Elevation of Prelates by the Pope
the Striking Feature OF
Consistory.
PUBLIC CEREMONY TO-DAY
Pontiff Creates Another Cardinal

lieved to Be the Patri-
arch of Lisbon.

Rome, Nov. Elm the Hall Of Con-
sistories at the Vatican to-day the formal
ratification of the Pope's nomination of
IS new members of the Sacred College
was carried out with simple ceremonial.
The striking feature of the consistory,
which was attended only by the Pope
and the cardinals resident in Rome, as
well us the visiting cardinals, was the
elevation of three American prclates.
Mgr. Farley, archbishop of New York
Mgr. O'Connell. archbishop of Boston,
and Mgr. Falconio. the apostolic delegate
at Washington. who now retires from that
office.
The actual bestowal Of the red hat has
been reserved for Thursday when the
public consistory will be held in the Hall
Of the Identification. and much more
stately ceremony will mark the occasion.
The Pontiff himself seemed to feel the
great Importance of the event to-day with
respect to the relation of America to the
church. In private conversation he said
that the nourishing condition of Catholic
ism in America would remain in history
as one Of the chief characteristics of his
pontifcate.
It was decree Of Plus X which re-
moved America from the jurisdiction
of propaganda, thus lifting It out of
the class of missionary lands and the
granting of three cardinals to the
great republic is evidence that that
country has now been raised in the
eyes Of the Holy See to the same level
as the European Catholic countries
which have traditional attachment
to the church.

more than 600 visitors came to offer
their congratulations. Among the
number We're II cardinals. The three
cardinals lunched at the college. where
they We're enthusia stically greeted by
the students.
The announcement is made that the
Pope has created another cardinal "in
pectore." The identity of the prelate
thus honored is. of course. secret but
those best informed think that the new
cardinal will be the patriarch Of Lis
bon, Mgr. A. Mondes Belle The an
nouncemont of the name has been re-
served, It is believed, owing to the
strained relations between Portugal
and the church.
