tlon-Was 60 Years Old.

Rome-The death of Pope Benedict
XIV is announced. The end came with
appalling suddenness, since his holt
ness was believed to be suffering
merely from a severe cold which was
expected to yield to treatment.
Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary
Of state, made public the fact of the
death Of the pope.
His holiness had been suffering for
some days, having contracted double
pneumonia, and treatment began too
late.
During the early hours of the morn
ing, toward O'clock, there was a sud
den change for the worse and the
bronchial affection from which his holt
ness had been suffering for several
days, spread to his lungs.
The pontiff asked for and received
the last sacrament, insisting upon this,
IF only to give a good example" he
said, despite attempts by his attend
ants to dissuade him.
The pope's ply sicians were in con-
sultation at the Vatican at an early
hour, and the morning bulletin issued
afterward indicated an extremely seri-
Gus condition. Or. Battistini, however,
stated then that while the condition
of his holiness was grave, it was not
hopeless

Saddened BY Horrors of War.
Pope Benedict was much affected by
the horrors and sorrow of the World
war and many times tried to bring
about peace negotiations. Germauy's
violation of Belglum's neutrality filled
him with great sorrow and after the
sinking Of the Lusitanla, he telegraph
ed the German emperor telling his
adherence Of the deed
Pope Benedict's first appeal for
peace was issued one week after his
coronation. The appeal failed to bring
results. as did also his later plan for
a Christmas truce In January and in
July, 1915, he again tried to bring
about peace negotiations. In March,
1916, he repeated his attempts and in

America should act as conciliator be-

Cardinals Wait Word.
Mgr Zampini, sacristan of the apos-

Mgr Migone. the private chamberlain,
were at the pope's bedside
There was an air of deep anxiety
and apprehension about the Vatican,
where many Of the cardinals were
waiting in an antechamber, all the
cardinals in Italy having assembled in
Rome upon receiving word of the
pope's serious illness. The doctors.
after consultation, did not conceal
the gravity of the pontiffs condition,
although Professor Marchiafara took
more hopeful view than his col
leagues.
Pope Hears Mass Celebrated.
Mgr Migone celebrated mass in an
apartment adjoining the pope's bed
room. The door to the slck-room re-
manned open so that the pontif might
hear.
Many diplomats visited the Vatican
seeking news; all Of them we're re
ceived in the antechamber, none be-
ing permitted to disturb the patient.
1t is said that the pope contracted
his present Illness three days before
his death, after he had celebrated mass
in Matilde chapel. He received visl-
tors and attended TO his usual pontifi-
cal duties until a comparatively few
hours before he passed away.
