Pope Plus Also
Breaks Precedent
Forbidding Cheers
ENDS CUSTOM AND AMERICAN
SAILORS INFORMED
OF ORDER.

ROME. Nov 22.--cheering has
strictly been forbidden at the vatican,
and thus another traditional custom
has passed away. When formerly the
pope gave audiences to pilgrims who
came to Rome from all over the world,
there was a hushed silence during the
bestowng OF the papal blessing and
then 1t used to be suddenly broken
by reclamation, cheering and similar
ovations.
Leo XIII used 70 smile encourage
ment to the cheering pilgrims. Plus Y.
however has had notices put up in
st. Peters forbiddinE cheers. At re-
cent audiences he would motion silence
to those around him, while he carried
in the gestatorial chair. Gradually
cheering in st Peters died out. II
was stf1l used, however, at public au-
diences in the open air or in the halls
OF the Vatican. when the papai au-
d!ences were recently resumed, fhe
pope appeared on the balcony TO bless
the pilgrims in the court yard of st
Damascus and 1t was practically I'm
possible to prevent cheers. but since
the audiences have been within the
Vatican. the prohibitio rule has been
enforced.
Monsignor Kennedy, rector of the
American college in Rome. has been
requested TO inform the American
sailors now visiting In Italy that no
cheers will be allowed.
The American sailors who are on
shore leave for long periods, have all
been conducting them selves as be-
hooves good Americans and their be-
haylor, despite the criticism of the
Italian press has been most exem-
p!ary.
The sailors on shore leave at Naples
seem to fraternize greatly with the
Italian soldiers. 1t Is n common sight
to see the sailors wearing the piumed
hats of the Boer sagiieri and the lat
ter the sailor caps. There has been
an occasional scrape, but up to the
present time there has been no serious
trouble.

parents discouraged her intentions
