ment of the Germans toward our left
wing and in order not to accept battle
under conditions which might have
been unfair, our troops withdrew to-
ward the south ana southwest" it
said. "Our forces have stopped for
the time being the enemy in the

verse, but one that can be repaired,

moved from Paris to Bordeaux.

sienor Misciatelli, sub-prefect of the

from the new pope asking that the
gratiags Of the Basilica Of st. Peter
be opened, because he purposed in a
short time to issue his proclamation.
At this hour, 11:20 O'Clock, the
master of ceremonies appeared on the
central balcony of St Peters and
spread cue the red carpets The crowd
below, which had been waiting for
hours in the square in the expectation
of an announcement as to the outcome
of the deliberation of the sacred col

been reached. The people applauded
vigorously.
At 25 minutes before 12 o'clock, Car

pronounced the ritual announcing the
election of Cardinal della Chiesa.
To this he added that the new pope
had chosen the name of Benedict
XIV.

began to make their way into the
Basilica to hear the benediction of the
new pontiff.

China Files a protest

Peking, Sept 3.-The exact number
of japanese troops ashore at Lung
Kow, the Chinese port north of Using
Tau cannot be definitely determined
there It is believed, however, that no
fewer than 5000 men already are on
shore and that $4,000 more are com
ing
The Chinese officials of Lung Kow
politely protested against the landing
OF Japanese forces. The Japanese
accepted the protest with equal po-
Iliteness and then proceeded to disre-
garded it, There was no hostile incl
dent during the Lung Kow landing.
The foreign office has formally pro
tested to the Japanese and British le-
cations here against the violation of
China's neutrality involved in the
landing at Lung Kow, which, being 100
miles from Using Tau, is approximate
ly 20 miles beyond the confines of the
German leased territory Knowing,
however, that its protest would be
useless, the foreign office, at the same
time, requested the Japanese and
British officers to eonfine their opera
tions to the apne extending on the
north from Lung Kow to Liao Chow,
and on the south to the previously
prescribed fighting area. Neither le-

CAREER IN WORK OF saw
ING SOULS

Rome, Sept. 3.-Cardinal Giacono
della Chisea. who was today elected
pope by the sec-ed college, IN success
sion to Plus x :ssho died August 20,
was created a cardinal May 25, 1914
He is the archbishop of Bologna,
Italy.
He was born at Pegli in tho diocese
of Genese, November 21 1854, and
was ordained a priest December 21,
1878 He served as secretary of the
nunciature in Spain from 1888 to
1887, in which year he was appointed
secretary to the late Cardinal Ram
polla.
He was appointed substitute secre-
tary of state in 1901 and in 1907 he
was elected 70 the post of advisor TO
the holy office.
In 1907 he was appointed papal
nuncio of Madrid in succession to
Monsignor Rianaldini, but this ap-
pointment was cancelled three days
later. This incident had occurred just
before he was made archbishop of
Bologna. The new pope has assumed
the name of Benedict XIV
The choice falls on a cardinal of
italian birth, as was expected from
tradition and also from the disturbed
conditions in Europe. 1t was at the
age of "a that the new pope was or
dained in the priesthood. He soon at
tracted the attention of Cardinal Ram
rolla, later secretary of state for
Pope Leo Kill When Cardinal Ram
polal was made nuncio to Madrid he
took Monsignor della Chiesa with him
as secretary of nunciature.
On Cardinal Rampolla's return to
Rome to become secretary of state for
the Vatican, Monsignor della Chiesa
ertered the secretariat of state as one
of "minutomiti" or MINOR officials, un-
til 1901, when he was appointed sub
stitute of the secretary and also secre-
tary of the cypher
As secretary to the secretary of
state Cardinal della Chiesa was then
brought into notable prominence
Throughout the Catholic hierarchy, but
his position was not at that time of
cardinalist rank. On the accession of
Pope Plus X, Monsignor della Chiesa
continued in the secretariat until
December 16, 1907. whens the pope
gave him a noted promotion TO the
position of archbishop of the important
see of Bologna.
For seven years he administered the
see of Bologna with notable success,
until in May last, Pope Plus x named
him among 1S members of the hier.

other cardinals named at that time,

Military experts agree that Paris
will soon be the pivot of the hostile
forces operating in the era of the

French capital is not expected to end
the operations.

one of the greatest ever fought. Evil
IDENTIFY it resulted in a decisive and
perhaps overwhelming defeat of the
Austrians. The battle line extended
over 200 miles and it is estimated
that 100000 men were engaged. Ac-
cording to an official dispatch receiv-
ed by Emperor Nicholas from Grand
Duke Nicholas, commander in chief
of the Russian forces, the victory was
won after seven days of fighting. The
climax came when the Austrians were
routed in a final desperate assault on
the Russian center, whfch was held
by General Ruszky. The Austrian
army in Galicia was acting in close
cooperation with two German army
corps facing Breslau and seeking to
envelop the Russian forces in Poland.
Their plans, however, met with a
series of disasters, ending in COM
plete rout when an attempt was made
to pierce the Russian center.
