ROME, November 25.-Italian interest
shifted from the war office to the Vati-
can today. and is conferred in the eighteen
prelates of the Catholic Church now in
Rome and the ceremonies that will eie-
vate them to the dignity Of cardinal Mon
day. The entire city is decorated in honor
Of the occasion, and from the homage
being paid the visiting prelates one would
never imagine the Vatican and the gov
eminent are. hguratively. at war.
The city Is overrun with visitors from
all over the continent, and hundreds Of
American tourists are on hand to wit
ness the bestowal Of the red hat on the
three American cardinals. Falconio, Far
ley and OConnelL
Not In centuries has consistory at
tracted SO much outside interest as the
present one, owing to the large number
OF cardinals to be created and the cere-
Der 30. promise to be the most imposing
in the history of the church.
The rejoicing of Americans over the
appointment of three new American cardi-
nails is echoed here by the thousands or
Italians who tourneyed to their native
country when the first hint Of war with
Turkey spread over the United States.
IN fact devout Italians generally are
I>relates than in those Of their own blood.
This is due to the fact that they view the
recognition of the American churchmen
as sure sign of the spread Of Catholi-
cism IN the United States
Two Distinct Ceremonies.
Two distinct ceremonies will be per-
formed when the new princes of the
church receive their insignia OF office.
frgf will ha Of fha 81 IN ha
held Monday. when the cardinals are to
be formally created and receive the red
hat from the hands of the Pope. At this
ceremony the Pope will ask the opinion
of the sacred college concerning the
newly named and will then solernnly
proclaim them cardinals in the name OF
the Holy Catholic Church. The actual
words used in this rite are:
BY the authority Of the blessed apos-
ties Peter and Paul. and of our own, we
create you cardinals OF the Holy Roman
Catholic Church"
The Pope will then place the red hat
upon the newly appointed and say:
Receive for the glory Of Almighty God
see this red hat, the sign Of the un-
equaled dignity Of the cardinalate, by
which is declared that even to death by
the shedding OF thy blood thou shoudst

tranquility Of Christian people and for
the increase and prosperity Of the Holy
Roman Church. In the name of the
Father and of the Son and OF the Holy
Ghost Amen
Rings for Cardinals.
After the imposition OF the red hat the
Pope will slip upon the finger Of each
cardinal one of the distinctive ornaments
of his rank-a gold ring set with g. sap
phire and engraved on the metal surface
Of the inside with the arms of the Pope
bestoTing the rank The Pope Will use
these words in bestowing the ring:
For the honor of Almighty God and OF
the Holy Apostles SIS. Peter and Paul
and of the blessed n. n. (naming the
title) we commit unto thee the church of
=. with its clergy, people and succursal
chapelS'
Archbishop O'Connell will be assigned to
the titular Church of st. Calixtus, at
tached to the Benedictine monastery of
that name. This church was held by the
late Cardinal Nocellia, who was created
a cardinal by Pope Leo in 1903 at the
last consistory before the death of the
Pope. Cardinal Nocellia died in 1908.
The title OF Archbishop Farley will be
John Cardinal Farley Of Santa Maria
Sopra Minerva. This is the same title
held by Cardinal McCloskey and is one of
oldest churches in Rome. Each of the
new cardinals makes contribution to the
of the Faith.
The second ceremony at st. Peters
Cathedral will equal if not surpass the
first in pomp and splendor It consists of
the imposition OF the red biretta and
zuchetto. Before the bestowal. however.
there will be an imposing mass in the
presence Of the Pope, which will termi-
nate with a sermon by some prominent
preacher of the Roman Catholic faith.
The ceremonies will surpasS in pomp
and gorgeousness the conservation Of the
fourteen French bishops by Plus X four
years ago, and will set q record for the
promotion of church men Of recent times.
1t is also remarkable for its catholic
selection, and the promotion Of dignitar-
les from widely separated countries, CIV
ing the embership of the Sacred College
even more of an International representa-
ton than usual. Particularly noticeable,
in this respect, is the Pope's recognition
of America, now held by many to be the
real stronghold of the Catholic faith.
Number Is Extraordinary.
