CRITICAL PERIOD IN
ARMAMENT PARLEY
DELEGATES ARE NOW CON-
FRoNTED BY ToUCHY QUES-
TIoNS OF THE FAR EAST

Washington-The Far East discus
sion of the arms conference are en-
treing their final period of discussion,
with most Of the delegates processing
confidence in the outcome but admit
ting that the days just ahead may be
the most critical of the whole Wash
ington negotiations.
Having begun with a declared policy
of disposing first of subjects upon
which agreement appeared easiest, the
plenipotentiaries now find themselves
confronted with decisions on the prob
lens which long have been storm CEN
ters of Oriental politics-enforcem
of the open door in Shantung, Man
churia, and the Japanese occupation
in Siberia.
For the moment all the delegations
appear to have adopted Simultaneous
ly an attitude of waiting, SO that ex-
cept for collateral discussions of va
rious points the work of the confer
ence is at standstill.
The situation again has made japan
the center of conjecture, because Of
her outstanding position in the Far
East and because most Of the prob
lens to be approached have arisen
over policies and acts emanating from
Toxic.
Representatives of the other powers
are speculating to what extent the
United States will go in repeating
the many protests she has made in
the past against Japanese seizures in
Shantung and elsewhere on the conti-
nent OF Asia, and in seeking an eff
fective means by which readjustments
may be brought about.
Because the Washington govern
ment has thus taken the lead in pro-
testing heretofore, however, some of
the delegates believe American offic
ials wouldn OF object if some other del
cation now took upon it's shoulders
the task of stating pointedly the de-
sires of the powers regarding future
Japanese Chinese relations. But there
is no indication that any other power
is preparing to do So
The Japanese meantime are wait
ing, but throwing out suggestions that
any attempt to force Japan's with
drawal from Shantung, Manchuria or
Siberia, except on terms that will pro-
tect her interests" is sure to meet
bitter and protracted opposition.

Washington.-The problem of 81
IBERIA, the only topic on the agenda
of the Washington conference now re-
naming unexplored, is to replace the
Chinese questions during the coming
week as the paramount concern OF
the arms delegations.
BY most of the delegations the ST.
berian situation is not expected to lead
to a long discussion, and it is predict
cd generally that by the end of the
week the Far Eastern discussions will
find themselves once more abreast of
the almost-concluded naval negotia
tions.
The Japanese, who expect Siberia
to be considered at the next meeting
Of the Far Eastern Committe, receiv-
ed from Toxic an expression Of policy
by Foreign Minister Pchida, which
they regard as determining definitely
the attitude of their government
against withdrawal of Japanese troops
from Siberia until stable adminiStra-
tion has been established there. This
position the delegation is expected t,
lay before the committee as soon as il
begins it's Siberian discussions, bring
ing the negotiations at once to a con-
sideration of the central issue in
Volved in the problem. There is no
indication htat any power intends to
stubbornly dispute the Japanese stand,
or to bring on prolonged debate over
minor questions.
in some quarters there is apparent
q belief that Japan should be invited to
set a definite date for withdrawal of
her military forces, but the Japanese
delegates said tonight they have no
present intention of doing so. Their
troops, they claim, are in Siberia sole
ly to protect Japanese interests during
the present unsettled conditions, and
therefore it would be wholly impos-
sible to fix a withdrawal date until
there are dfinite assurances of an i'm
provement.
Although the Far Eastern Commit
tee is about to shift it's attention to
Siberia few of the Chinese questions
still remain to be disposed of. and will
receive consideration when the causes
which prompted their postponment are
removed. The Chinese request for
oorogation of the "21 demands" treat
les is among these, but is not expected
to come UP until the Shantung negotia-
tions are ended. Other subjects in
ciude the Chinese Eastern railway
1896, both of which are considered like
ly to dove-tail into the Siberian discus
sions as they proceed.

eginning Of the grand penitentiary

beginning of the grand penitentiary
ceremonial.
AT IL o'clock official notice of the
grave condition of the Holy Father
was sent to the Italian government.
Cardinal Gasparri was notified as
soon as it was ascertained that the
condition of his holiness was critical.
The cardinal, in tears, hurried TO the
bedside of the pontiff.
When the papaI secretary Of state
arrived the pope was resting tran
quilly and Immediately requested that
the last sacraments be administered.
His holiness was conscious and calm
as Mgr. Zampini read the ceremony.
The pope then continued fully con
sciOus. but owing to his weakened
condition, only small drop of holy
water was placed on his tongue. The
few cardinals gathered about the pom
tiff'S bedside recited the Psalms In
subdued tones while the ceremony
lasted.
The grand penitentiary of the sa-

then approached the bedside and read
to the pontiff the profession of faith
as formulated by the Vatican aud the
Trent councils.
Monks Recite Formulas.
The heads of all the various re-
ligious orders in Rome then entered
the sick-chamber. One by one they
bestowed on the pope the indulgences
of the various orders which each rep
resented. Throughout the ceremony
a profound silence pervaded the room,
which was broken only by the low
voice of each aged monk as he recited
the formula for his order.
Following the ceremony the process
sion slowly returned to the Basilica
of st. Peter. Only the domestic prel-

pOntiff until his death, remained

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 tho Catholic church
Sept. 6, 1914, less than six months
after he was elevated to the cardinal
ship. He was born of noble parents
at PogIi, near, Genoa, Italy, Nov. 81,
1854. His father was Marquis Della
| Chiesa.
Educated at Capronican college ann
the Academy of EccleSiasticS, he was
ordained TO the priesthood, in 1878.
He was taken to Madrid. Spain. by
Cardinal Rampolia, 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 gtfse him the appointment
of archbishop of the see of Bologna.
He was made Il 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 ais
adherence of the deed.
Pope Bcnedict'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
Christmas truce. In January and in
July. 1915. he again tried to brias
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 diplomatic crisis. The Vatican ap-
proved of President Wilson's peace
note in 1917, but three months later
the United States entered the war.
The Pope's most memorable appeal
for peace was issued in his own hand
writing on August 8, 1917. and asked
belligerent rulers to end the struggle.
During the peace conference his pleas
were tSSueu III Dcndil VI "SohSA Aet
tions.
Just before the conference President
Wilson had private conference with
Pope Benedict at the Vatican In which
many questions of social and tnteri
national nature were discussed.
The settlement of the 7OO-year-oid
Irish problem was received With great
pleasure by the pope, who issued
message congratulating the principais

his vitality had sunk so low that he
spoke in the weakest of whispers.
The day dawned upon tragic scene
at the Vatican. The papal court joined
the cardinals In prayer. Outside In

kneeling with faces heavenward, ut

cry Of the Holy Father.

for ultimate recovery. The strain was

that the end was matter of hours if
