Rome. February 13.AThe Vatican an
nounced officially today that the Most
Rev Dennis j. Dougherty, archbishop OF
Philadelphia, will be created cardinal
at the secret consistory to BE held early
in March.
Monsignor Dougherty will be the only
new American cardinal named at the
next consistory. Archbishop Mundelein
of Chicago and Archbishop Hayes of New
York, although they probably will receive
the red hat before long, will not be in
cluded in the appointments in March,
even as cardinals reserved in pectore, as
the pontiff generally has recourse to this
system only when there are weiSnty
reasons not to publish Immediately the
creation of certain cardinals. The most
recent example of this was the 1916 con-
sistory, when the Pope created several
new French cardinals. but reserved n
pectore Monsiknor Bertram, arcnpisnop
of Bresiau, and Mensignor de Huyii'
archbishop OF Prague. The Pope consia-
cred it unsuitable during the war 20
publish the creation of two new cafol-
nails belonging to the central empires.
Once the war was over. Monsignor Ber-
tram was proclaimed cardinal in the con-
sistory of December, 1918, but the APP
pointnent of Monsignor de Huyn, VINO
was obliged to leave his DEGREES TO the
Czecho-Slovak, Monsignor korado Was
never published and perhaps never VIII
be. No such important reasons Tor the
maintenance of secrecy over the erea-
ton OF American cardinals presahed. ana
il is not believed that any to be reserved
in pectore at the next eonsistory WIN
belong to the United States
VICAR HELD INVALUABLE
In Vatican circles it is pointed out tnat,
according to the Catholic doctrine, the
Pope is the vicar of Christ on earth, rep
resents the divine authority, is the III
termediary between heaven and the faith
full and fixes the dogma, as he is IN
fallible because interpreting the DIVINITY

a democratic chief.
Therefore the creation OF carainais -

Monsgnor Dougherty is. expected to ar

be received with the honors due TO ms
new status. He will be welcomed at the

HAYES. who is leaving Rome February
- FOR Naples, where he will rest for
a week before sailing after his strenuous
life in Rome. Although Archbishop
Hayes limited the number OF persons
seeing him to the minimum, he felt the
strain considerably.
