ROME August 1T-While the pope was
crossing one of the halls on his way to re-
ceive some American pilgrims during the
week he caught sight of Don Lorenzo Pc
rosi, to whom he beckOned and with whom
he exchanged few words. The director of
the Sistne choir, looking worried and pale,

said: Don't work too hard for the coming

COLLEGE to sing instead of the choir, this
reference to the celebration OF the anniver-
sary of the popc's coronation in the Slstlne
chapel Mgr Kennedy. the rector of the
American college remarked that his stu
dents were going to sing with the regular
choir. Mgr. Don Perosi has been training
them for some time In the principles of the
Gregorian chant, and the choir is consid-
cred the finest in Rome. PerOsi is Stren-
uous advocate of congregational singing, or
at least of mixed singing. ON the day OF
the cappella papale al the American stu
dents came TO Rome from their summer
quarters at Castel Gandolfe and occupied
special tribunes opposite the choir. Their
singing of the credos and other parts OF
the service was accomplished with great
perfection.
The pope congratulated Mgr. Kennedy,
saying that the singing reflected the great
est honor. not only on the college. but on
the American church. The students in the
college who number 80. come from every
state in the Union. When they leave Rome
their musical training enables them to take
charge of a choir. and is unquestionablv a
contribution in the work OF Fastening the
pope's reforms In church music.

GOODBYE OLD GIRL.
Frigate Saratoga to Be Sold for
Junk

Orders were issued today to strike from
the naval list the old wooden sailing vessel
Saratoga and to sell her by auction to the
highest bidder. The Saratoga was built
by the government at Kittery, Me, away
back in 1912, and was then considered a
fine warship. After useful career, extend
ing over many years, in which she cruIsed
in all parts of the world, the Saratoga was
turned over to the state of Pennsylvania
and has since been used as public marine
schoo' ship al Philadelphia for the training
of naval reserves of that state. Being no
longer serviceable for even that purpose,
the state returned her to the government
and a naval board appointed to survey the
old hulk appraised her total value at $4,000.
She will therefore be offered for sale and
the highest bid above that appraisement
will be accepted by the Navy Department.
