TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1922, THE DAILY BRITISH, WHIG. I'he Rich Canadians, ever we went on the journey we stay the best hotels, for I had told each of the men to bring with him a thousand francs. It was a great puzzle to the 1 at Italians that at the most select hotel in Rome, and also that the officers and men were able to mix together in real comrade- ship. The Highlanders in our party of course attracted the greatest at- tention, and were frequently follow- ed by an admiring crowd as they passed through the streets. Colonel Lamb, the military attache at the Embassy, was very kind to us aud (secured us many privileges, not the | least acceptable of which was free transportation. We split up small parties, and visited the sight S UST let your clothes soak themselves clean in the wonderful, scien- tific Rinso suds. Do not put the Rinso direct from the package into the tub. Make the Rinso liquid first. Mix half a package of Rinso in a little cool water until it is like cream. Then add two quarts of boiling water and when the froth subsides you will have a clear, amber coloured liquid; put it in a tub of cool or lukewarm water and you will have enough for a batch of clothes. Ifthe clothes are extra soiled, use more Rinso.

Many of our men were anxious to see the Pope, and so it was arranged that we should have an audience. Colonel Lamb informed the 1st:ital- fan Division that we would march in a body through their dist}ict. We started off in the morning, our young Highland officer being in command. As we passed through the streets, the people greeted us very cordially. Many of them raised their hats. The traffic, too, would stop to let us pass, We went over the bridge of Hadrian and arrived at the entrance of the Vatican beside St. Peter's in good "|time. There we were met by an Ir- ish priest, who remembered me from my previous visit, I asked him if the men should break ranks but he told me to let them come in in forma- tion. So, two by two we mounted the glorious Royal Staircase, the splendid surroundings being a good getting for the fine looking soldiers. At the various landings, the Swiss Guards In their picturesque uniform presented arms, and we found our- selves at last in & wonderful hall with richly frescoed walls and ceil- ing. Here the men were halted and taken in single file into the audience chamber. We had to wait for quite a long time, and at last the Pope entered clothed in white and look- ing much older and more worn than when I had seen him only a year and a half before. He was very guarded in what he said to us, because we were the first soldiers he haa re- ceived in a body, and any expression he might make with reference to the war would be liable to various inter- pretations., He spoke to some of our men in French and then wished us health and protection and a safe re- turn to Canada, Then giving his blessing he left us, and we made our way to the outer room where we re- formed and marched off as we had come. That afternoon we were photo- graphed in the Coliseum, and I visit- ed the Interesting old church of St. Clement afterwards. Every evening, after a day spent in rambling among antiquities, we used to attend the opera in the Grand Opera House. | It acted as a sort of relaxation after the serious business of sight-seeing. Rumors now reached us of the at- tack that our Division was making up in the Salient, and one night when I was hw tea In the Grand Ho- tel, I went over and asked a young staff officer whom I saw there if he had any news, He said to me that the Canadian Corps were making an attack at Passchendaele under the most appalling conditions of mud and rain and had covered themselves with glory. I asked him if it was true that Sir Willlam Robertson had come to Rome. "Yes," he sald; "I am his son. He has brought me with 'him and we are all very proud of the Canadians." At another table I saw M. Venezelos. It was understood now that Britain and France were to come to the assistance of Italy, but still Venice was in imminent peril, and the Itallans were heart- broken at the way the 3rd Italian Army had behaved, Refugees from ' of ""TIZ"" now from any druggist or department store.

He said he was anxious to emphasize the con-| nection between the British and Ital- | fans. An Italian major made the ar- | rangements with me for carrying out | the project. Poor man, he was mov- jed at the thought of the disgraceful |surtdender of the 3rd Italian Army [that his eyes filled with tears as-he tue {our Alfies think about .taly when her men behave like that!" told him it was only a small part of their army and that the rest had behaved very gallantly, That afternoon, pre- ceded by two of .our sargeants car- rying a large wreath of laurel tied with purple ribbons, to which we at- tached two cards with the inscrip- tions one in English and one in Ital- fan, we marched through the crowds of onlookers, who took off thelr hats as we passed, until we reached the great marble steps which lead up to the gilded statue of the late King. Here there was a magnificent display of flowers madé up in all sorts of designs. The crowd gave way before us, and one of the officials who had been directed by the Italian major took the wreath from us and gave it a place of honor in front of the statue. We stood in a long line on the marble steps and saluted and then turned and left, The people clapped their hands and shouted, "Viva I'Inghilterra!" We were pleas- ed at the impression the simple act of courtesy made, and felt that it was helping on the cause of the Al- lies. Our men were always very much amused by the moving picture shows, the character of these enter- tainments being so different from that of similar exhibitions at tke front. They were so traglc and so sentimental that they dif not ap- pral strongly to the wholesom2 minds of Canadian soldiers. It was always very interesting to hear their criti- clsms of the customs and outlook of the people with whom we were so- journing. Thera is no doubt that the army mind Is the sanest and mcet wholesome in the whole com- riunity. It may 'ot express itself in the most artistic terms or the most religious language but its judgments are absolutely sound and worthy of the most careful consideration. I am sure that Canadian political life, unless other inriuences nullify it, will be immeasurably bettered by the-sol- diers' vote, 1 had the great privilege of a visit to Cardinal Gasquet in the home of the Dominicans not far from St. Peter's. The interview had been ar- ranged for me by an Englisn priest whom I met at the hospital! of the Blue Nuns, where I had taken two of our men who were ill with pneumon- fa. The Cardinal is engaged in the stupendous task of revising the text | of the Latin Vulgate. He showed me photographs of ,the ancient maru- scripts with the various readings not- ed. It will be years before the great task it completed, but when it is, it will remain untouched for centuries to come. He told me that news had just been received of the consecra- tion of the first Roman Catholic Bishop in Russia, This had been made possible by the overthrow of the reigning dynasty. He was most kind, and told me many interesting things about life in Rome during the war, and before I left he asked me to write my name in his visitor's book, pointing out to me on the up- per part of the page the signature of the Cardinal Archbishop of Cologne. Useful Propaganda. Altogether we had been absent by this time for nearly two weeks, and had still a long journey ahead of us. I thought, however, that the valuable service our men were rendering the great cause justified our over-staying our leave. In fact, when I went to say good-bye to Colonel Lamb, he and his staff told me that the presence of our men in the city at that time had been worth any amount of print- ed propaganda. I hinted that some statement of that kind to General Currie might be a good thing. To my great delight soon after we had returned, General Currie received the following letter, which has an offi- cial stamp which I never expected: -- BRITISH EMBASSY, ROME, 9th November, 1917. "Dear General, &i "With reference to the recent it to Rome of a party of Canadian offi- cers and soldiers, I am requested by H. E.
