None Likely to Be Named From Bel

Rome advices say that because of jealousies that inevitably would be aroused by selecting new cardinals among the belligerent nations, and also on account of the difficulties that for eign cardinals would encounter in go- ing to Rome, the pope had intended not to hold another consistory until the war is over. But owing to vacancies in the sacred college-the last new cardinals having been created May 10. 1914-the idea of consistory is again being agitated in Vatican circles.

SHOW SUPREMACY OF SOUL
Bright Spots in Dark Incidents of the Great Conflict Going on
 in Europe.

Courage is the universal possession of the German, the Englishman, the f'renchman, the Belgian, the Austrian, the Russian and the Japanese. The stories of individual coolness and dar- ing are so many that they have al most ceased to attract special atten- tion. The other day, when the Brit ish dreadnaught Formidable went down in {. storm, crushed like an egg shell by torpedoes or mines, its cap tain-Loxley-was on the bridge as it sank; and his last words were: Steady men; it's all right; keep cool; do not get in a panic; be British" i" Every officer was at his post; many of them had lighted cigarettes. This stirring exhibition of the fact that the man does not die when his body falls ill the trenches or sinks in the ocean can be matched in every navy and army. All Europe is fighting for invisible things. There never was such universal and commanding evi- dence that the soul of humanity is SUI preme and invincible.-From the Out lCok.

UNITED STATES RANKS HIGH
Percentage of IIIiteracy Compares We'll With Those of Other Coun- tries of the World.

In the United States the percentage of illiteracy is TT for the total popula- tion Cover ten years of age) and for the native white population. In Den mark, Germany, the Netherlands, Swe- den, Switzerland and the United King dom the percentage of illiteracy is lower than that for the native white population of the United States. Doubt less the list should also include Nor way, although no figures are available for that country; but in the other Flu ropean countries the percentage of illiteracy is higher than it is in the United States, and usually very much higher. In Bulgaria it is 65 per cent; in Greece TO-, in Hungary 33, in Italy 37, in Portugal 69, in Roumania 61, in Russia 69, in Servia 79, and in Spain 58. There is less illiteracy in Aus tralia than in the United States, but in all other non-European countries the percentage of illiteracy is in general very high.
