dinal may have two attendants. The
pontificial choir then chants the "Veni.
Creator Spiritus."
Next follows the reading of the apos-
tolic constitution by the dean of the
cardinals. Practically everything is
now in readiness for the cardinals to
proceed with the actual election. but
in order that they have time to medi-
tate on the meaning of the constitution
an adjournment is taken until after
noon.
At this time they meet and receive
the oaths of the attendants and Off
GERS of the election. After this prelim-
mary there is more time for meditation
and individual prayer.
In the evening. as has been said, the
conclave is closed to all but the cardi-
I nails, and the attendants and officers
| leave the palace. The last door is
| locked and the keys turned over to the
| chamberlain. The governor and the
| marshal, two officers appointed among
| the palace officials. then guard the
! door. Sentinels are also stationed in
J every room adjoining the chamber to
see that there is no communication.
! Except to announce that new pope
has been chosen. this door may be
opened only in the event Of the sick
ness of one of the cardinals.
Within the palace the cardinals spend
! the night in silence and prayer and
meditation preparatory to the real
business of the election the next day.
Methods of Election.
There are three ways in which a
new pontiff may be elected without
balloting-by reclamation, inspiration
and alteration, Gregory VII. was
elected by acclamation, but cases in
which a pontfff has been chosen other
than by balloting have been rare.
The balloting is secret and the bal
lots which are used are elaborate af-
fairs. They are three part ballots. On
one fold are the name of the cardinal
his title and his seals. On another fold
is a number. and under this each car
Sinai places motto, known only to
himself, in order to identify his ballot
after it is voted.
Then he says aloud the electoral
oath:
1 bear witness. Christ the Lord who
will judge me, that 1 chose him whom
judge before God should be chosen, and
will do the same on the accession.
With these words each cardinal
drops his ballot in the chalice. salutes
the cross and returns to his place.
Two-thirds Vote Needed.
1t takes a two-thirds majority tC
elect any one. and generally no one il
eligible but a member of the college
of cardinals. This is laid down by
custom rather than ny law. however.

Paris. Dec. 21, 4.50 p. m.-The minis terial declaration on the military sit- uation which will be read tomorrow upon the reopening of parliament is understood to be unusually brief, as now prepared, sketching the situation only in outline. Many members of parliament desire to question the gov ernment in detail concerning various phases of the military operations. It Is quite likely that a secret session will be demanded, so that confidential information may be communicated.
 The cabinet discussed this subject at today's meeting and apparently it is willing to have parliament take any course it chooses concerning secret sessions.
 The various party groups held meet ings today to determine what attitude they should take. The expectation Is that the session will be a businesslike
