGLY CONDEMNED.

Rome, Mar. 26.

Pope Plus, in a short address to- day before the Diocesan Board, dis- closed that he does not share the optimism recently expressed by Mussolini regarding the ultimate solution of the Roman Question.

He rather strongly condemned the attitude of the National Centre Party, composed of Catholics favourable to the present regime in Italy, because of the party's complete surrender to the regime, which, he said, after all represents the change in Italy, to which the spoilation of the Pontiff was due.

The publication of the Pope's ad- itress in Obscrvatore Romano, official organ of the Vatican, had a bombshell effect in political and ecclesiastical circles Associated Press.

What should' prove an equally. conclusive test was disclosed to a Morning Post representative in London recently by Mrs. E. J. Franks, of Guildford. Mrs. Franks made the following statement:

"In 1911 I was in St. Petersburg on my way to Ekaterinburg to see my sister. I stayed with Mies Moitershed, whose guest at that. time was the English tutor of the Taar's daughters. His name was Mr. Epps.

"He told me that lessons were always in English, and that the Tsarina was generally present. He suggested that the girls were not particularly clever, but they all had one marked gift-that of being able to draw caricatures.

"Mr. Epps told me at the time that this sometimes proved rather trying to him, for they would get up from the table, go to the Palaco windows and draw caricatures of the people passing by. Further, all their lesson papers would be covered with drawings.

"I was at St. Petersburg the same year as the Bishop of London, and I know that he went to see Miss Motterahed, who was an invalid and too old to go to church. He also, no doubt, met Mr. Epps."
