Pope’s Swiss Guard Strike

The Pope's Swiss guard has presented a demand for three holidays each week. The demand seems to have grown out of the fact that the new commander, Colonel Repond, insists upon strict discipline, and that they shall be real soldiers instead of ornamental ones. Twenty of the guardsmen have deserted, and the deserters have presented the ultimatum. Unless the demands are granted, the whole regiment say they will go on a strike.
