He rallied from this sinking spell, nevertheless and during Saturday forenoon fell into a sleep which lasted neariy an hour and also took some ourishment. Little, !f any, encouragement how- ever, was dorived from this apparent improvement in the pontiff's condi- tion, and he shortly became worse again, although still fighting off the end with what the physicians describ- ed as his wondert;l powers of resist- ance. PONTIFF TRIED TO ARISE IN DELIRIUM. ROME, Jan. 21.—(By The Associate’ Press).—Dr. Battistint, one of the Pope's physicians, said at, 1 o'clock that the end was onpzoaching for Pope Benedict, being a question ef hours. In his slight delirium during. th> noon hour the pontiff resisted the ef- forts of the physicians to listen to his heart action and expressed a desire to rise and perform his usual duties. Belief that the pontiff's) life mig: be prolonged until the late afternoo. had a quiet spell. His respiration was less irregular, and after he had ex pressed a desire to rest, he turned ot. his side and fell asleep immediately The physicians were surprised at thir turn in the case and thought there ‘might be some hope for his holiness if he were able to sleep three or four phours, The pope dozed from 8 until 9 o'clock when a cordial was administer ed to him. Today being the fete day of St. Agnes, patron of Capranica col- lego in which he was a youthful stu- dent, the pope asked to be shown a small statue of the saint with which the students of the college had pre- sented him. The statue was placed on the altar of the chapel, where a num- ber of masses were said. The worst period for the pope during the night occurred just before day break.

The only sounds heard were the sobs of the pope's personal attendants the low chanting of the penitential psalms, or an occasional word in de- lirtum from the pontiff as his malady slowiy undermined the wonderful store of nervous energy which was still resisting its progress.

Then as daylight ‘bro%se, the forms of the cardinals could be seen passing from the adjoining rooms. Pope Benedict XV. the 259th muc- cessor of St. Peter as supreme head of the Roman Catholic church, began his pontificate on September 6, 1914, soon after, Hurope entered upon its four years of war. Upon many occasions during the war he endeavored to bring the belligerent nations to a peace agreement and thus to maintain the title which had heen affectionetely be- stowed upon him by a high dignitary of his communion as “a messenger God sent to. bring peace.” Tho war between Italy and Avstria, in both of which peoples of the Catho- Ne religion predominate, was particu- larly a great’ sorrow to the pope. Those near to him said he deprecated the German violation of Belgium. When the Lusttanta was sunk he tele graphed to the then Emperor Wil- Mam his abhorrence of a deed which had shocked the world. Tho successor of Pius X was said to have combined the statesmanship of Pope Leo XIII. with the grace of his immediate predecessor, He en- deavorea, it is said, to carry out the ideals und policies of those two great churchmen. But the worid war, which broke the heart of Pius X, saddened the first four years o7 his pontificate and prevented the fulfiliment of some of his aspirations, One of the incidents of his pontificat career was tho visit which President Wilson paid to him on January 4, 1919, when tho president) went to Rome prior to the peace conference at Paris. So-~ cial and treaty questions were dis- cussed, it {s said, during the private audience at the conclusion of which Pope Benedict presented to his guest a handsome mosaic reproducing Guido Ren!’s famous picture of Saint Peter, valued at $40,000. One of the smallest men physically ever elected to the chair of St. Peter, the former Cardinal della Chiesa never expected to be thus honored by the sacred college and is sald to have wept when apprised of his election. He would have preferred, he safd, to re- main a simple priest or, at most, Car- dizal and Archbishop of Bologna. On the day of his election he spoke of the burden of responsibility thrust upon “one’ frail brain” and expressed his horror of the world conflict then being waged and his hope that it would quickly end. Ono week after his coronatien, when the fisherman's ring was pliced upon his finger, he 1s- sued an encyclical to the episcopacy of ths world in which rulers were ex- horted to put aside dissensions and to “enter into a council of peace with all speed.” The appeal fell on stony ground, however,, and later, on De- cember 12, 1914, the vatican authori- ties announced the pope's plan for a Christmas truce was failing “because of the opposition of a certain power.”* The scenes at the vatican, as mo- ment by moment the sands of life of Reports were that Russia and Turkey (Continued on Page Two.) 10 PER CENT REDUCTION IN CEMENT IS DEMANDED CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Executive officers of the highway depart- ments of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota and Wisconsin today at.the opening session of the Mis- sissipp! valley conference of state highway departraonts declared a buyer's strike against the cement manufacturers of the country.
