Apostolic Delegate Martinelli, who is in
constant receipt of news from private
sources in Rome concerning the Pope's
condition, believes that the pontiff's ex-

give much trouble TO doctors, nurses or
servants. 1 am only skin and bone. and
my life will go out like lamp which has
no oil to feed it,"

the way the pontiff will go 20 his rest
