The announcement declares, that the Catholic i clergy of the kingdom have been instructed to lend their sincere and hearty cooperation to the civil authorities in preparing the people to face with courageous fortitude the hardships and sacrifices which a bloody and long war might impose in the' near future. At the same time this cooperation is taken to mean""the first step toward a combination of church and state, and the full approval of Pope Benedict of Italy's war attitude. Up to a few days ago Italian opinion was evenly divided as to the attitude of the Vatican in the event that Italy was ultimately forced to intervene in the European war.

In the eyes of the pessimists, that Pope Bene dict was Endeavoring to secure for the Holy See: a prominent place in the peace congress. Catholic " circles here and a large number pf Italians with Vatican con nections deny any such intention on the part i of the pope, asserting that the series of diplomatic negotiations between the Italian and Vatican' chan cellories resulted in a complete under standing. j . i Th most expliciC though indirect, confirmation of the changed - attitude of ' the i.
