Changed Effective SYSTEM.

In November, 1916, Benedict instituted
reform which was of Importance to
the American Catholic world when he
changed the procedure for the election
Of Bishop In the United States. Pre-
viously the custom was that the ire
movable rectors and the diocesan con-
sultors OF the vacant diocese should
meet and select three candidates whose
names were forwarded to the Arch
bishop Of the province The Bishops of
the province examined the names and
then selected three candidates who
might or might not be identical with
those selected by the rectors and the
consultors. The recommendations were
then forwarded to the Pope.
Instead of this system, Benedict SUBJ
sttuted a. method under which the
Bishops of the province. in the lifetime
Of the incumbent of each see. select
suitable priests in each diocese and for
ward heir names secretly to Rome.
Thus. when the Bishop Of a diocese
dies, the Pope has at hand the names
of the men considered worthy to sue
ceed him and can appoint his successor
Immediately. The long delay OF the
other system is thus eliminated.
In May, 1916. continuing his efforts
toward peace, the Pope sent special
message to President Wilson, the con-
tents Of which were never divulged. In
his allocution of December 4, 1916, he
raised his voice for peace. deplcring the
horrible madness OF Europe" In Au-
gust. 1917. he proffered formal pro-
posaI that all sides agree on a basis of
no indcmnities and restoration of all
occupied territory, but President Will
son, replying for the Allies, stated to
the Pope that the German Government
was irresponsible and that there could
be no dealing with it.
Memorable Meeting With Wilson.
When President Wilson visited Rome
early In january. 1919, he paid a men,
cradle VISIT to Pope Benedict. and at
the close OF the visit the Pope presented
to Mr.. Wilson a beautiful and valuable
mosaic reproduction OF Guido Rents

something that had not been possible
since 1870. The lifting OF the ban by
Pope Benedict was hailed as a great
forward step in the better relations Of
church and government.
Quite recently the late Pope hailed
President Harding's proposal for an
armament and Far Eastern congress
with pleasure and thanlzfulness as an

Restless Saturday Night.

An all night vigil which the Associated
Press correspondent kept in the ante
chamber of the Pope's private apart
ment brought evidence that the Pope
clung to life only by a slender thread.
He passed an extremely restless night
suffering as he was from extensive con-
gestion of both lungs aud from tae in
tense agony caused by shallow and
rapid respiration. When DR.. Battls-
tint visited his Holiness in the very
early hours of Saturday morning. the
patient rallied somewhat and was able
TO exchange a few words with those i'll
attendance.
When Battistini said to the Pope:
''T am going now" the Holy Father
smilngly replied: But don't go. my
dear old man."
Oxygen was administered at various
times and seemed to give slight relief.
Shortly after o'clock Cardinal Migone
celebrated mass in the chapel. adjoining
the Pope's bedchamber, situated on the
top floor. at which members OF the
Noble Guard were present.
During all the hours OF his suffering
the Pope never relinquished his affa-
biity toward those OF his household
who attended him. smiling. even ban
tering the doctors. and recognizing and
appreciating every attention from his
visitors. On the bed of pain the Pontiff
seemed a figure of imposing moral
grandeur.

nope at one moment and gave wise to

hope at one moment and gave rise to
tumors of death at another.
It was thought. that If the Pope
passed safely through the night he
would have a chance OF life after the
GAVIN, and so it proved. In the early
bart of the day sleep came and
seemed to add to his powers of re-
sistance.
Throughout the day great crowds
gathered around the Vatican, and a
double row of Royal Guards took up
positions in the outskirts of st.
Peters, forming passageway. for
diplomatic representatives, prelates
and other notable personages con-
stantly arriving.
Cardinal GasparrI, Papal Secretary
OF State, received a great number of
kilograms from all parts of the world,
including King George of England,
King Alfonso of Spain, the King of
the Belgians and TIE President of
Brazil. The Cardinal spent consider
able time in the sick room, but en-
tered the artechambcr shortly after
s o'clock in the evening, where he was
surrounded by those who had waited
hours for definite news. He said to
them:
II came out TO announce to the
diplomatic corps that there is no fur
ther hope. The Pope may be con-
sidered as having virtually ceased to,
exist"
This caused CONSERVATION among
those assembled in the pontifical
apartment, and Gasparri was weeping
as he came from the room in which
the Pontiff was dying.
And yet later in the evening more
hopeful word was received from the
Pope's bedside, and on eaci, occasion
the spirits of those in the Vatican
were relatively raised, notwithstand-
ing DR.. Battistini's continuous adj
monition that the Pontiffs condition

New Pope Almost Un,snown.

At this precise junc:ure In the world
affairs the Sacred College was faced
with the task OF choosing a Pope COM
petent to guide the church through an
appalling crisis. War was flaming over
Europe. Destructive forces we're every
where threatening civilization. Many
names were mentioned, but that OF the
young Archbishop Of Bologna was not
among them In the earlier discussions.
Gasperri and Vanutelli were high in
favor.
On a Monday evening the Cardinals
went into conclavo and the Slstine
Chapel was locked. Tuesday and
Wednesday waiting crowds repeatedly
saw the column of white smoke rise
from the chimneys of the chapel. a sign
that a futile ballot had been cast. On
Thursday morning, September 2. 1914
the crowd heard the proclamation that
