FOUR CARDINALS
ARE CREATED.
For the First Time in History One
Is Named from South
America.
ONLY ONE ITALIAN NAMED.
Shows II Tendency to Have Better
Equilibrium Between Foreign and
Italian Elements ia Sacred College.

Rome, Dec, 1.-THE pope today held
secret consistory which was the
second of the pontitcate in which he
created new cardinals and apparently
showed a tendency TO have a better
equilibrium between the foreign and
Italian elements in the sacred college,
as three OF the four new cardinals are
foreigners. The ceremony was per-
formed with the usual pomp. Nearly
30 cardinals were present. The pom
tin appeared walking and preceded by.
surrounded and followed by the gor-
geoIs pontifcal court. Then all with
drew except the members of the sacred
college and the pope read his allocu-
ton. In II he said he wished he could
give the cardinals pleasant and consol-
ing news. but the conditions at the
present time do not permit of consola-
ton. Although he continued the
Catholic faith is spreading more and
more throughout the world, especially
In dssident countries, on turning to-
wards Catholic nations one feels sad
and fear lest the prediction OF Scrip
lures is being verified that the king
dom of the Lord will be removed to
other people where it will produce
good fruit. Especial care and anxiety
may be felt for the country heretofore
called the eldest daughter Of the
church but concerning the anti-Catho-
lie laws passed there against the laws
of justice the pope said he would speak
In accordance with his apostolic office
more gravely and more fully at an OPP
perfume time He exhorted the car
dinals to prayer, recalling that the
Lord will cause tranquility and peace
to shine fortn at the proper time.
The pontiff ended with saying that
be intends to honor the whole latin
American race by creating for the first
time a cardinal belonging to that part
OF the world.
Immediately after reading his allo-
cution he created the following car
dinals,
The Most Rev. Joseph Samuzzo. arch
bishop of Erlau, Hungary.
Sonsignor Spnola, archbishop of Sc
VILE.
Monsgnor j. A, De Aroverde de AL
buquerque Cavalcanti, archbishop os
Rio Janerio.
Mgr. Cagain6 De Azevedo. major do
mo of the vatican.
The cardinals asserted that, contrary
TO the popular impression, the pope did
not create a fifth cardinal but reserved
the appointment in pectore
Later the pope appointed a number
OF bishops, including the following.
The Rev, @. BARN, bishop of Nureya
Caceree. Philippine islands; the Rev. r.
Meerschaert. bishop of Oklahoma, the
Rev. 7. G.Onnan, formerly bishop OF
Dallas, Texas, titular bishop Of Gaze
sarea, and the Rev, A. Schinner. vicar
general of Milwaukee, bishop Of SUI
perior, Wis.
Monslgpor Nozaleda. formerly arch
bishop OF Maniln. afterwards arch
bishop of Valencia, which post he re-
signed. was nominated titular arch
bishop Of Petra.

The conclusion is inevitable that the
