She was well known in the best

ROME, Aug 20.-Rome has
thought of little but the death of the
pope. For the time the war Is for
gotten. The general public was not
informed of the death until one-twen-
ty this morning but in clerical and
government circles 1t was known early
last evening. For no particular rea-
son but custom it has long been
usual to withhold the formal an
nouncement of a pope's death for
some time after it has occurred. 1t
was done in this case. Cardinal Mer-
ry del Val hurriedly summonIng six
ty members of the sacred college who
in conclave are to choose a success
sor, Rome is in mourning. Bells
have tolled. Buildings are draped
with crepe. The newspapers appear
ed black bordered Cardinals Maffi
and Ferrat are regarded as the like
liest candidates to succeed Plus X
Both are Italians.
There is some talk of the posi-
bility of the selection of foreigner
but the war seems certain to so Sc
riously. delay the foreign cardinals on
their way to attend the conclave that
it is deemed improbable enough OF
them will be present to prevent the
Italians from having the necessary
majority of two thirds and one in
the sacred college.
Affecting stories are told OF the
dying pOntiff's last hours. Before he
lapsed into unconscious he hade a
loving farewell to his sisters, Maria
and Anna. gently protesting to those
about him they should not weep. Be
sides his two sisters. there were at
the bedside at the end Doctors Am

and Pescini. When told his brother.

Those were his last words. He fell
into a comatose condition Immediate
ly and never regained consciousness.
That the pope died of a broken heart
dive to the European war rather than
TO physical ailments is generally
agreed about the vatican.
