POPE IN BED
AND VERY SICK
Worried over His People Being al
War In These Supposed Civil
ICED Days.

[By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
Correspondent
ROME, Aug 1s.-Pope Plus is very
i'll. He is confined to his bed with
doctors Amici and Marchiafava in
constant attendance. He Is suffering
from bronchial catarrh complicated
with equity manifestations. In addi-
ton, the news Of the war and the in
formation that millions of Catholics
are aligned on both sides of the IT,
tanic struggle, has resulted in such
extreme melancholia that his house
hold is alarmed. Today doctors gave
strict orders that under no circum-
stances is his holiness to be permit
ted to receive any news of the prog
ress Of the war. No one will be per-
mitted to mention it In his presence.
But whether this will have the effect
hoped for is uncertain, as the pontiff
has taken the outbreak of hostilities
so much to heart. His holiness re-
fused to believe that in this late day
of civilization, nations of the culture
and refinement of those now engaged,
could resort to the sword to settle
their disputes. When confirmation
reached the vatican that war had
actually begun, he was greatly trou-
bled
1T is pity" he said to his init
mates, land when l remember that
they are all my people and that now
they are fighting each other, it breaks
my heart"
So deep was his grief that those
who witnessed it we're themselves
overcome. All efforts to distract his
attention failed. Finally he became
so weak that he was forced to re-
main in bed. Today there was no i'm
provement In his condition. He had
high fever and this added to the
maladies from which he is suffering,
prevented him getting any sleep.
