MERCY FOR 25 CZARIST OFFICERS IS REFUSED Orloff and Cossacks Still Have Ap- peal From Soviet Death Sentence. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, September 19.—The su- preme court of appeals has denied the plea of 25 former officers in the czar- ist army, who were sentenced to death late last month in the criminal court of the Kuban district for counter- revolutionary activities. 1t is expected the officers, as a last resort, will lodge an appeal for ex- tenuation of sentence or pardon with the federal central executive commit- tee, the highest executive body in Russia. The group includes Col. Or- loff and a number of Cossack officers. It was charged that they returned to Russia last year from Constanti- nople and Paris on behalf of various anti-Bolshevik organizations for the purpose of organizing uprisings against the Soviet government. They blew up railway stations, robbed the population and killed ‘a number of communists, it was alleged. ——— Flyer Is Transferred. Second Lieut. Willlam L.

The cardinal again expressed his view that the welcome was doubly touching and fitting because {other { the FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1924, holic University thix morning, showing Cardinal sonnl representative of the Pope. with other high church dignitaries in procesxion preceding masx | ich wax celchrated by Archbixhop Curley. the gymnasium, at the universtly, t came from the Archbishop of Balti more here in the Capital. “This is a public pledge of our faith in sacred soil, and while we pledge our love and loyalty to Jesus Christ we ledge our unfon and loyalty also to the vicar of Christ.” The cardinal, continuing, said it was a most happy occasion, and add- ed that Father Ripple, whom he com- plimented on his work. should feel particularly pleased at the strength of the Holy Name movement and success of the congress. He gave his blessing to the work of Father Rip- ple. He said he believed the holy father would rejoice at this public expression of faith Following the addresses come and response, the reformed, augmented by 2,000 mor Holy Name members, and escorted th cardinal and archbishop, who rode to- gether, to the stadium. The police detail held back tratfic as the proces- sion crossed Michigan avenue into the university grounds The procession moved slowly and it was more than half an hour before the cardinal reached the stadium carved from a hillside, where many thousands were gathered on the seats The cardinal walked down the steps onto the field and on a strip of red arpet across the greensward to his throne, which was on a stand where a temporary altar had been erected. The Holy Name guard of honor formed in front of the altar during the pontifical mass, which was cele- brated by Archbishop Curley, with Cardinal ~O'Connell presiding. The cardinal was attended by Mgrs. Haverlin and Splaine as his deacon: of honor. Cardinal O'Connell, by virtue of his appointment as papal delegate, pre- sides at every function in connection with the convention. The action of the Pope in making the cardinal his legate is explained as not only a mark of his friendship for the cardinal and an_expression of his interest in the Holy Name movement, but as a desire to bestow the greatest favor within his power upon the American citizens in the Holy Name as evidence of his great admiration for the United States, The real significance of the ap- pointment, it is explained, is that the Pope, whom tradition keeps in the Vatican at Rome, i here in the person of his legate, paying his respects to the United States, as well as to the sons of the church of which he vicar. of wel- procession 150 Volces in Cholr. Dignitaries of the hierarchy in pur- ple, scarlet and gold; clergy in black and white, friars in white, in black and in brown to the number of more than 1,000, were grouped on either side of the altar. The Gregorian chant during the mass was sung by the uni- versity male choir of 150 voices, rep- resenting _all of the 15 religious houses and colleges aMliated with the university, under the direction of Rev. Abel Gabert. The assistant priest was Rev. F. L. Iredon; deacons of honor, Rev. E. I. Callahan and Rev. John J. Clark; deacon of the mass, Rev. L. J. Ripple, and subdeacon, Rev. M. J. Steppy of Lancaster, Pa. Tens of thousands of Holy Name visitors and Catholics from Washington parishes and near- by territory were massed on the bleachers. There will be another pontifical mass tomorrow morning, celebrated by Cardinal Dougherty of Philadel- phia, and another Sunday, celebrated by Bishop key of the Baltimore archdiocese. At the conclusion of the mass the ecclesiastical procession escorted Car- dinal O'Connell to the convention hall in the gymnasium, which was packed to capacity to hear the cardinal de- liver the Papal message and then his own address. Amid profound silence, his eminence arose and read the pontifical dispatch. Mennage From Pope. Emphasizing that no more beautiful sight exists than that of the “im- mense multitudes of consecrated manhood,” bearing public testimony of their faith, the letter said no won- der was felt at the Vatican for the “extraordinary interest in the estab- lishment of this confraternity in all dioceses of the country” on the part of all American bishops. The blessing was imparted in the letter to “all those who have given their aid to this important work of the convention” and “likewise to the whole people of America.’ The letter from Cardinal Boggiani, protector of the Holy Name societies throughout the world, then read, re- viewed with praise the activities of the confraternity. The Pope's love for America and his recognition of its contributions to the welfare of the world was em- phasized in Cardinal O'Connell's ad- dress.

