CARDINAL DEL VAL
SOON TO
RETIRE
Rome, Oct. 9. The probable re
tirement of Cardinal Merry de Val
from me all-Iniiortant uost or papal
necretury of state, which Ib said to
have been brouuht about by reuresen
tatlons made to the Vatican by Amer
ican and KiikIIkIi prelates, adds an
other argument to the contention
that the genius of diplomacy, like
that of iwotry, la heaven born, some
thing which careful nursing In the
most favorable atmospheres cannot
produce.
when they learned the past week that
the retirement of Merry del Val was
Imminent and that he would probably
be succeeded by Cardinal Kampolla.
who formerly held the office of papal
secretary of state.
Much regret Is expressed here over
the apparent failure of Merry del Val I
to win his spurs In the higher diplo
macy. Jf he is not itossessed of the
divinely given diplomatic geulus, as
events seem to prove, he Is as high a
type of his class as the world unas-

out the religious creaHes made in
Canada's polities by the Manitoba
school dispute, his first Important
mission, a distinguished American
lawyer, who met the papal ablegate
twice, said of him:
"Mgr. Merry do Val Is diplomacy
personified and Idealized."
Other persons well qualified to
judge expressed the same opinion of
the diplomatic abilities of the young
papal nuncio. Then It was announced
In 1903 that the new pope, I'lus X,
liad selected as a now secretary of
Klate this same Merry de Val, and
those acquainted with his qualifica

tlon, education, and training. Ills
father was the Spanish ambassador
In London when Merry del Val wan
born. Ills father, Alfonso, is In the
Spanish diplomatic service, and his
father's fathers were statesmen for
generations before htm.
Fitted by the traditions of his race,
by his mental abilities, by his social
tact, his personal charm and consti
tutional preferences, for diplomatic
eminence. It Is difficult to explain
Merry del Val's apparent failure as
a papal secretary. Ills lack of suc
cess might be attributed, Indeed, to
his youth and Inexperience, for the
cardinal Is not 4 5. Most of his fel

assumed the office. His experience
was not greater than Merry rtel Vara,
when his incidental diplomatic
complfshments were considered infe
rlor.
The responsibilities and difficul
ties of Merry del Val's office, par
ticularly since the rupture with
France, may be urged as an explana
tion or hlB short-comings. Of all the
diplomatic posts in the world, that

we must go to press not later
than 4 o'colrk, in order to be

new home in the theatre

some kind of a paper Monday

not be the complete size. By
Tuesday we will be in run

to be working under disad

After that The Guard will be
printed earlier in the after
noon and be a better paper
In all respects than it has
ever been before, as we will
have a plant double its pres

We do not expect our job

charge Its functions. Other secreta
ries of state have sold ers and battle
ships to give weight to their demands
and they can negotiate with the prac
tical international currency of mili
tary or commercial favors and con
cessions.
The papal secretary of state, how
ever, Is the pope's army and navy and
treasury. What he wants he must
obtain by a skillful show of right,
and for diplomatic concessions he
must offer mutual advantages, some
times moral, sometimes spiritual,
sometimes sentimental, but always
Intangible. The church having spir
itual subjects all over the world, and
comprising two-fifths of Christen
dom, the secretary must preserve, if
posible, friendly relations with all na
tions, although the nations them
selves are in constant discord. To
maintain his equilibrium upon this
whirling diplomatic ball. Merry del
Val has high qualifications in that
sort of acrobatics, but he has also his
vulnerable points, and recent circum
stances and events have been pre
cisely those best calculated to bring
out his diplomatic shortcomings.
