 and members of the sacred college began to retire from the hall. When all those who were not to participate In the consistory had withdrawn the doors were closed and group of Swiss guards took up their station at the entrance.
 The Pope rose from his throne and uttered short prayer to the Holy Ghost for the guidance of the con- sistory. He next read his ailocution.
 Election Takes Place.
 The election of the two new car dinals then took place. and occupied but a brief time. The pontiff an- nounced their names and then asked the required question:: "Quid quis vi- deteur?" ('has anyone aught to say?"D 1
 Each cardinal, beginning with the dean. rose in turn, bowed to the Pope and removed his skull cap as a sign of assent. The pontiff then announced a list of bishops and other nomina- tions and the consistory was over.
 Descending from his throne the Holy Father passed out between rows of Cardinals, who genuflected as he passed, and was escorted back to his apartments by Swiss guards and members of the household.
 The Cardinals descended to the court of St. Damasc, where their car riages awaited and were driven to their residences, the crowd outside paying them homage as they passed through St Peter's square.

 Our heart Is touched and al the same time emitted toward God, think ing of and heholding their magnifi. cent acts of filial piety and fraternal charity. We find pleasure in express ing to them from this exalted place in this distinguished assembly a fer vent declaration Of our gratitude. that of a father who feels himself much indebted on behalf of his suffering children.
 We sfelt, however, that something would be wanting in this expression Of gratitude if special mention were rot made of the position and part which the United States of America took and maintained in this ccncourse Of charity.
 Respond Generously
 From the moment in which our voice was first raised in behalf of the poor starving children of Russia, the Episcopal clergy and people of the United states responded 10 our appeal with promptness and generosity which at once placed them in the first ranks In this crusade of charity.
 This benehcence, shown every. where and by all, continued for a long time: we can say that it even still continues. though gradually reduced in proportion ss the days advanced in which the need diminished.
