ANCIENT Myth CAUSES

Tradition, Fulfilled with Death

POSSIBILITIES In AMERICA
pedal Cable to The washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Head.
Rome Dec. a0-"when one dies three
die" So runs the ancient tradition of
Rome when the death of a cardinal Is
announced.
The tradition has been varied within
the week First, Tuto, the learned Span
lard and trusted friend OF his holiness; a
short while later the beloved oreglia,
dean OF the Sacred College, and a per-
sonality Of might in the Vatican, passed
away on December 5. The third to be
called was Rampolla, who died Tuesday
-Rampolla, man Of wisdom, and deep
piety, the papal secretary OF state under
Pope Leo XIII, a papal possibility him.

With the unusually large number OF
vacancies now existing in the Sacred
College, the early calling Of a consistory
Is inevitable. fact which will naturally
arouse in the mind OF the American
Catholics the possibility of the elevation
of one or two notable prelates Of the
United States.
It was said after the 1911 consistory at
which the red hat was conferred on
Archbishops Farley of New York and
O'Connell of Boston, that the holy father
would not consider the advisability
Of another American cardinal for the
present, but that was two and a half
years ago. Many events have happened
since to warrant a change OF reasoning.
While, of course, not the slightest in
timation has ever been given here of
any such intention on the part of the
Vatican. the names OF two American
archbishops are always brought to mind
when the subject presents itself These
are Archbishops John Ireland Of st. Paul,
and James e. Quigley Of Chicago.

Winston Churchill, Whose Mother
Was Miss Jerome Of New York,
Mentioned for Place.
spedsI Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald
London, Dec. 20-There is a great pos
sibility that the next prime minister Of
Great Britain will be the son Of an Amer
ican woman.
That man is Winston Churchill, now
first lord Of the admiralty, the son of
Lady Randolph Churchill, formerly the
beautiful Miss Jennie Jerome, of New
York.
Not that Mr.. Asquith contemplates vol
unfairly relinquishing the burdens Of
the office of the premier, much as it is
said he would like to do so. He is not
the kind of man, to quote Abraham Lin
coin. "to swap horses in midstream." Mr..
Asouith will see the home rule passed
finally into operation next April, or he
win die with his cabinet fighting in the
attempt.
But there is one thing certain he does
not want to do. and that is to make a
fresh appeal to the country on the home
rule question. If forced to do so-and
many believe this event will be inevitable
ii is almost certain that Unionist gov
ernment will be returned, and with 1t
Winston Churchill at It's head.
For a long time the signs have been
wanting to show which way the wind Is
blowing for the advcnturesome young
first lord. Day by day political events
multiply to show that he is getting rest
less in the ranks of the Liberal party,
and at the same time the Liberal party
is becoming highly nervous about him.

London. Dec. 2o.-Are rich people so
careless of wealth that they think moth
ing Of appropriating other peoples goods?
This is q question suggested by the
plea OF Lady Muriel Paset. who had
charge Of the recent great society Pic
ture Ball. in Albert Hall
Lady Muriel is appealing through the
newspapers for the return Of some thirty
pairs Of opera glasses, which were pro-
vided for the convenience of the specta-
tors. Failing the recovery Of the missing
binoculars, their cost reaching into hun
dreds of dollars, will fall upon the funds
rightly belonging to the charity for which
the ball was given.
ct am quite unable to offer an expiana-
ton for the strange disappearance Of the
opera glasses" said Lady Muriei. but
the extraordinary fact remains that the
glasses which were lent to those occu-
pying cheaper seats were all returned.
Those missing were among the ones lent
to the occupants of the boxes and stalls "
It is hard luck, certainly, on Lady
Muriel, whose tremendous work In or
ganizing the ball met with poor financial
results. It is hoped the financial situa-
ton was improved by the repetition of
the ball at the Gayety Theater Tuesday
night. at which many well-known So
ciety people were present notably the
Duchess of Marlborough, who easily
looked the most distinguished woman In
the audience. She wore black velvet
with a superb stole Of chinchilla-
It Is stated that early in the new year
the Duke Of MARLBOROUGH will join the
duchess somewhere on the Continent and
that the long separated pair will return
to London to live, at any rate, under the
same roof.

sovereign rights of the head OF the church
over the Leonine City; that is, the Vati-
can and surrounding grounds.
Proposal Lpoch-mnkinE.
The proposal. besides representing an
epoch-making departure in Vatican poll
tics, is at the same time a recognition Of
the program Of the modernists- 1t is re-
marked here that the first to consider
himself indicated by Archbishop Rossi's .
proposal is Archbishop Ireland. Of St
Paul, Mimi, who, years ago forfeited his
right to the red hat for having entertained
similar ideas.
Archbishop Rossi did not speak of his
own initiative. -Four days previously he
was in Rome and was received by the
Pope and Cardinal del Val, the Vatican
secretary Of state. Hence the belief that
the speech was inspired by the Pope him.

A furious controversy Is now raging
between the liberal. and clerical press of
the country over the proposal to give the
Pope an international guarantee that the
law regulating his status in Italy will
neither be changed nor repealed; and
there are many who hope that the day
is not far distant when the Pope Of the
Catholics and the King of the Italians
will be seen side by side In the streets Of
Rome.

cipal hopes Of the Unionists; his week

the next Unionist government is almost

very trying to radical nerves.
1t is not that these social emenities are
IN themselves disturbing, but, REINFORCED
by other signs, they betoken coming
alienation from the advanced ISberai
policy. Since his transference from the
home office to the admiralty they are a
constant source of glowing irritation to
his party. Coupled with this is Mr..
Churchilfs well-known penchant for al
ways being on the winning side and the
fact that the Unionist party needs him
badly.
Rebukes Of different kinds have, from
time to time, been addressed to Mr..
Churchill by the various party organs.
He has been reproved even for taking a
trip In an aeroplane. Others have COM
mented on his spacious ideas for a great
navy and now the Daily Chronicle. one

government attacks him for his Views

Eight years ago Mr.. Churchill alienated
himself from the Unionist party, not be-
cause of any violent conflict with the
principles Of the party, but because he
saw no prospect of his own progress In
Unionist councils, together with his in
satiable passion for power. These same
reasons will almost fnevita hlv drt,,. NJ,

In order to fully understand the great
