HAD FILLED HIGH POSITIONS
Pope Benedict Prominent in Church
CounseIs Before His Elevation
to the Papal Throne.

Pope Benedict XIV rose to the SUI
preme head of the Catholic church
Sept. 6, 1914, less than six months
after he was elevated to the cardinal
ship. He was born of noble parents
at Pogli. near Genoa, Italy, Nov. q,
1854. His father was Marquis Della
Chiesa.
Educated at Capronican college and
the Academy of Ecclesiastics, he was
ordained to the priesthood in 1878.
He was taken to Madrid, Spain, by
Cardinal Rampolla, and for four years
was secretary of the nunciature in
Spain. In 1901 he was appointed con-
sultor of the holy office, and in 1907
Pope Plus gave him the appointment
of archbishop of the see of Bologna.
He was made cardinal in May, 1914.
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. Germany's
violation of Belgium's neutrality filed
him with great sorrow and after the
sinking of the Lusitania, 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
May of the same year suggested that
America should act as conciliator be-
tween the warning nations. His note
to President Wilson to this effect
reached Washington when Germany
and the United States were involved
in a diplomatic crisis. The Vatican ap-
proved of President Wilson's peace
note in 1917, but three months later
the United States entered the war.
Made Appeal for Peace.
The Pope's most memorable appeal
for peace was issued in his own hand
writing on August s, 1917, and asked
belligerent rulers to end the struggle.
During the peace conference his pleas
were issued in behalf Of weaker ma
tons.
Just before the conference President
Wilson had a private conference with
Pope Benedict at the Vatican in which
many questions of social and inter-
national nature were discussed.
The settlement Of the T00-year-old
Irish problem was received with great
pleasure by the pope, who issued
message congratulating the principals
in the negotiations.

Rome.-Pope Benedict XIV Is dead.
From a slight cold, which had not
been regarded as anything serious,
double pneumonia developed, and the
physicians in attendance had given up
hope for the recovery of their dis

In measure prepared the world for
the sad event.
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 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,

said, despite attempts by his attend
ants to dissuade him.
The pope's physicians were in con-
sultation at the Vatican at an early
hour, and the morning bulletin issued

Takes Turn for Worse.

1t was about o'clock in the morning
that the change for the worse in the
pope's condition occurred. 1t was espe-
cially due to catarrh, which has spread
to both lungs, to inability to expec-
torate and to pulmonary Inflammation,
It was stated. Professor Cherubini,
who had been waiting at the Vatican,
was Immediately summoned. He found
the pope mentally depressed and pant
ing for breath.
Realizing the patients serious con-
dition, DIR. Cherubini administered
sedatives and expectorants, but the
beneficial effects expected did not man
ifest themselves. In view of the gray
ity of the situation DR.. Cherubini sent
an urgent call to Professor Bignami,

to bring him to the Vatican. his ar.

Consultation Is Held.

development, 1t appeared. After 9
brief inspection of the patient he left

Pope Given Oxygen.

Soon thereafter, however, the pope's
condition became aggravated and the
administration of oxygen was begun.
Meanwhile, prayers were being said
in all the churches and Catholic insti-
tutions of Rome on behalf of his holi-
ness and great crowds began to as
semble in st. Peters.
The sudden change for the worse
in the pontiff's condition seemed to
have come as great surprise, even
to those who had been observing him
most closely. Last evening he received
some strengthening injections and the
doctors then stated they were salts
fed with his condition, expressing hope
that danger of an extension of the in
fiammation to the lungs had passed
and saying the crisis appeared to be
overcome.
One of the most disturbing condi-
lions that developed early in the day
seemed to be passing away after 10
o'clock in the morning, as the pontiff
was then able to expectorate slightly.
This aroused more hope among the
watchers, but toward II o'clock he be-
came worse again and oxygen then
was administered.
Cardinals Wait Word.
Mgr. Zampini. sacristan of the apos-
tolic palace, Mgr. Carlo Respighi, the
pontifical project of ceremonies, and
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 a consultation, did not conceal
the gravity of the pontiff's condition,
although Professor Marchiafara took
q more hopeful view than his col
leagues.

1t is said that the pope contracted
his present illness three days before
