The scholarly scholar-ly Prelate is known for his friendship i or the house of Savoy. His counsel is at the service of the king, but bishops may not transfer their seats of residence resi-dence without consulting the holv see feo. Mgr. Bonomelli will have to remain re-main outside the political breastworks a while longer. The incident, however shows how deeply the king values th advice of the bishop. It was but a feu-days feu-days ago that Italv rubbed its eyp when it read the details of Cardinal Ferrari's visit to Victor Emmanuel and his queen.
