From an early age Giuseppe, bred

that he might recover. But his
strength was gone. he soon relapsed
into coma and gradually grew weaker
until the end. He died while sleeping
peacefully.
Death Followed Relapse.
In the afternoon he suffered a re-
lapse, and he received the last sacra-
ment. His sisters lighted the candles
before the miraculous images of St.
Joseph and remained PROSTATE, pray

The ringing of the church bells noti-

Before the fatal turn for the worse
the pope addressed the whole world
on the subject of the war. When he
was told that the roar of cannon in
the Adriatic could be heard in Venice
he exclaimed:
The bones of the doges must thrill
in their sepulchers at the familiar
sound Of battle, recalling the heroic

pail of grief that hangs over the eter-

Allies Watch Flank Moves.
The allies are especially vigilant in
watching for these outflanklng or en-.
veloping movements. They have every
confidence that their center of defense
is proof against any assault however
formidable. The allies expect to stand
firm against the invaders, permitting
them to break wave on wave against
the line of forts, guns, rifles and noun

and wasted and until the Russians de-

Then the defensive armies expect to

will be to seize sufficient territory to

Before Pope Plus had been on the
throne three years he evidenced that
young men who dreamed of the career
Of courtier in Rome were going to
be disappointed. The pope wanted
bishops for the different sees, and the
way for young diplomats to promotion,
it was soon apparent, was through the
tiresome but wholesome Office of gov

membered in history. He proved that
diplomacy in church matters is a
thing OF little Importance compared
with the direct teaching and preach,
ing of the gospel to the poor.
Opposed to Woman's Suffrage.
An instance of his well-known un.
compromising attitude against ad.
vanced tendencies was afforded In his
opposition to woman suffrage as voiced
by the pope upon the occasion of his
reception of a delegation of Italian
Catholic ladies'.
Woman can never be mans equal"
he told his fair visitors, "and cannot,
therefore, enjoy equal rights. Few
women would ever desire to Iegtslate,
and those who did would be classed
as eccentrics Scripture, and espe-
cially the three Epistles Of st. raul,
emphasize woman's dependence on
man."
By virtue OF one of his documents,
known as the "Sapienti Consillio," the
congregations composing the Roman
