POPE BENEDICTXY WASKN0WN
FR0MFlRST ASPOLlTlCAL POPE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22-tsun-
day)-(By The Associated Press)-
BENEDICT XIV from the beginning OF
his pontificate showed that he would
above all be political pope following
the policy OF his early friend and
counsellor Cardinal Rampolla. and OF
Leo S11l. Piux X died Of grief for not
having been able to prevent the world
war and Benedict XIV expended such
energy In trying to stop or mitigate
the conflict that many people, includ-
ing several American archbishops and
bishops who approached him afterward
think that the efforts made in this en-
deavor seriously affected his constitu-
ton.
Like Leo XIII he was most anxious
to establish diplomatic relations with
all countries and he succeeded in hav
Ing in Rome representatives Of the en-
tire world, except of the Scandinavian
states and the United States. While
negotiations were proceeding for the
establishment Of papal nunco at
Toxic. Benedict XIV failed to have an
internunclo appointed at Peking thru
the opposition of the French govern
ment who 1t is said feared that a
papal representative in China might
affect their right of protecting Catho-
lies in the far east. France was helped
in that occasion it is said here by the
United States which objected to the
appointment of Monsignor Peprelli as
lnternuncio in China on account of his
alleged anti-American feelings as
shown while apostolic delegate to the
Philippines.
Benedict XIV always showed a great
desire for the closest relations with
America and left nothing uninterrupted
to indicate his sympathy in anything
affecting the United States. This was
shown on the occasion OF the sinking
of the Lusitania when the pope not
withstanding his strict neutrality In
the war-(he preferred to call 1t i'm
partiality') tclegraphed to the kaiser
his adherence OF the action which had
shocked the civilized world.
The pope always regarded the United
States as country which would play
an important part in bringing about
the pacifcation OF Europe and thru
Monsignor Bonzano apostolic delegate
In Washington. he sent on several oc-
caH!ons during the war messages to
President Wilson expressing the feel
ing that America might assist in con-
cliating the belligerent countries.
His most important effort In connec-
tion with tho conclusion of peace was
the note he sent on August /. 1917, to
all the powers which was forwarded to
President Wilson thru England as
there are no diplomatic relations be-
tween tho Holy See and the United

there IL another who has a consider
able following and whose election
would be a new departure since 1or
several centuries there has not been a
foreign pope on the chair Of st. Peters,
namely Cardinal Merry Del Val who
was secretary of state 70 Piux x. Car
dinal Merry Del Walls parents we're
Spanish and his brother is Spanish am
bassador to the court of st. James but
he has resided almost his entire life
In Italy where his father was Spanish
ambassador to the Vatican. He speaks
fluently six languages and his elec'
tion as pope would not hurt the sus-
capabilities OF the Italian cardinals
who form the majority of the sacred
college.

Pisa, Cardinal Maffi. an astronomer
and most pious man Is considered
most probable should the sacred college
decide to select the new pope among
the cardinals not residing In tire eter-
nal city.
"The king is dead: Long live the
king" was the cry entered by the
French nobility at the deathbed OF
their sovereigus. With regard to the
pope the succession of the occupant OF
the chair of St. Peter does not take
place so suddenly nor so mechanically.
ceremonies must take place including a
solemn funeral in the basllica of st.
Peter where the body OF the late por-
tiff lies in state and is exposed to the
veneration of the faithful. Meanwhile
the prepara ton for the conclave IS
carried on by all the personnel of tho
apostolic palace. Apartments must be
arranged inside the vatican to receive
all the cardinals who will assemble in
Rome with their secretaries and serV-
ants. This will follow secluded precincts
in which the members of the Sacred
college will be walled in and the safety
Of their voluntary imprisonment will
be guarded by the marshal Of the con-
clave who is responsible for the free
dom and independence OF the princes
of the church.
Their seclusion will be so strict that
communication with the outside will
be possible only thru a small window
equipped with what might be de-
scribed as revolving door similar to
those used in hotels and large build
lngs in America in tho winter. Use
of this will bo restricted to the send
Ing out of laundry and the receiving
OF food and medicine.
Once the cardinals are in conclave
besides many prayers and functions
established by the constitution of the
conclave they must go thru two bal
more than two-thirds of the votes.
After each ballot when on election
takes place the bulletins are burned
and the smoke they produce is seen

