Plus XII. RETAINS GASPARRI
AS HIS PAPAL SECRETARY

two-tlrds vote for Cardinal Ratti had
been verified, Cardinal Vannutelli, as
dean of the Sacred College, arose and
proceeded to the throne of the chosen
one, accompanied on either side by
Cardinals Logue and Bisleti, respec-
lively deans of the Cardinal priests and
the Cardinal deacons. He was asked in
Latin by Cardinal Vannutelli in accord
ance with custom, if he accepted the
election to be Supreme Pontiff, and the
new Pope answered with the formal
"Since it is the will of Goo. l must
obey"
Then the purple canopies over the
thrones of the Cardinals were let down,
cne by one until only that over the new
Pontiff remained. This was done to
show that the whole Sacred College
rendered opeisance to the new head of
the Church. The new Pope was then
escorted to the anteroom within the Sis
tine Chapel where he discarded his Car
Ginals robes, assisted by the con-
clavists. and the papal vestments, which
lad been held in readiness since the
opening of the conclave, were placed
upon him. These included the white
cassock, white sash, white stockings, red
slippers. a red and gold mozzetta, and
finally the stole of red, worked with
gold.
The Pontiff fully vested in the papal
carb and accompanied by his Cardinals.
thereupon returned to the throne he had
occupied in the Sistine Chapel
There the Cardinals, according to
their rank. and headed by Vannutelli,
made his first act of alteration to his
Holiness, kissing first his feet and then
his hands, after which the Pope re-
ceived them in embrace and bestowed
upon them his first apostolic benedc-
ton.
The "Fisherman's Ring was placed
on his finger and he left the chapel, the
whole assembly vending its way through
the Sala Ducale and the Sala Regia
along the loggias to the Sala Clemen-
tina, the Pope's official residence.

has been noted for his love Of books and
mountains. At the age of 10 we used
to go on excursions over the hills, and he
distinguished himself by his ability and
endurance.
From our hills he turned then to the
Alps and became great mountainteer.
OF his climbs, three are particularly i'm
portant-Cervin (Matterhorn), Mont
Blanc and Monte Rosa. He was the
very first to reach the summit of Mont

POPE SPEAKS ENGLISH
AND WROTE $50 BOOKS

LONDON, Feb. eminent Catholics
in London received the selection of
Cardinal Ratti as Pope with the great
est satisfaction. His erudition and tact
are especially stressed and his intimacy
with the English language, which he
speaks with ease, will be noted with
satisfaction here and in America.
The new Pope is described as great
inguist being credited with knowing
twenty-six languages, although his ad-
mirers suggest the number perhaps is
exaggerated. He has written $40 books.
One member of the Westminster
Cathedral clergy told the Daily Mail
that Cardinal Ratti is exceptionally
ascetic. and that when librarian at
Milan, he took only one meal daily after
his morning coffee. He rose at A. NJ.
and seldom retired before l o'clock in
the morning, and devoted at least five
hours day to silent prayer.

ROME, Feb. s (Associated Press).-
For the second consecutive conclave
Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop OF Bos-
ton failed in his race across the ocean
to reach Rome in time to carry out the
duties of his cardinalate in the election
of n Pope. From the moment the AS
sociated Press correspondent greeted the
American prelate in Naples bay until his
arrival at the railway station in Rome.
Cardinal O'Connell was fully convinced
that the Sacred College would not make
a choice until he came.
As he disembarked from the steamer
Presidente Wilson, shortly after o'clock
this morning. the correspondent in
formed him that the great papal ques-
ton was not yet decided and apparently
the conclave was anxious for his pres
ence.
'Well, If that is So" said the Cardinal /,
''it is a great compliment TO me and my
country and people. 1t is a great salts
faction to know that / will be in time
at last. Eight years ago, when strained
every nerve and resource to attend the
conclave which elected Benedict XIV,

II felt confident when l set sail from
New York fourteen days ago that they
would wait for me this time for it
means something to man to come
thousands of miles across the ocean in
wintry weather. l have had feeling
that my colleagues in the sacred college
would give due consideration to my dis
appointments and that of Catholic
America"
Five hours later. upon arriving in
Rome. Cardinal O'Connell was plainly
amazed when Vatican official informed
him that the conclave acted with
out him. Although the American Cardi-
nal did not utter a word, his face be-
trayed emotion.
We'll" he said, II am sorry that our
long journey has again been in vain
Whom did they elect?"
a. 'he vatican Tue taTuiiidl went Iii-
mediately to the Sistine Chapel, where
he rendered obeisance to the new Pom
tiff as. his colleagues had done two
hours before. He then conferred with a
small group of Cardinals, each of whom
was apparently anxious to explain how
the conclave had reached a choice with
out the presence of an American repre-
sentative.
