POPE APPRECIATES GENEROSITY OF .5 (Continued from First Page) 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 When all those who were not to participate in the consistory had withdrawn the doors were closed and a group of Swiss guards took up their station at the entrance, The Pope rose from his throne and uttered a short prayer to the Holy Ghost for the guldance of the con- sistory. He next read his allocution, Election Takes Place. The election of the two new car- dindls 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 ) lach 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 fronl his throne the! Holy Father passed out between rows of Cardinals, who genuflected as hé| passed, and was escorted back to his apurtments by Swiss guards and niembers of the hpusehold, The Cardinals descended court of St. Damase, riages awaited and were driver to their residences, the crowd outside paying them homage as they passed through St. Peter’s square, At the same time Mgr. Gervasl, secretary to the Papal Secretary of State, departed with Papal couriers to) notify the Americans of their eleva-| tion. The new Cardinals, attended by gentlemen-in-waiting, received him/ clad in the vestments of Archbishops, and each replied to the Biglietti with @ short address of gratitude, Investments on Thursday. While becoming Cardinals from the moment of their notification, the| Amerlcan dignitaries wust wait until Thursday morning to be Invested in| the scarlet robes and hats and other| tiappings of their office. This cere- mony, which is open to the publie, is| even more colorful than today's cere- | mony, To accommodate the large numbers of Americans desiring to witness it, the ceremony will be held in the huge Basilica of St. Peter's. Honor To America ! The Pope in his allocution declared America to have attained “primacy v charity, and, that Le wished to re- member this in an unusual way. Therefore he clevated to the sacred purple two prelates whoss qualities and the importance of whose sees warranted it, “In the Immense family which God has confided to us the P'ope said, | “These are brothers more favored by | Divine Providenca who through the Tather of all come to the assistance | of their less fortunate brothers in thelr trials and disasters, “Our heart is touched and at the | rame timg sanlted toward God, think. ing of and beholding their magnifi- cont acts of fllal plety and fraternal charity, Wa find pleasure in expre; ing to them from this exalted place in this distinguished assembly a fer. vent declaration of onr gratitude, that | of a father who fecls himselt much | indebited on behalf of his suffering | children, “We ifelt, 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 Amerles took and maintaincd in this concourse of charity Respond Generously “From the moment in whieh our volee was first raised in behalf of the poor starving children of Russia, the | Fipiscopal clergy and peopla of . the | 1 nited States recponded to our appeal with & promptness and generosity which at once placed them in the first ranks in this crusade of charity, “This beneficence, shown everye where and by all, continued for a long time; we can say that It even still continues, though gradually reduced in proportion as the days advanced in which the need diminished. “Later we intimated that fresh mis eries and necessities had arisen in various parts of the world.

He held up the example of the faith- ful in France to the admiration of the Catholic world. Rfter referring with emotion to the universal celebratiton of the second anniversary of his coronation, His Holiness spoke of Archbishop Zepliak and of the numerous priests and other religious persons imprison- ed in Russia, recommending them to the piety of the faithful and the hu- manity of those upon whom their fate-depended. Improvement in Europe Regarding the European situation in general, the pope found indications of some slight improvement both in particular states and in international relations, saying this was also au- spicious for religion. He also re- ferred to the gratifying: religious de- | velopment in China, to be further | aided by the first plenary council to be held in that country. Disoussing the holy yvear and the Vatican missionary exhibition, the pontift said he had no doubt about the coming of Catholics to Rome in great numbers from all parts of the world, all united in sentiments of penance, in the desire for the fullest and in resolution for a more gener- ous profession of Christian life, He also belleved that the Pilgrims The Pontiff concluded with the fer. vent hope that the holy year would promote the mots abundant sanctifi- cation of souls and a much wider ex- at the same time bring about a more intimate and fraternal feeling among men in the effort to bring to com- pletion in fact that program which | was the aspiration and invocation of his heart, “Pax Christi in Christi.” Get Many Messages Rome, March 24-—Dawn found Archbishops, Hayes and Mundelein astir, busy With last minute prepara- tions to receive tha pontifical di- plomas announcing their elevation to the cardinalate, Both prelates spent the hour after sunrise in fervent prayer, sourcunded during this Just before the hour approached for the day's ceremonies their secre- taries opened a few envelopes of the stacks of congratulatory messages which arrived anew from their | friends last night in anticipation of tha day's event, Mundelein's Statement Archbishop Mundelein, upon re. announcing his elevation to the candinalte, sald: “Today an entire nation rejoices at the grest honors that have come to two of its sons, For in the con- sistory of this morning the Holy Vather has called the heads of the two greatest American sees to become scarlete-clad princes of the holy church and form a part of it highest senate, “No one recognizes better than 1 that It is for no personal merit of mine that this honor has come to me, great fatherly kindness of the sovereign pontiff who desires In my humble person to re. | ward his good echildren of Chicago, | and lkewisa in a particular manner to recognize the sterling Catholleity of that vast tetrilory lving west of the Allegheny mountains, i “But for that very reason this dig- nity will, with the grace of God, be Regno | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1924. an additional Incentive for me to labor more zealously for the spread of God's kingdom lin Chicago and the west, to train and equip a large body of splendid ministers of the gospel, that our priests and people may al- ways be an ornament to the church, a credit to America, and a sopyrce of strength and consolation to the Holy See. “Monsignor, 1 am grateful for the Precious message you have brought me, and | beg you to offer to the Holy Father my heartfelt thanks and assure his holiness that on Wednes- day afternoon, in response to his in- vitation, T will be present at the vatican to receive from his reverend hand the biretta of the cardinal- ship.” PENSION FOR “BILL” RICE Sergeant in Charge of Armory Grant~ ed $12 a Month—Served in Spanish- .