Telln of Pope's Regard. In his address Cardinal O'Connell stressed the high regard in which the Pope holds America and Amerieans, pointing to the Pontiff’s order t he be represented at the convention s indicative of this feeling “As one thoroughly versed and pro- foundly learned in the story of the nations,” he said, “Pius XI has from the very first days of his pontificate realized fully the mighty influence exerted by our beloved country in all those things which concern the sta- bility of order and government. And he knows thoroughly well the fine at- titude which this Nation has alw: taken toward the equilibrium of government, without which perma- nent relations between the peoples of the earth cannot endure. “But most of all, he has again and again manifested by public utterane and action his deep appreciation of America’s magnanimity and generos- ity in itg mer and tenderness to- ward the weak and suffering of Eu- rops and of Asia ax well. And so in this latest of his gracious acts we see another obvious sign of the sovereign Pontiff’s great desire to show for all America and all Americans his par- affection.” No Secrecy Involved. Declaring that there no re; on for the assembling in Wash- ington of the thousands of Holy Name men, the cardinal explained that the primary reason is to rencw a pledge of loyalty to Jesus Christ. “And we have chosen this great Capital of our Nation,” he added, = our meeting place in order that at the very our National Government we might pledge once more and reaflirm our unshaken and unshakable allegiance and love for our beloved America and renew the spirit of fideli to her sacred institution and th mainte- nance of her law and authority “This Society of the Holy Name has for its aim and purpose that which its title obviously indi es—to honor the name of the Redeemer of the World, the Prince of Peace. v one n therefore see at a g that this devotion is as fundame as religion itself. Indeed, in its full comprehensiveness, it s religion it- self, for in its exercise we behold the supreme adoration of the eternal Godhead—the: binding in bonds of love all humanity with the Creator and Redeemer of men. “In the. sacred name of Jesus the first Apostles wrought those won- deeds which showed that the seal of God's power was upon them The dead were raised to life again the blind again received the gift of sight, the lame arose and walked— all at the invocation of that Divine Name which, uttered first in Pales- tine, within a few years resounded throughout the world. And as it was echoed from mountain peak to moun- tain peak, it sanctified the valley. and the plains. Out of savage tribe: by its power came new nations and new governments. The rough bar- barian was transformed by it into a peaceful citizen. The rude mud huts once the name of Christ had hovere in benediction over them, became noble cities and in the cgntral place of honor the noblest movements of architecture reared their glorious arches toward Heaven. Love of Christ's Name. “The veneration and love of Christ's sacred name is the iraculous power which saved rope to civilization again and again. When the utter ruin and destruction of all law and learning threatened humanity in the degeneracy and the utter downfall of Greece and Rome, when later the bar- baric tribes from the North and East threatened to overwhelm all culture and all learning and all civil order, it was the power and love of the Holy Name, held fast in the hearts of Christian men. that stemmed the tide of utter desolation d complete destruction. and patiently and labor- lously sustained the very foundations of human culture and morality. And when, cénturies after, the division of Christendom, hitherto one and united, hurled all Europe into a conflict so enormous and so fratricidal that the fundamental principles of Christian- ity itself seemed on the verge of decay and death, again it was the men of the Holy Name, who, when the din of battle had passed and the clouds of confusion had rolled away. came out of the conflict unwounded and unharmed—nay, strengthened by the conflict for greater endurance and nobler triumphs. Exerts Sublime Influence Today. “The power of the Holy Name has not diminished in the passage of the centuries—nay, each new generation of Christian men. loyal to the sacred tradition of their fathers, manifest their love and their fidelity to Christ’s Holy Name and to the Church, founded and conserved by its divine power. Indeed, within the last few short decades this holy confrater- nity, in this country especially, has grown by leaps &nd bounds until there is scarcely a city or a town in all America where its fame and its influence have not penetrated. “Leaders of Communities. “Such men in private life are the edification of their entire community— good husbands, good fathers, good citizens—and because they know by their daily experience in the very midst of temptation, the dust and the turmoil of human life, the supreme value of the knowledge and practice of Christian Catholic principles, they stand as they must ever stand. for the freedom of the faith of Christ and the complete liberty of a Christian education for their children. “Humbly before God and the world they walk their simple way, but with the unconquerable strength of de- fenders of the Holy Name, they stand an@ will ever stand unawed and un- afrald of the forces and the influences, whensoever they come, which may menace them in their rights, human and divine. These they are ever ready to defend because they well know that bound up with the very funda- mentals of religion are the rights fundamental to humanity—the sacred rights of the individual and the family. ‘Now since upon these same rights and duties the permanent welfare of the nation depends, it is clear that the men who are faithful to the Holy (Continued on Third Page.) & N secret | | | them En Route 16 Years, Post Card Arrives 8 Years Too Late! 5y e Axsociated Press.
