THOUSANDS OF
PILGRIMS MASS
FOB CONGRESS
Eucharistic Session Opened
Formally as Papal
Bull Is Read.
BY STEWART BROWN
I'niM Preji Staff CarmpoadHit
CARTHAGE. Tunisia. May 7.
The thirtieth international eucha
ristic eon ere - .s was opened formally
today in the presence of more than
twenty thousand pilgrims who sat
on a sunny hillside amid the crum
bled walls of Carthage and heard
a papal bull read into a radio trans
mitter.
Men of every country and almost
every faith thronged the white
washed ruins of this city, whose
centuries of civilization are red
marked with the blood of Christian
martyrs.
They listened as pilgrims or as
curious spectators to the reading in
French and latin of the papal bull
naming Cardinal Lepicier as legate
of the Vatican—the formal opening
of sessions which will continue
through Sunday.
Tunis Cathedral Is Background
The Tunis cathedral, white and
glistening under the warm sun. was
the background for the brilliant
robes of the legates of Rome, who j
participated in the opening pro- j
cesssion over soil once scarred by J
embattled soldiers of Carthage and
Rome.
On the sacred hilllside the robes
of native Africans, many of them
Moslems and Arabs, mingled with
the varied costumes of the pilgrims
who had gathered to pay honor to
Christian martyrs.
The procession, which opened the
congress, marched from the harbor
;o the cathedral, which was reached
at 4:30 p. m. The papal bull, stress
ing the ceremonial character of the
assembly, was read to the pilgrims
Group of Children Sing
Then a group of 4,000 children
many of whom were Arabs con
certed to Christianity, sang.
The African primate, Monsignor
Alexis Le Maitre, the Bishop of
Carthage and Governor-General
Francois Manceron extended the
welcome of the African church and
government to the pilgrims after
he opening ceremonies.
The American pilgrims found
•hemselves without any idea cf the
.ole they arc expected to play at the
congress. They took the attitude j
hat they were merely observers and
probably will not participate in tir !
name of the Catholics of the United ,
States in any of the five days of |
ceremony.
Americans Are Isolated
The isolation of the Americans
was indicated by the fact that
cores of them did not listen to
reading of the papal bull, but spent
the day sight-seeing in the Moslem
holy city cf Kairouan, which ranks
second only to Mecca.
The Boston pilgrims under
Monsignor F. A. Burke and Mcnstg
nor J. K. McGlinghey; the Chicago
end Milwaukee groups under Father
John W. Bott: the Newark group
under Monsignor Thomas Mc-
Laughlin; the Trenton pilgrims
under Father C. H. Crook and
ethers spent the way at Kairouan,
which has been a Moslem pilgrim
age point since the French occupa
tion.
It cow Is a town of 20.000 with l n o
slender minarets rising above its
white walls and roofs.

depth of ten feet.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.. May 7.
Shed a tear for Professer
Jacinto Marcosano, music master,
who got it in the neck from none
other than Mrs. Jacinto Marco
sano.
The professor likes his cigar
now and then, but Mrs. Marco
sano will have none of it, especial
ly around the house. In fact, she
expressly forbade his induging on
the premises.
Professor Marcosano sneaked
off to the roof of the house, had
himself a few delightful whiffs,
cast away the butt and came
downstairs in hign spirits. He was
reading a book when three fire
wagons arrived to extinguish the
roof fire.
The nrofessor got a bad break,
for the firemen found the cigar
butt.
“I told you so!" began Mrs.
Marcosano as she closed the door,
and firemen heard no more of the
conversation.

poorest king. He also maintains
