POPE'S BODY
 LIES IN STATE
(Continued From Page 1.)

Pope Benedict XV., the 259th sue cessor of St. Peter as supreme head of the Roman Catholic church, began his pontificate on September $. 1914, soon after Europe entered upon its four years of war. Upon many occa- sions during the war he endeavored to bring the belllgerent nations to a peace agreement and thus to main . tain the tiuHe which had been affec- 1ionately bestowed upon him by a high dignitary of his communion as peace"
 The war between Italy and Aus tria, in both of which peoples of the Catholic religion predominate. was particularly a great sorrow to the Pope. Those near to him said he dep recated the German violations of Bel gium. When the Lusitania was sunk he telegraphed to the then Emperor William his ahhorrence of a deed which had shocked the world.
 The successor of Plus X. was said to have combined the statesmanship of Pope Leo XIII. with the grace of his immediate predecessor. He en- deavored. it is said. to carry out the ideals and policies of those two great which broke the heart of Piux K, saddened the first four years of his pontificate and prevented the fulfill ment of some or his aspirations.
 one of the incidents of his pontificaI career was the visit which President Wilson paid to him on January i. 1919, when the President went to Rome prior to the opening of the Peace Conference at Paris. Social and treaty questions were discussed. it is said, during the private audience at the conclusion of which Pope Ben- edict presented to his guest a hand some mosaic reproducing Guido Renis $ famous picture of Saint Peter, valued at $40,000.
 One of the smallest men physically ever elected to the chair of St. Peter the former Cardinal della Chiesa- never expected to be thus honOred by the Sacred College and is said to have wept when apprised of his election. He would haey preferred. he said, to remain a simple priest or, at most. Cardinal and Archbishop of Bologna.
 On the day of his election he spoke of the :burden of responsibility thrust upon @'one frail brain and expressed his horror of the world conflict then being waged and his hope that it would quickly end. One week after his coronation, when the Fishermans $ Ring was placed upon his finger. he fss,,ed an Eincyc1ical to the episcopacy of the world in which rulers were ex-

 Pained by the smelling of Paris by
 the German long range guns in the 1 Spring of 1918. Pope Benedict sent a protest to Emperor Charles of Austria
 and to the Berlin government against what he characterized as "a wanton ma ssacre.''
 The Pope's qualification over the capture of Jerusalem by the Allies
 under the British General Allenby caused bitter comment in the German press. According to the Rome Mes sagero on December IS, 1917, a few days after the fall of the Holy City,
 he warned Christian states against aiding the Turks in recapturing it. Pope Benedict's attitude toward the Peace Conference of 1919 was said to have been one of fatherly soici- tude- Early the previous December. in a letter to President Wilson, he pleaded for aid on behalf of op- pressed nationalities and later com mitted the Church of which he was the head to do all in it's power to support the decisions of the delegates at Versailles In all of his mess ages and addresses he expressed the hope that peace would be based upon Christian principles.

The healing of the breach be- tween the Vatican and France which resulted from the separation of the church aand state in that country was crowned by the cannonization of Joan of Arc as a saint of the church.
 In commenting on these new reia- tions. it was pointed out in many quarters that during the years when Benedict NV. had directed the policy of the Church there had been an in creasing influence by the Vatican on the public opinion of the world.
 His voice was raised in approval of the aims of the Washington con- ference on the limitation of arma- ment and in a letter to President Harding. the Pope commended his in- ftiative in calling it. His efforts on behalf of war prisoners were unre- n1itting and he personally appealed to the prelates of the Church to pro mote anity among the nations and deplored the unrest in Europe which had followed the war He issued numerous appeals for the poor chil- dren of central Europe and for the famine sufferers of Russia and through his efforts huge fund was collected and distributed to the chill dren of Germany, Austria, Poland.
