Vatican on Monday morning Pope
Plus created thirteen new Cardinals,
and a number of Bishops from
various countries also were con-
firmed in their sees. At the same
time official announcement was
made of the creation of Monsignor
Bell Patriarch of Lisbon, as Car
dinal. His name has been reserved
Sin petto" at the consistory of 1911.
The ceremony, which was accom-
panied by the brilliance usual on
such occasions at the Vatican, was
preceded by short allocution, after
which the names of the new Car
dinals were announced as follows:
Monsignor Louis Lazaire Begin,
Archbishop Of Quebec, Canada.
Monsignor v. Guisasola Mendez,
Archbishop of Toledo, Spain.
Monsignor Demencio Serafini, AS
SCISSOR of the Congregation of the
Holy Office.
Monsignor Della Chiesa, Arch
bishop Of Bologna, Italy.
Monsignor John Csernock, Arch
bishop of Esztergom, Hungary.
Monsignor Francis Won Betinger,
Archbishop of Munich, Bavaria.
Monsignor Felix Won Hartman,
Archbishop of Cologne, Germany.
Monsignor F. G. Piffi. Archbishop
of Vienna, Austria.
Monsignor Phillip Giustini, Sec
retary of the Congregation of the
Congregation of the Sacraments.
Monsignor Hector Irenee SEWN,
Archbishop of Lyons, France.
Monsignor Michale Lega, Dean of
the Tribunal of the Rota.
Monsignor Scipio Tecchi, Assessor
of the Consistorial Congregation.
Right Rev. Francis Aidan Gas
quet, President of the English
Benedictines.
The Pontiff was surrounded by all
the members of the Sacred College
living in Rome and by those who are
now there, including Cardinals Glib
bons, Farley and O'Connell. The
Pope appointed Cardinal Francis
Della Volpe to the office of Cham
berlain, in which position he will
direct the affairs of the church dur
ing the conclave. Cardinal Dlomede
Falconio, formerly Apostolic Dele
gate to the United States, also was
raised to the mark of Chamberlain.
The allocution of the Pope was
strong appeal for political and
social peace through restoration of
religion and the influence of the
church. Immediately after the con-
clusion of the secret consistory the
Pontiff visited each of the new Car
dinals and handed him his formal
notice of appointment.
Cardinal Gasquet, the English
Benedietine, delivered an address in
which he said he regarded himself
as representing Rome not only in
England, but ireland, Wales and
Scotland, and "if not altogether too
ambitious, / can claim, after my re-
cent visit to the United States, to be
partly American, as / can count upon
the true and affectionate regard Of
many people in that great republic"
The Pope in the cotrse of his re-
marks declared his Constantinian
jubilee when he said: 'The whole
world seemed to lift up the Cross Of
Christ as the sole course of peace
and salvation for struggling hu-
manity. Now especially men desire
peace when class is against class,
nation against nation and people
against people, and war may break
out as the result of rivalries daily
becoming more bitter. Men OF dis
tinction and force are planning for
their nations and for humanity
schemes for preventing the calami-
ties of revolutions and the slaughter
of war and for insuring the blessings
OF peace. This Is noble project,
but their schemes will bear little
fruit. unless they insure that the
precepts OF justice and Christian
charity take deep root in the hearts
of men. The assistance of the church
as guardian Of justice and charity
and the mistress of truth is most
efficacious for the common veal. II
is regrettable that the opposite often
occurs, but the church, like Christ,
does good and receives injuries In
return. The divine help will never
fail us. We have Christ for
pledge and history for a witness"
The allocution ended by recalling
that 100 years ago Plus VII. tri-
umphantly returned TO Rome from
contumelies and captivity, and was
received with the applause OF the
world. The passage regarding linen
Lf distinction and force planning
schemes for preventing the calami-
ties OF revolution and the slaughter
OF war and for insuring the blessings
OF peace" was generally interpreted
as referring to President Wilson's
and Secretary Bryan's endeavors TO
preserve peace.
