GERMANS NOT INSIDE VATICAN CITY
LONDON, September 21.
The Lord Privy Seal, Lord Cranborne. answering a question in the House of Lords regarding the occupation of Rome by the Gormans, said: “It appears that German troops may not have actually violated the territory of Vatican City, though they certainly are in very close proximity to it. The Government has asked the Resident. Minister in Algiers, Mr. Mac-Millan, for further information.” Vatican radio reports that a German patrol posted in front of Saint Peter's Square, which is the boundary between Rome and the territory of Vatican City, has not. actually entered Vatican City. The Italian Commander-in-Chief in Rome telephoned to the Vatican, whereupon of-, finials went to the boundary and saw for themselves that the Germans had not crossed the boundary.
