 BEEN CREATED A CARDINAL

hoHe, Mdrcn f.-(by me A. H.J- Dennis J. Dougherty, Archbishop of Phil the princes of the church after a secret consistory at which Pope Benedict an- nounced the creation of six cardinals. The new American cardinal succeeds the
 late Cardinal John Farley cc New York. The secret consistory at which the pom | tiff proclaimed the new cardinals was | imposing in the extreme. The members l of the sacred college in their rich robes gathered in the hall of the consistory,
 and at a signal the doors were thrown | open and the pantiff, clad in white, en- | tered with an attendant behind him car l r.ng his red hat ~ As the pope walked slowly into the
 hall all present haf-knelt until he had
 passed. Then, seating himself on the
 throne at the head of the hall. Benedict
 received the homage of all present, each
 person coming forward in turn to kneel | and kill the pontiff's ring.
 Ass soon as this ceremony had ended the master of ceremonies cried out for | all outsiders to withdraw. The pontiff
 and the cardinals then were alone to
 e Try out their important task! The cor :
 sistory opened with a fervent prayer by
 the pope who afterwards delivered an
 allocution which was listened to with
 the profound attention.
 In his allocution the pontiff said he
 was rejoiced to be surrounded by the
 cardinals. to whom he would like to give
 god news, but, upfortIhain.v. the sad ness of these times did not permit of
 this. In fact it was the truth that actual war. civil discords and dissensions con- tinued in such way as to make him anxious.
 The pontiff added that he believed Inc . had profted by every occasion to endeav !, Or to re-establish peace and tranquility
 in human society, as the church haC
 done in past centuries
 "We witness iI some countries" sait !; the pontiff. bitter civil strife witt mournful, disastrous results. (The pop here was alluding to the disorders il t Italyl Elsewhere we see races tha 7 were born and grown up in the sam, lands struggle in arms for this land 2 inch by inch, thus sowing new seeds o . discord. (Here the pope was referring = to upper Silesia, Lithuania. Ukrainia, Pc = land and other small countries) Besides we see ancient struggles re
 newed and the bursting out with aopai:in
 violence of crimes in contradiction to tn
 1 laws of morality and humanity. which " s condemn, from whatever side they come.
 (The pope in this utterance had in vie, # the situation in Ireland.)
 n In conclusion the pontiff said: f "All agree that the peace treatie 5. concluded will lead to nothing unles |, the spirits of citizens are permeated b # those sentiments of justice and char e ty' which the Christian doctrines in ,ul e ate and which in the time of St Franel d were so efficacious. If in all individual l. cupidity is repressed or turned to goo " ends society will feel the benehcIent ef
 feet; and also if from mutual fraterns S love all classes of citizers feel as C'hr.s l- tians, reciprocal confidence will bios el som, which prove better than anythin II else in helping to establish and main <. tain peace"
 it The list of the new cardinals havin k been read the pope inquired as eac .- name was pronounced, Has anyon
 aught to say'"
 .s To this each cardinal present replie d by simply rising to his feet, bowling. ar, e lifting his red hat as a token of con IS tents Then the pontiff proclaimed tn n new cardinals.
