AMERICAN CARDINAL
MAY BE APPOINTED

Rome, Feb. 9.-Pope Benedict may
appoint a Catholic of American birth
as the fourth American in the sacred
college, to succeed the late Cardinal
Falconio. Death of the cardinal, one
of the Vatican's ablest diplomats and
a naturalized American citizen since
1872, was announced last night. He
was formerly p&pal delegate to the
United States and one of the most
popular representatives of the church
ever accredited to there. When Fall
COMO was given the red hat in 1911 by
Pope Plus, ii was understood the holy
father intended the appointment to be
considered as an indication of the vati-
cans growing appreciation of Americas
part in the church affairs by thus in
creasng the American representation
in the cardinalate,
The other American cardinals are
Cardinal Gibbons, Cardinal O'Connell
and Cardinal Farley.

BLUNT PHRASEOlOGY USED
IN THE NOTE FROM CHILE

Santiago, Chile, Feb. 9.-The Chilean
government declares it is free to claim
respect OF its rights in case of any
hostility to any Chilean ship, was the
blunt phraseology contained in the
note which the Chilean government
today handed to the German minister
for dispatch TO Berlin.
Throughout, the note repudiates
Germany's right to establish the sub
marine gone, and its terms indicate
complete acceptance, short OF break
ing relations. of the position taken by
the United States
The restrictions imposed by Ger
many in her barred zone" the note
declared, mean restriction of neutral
rights. Chile cannot accept such re-
strictions, they are contrary to the old
principles favoring neutrals, and their
acceptance by Chile would signify that
the Chilean government is no longer
neutral"

George Washington, Victim
of Submarine Attack, Not
an American Citizen, as
First Reported.

London. Feb. George Wash
ington, negro of the Turino, killed
in the unwarned German subma-
rine attack on that vessel yester-
day, was probably not an Ameri
can citizen. The American consul
at Liverpool formally replied to
the embassy here today that first
reports to this effect were appar-
entity erroneous. The consul said
Washington was a resident of Liv-
crpool had never registered as an
alien, and it was understood he
was born in Alberta.
The dispatch indicated the con-
sui was making a careful investiga-
ton of the nsgro's status. Accord
ing to war laws, all Americans. be-
ing aliens, are forced to register
in England, and it is assumed here
that if Washington did so register,
he must have convinced British
officials that he was not an alien,
but Il citizen.
