NEW CARDINALS
FOREIGN MEN.
POPE FOR EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN
ITALIANS AND OTHERS IN
SACRED COLLEGE.
Pontiff Declares That While Faith Il
Spreading in Distant Lands There
Is Some Concern.

ROME, Dec. 1.-THE Pope today
held secret consistory, which was the
second of his pontifcate in which he
created new cardinals and apparently
showed a tendency to have better equi-
librium between the foreign and Italian
elements in the sacred college Three
of the four new cardinals are foreign
ers.
The ceremony was performed with the
usual pomp, and nearly thirty cardinals
were present. The pontiff appeared
walking and preceded by, surrounded
and followed by the gorgeous pontilical
court. Then all withdrew except the
members OF the sacred college and the
Pope read his allocution.
News Not All Consoling
In it he said he wished he could give
the cardinals such pleasant and Consol-
ing news, but the conditions at the pres
ent time do not permit of consolation.
Although, he continued, the Roman
Catholic faith is spreading more and
more throughout the world especially in
distant countries, on turning toward
Catholic nations one feels sadness and
fear lest the prediction of the Scriptures
is being verified, that the kingdom of
the Lord would be moved to other peo-
pie. where it will produce good fruit.
Especial care and anxiety may be felt
for the country heretofore called tho
eldest daughter of the church, but con-
corning the anti-Catholic laws passed
there against the laws of justice the
Pope said he would speak in accord
ance with his apostolic office more grave.
~ and more fully at an opportune time.
He exhorted the cardinals to prayer. re-
calling that the Lord will cause tranquil
llty and peace to shine forth at the prop
er time
New Cardinals Named.
The pontiff ended with saying that he
intends to honor the whole Latin Ameri-
can race by creating for the first time
a cardinal belonging to that part of the
world, Immediately after reading his
allocution he created the following car
d!uais.
Most Rev. Joseph Semasse archbish-
OPP of Erlau. Hungary; Mgr. SPINDLE,
archbishop of Seville: Mgr. J. 4. De
Arcoverde De Albuquerque Cavalcanti,
archbishop of Rio Janeiro; Mgr. Cagaino
De Azeyedo, major domo of the Vati-
can.
The cardinals asserted that contrary
TIC the popular impression the Pope did
not create fifth cardinal, but reserved
the appointment in pectore.
Announces Bishop Schinner.
Later the Pope appointed number of
bishops, including the following:
Rev. G. BARN, bishop of Nureva Ca
ceres. Philippine Islands; Rev 7. Nicer
schaert. bishop of Oklahoma; Rev. Il.
Brennan, formerly bishop of Dallas,
Tex titular bishop Of Cassarea, and
Rev. A. Schinner, vicar general of Mil
waukee, bishop of Superior.

Manila rIS orob bia oP Va1a

mated titular archb bishop of Petra.
