tBy The United Press)

Rome. Feb. 6.-Achilleo Car dinal Ratti was elected Pope on the seventh ballot of the Sacred College to succeed the late Pope Benedict XIV. He will assume the name of Pope Plus XII.
 Ratti's election was not a surprise, although he was one of the newest cardinals, having been created in June, 1921, by the late Pope Benedict.
 The secretary of the conclave priests proceeded with the rob- ing of the newly elected Pope at 1:03 D. m. White robes which were prepared for the ceremony were put on Ratti, and the secretary of the con- clave knelt and handed him the white cap which designated him the supreme Pontiff. Thus attired Ratti returned to the chapel and ascended the tenn porery papel throne which had been prepared, overlooking the seats of the cardinals.
 The date of the coronation and place where it is to be held will be designated by Ratti himself.
 Ratti is in hi sixty-fifth year. Although an Italian, he is better known in Poland, where he was papal representa- tive for sevcrals years. He was born in Milan in 1857.
 Ratti becomes the 26lst Pope since the time of St. Pe- ters.

 The fate of the treaties rests. of course, with the Democratic sena- OTIS. majority of whom have up to he present time declined to commit themselves one way or the other. )ne report is that 22 Democratic enators are probably against the our-power treaty, but even this lumber would not be enough to de- ,eat it, for it would leave IA for ratification, which would mean that order to reject, Il Republicans would have to vote no on ratifi- cation.

IL " ea ANCAtl5A S5lti No3 ttidt when the treaties With Germany, Austria and Hungary wore submit ed to the Senate by President Hard ng that Senator Underwood sup ported the president and urged rati- ication. Up to the last moment hat preceded the ratificating vote, 1t was the general view in the Senate Hobbies and corridors that Underwood would not be able to hold more than seven or eight Democrats in line On the final bal lot, however, 15 or not quite half the Democratic total, swung to the support of the Alabama senator, and the treaties were ratified
