del Val. Cardinal laurent and Cardi
nal Nannutelli. The foreign ambassa-
doris. anxious for news, also began to
send in requests for information on
the Pontif's condition.
Cardinal Gasparri who was with the
Pope from $50 O'Clock unit; 3:45, met
in the nte-chambcr shortly after that
nour all the diploma fists in Rome who
called personally for news. Referring
to the Pope's doing spell. which the
physclans interpreted favorably, the
Cardinal said the situation unfortu-
nateiy remained extremely grave.
throughout the night there WAS al
mosC absolute silence at the Vatican.
With only few guards pacing up and
down and here and there various at
tcndants performing their tasks The
top Hoor, where the Popes apartments
arc, was almost deserted, save for one
guard, who was on duty near the en-
trance to the Pontiff's chambers.
Inside the spacious apartments there
was the most intense solemnity as
hour by hour the night passed, with
the condition of His Holiness appa-
rently becoming progressively worse.
zach visitor who had been in the pom
tlhcal bed chamber was received with
questions as to the Pontiffs state. Most
OF them simply signitied with their
hands that the condition of His Holi

the Egyptian Column in the center to
see if from the light in the Pontir's
room they could gain any inkling Of
what was going on. Then. as daylight
broke, the forms of the cardinals could

Pope clung to life only by slender
thread. He passed an extremely rest
less night. suffering as he WAS from
extensive congestion of both lungs and
from the intense agony caused by shall
low and rapid respiration. When Dr..
Battistini visited His Holiness in the
very early hours of Saturday morning
the patien: rallied somewhat and was
able to exchange a few words with
those in attendance.
When Battistini said to the Pope:
q am going now" the Holy Father
smiingly replied: "But why don't you
go, my dear old man."
Oxygen Gives Slight Relief
Oxygen was administered at various
times. and seemed to give slight relief.
Shortly after ] o'clock Cardinal Migone
celebrated mass in the chapel adioin-
ing the Pope's bedchamber. situated on
the top floor, at which members of the
Noble Guard were present
During all the hours Of his suffer

ai}abiity toward those OF his house
hold who attended him, smiling, even
bantesing the doctors. and recognizing
and apprecating every attention from
his visitors. On the bed of pain the
PontiF seemed figure of imposing
moral grandeur.
"What a mani What Popc!" have
been common expressions Of admira
ton. To his aged doctor, who refused
to take rest. the Pope said: "Go and
lie down; you are an old man now"
When The Pope's nephew, Marquis
della Chiesa. despite his own illncss
came to the bedside early in the morn
ing, the Pontif reproached him for his
imprudence and begged him to return
lmm lately to bed.
When Cardinal Gasparri was unable
to put his hand on the Pontifcal will
in a drawer of the desk, the Pope
called TO him: "Your eyes are bad.

Smiles Through His Agony
Thus, through hours of agony, there
fell from his mouth for each who ap-
preached him word and smile.
''thank you.' or some word of en-
couragement. Even when his condi
ton became worse and he was no
longer able to take oxygen, he desired
the Archbishop Of Bologna to recount
every detail Of the fetcs and receptions
held at the recent enthronement OF
Monsignor Rocca as archbishop. At
another moment he desired to know
the names of the members of the
diplomatic corps present in the ante
chambcr

DETROIT, Jan. 13.-Detroit will soon be dry in reality. Federal pro- hibition officers declare, as the re- suit of decision by Magistrate w. E. Gundy, in Windsor Police Court, that only firms holding Do- minion charters and licenses for bonded warehouses could export li- auor from Ontario.
 The decision wipes out the busi- ness of several mushroom companies that sprang up recently to sell liquor to persons running 1t over the river and disposing of it in the United States
 Magistrate Gundy's decision was given in the case of the Ontario Li- cense Commission. against the Es- sex Export Company. Petite Cote, Ontario firm. The export company was charged with storing it's liquor in an illegal place, a boathouse in Petite Cote.

Parsirnony Not

DENVER, Jan. 13. Henceforth Colorado is to be the haven for hus- bands threatened with divorce be- cause of parsimony. Penury-even downright stinginess no grounds for legal separation. The man who piles up his pennies and makes his wife account for every nickel is not guilty of mental. or any other kind of cruelty. according to District Judge Chester J. Morley.
 Emma Guthrie appealed to Judge Morley for divorce from Ewing C. Guthrie. pioneer physician. The Guth- ries. according to the complaint had lived harmoniously for twenty-five years when the physician became "so parsimonious he made the complain ant account for every cent expended for personal or household expenses

BRITISH FORGET GAY HABITS AS
 WAR RESULT
LONDON IS IN BED AT ELEVEN AND INFLUENCE OF DEFENSE
 OF REALM ACT CONTINUES DESPITE ITS REPEAL

1 LONDON, Jan 13-This one-time
 metropolis of the world has forgotten
 how to be gay; it has lost it's capa- ! city for enjoyment Midnight revels
 and supper parties are things of the
 past Restaurants and railroads report an l extraordinary slump in patronage and l declare London has been demoralized, , hypnotized and broken spirited by
 wartime restrictions. The city now
 deliberately chooses to go to bed
 at eleven.
 i Six years ago the night life of 1 London-its suppers, entertainments 1 and dances-was one of it's principal features. From eleven at night to | four in the morning was the gayest period of the day People came from
 afar for the pleasure of few nights
 in the city.
 And then, just six years ago, came
 the heavy hand of what was known as Dora otherwise the Defence of the Realm act. It was made illegal to obtain drink after nine thirty
 Dancing was practically ruled out entirely after dark. Even restau-
 rants had to shut at ten-thirty. Zep-
 pelins and economy killed London's gay evenings. Two months ago, after three years of peace. the restrictions were lifted.
 It is now possible to get drink in
 London until twelve-thirty and even
 up to four in the morning, in places specially favored. Champagne can now ] be drunk openly instead of out of
 cups, and it is no longer necessary to carry a pocket flask of whiskey.
 It seemed as though nothing stood in 1 the way of Londoners reverting to their former habits.
 At any rate, the restaurants, thea 1 ters and dancing places thought so. They laid all their plans for an orgy of enjoyment and expected big
 boom The tubes" the subWays of London, agreed with them and, in stead of stopping their service at midnight ran trains until one thirty.
 They had visions of heavy post night traffic.
 All were wrong alike. Londoners had forgotten that there were such things as suppers after the theaters. ! They could not realize that late, trains were permitted or that it was really legal to dance after midnight The early bed habit had grown too strong. Respectfully the tubes have had toi admit the fact. They have even counted the passengers leaving Pic cadilly Circus-the heart of London on four trains leaving in various direc- tions at 1850 a. m. On one there were twenty-five people, on another thirty -four, on the third thirteen and the fourth eleven. And each of these trains is scheduled to carry 800 people. No wonder that transporta- tion authorities are debating whether late traffic is worth while.
 Restaurants tell similar story. At the Savoy Hotel, in 1914 about $50 suppers used to be served nightly. Now the maximum is about 450. The same state of affairs occurs in all the other fashionable hotels and res taurants. Night life is still strange to London. {, It may be that under crushing tax ation, everyone is hard-up. Perhaps war horrors and bureaucratic restric- tions have knocked the gayety out off London's heart. Whatever the cause London is now a sadder place than many second-rate provincial city.
