ROME March al a. m.-Thc latest
news from the vatican is that the pope's
temperature at midnight had fallen sev-
eral points. 1t appears that his dlsln-
clinatlon to observe the recommended
tions Of his physicians forms an obs,a-
Gle in the way Of prompt recovery. He
has full confidence In his own strength.
and does not readily acquiesce in their
advice not to move. During the after
noon he insisted upon leaving his bed
without assistance and also read sew
eral kilograms. The rise In his temper
ature, which had given some anxiety,
was probably caused in part in this
way. III
The doctors exclude everybody from
his apartments except his personal at
tendants. Prof. Mazzonl remained In
readiness during the evening to proceed
to the vatican II needed, but up to II
o'clock he had not been called. and at
that hour he did not expect to go until
daybreak.

a miracle of God that nm still alive;
for He wishes to spare His church u ter
