NO NEW AMERICAN CARDINAL

ROME. June 21.-It was semi-ofl-
cially declared at the Vatican to-day
that the date of the next consistory
had not been definitely decided. In
some authoritative quarters. however,
it is believed that it will be held In
December, thus closing the year of
the papal jubilee.
Nothing is known regarding the re-
port that two American and one Eng
lish cardinals are to be created. The
creation of cardinals is entirely in the
hands of the Pope, who often acts
without asking even the advice of his
Secretary of State, Merry Del VAL or
any other cardinal. It is improbable
that there will be any new American
cardinals, although the creation of an
English cardinal is thought likely.
