Also in the papal section of the
procession were the officers of the
various pontif1cial armed corps and
the pontifcial musical choir.
Near its end, the procession began
to reach its climax with the appear
ance of the college of cardinals.
They issued from the atrium of st.
Peters according to their seniority
and rank-first the cardinal bishops,
cardinal priests and cardinal dea-
cons, a long line of purple-clad
princes of the church.
They were escorted by q platoon
of Swiss guards, in full dress of
yellow, blue ano purple, carrying
medieval pixies and halberds.
Pope's Guards in Scarlet

During the procession great
swelling chorus came up from the
marchers and the accompanying
choirs, which included ten from the
baSilicas of Rome, besides the choir
OF the papal chapel.
The enormous crowd in the square
watched in reverence a spectacle

Palatine guards in green and red
uniforms formed a. guard of honor,

When the procession retraced its

WASHINGTON. July 25.-Anglo-
American naval parity. agreed upon
IN 1921 as far as battleships are con-
Cerned. now has been extended TO
all categories of fighting ships,
Henry L. Stinson, secretary of state,
said today.
His statement VaS an interpreta-
ton Of the announcements of
parity agreement made Wednesday
bv Premier Ramsay Macdonald in
London. and President Herbert
Hoover here.
This is an immense and
tremendous step forward" Stimson
said.
The next step is to adopt
method of applying the principle-to
evolve and apply the Hoover yard
stick" officials said. President
Hoover conferred with Secretary of
Navy Charles Adams regarding the
naval situation.
Hoover's Action Challenged
Criticisms challenging President
Hoover's power to suspend build
ing Of three cruisers, the keels of
which we're to be laid in navy yard
this fall, were met by officials. who
explained the ships we're now in a
blueprint stage, the keels not hay
ing been laid.
The President has control Of the
navy yards, it was explained.
Stimson announced other naval
powers have been kept informed Of
the progress of the Anglo American
discussions which have been carried
on largely by Premier Macdonald
and Ambassador Dawes in London.
Macdonald and President Hoover
plan to continue their discussions
during the British premier's visit to
Washington in October.
Eliminates Naval Race"
Discussing the parity agreement
which is held here to be much more
important than the Temporary sus-
pensions, Stimson said the purpose
of parity is to prevent the two
naVleS from building against each
other and to accomplish. instead. a
reduction of their respective naval
power.
He said the action represents an
agreement that Great Britain and
the United States should not regard
each other as possible enemies in
that they agree not to move as
potential enemies by trying to build
larger fleets
The doctrine of parity thus used
Is the only doctrine by which two
proud and independent nations in
the positions occupied by Great
Britain and America could agree to
BE- friends and to eliminate the
thought of war between them, in
StimSon'S opinion.
He suggested it might be futile
from a military sense to try TO make
two fleets equal. but he pointed out
the doctrine as used is not military,
but doctrine of craftsmanship.
Stimson announced he would is
sue a formal statement on the
parity question later today.

The sun was setting behind
st. Peter S, gliding the tops of
buildings and casting mellow
glow over the spectacle in the
great square, filled with more
than 100000 persons come to
witness the event when the pro-
cession began.
Pope in White Surplice
The pope descended from his pri-
vate apartments into st. Peters
where the cardinals, assembled in
Sistine chapel, paid him homage.
In the chapel, the pope put on q
white surplice, above which was
placed a large white mantle en-
broidered with ornaments OF solid
gold.
The pontiff then mounted on the
dais, the bearers Of which began
moving slowly through the great
building toward the loggiaa and the
main door of the baSilica
The poles of the canopy above the
pope's head we're carried alternately
by prelates of the segnatura tri-
bunal and theological students from
the North American, Irish, German,
English and Hungarian colleges, III
accordance with a custom prevailing
before 1870. -'4----...-----
During the procession, two i'm
maculately white f1abellaae, or large
feather fans, were carried at the
sides of. the papal dais, denoting
that the pope's participation was
with "pompa magma or full pomp.
Marquis Naro Patrici-Montoro,
lieutenant Of the noble guard, had
asked the pontiff for permission to
follow the papal dais in the square
aStride a white horse and bearing
the flag of the church, in accord
ance with an ancient privilege
granted to his family. The pope,
refused however, fearing the horse
might stampede because of its un-
familiarity with such functions.
When the procession issued from
st. Peters, the appearance of a
platoon of pontiflcal gendarmes in
their black BUSHES informed the
crowd that the days great event
had begun.
The gendarmes were followed by
the Vatican procuratorS, who have
legal functions in the papal state.
Next came the apostolic preacher,
accompanied by group of private
chamberlains wearing Elizabethan
ruffs and black silk knee -breecheS.
A group of black, white and grey
cowled monks followed, represent
ing the worldwide orders of the
Benedictines. Franciscans, Domini-
cans and many others.
Impressive Tbrong of Bishops
Behind the monks and friars came
the delegation representing the
thousands of Seminarists gathered in
Rome. The young candidates for
the priesthood we're dressed in

their shoulders, and carrying candles
in their hands.
Then came the private chaplains,

court and the Vatican lawyers at
tached to the various ecclesiastical
tribunals.
An outstanding figure was Prince
RuSpoli, master of the Sacre Os-
piZio.
Next came the special confessors
of the Vatican court, who hear the
confessions of the highest Vatican
authorities.
An impressive throng OF archbish-
ops and bishops followed, wearing
their miters, while their croziers
were carried by attendants. Abbots
and priors of abbeys and monas-
teries slowly issued in their turn
from the portals in the lengthy pro-
ceSSion.
