ADDITIONAL KON0RS
FOR CARDINALS HERE
Pope Will Send Red Biretta by
Special Delegations, Accom-
panied by Noble Guard.
CONSISTORY EARLY IN 1912
UNITED States Assumes That
Important Place in the Senate
of the Church to Which
It Is Entitled. "

Rome. oct. 29-The creation of three
American cardinals has aroused intense
interest in Rome. The distinction con-
ferred upon America is the highest III
the history of the Church, considering
that that country until 1908 was Sill
missionary country in the eyes OF the
Vatican, and under the jurisdiction OF the
Congregation Of Propaganda.
To add solemnity to the honor con-
ferred upon America, the Pope, instead
of having the new cardinals come here
for the consstory In November, win
send them the red biretta by special
delegations, each composed of a monsig-
nor among the Papal and private cham
berlains, accompanied by a noble guard.
Ths new cardinals later will come to
Rome TO receive the red hat from the
hands Of the Pope In consistory to be
held early next year
Under similar conditions England is
the only country that has ever had three
cardinals at one time, Newman, Man
ming and Howard their entrance into
the Sacred College being due to their
commanding personalities. In the pres
ent instance, it is stated, the Pope has
decided TO elevate three American p.el-
ates to the cardinalate, in accordance
with his oft repeated assertion that he
desired TO show the great appreciation
he has of the influence of America and
the enlightenment of the episcopacy
there.
The Pope to-day recalled that when
he was elected Pontiff the first pilgrim
age he received was an American pill
grimage, and also that the first flags
waved in st. Peters for his election and
the first he blessed were American flags.
on that occasion he promised Cardinal
Gibbons that eventually he would ap-
point not one but several American car
dinals.
