PAPAL SECRETARY OF
STATE PASSES AWAY
Cardinal Ferrata, Victim of Append
cits and Pentonitis-One of Vati-
cans Most Finished Diplomats.
SUCCEEDED MERRY DEL VAL

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald.
Rome. Oct. 10.-The papal secretary OF
state. Cardinal Ferrata, died here at 1:3o
o'clock this afternoon.
The secretary's death was the result OF
a complication OF appendicitis and perl
tonitis. He had been in failing health
for some time.
Pope Benedict XIV, who is much broken
up by the loss of his secretary, sent his
final benediction a few hours before the
end came.
Cardinal Domenico Ferrata was born IN
1871 near Montefascone, Italy. He was
thoroughly trained in church diplomacy,
and was regarded in later years as one
of the finished diplomats Of the Vatican.
AS papal nuncio at Paris and prefect Of
the Congregation Of Bishops In Rome.
Cardinal Ferrata proved his abilities.
He was prominently mentioned in 1901
for the post Of papal secretary Of state
following the resignation Of the late Car
dinal Rampolla- The appointment went
to Cardinal Merry del Val, however, and
Cardinal Ferrata had to wait until the
election of Benedict XIV as the success
sor of Plus X for his appointment. He
had been papal secretary Of state for
little more than a month.
Cardinal Ferrata was regarded by many
az the best man in the college to handle
the difficult position of secretary of state
In the Vatican. His various diplomatic
experiences had brought him into touch
with the leading statesmen Of Italy, and
he was favorably known to the present
King, who was said to have been espe-
cialiy pleased at his selection.
Probab2 Cardinal Ferrata's best diplo-
matte work was done at Paris. where
he was nuncio for six years. During his
stay there, there developed a friendly
understanding between the government
and the Vatican, and many believe that
IL Cardinal FerTata had been Permitted
to stay at that post the breach between
the church and the French government
would never have taken place.
He was prominently mentioned as q pos
sible successor OF the late Pope Plus.

YOU HAVE OUR MORAL
SUPPORT, THAT'S ALL

The Federal Reserve Board yesterday
formally approved in principle the plan
Of st. Louis bankers for raising a Sl51-
10000 fund to finance the cotton crop.
The plan already had been approved by
President Wilson.
The action Of the board followed a con-
ference yesterday morning between a sub
committee appointed by the board and a
committee Of ST. Louis bankers and bust,
ness men, headed by Mr.Festus J. Wade,
president of the st. Louis Clearing House
Association.
The report Of the subcommittee was
presented TO the board at a meeting yes
terday. and Gov. Hamlin was instructed
u write a letter TO Mr.. Wade, informing
him of the boards attitude.
The letter makes Il clear that the
boards approval is made only Of the
principle Of the plan, and that no stand
is taken with reference to the details OF
the plan. 1t is said that the bankers
committee requested that the board as
sumo q direct connection with the pro-
posed syndicate. II was pointed out in
the conference that the only thing the
beard properly could 20 would be to
give its moral support to the plan.

On Tuesday the sth. the enemy's guns
were active in the afternoon. It is be-

Opposite one or two points the Ger

in advance OF their trenches, so that they

''It is reported that at one point where
the French were much annoyed by the
IRE Of q German machine gun which was
otherwise inaccessible, they drove a mine
gallery fifty meters (about ffty-five
yards) along up to and under the en-
placement and blew up the gun. The
men who drove the gallery belonged TO
q corps which was recruited in one Of
the coal mining districts Of France.

London. Oct Io.-Much attention Is be-
ing attracted today by the speech made
at Tfehurst, Reading. BY Capt Buchan-
an Dunlop, who was wounded at Mons.
He appeared with his head swathed in
bandages, having been injured by shell.
He said in part:
Il think England might get a very good
lesson from the Inhabitants Of France
and Belgium. All the way as We pro-
ceeded through that country all the in
habitants turned out and did all they
could for US. They brought us coffee,
bread and butter, cigarettes, and every
thing they could think of. The ladies
even turned out balls of string in case
the men might find them useful and
handkerchiefs. We advanced up through
this country, and then had to retire
through It.
You can imagine our feelings going
back through the same country that we
had previously traversed. This did not
make the slightest difference to the way
we were treated by the inhabitants They
brought US coffee and the rest OF the
things Just as before. Their one desire
appeared to be 10 help US and they SEEM
ed to place the utmost reliance on Great
Britain and our troops, although they
knew that our numbers were small
They could not understand why we
were retiring. but they never seemed TO
murmur. Fugitives flying from their
homes were eager to give us Of the food
which they were carrying back for their
own consumption. What struck US the
whole time was the thought, II this was
in England! What an awful thing IL
would be to have an individual army in
England, and all that Is now going on
in France.
Il will tell you just two little stories
which will show you how our men have
plenty Of pluck and fight left in them
still. I was talking to an officer OF my
own regiment yesterday, and he told me
about a fight on Wednesday week when
one Of his men lying Just in front Of him
under heavy FIRE, turned to him and said,
Sir may I retire?' 'WhyT asked the
officer. Sir replied the man, I have
been hit. three times
Here is another little incident: On
the very first day We were holding a
canal bank. and during the night we had
orders to retire, having held the enemy
OF all day. We were to blow up the
bridges. By some mishap a sergeant
with ten men were left on the wrong
side Of that canal with the Germans
about 200 yards in front We could hear
the Germans talking. The next morning
when We called the Tol we expressed sor-
row at thinking that this sergeant and
his men must have been captured. In
the morning. when they found they were
cut OF, what did they do? They did
not put up their hands, but blazed away
at the Germans. with the result that the
Germans fed and the sergeant and his
men got away"
