has spared no labor to proclaim farther

Archbishop Of Larissa, Delegate Apostol-
Expression of Regret.
Mgr. Falconio requested that this address
to the bishops be accepted as his statement
concerning the death of the pope. He re-
peatedly expressed in conversation his deep
personal regret over the. oedtn OIL the pope.
Bishop Rocker and DR.. Marchetti also ex-
pressed profound sorrow, and in response
to repeated requests, Bishop Rocker gave
out the following statement:
What is there to say? The pope Is dead.
The church boasts long line of illustrious
pontiffs. Leo XIII will ever stand in their
foremost rank. His reign has been won
derful one. He assumed the pontificate at a
most critical moment. He hands 1t to his
successor without a single loss and with
great gain. He has held the most terrible
stewardship that can be entrusted to a
human being. He has stood for more than
a quarter of a century before the world
as the vicar Of the Savior CT mankind. He
has finished a great work. He lays down
an enormous burden. He must have found
his supremest joy when he heard his Mas

servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord "

visited by many Of the Catholic clergy
anxious to know If the newspaper an
