ONE-ADD POPE NOON

NETAD FOHh MUM =. >. .. =.
Owing to the necessity of electing
a pope to succeed the late Plus x
during a war in which all Europe is
involved, this is one of the most crit
ical in the entire history of the Catho-
lie church.
The Italian government, however,
officially announced today that full
liberty will be guaranteed the
churches and the cardinals while the
members of the Sacred College are
engaged in the balloting for the new
pope.
1t is hoped the warning nations will
permit the passage Of special trains
to bring the foreign cardinals to the
conclave. These trains will fly black

Germany, France, Austria, Belgium
and other nations engaged in the war
to expedite their passage.
Despite the efforts that may be
made it was considered certain today
that the foreign cardinals will be de-
layed. 1t is not believed that a suffi-
cient number of them will be able to
reach Rome on time to insure the
election of a foreign pope. For this
reaso Cardinals Ferrata and Mafi
r regarded as the most likely can
didates.
Cardinal Ferrata is secretary of the
Congregation of the Holy Office. He
was made a acrdinal in 1896 and is
81 years old.
The body of the pope will remain
in charge of the "p~enitenzieri" until
removed to st. Peters. When the
physicians announced the pontif
dead, the Noble Guard was immedi-
ately summoned and took stations
about the death bed and the death
chamber.
The ~'penitenzieri" began the recit-
ing of Psalms and the funeral offices
OF the QeaQ. InlS was kept up until
the arrival Of Cardinal Della Volpe.
Dressed in the violet surplice and
cape of his Office and accompanied
by other prelates and clergy of the
apostolic chamber, the cardinal cam
erlengo entered the death chamber.
He dropped for a moment to his
knees on a violet cushion while he
offered up a silent prayer. Then he
approached the death bed of the late
pope.
Drawing back the veil which cover
ed the face and head of the pontiff,
the cardinal struck three times upon
the forehead with the silver mallet of
his Office.
After each blow he called the bap-
tismal name of the pope, Giuseppe
Sarto."

Messages summoning the sc card
inals of the sacred college to Rome
for the conclave at which a successor
to Pope Plus x will be selected were
dispatched today by Cardinal Merry
Del Val, papal secretary of state, The
conclave must be held ten days after
the death of the pope.
Owing to the state of wal in Eu-
ropean nations which will be repre-
scented in the conclave, it is feared
that many of the cardinals may not
be able to reach Rome within ten
days. In that event the Italian card
inals and others who may be able to
do so, will enter the conclave and vot-
ing will start as soon as a quorum is
present.

equity manifestations which had long
threatened his life.
AS nation after nation was drawn
into the terrible conflict the Pope was
in%consolable. One of his great griefs
was that thousands of young men of
all nations, studying for the priest
hood in Roman seminaries, were
obliged to return to their native coun-
tries and take up arms. Great tears
streamed down his face as he ex-
pressed his grief to his advisors that
these lives consecrated to the work
of the church should be sacrificed up
on the field of battle.
