WAR SUMMARY. Grand Duke Nicholas, the Rus sian commander-in-chief, has ordered the territory captured in Austria-Hungary administer ed by the Russian general In command in that country. The Bulgarian minister to Greece declares that Bulgaria has decided to maintain its n eu- ar.

Be sides thousands of men kilted wounded or made prisoners, the Russians report that they took 00 guns from the Austrlans. Another list of British casual ties officially reported at London numbers 5,223, of whom 470 are killed and wounded and 4,758 are missing. The list shows a large percentage of officers. As the lines around Paris tighten and the German forces draw closer to the French capi tal, the official statements re garding progress of the war grow briefer and are more and more tacking in details.

CHOSEN ON NINTH BALLOT Cardinal Giacomo Delta Chlesa, Only Recently Given Red Hat, Is Chosen Supreme Head of Roman Church. Rome, Italy. Cardinal Giacomo Delia Chlesa, archbishop of Bologna, Italy, on Thursday was elected su preme pontiff of the Catholic holr-1 archy In succession to Pope Pius X, who died August 20. He will reign under the name of Benedict XV. The conclave of the sacred college, whoso duty it Is to elect the pope, went into session the evening of Mon day, August 31. Tho announcement of tho outcomo of its deliberations was made Thursday morning shortly after eleven o'clock. Nine ballots were taken. The pontiff pronounced the apostollo benediction to the kneeling crowd. Prelates Who Name the Pope. Tho full membership of the sacred college of cardinals, which elected tho pope, was moro International in its representation than at any time In the history of the church. With the creation of thirteen new cardinals in May, Pope Pius X brought the college up to C6, only four fower than the maximum number allowed under the laws of the church and three more than participated In his own election in 1903, when there was a record attendance of 63 cardinals. Nearly All Nations Represented. While tho aacred college Is not a "tentative body in a strict senso word, this year nearly all tne countries wore represented. South America, tho United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, Austria Hungary, Italy, Franco and Spain 14 nations in all. Tho Orient has no cardinal, neither has Russia, Africa, Australasia or Switzerland. Twenty of the present cardinals aro from five of the warring nations of Europe: Austria-Hungary having 'six nnd Germany two, as against n total of twelve, which might bo said to rep resent the "allies" in ths European war. Facts About the New Pope. Cardinal Giacomo Delia Chlosa, who succeeds Pope Plus X, who dlod Au gust 20, was created a cardinal May 25, 1914. He Is the archbishop of Bologna, Italy. Cardinal Chlesa was born In Pcglt, In tho dloceso of Genes, November 21, 1854, and was ordained a priest De cember 21, 1878. He served as secre tary of tho nunciature In Spain from 1S83 to 1887, In which year ho waB appointed secretary to tho lato Car dinal Rampolla. Ho was nppolnteed substitute secretary of stato In 1901 and In 1907 he was elected to the poBt of adviser to tho holy office. Officially Condemns Tango. In" 1907 ho was appointed papal nuncio of Madrid, succeeding Mgr, Rlanaldlnl, but this appointment waa canceled three days later. This Inci dent had occurred Just before he waB made archbishop of Bologna. When Mgr. Delia ChleBa was given this post It was declared in Romo that It was, mainly with the object of combating modern religious Ideas, Bologna being; the headquarters of tho National Dem-J ocratic league, whose members advo cated what is known as "modernism"! in religion. In January, 1914, hlle still ati Bologna, the present pope issued at pastoral letter strongly condemning tho tango. Takes Title of Benedict. It has been 174 years since the tlmoj of the last Pope Benedict. On his elec-j Hon to tho papacy in 1740 Cardinal Prospero Lambertinl assumed that) title. It is an interesting fact that the new pope was archbishop of Bologna,, while Pope Benedict XIV was born In Bologna. It was at the age of twenty-four that the new popo was ordained in the prleshood. He soon attracted the atJ tcntlon of Cardinal Rampolla, later, secretary of state for Pope Leo XIII., When Cardinal Rampolla waB mado, nuncio to Madrid he took Mgr. Delia Chlesa with him as secrtary of nuncia ture. On Cardinal Rampolla's return to Romo to become secretary of state for the Vatican, Mgr. Delia Chlesa entered the secretariat of state as one of th& "mlnutamtl" or minor officials, until 1901, when he was appointed substi tute of the secretariat and also secre tary of tho cypher. Made Bologna Archbishop. As secretary to the secretary of state, Cardinal Delia Chlesa was brought into notable prominence throughout tho Catholic hierarchy, but his position wae not at that time of cardlnalls rank. On the accession of Pope Pius X, Mgr. Delia Chlesa con-, tinued In tho secretariat until Decem ber IC, 1907, when Plus X gave him a. noted promotion to the position of archbishop of tho important see or Bologna. For soven years lie administered th& see of .Bologna with notable success, until on laat May Popo Plus X named hlrii as one of the 13 membera of the: hierarchy to receive tho red hat. Arch bishop Begin of Quoboc wa3 among the other cardinals named at that time, tho others being prelates of Spain,. France, Austria, Germany and Italy. The full title of tho now pope, In addition to Benedict XV, will be Popo Bishop of Romo and Successor of St. Peter, Supremo Pontiff of tho Univer sal Church, Patriarch of tho West, Pri mate of Italy, Archbishop and Metro politan of tho Roman Provlnco, Sov ereign of tho Temporal Dominion or tho Holy Roman Church. The pope held his first consistory on Tuesday, when ho conferred the red' hat on Cardinal Anthony Mondes Bello, patriarch of Lisbon, and Cardi nal Gulsasolay Monendoz, nrchbisliopv of Toledo, Spain.
