DUKK OF NORFOLK CONDEMNED.
Harsh Words From the English Press
on Account of Hla Address to
the fop.
1lNlHtN. Jan. 12. Seldom ha there
betiii such a universal condemnation of
the utterance of a public man as greet
d the recent address of th luke of
Norfolk to the pope, expressing hop of
the restoration of temporal indepen-
dence of the pontiff. Hitler as have
been the denunciation of th Italian
pre, th comment of the Indon pa
per nave own quite as caustic.
"Nothing could be" mor ooiilnmptl
ble than the Duke of Norfolk's behav
ior." say the Dally New. "If the
Italian government had known he was
visiting Rome for the purpose of pro.
testing against their presence In their
own capital, they would have been per
fectly Justified In slopping him at the
frontier. Not content with Insulting
th king or Italy and the people or
Rome, Ills despicable address also con
demned the- toleration or Italian Pro.
lestanl by the Italian government. It
would bo difficult for an English Cath
olic to sink lower."

each year ror driving In a coach
through England."
' "It cost me. the writer quotes him
a saying, 'a fraction under two pound
a day per had ror tnyseir and guet
ror coach hire.' "
The writer add that Mr. Armour was
a careful but not a mean man and this
low cMlmatc of the cost of the coaching
wa due to the fact that Mr. Armour
and the guest he was likely to Invite
drank water at their meal.