from a chimney above the dome of
the Sistine Chapel. Largo crowds

States. Benedict XIV always main
tanned that his note was the first step
toward the Washington arms confer
cnce. Indeed he went much farther by
suggesting the suppression of con-
scription as the means to induce the
European countries to disarm.
notwithstanding his ardent desire
for establishing diplomatic relations
with all countries Benedict XIV never
pressed any such course with regard
to America as even the Catholic
episcopacy in the United States did not
favor such plan for fear that it might
injure the situation OF Catholicism
which it is felt has prosperity under
the complete freedom of American
rule.
When President Wilson went to
Rome in January, 1918. and decided to
visit the Pope the necessary negotia-
tons had to he carried thru the Amer
lean ecclesiastical college. there not be-
Ing any accredited representative Of
the United States to the vatican. 1t
was arrange that the American presi-
dent would go from the quirinal pal
ace where he lived as guest OF the
king to the American embassy and
from there drive to the VATICAN
Thomas Nelson Page, American am
bassador to Italy. accompanied Mr..
Wilson as far as the entrance gate to
the vatican but went no further as
he was accredited to a ruler who does
net entertain any official relation with
the Holy See.
In the speculation as to who will
be the successor OF Benedict the most
prominently mentioned is the sacre-
tary OF state Cardinal Gasparr1, whose
election would represent an indorse-
ment of the policy by him and by
Benedict in the last seven years dur
ing the grave period OF the world war.
Cardinal GaspaiTi. who has also the
position of Chamberlain Of tho church
Is entrusted with the direction of the
Holy See during the interregnum from
the death of the Pope to .the election
OF his successor.
Another member OF the sacred COL
leRe considered as a probable choice
Is Cardinal De Lai. secretary OF the
Consistorial Congregation which deals
chiefly with the selection and appoint
ment OF Archbishops and bishops ex-
cept In tho countries still under the
jurisdiction OF propaganda Eide. The
election OF Cardinal De Lai would

lege to have again as under Plus X a

not play such prominent part in

tender and really edible. Nothing
is more indigestible than under,
done veal chops or any piece of
veal. 1t should not be given to
children In any form.
Somebody once said when asked
that "pork chops is the American
national dish," and certainly they
are widely used.
The most commonly used part is
the loin, which is the row Of chops
right from the whole back of the
animal just as it is in any other.
These tenderloin chops are very
favorful either when pan fried or
when the whole piece is roasted to-
gether. Indeed, it would be much
better il those persons generally
frying pork chops would purchase
part of the loin in one piece and
roast it. The dry heat method of
oven cooking is particularly adapt
ed to pork, because this heat cooks
or melts the fat on the outside of
the piece, making it tender and
juicy and reducing the amount of
fat, which is very desirable.
Another piece not so often
known or used Is what is called a
"fresh ham," This is the un-
smoked leg corresponding exactly
to our more familiar cham" This
may be bought and roasted care
fully, and (when cold) sliced.
The same cooking principles
hold true of these meats as Of beef
if you are sure you are getting
true "tender cut" then use a hot
air, oven, roasting O" broiling
method. If, however, the cut is
full of fibre, coarse grained and
old, then never attempt frying or
roasting, but instead use the low
temperature metho for a long
period, which will thus break down
the fibres and make them soft and
more flavorful.
Know how the cut looks that
you want. Keep examining charts
of animals and the parts" into
which they are cut. These are to
be found in good cook books and
in various bulletins from the De-
partment of Agric lture.
All meats should be -emoved
from their wrapping paper as soon
as Observation-Disclosures the paper
will absorb the juices. Before
cooking any meat wipe with a
damp cloth. Never allow meat to
stand in a pan of water, as that
would take. out the juices and
make the meat flabby. Always
protect the meas from flies by COW
ering with an inverted enamel
bowl or plate. Never keep steak
or chops or other meat for broiling
or frying in the refrigerator up to
the time Of cooking; otherwise
they will be so cold that the heat
will not affect them quickly enough
and the meat will appear white
with the blood drawn out. Always
remove about two hours before
cooking, until they get room tenn
peraturc.
