diets life is near at hand This was announced without qualification by the attending physicians early this Sunday morning. All hope had been definitely abandoned and at 2 a. m.. a fatal issue was pronounced immi- nent.
 There had been moments Saturday when it was feared the e-end had come but stimulants revived the pontiff and his natural powers of resistance carried him through the turning point temporarily. He seemed to cling to life as did Pope Plus x in 1914. when the final outcome was in doubt for many hours.
 Dr. Battistini. the chief attending physician. visited the patient several times Saturday night. Each time, he said that any minute might see the conclusion of the long hours of suf- fering through which Benedict KY had passed.
 The last announcement of the eve ming to the diplomatic representa- tives waiting in the ante-chamber was made by Cardinal Gasparri. papal secretary of state, who said:
 Last Prayer For Peace
 "A catastrophe is imminent. The Holy Father is getting worse and worse; We must be prepared for the inevitable"
 The cardinals face was downcast and sad. He spoke in quiet tones. with deep emotion. making gestures with his hands. showing that His Hol- mess was sinking lower and lower.
 After the publication Of the latest bulletin, Cardinal Giorgi. Monsignor Migone. Father Basil and Dr. Battis- tini, remained by the bedside. After a time. the doctor told His Holiness that they were praying for the peace of the world, to which the pope re- piled:
 'I would willingly offer my life for the peace of the world"
 He then turned on his side and lay watching those near him.
 It was a day of great uncertainty in Rome and deep anxiety among those who watched and prayed at the Vatican, for virtually all hope of the pope's recovery was abandoned even in the early morning.
 Sleep Is Beneficial
 AS the hours passed. the wonder grew at the recuperative powers of the pope, which enabled him to pass from one sinking spell and another to periods of comparative restfulness and strength It was this changing condition that inspired the pope at one minute and gave rise to rumors of death at another.
 It was thought that if the pope passed safely through the night. he would have a chance of life after ths dawn. and so it proved. In the early part of the day, sleep came and seemed to add to his pow CTS of resistance Throughout the day, great crowds gathered around the Vatican and double row of roy al guards took up positions in the out skirts of St Peters, forming pas sageway for diplomatic representa- tives, prelates and other notables. Cardinal Gasparri. papal secretary of state, received many telegrams from all parts of the world including those from King George of England. and the king of Belgium. The cardi- nal spent considerable time in the sick room. but entered the ante-cham- i Der shortly after 5 o'clock. He said:

SMUCCLERS OF ENGLISH CLOTH
 GROW WEALTHY
Germans Making Money by Illicit Earnings Through
 Dodging Duties.

BERLIN, Jan. 21-Smugglers are making immense profits by bringing English cloth for mems suits past the customs line to the tailors of Berlin Their Illicit earnings are made pos sible by the high German import du ties on that class of material.
 The tailoring establishments are visited almost daily by sailors or other ship employees with huge rolls of English tweeds and other fabrics in one-suit pieces, which they have succeeded in purchasing at English ports and bringing in duty free. One of these smugglers, a New York man, said some English cloth deal CTS are making a regular business of supplying the smuggling trade.
 The cloth is sold at one-fourth to one-fifth the price it would cost if the import duty was paid. Tailors are quick to purchase the fabrics. The smugglers also visit foreigners and offer their wares for sale.
 The smugglers go quite openly about their business They may be seen walking the streets with big bundles on their backs. A few of the more venturesome have even offered the goods for sale on the sidewalks. where they find ready takers.
 A French sailor who had been smuggling for several months said he was going to retire from the game" having made enough money to open a shop of his own in Paris
