AUSTRIA Is GRIEEED

New York, Nov. ga dispatch 10
the Herald from Rome says: A very
strained condition of feeling exists be
tween the Austrian representative Of
the vatican and his holiness. 1t con-
Germs the coming distribution of cardi-
mars hats.
The Austrian government has of late
been urging with much persistence that
the Archbishop Of Prague should re-
celVe the coveted scarlet The see of
Prague is considered by Austrians for
historical and other reasons, to be of
premier rank and has been held by a
succession Of dignitaries of Drincely
title. II is now occupied by Baron
ScrihnitZ.
The pope, however. has just given a
hnal decision, which is negative, on the
ground the archbishop is too young.
Furthermore, there are other disap-
polntments in view. These viii touch
french aspirations, as the total num-
Der OF cardinal hats expected by the
French church will not be granted.
This last decision is due to the grow
ing importance attached by his hOli-
ness 10 the Increasing development of
the roman Catholic faith in the United
States, in which country. n cOnse-
quence- two new appointments Of
princes of the church have been decided
upon.
This appointment of two additional
American cardinals may cause jeal-
ousy, but it is only in accordance with
the amount of support which the Ro-
man Catholic church in the United
States is giving to the holy see as COM
pared with other nations,
Corrigan VS.. Ireland.
Commenting upon the above the Her
aid says;
Gossip will be set going at fast
pace by this announcement that two
red hats are to come to the United
States. One solution Of the ecclesiasti-
/ cal friction that has for years existed
! between the east and west used to be
that both Archbishops COrrigan and
Ireland Should be raised by the sacred
college and thus all rivalry equalized.
but a new factor has appeared on the
scene in the person of Archbishop
Chappelle of New Orleans, the delegate
apostolic to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
/ Philippines.
This is a most important Office. and
as Mgr. Chappelle seems to be meeting
its many requirements successfully, he
viii no doubt receive the customary re-
ward of the red hat that Rome bestOws
/ on her successful diplomats. This would
! dispose of one Of the newly promised
I dignities-
Martinel1i to be Honored.
/ Then who is to get the other? Such
a course would leave the old trouble
unsolved. Both Archbishop Corrigan
and Archbishop Ireland have been in
/ Rome this summer and both were re-
/ Ceived there with the highest honors.
! Archbishop COrrigan made a report to
/ the pope of wonderful prosperity and
/ progress in his diocese of New York.
But this point is balanced by the high
hOnOrs paid to Archbishop Ireland in
/ France and his undoubted repute as a
/ force of even International weight
Another idea is the recently mOOted
topic of a cardinal de curia, or resident
I in Rome for the United States
He would be specially charged to
look after the affairs of the church
here. For this Mgr. MaTtineUi. who
! will undoubtedly soon be made a cardi-
nal, has been spoken of, but it is no
. thought he would do, because he i;
