WITH MILITARISTIC IDEALS
ROME, Aug. 23—Colonel Repond,
who was called to be commander of
the Swiss Guards at the Vatican
during the pontificate of Pius X
and who gained considerable dis
tinction because of his efforts to
place the 70 soldiers who compose
the guard, on a war footing, has
resigned. Pope Benedict has appoint
ed Colonel Hirschbuhl. the next
senior officer of the corps, to suc
ceed him.
Colonel Repond was an officer of
the Swiss regular army and came to
the Vatican under the impression
that he could give the Pope's body
guard a more martial spirit. They
were put on strict military discipline
aroused at 4:30 o'clock in the morn
ing and put through drills in the
most rigid fashion. The 70 men
were taken out on the Belvedere
court inside the Vatican gardens and
given maneuvers
One day. Colonel Repond had an
audience with His Holiness Pius X
and laid before him plans for the
fortifying of the Vatican. These
included the placing of cannon on
the roof of St. Peter's. The Holy
Father looked upon the colonel,
smiling one of his benign smiles,
land said:
j ‘‘Cannon? What for? Not to
shoot?”
‘‘No, your Holiness.” replied the
colonel.
“Well, then?" interrogated the
I venerable Pontiff.
The colonel did not answer and
he was excused.
Colonel Repond had also issed to
the Swiss Guards a certain amount
of ammunition. One day a guard
began shooting near the barracks.
The reports stirred the whole Vati
i can. The issue of cartridges was
■ ordered prohibited and the guards
■ deprived of those they still had.
This was the last attempt of the
; colonel to institute war tactics. The
'guards continue to use the loth
! centurv halberd when on dutv.

AMERICAN EMBASSY IN SOUTH
HOUSED IN CHEAP QUARTERS
BUENOS AIRES. Aug. 23—Refus
al of the State Department at Wash
ington to authorize sufficient funds
to lease new embassy headquarters
suitable to the dignity of the United
States, in the opinion of Frederic
Jesup Stimson. recently retired am
bassador, has forced the American
embassy to take quarters in a build
ing whose ground floor is occupied
by a mattress factory, a carpenter
shop and a ladies’ tailoring estab
lishment.
The embassy was obliged to give
up the building which has been the
office of the American diplomatic
representatives for the past 12 years
owing to the desire of the owner
to occupy it himself. This was 3
two-story residence of pleasing ex
terior, facing the Plaza San Martin
and although far from pretentious,
as compared with the legations of
most other countries, was well ar
ranged. well appointed and entirely
occupied by the embassy. It was ob
tained when rents in Buenos Aires
were comparatively low. for 750
pesos a month, or a little over $300
land'this figure, on account of the
friendship of the owner for Am
bassador Stimson. was not raised
when rents went soaring during the
war.
When it became necessary recent
ly to give the place up, neither Mr.
Stimson nor Francis Smith, now
Charge d'Affaires, could find a build
ing comparable to it for less than
2,300 pesos a month. The State de
partment set a limit of 850 pesos
and now strangers looking for the
American embassy find a building
on a side street, whose shabby en
trance is flanked on one side by a
window exhibit of gaudy colored
mattresses and on the other by
ladies' dress forms.
One ascends to the embassy head
quarters by a dark spiral staircase,
set in a wall, to a small *'sala” or
waiting room, which in winter is
heated bv an oil stove. There are
ten other rooms which visitors agree
are shabbily decorated and, with
the exception of two with fireplaces,
they have no heating apparatus. Re
cently there was a fire in the car
penter’s shop. Had the fire destroy
ed the building complete archives
dating from the days of Caesar j
Augustus Rodney, first American
minister to Argentina, a century!
ago, probably would have been lost.
Only one other nation has an em
bassy in Argentina and that is!
Spain which will soon house its am-1
bassador in a palace costing nearly
two million pesos. The Chilean le
■ gation already has a veritable palace
while the Columbia legation boasts
of two pretentious buildings, one
as the ministers’ residence and the
other for the legation offices, con
nected by a beautiful garden. France
has a legation which cost half a
million pesos. The British and Ital
ian ministers also are elaborately
housed. The present embassy of the
United States sits in the shadow of
a building across the street, twice
as big and handsomely appointed,
occupied by the legation of Cuba.
Walter Grimm, of Xenana, who
underwent an operation for appen
dicitis, is getting along nicely, ac
cording to reports from the hospital.
