CARDINAL DEL VAL
WILL SOON RESIGN
TBy Associated press.l

ROME, Sept. 29.--According to Avan-
Il. Cardinal Merry Del Val. the papal
secretary of state, is about to retire.
This step, it is asserted, is an outcome
of representations made to the Vatican
by American and English prelates, but
particularly Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
bishop Ireland, who objected to the
secretarys severe measures against
modernism.
According to the Avanti, Cardinal
Vannutelli received these complaints in
London at the time of the Eucharistic
congress and transmitted them to the
pope. In event of Merry Del VaPs re-
tirement he will be succeeded by Car
office.
Rampolla's return to power would
mean a policy of dignified conciliation
with regard to France and an attitude
of greater reserve toward Italy.
