Monsignor Martinelli is well known

walton to the cardinalate is declared to be
a reward for his eminent service to the
| church. He was for a long time master Of
theology in the Irish Augustinian College
of Santa Maria in Posterula. He was named
| by the votes Of the chapter of his order
| for the office Of prior general and was
| chosen for the term of twelve years. After
| he had filled the office for one year he was
chosen by the pope as apostolic delegate to
the United States.
Monsignor Martinelli is the second mem
Der of his family who has rea ched the high
| distinction of the cardinalate. His brother
-Tommaso Maria Martinelli-was created
cardinal in 1873, and died in Rome fifteen
years afterward. This prelate was born in
| the family residence at ST. Anna, just out
side the gates Of Lucca, in 1927. There is
| a difference Of over twenty-one years in
the ages of the two brothers, the new car
dinal having been born in the same resi-
dence at st. Anna August 20, 1S4S.
