Pope Plus y, and what effect their choice
of Pope VIII have upon the conflict itself
and the destines OF nations. are questions
of vital interest not only to Catholics.
but to ali civilized mankind. For the
Pope, though now without temporal pos
sessions, wields Il moral influence
throughout the world that is beyond
measurement in men or money or mere
might.
AS to the question OF delay in the meet
ing. IL is the opinion OF Mgr. Russell OF
St. Patrick's Church that this will not be
materially interfered with by the pres
ent military storm that is sweeping over
the continent. Mgr Russrll has been a
life student OF world affairs.
~ do not think there ;vin be any ap-
preciable interruption IN the formal
election of the succeeding Pope on ac-
count Of the war he said to q repre-
sentative of The Star: none either in
the gathering of the cardinals or in the
progress of the work OF election. AS a
matter of fact, l think that the rulers

happy war. Will do all in their power TO
provide safe conduct for the cardinals
OF their respective realms. so that they
may proceed 10 Rome as expeditiously
as possible. This they will do | think
not only by reason OF the accustomed Of

In short" said Monseigneur Russell.
in conclusion on this point as he grew
enthusiastic with the idea of the Pope
as the worldwide peacemaker Il can
conceive of no loftier and nobler posi-
ton than that of the new Pope entering
upon his holy office as one bringing
peace to the world. He would be a figure
in history in greatness and nobility be-
yond all the greatest captains of the
world-beyond the Alexanders and Ma
poleans-because he would bring out of
the greatest of wars that greatest of
bleSsingS-peace."
But do you think that the Protestant
nations would agree to the Pope. even
though he is thus eminently fitted for
the position of peacemaker" Mon
seigneur Russell was asked,
The monseigneur replied:
"I do not feel at liberty to EXPRESS an
opinion upon that. I was only setting
forth how eminently fitted the new Pope
will be to fill this position: how he, alone,
of all those prominent in the affairs of
the world. is not only fitted by mis- holy
office for this noble part of peace
maker. but also, by reason of his utter
freedom from all possible entanglements
and bindings, is SO eminently placed on

the Turkish regime this debt became

The British authorities took up the ad-

ent will be wholly valid. The only pre-
requisite Is that the papal secretary Of

certain day-in this case the Goth of Au-

Monseigneur Russell. Il think that all
the powers will use every means they
can command to hasten the Journeys
of their respective cardinals to Rome
so that they may be there at the open
ing session of the college"
ITO what extent do you think the
war will influence the choice OF the
college of cardinals in the election of
the new Pope~' Monseigneur Russell
was asked.
"As far as the war itself is concern
ed, 1 do not think it will have any ma
terial effect upon the election; that is,
1t will have no influence upon the per-
sonnel of the candidates except to this
extent. that the cardinals will strive
unanimously to elect a Pope who is
entirely neutral.
IT do not think that the cardinals of
even the most powerful of the nations
will seek to impose upon the college a
candidate who Is frankly and avowedly
a partisan in the present great division
of world powers. That. in my opinion
would be the poorest and most unfor-
tunate of policies; a policy. indeed.
that would defeat it's own end. and
hence one that would certainly not be
followed by men gifted with the wis
dom. and farsightedness of the cardinal
college.
such action would defeat it's own
end l say because the fact that can
didate was thus openly favorable to
tense stress of the conflict would weak
en- him immeasurably with all the neu-
tral and semi-neutral powers-and
hence with their representatives in the
college.
Therefore, I think it may be put
down as a foregone conclusion that the
choice for Pope will fall upon some
one who Is entirely neutral and un-
biased in every respect. as far as con-

Turkey nominally has suzerainty over
Egypt, but its suzerainty is SO shadowy
that other nations would find it hard to
place their finger on it. Yet before the

whispers about the Sultan of Turkey re-
gaining administrative control and under
mining the British influence through the
fanaticism of the Moslem priests The
great religious war which would unite all

Alexandria itself with the dust or ,he
