Rev. E.J. McCarthy
Tells of Audience
He Had With Pope.
Describes Pontiff as Small in
Stature and Quite Thin
Was Dressed in Long
Cassock.
A conception of the personality and
tleep fervor of Pope -Benedict XV
may bej gathered fromthe words of
Rev. E. J. McCarthy, superior-general
of the Chinese Mission society
in Omaha, who had an audience with
the distinguished pontiff a year ago
this month,
"He was small in stature, quite
thin, but with the piercing eyes and
countenance indicative of wonderful
stamina," said Father McCarthy.
"He didn't have that stern appear
ance and was most gracious m an
audience with anyone.
f Room Like Hallway
"To enter his presente in a spa
cious room that he used as ati office
was like being in a large hallway,"
said Father McCarthy. "When I haJ
an audience with Pope Benedict XV,
I found him sitting at an ordinary
desk,; He was dressed in a long
white cassock and pontifical cap. He
wore a large crucifix in his sash. His
greeting was very ordinary even
with a handshake,- and his conversa
tion quite informal."
. ; Had Remarkable Vigor.
Pbpe Benedict discussed freely
with'- Father McCarthy the good
work of the Chinese Mission society
priests in China. Throughout the
audience he showed remarkable vig

one moment and gave rise to rumors
of death at another.
. In the early part of the day sleep

Crowds Surround Vatican.
Throughout the day great crowds
gallic-fed; ground the Vatican and a
doubie;rbw of royal guards took up
positions in the outskirts of St. Pe
ters, forming a passageway for diplomatic-
representatives, prelates
and other notables. Cardinal Gas
parri, papal secretary of state, re
ceived many telegrams from all
parts of the world, includine those
Strom Kimr Gcorare of En eland and
the king of Belgium. The cardinal'
spent considerable time in the sick
room, : but . entered the ante cham-
bcr shortly. after 5 o clock. He said:
i came out to.announce that there
is no further hope. The pope may
be considered as 4iaving virtually
ceased-to-exist." This -caused con
sternation among thoseT assembled
and Gasparri 'was weeping as he
came from the room in which the
pontiff wis 'dying. -
And yet, later in ' - the evening,
more hopeful word was . received
from ; the pope's bedside and on
each' occasion the spirits of those
in ; the Vatican were raised, notwith
standing,!, Ba.ttistini's. continuous
'admission that the pontiffs1 condi
fion was "most grave." ' s.

their families out with them, not dar

would have been the first victims of
boUhevik tyranny and many .of
them, in spite of brave efforts at self
support, arc destitute in foreiglt lands
at the mercy of the tempest which is
sweeping over the world.
"These refugees, mostly women,
children and wounded men, are mak
ing no demand on our charity, never
crying out, and I would not be the
first beggar among them nor spoil
the dignity of their martyrdom. But
in them rests the economic recon
struction of their native land, and in
justice we owe them gratitude for
their help hi the past."

Saturday morning, the patient Tal

attendance. " v. " --T-t
When Battistiui said to the pope:
"I am going now," the 'holy father
smilingly replied: "But why; "don't
go, my dear old man."
Oxygen was administered and ap
peared to give slight relief. Shortly
after 1 o'clock Cardinal Migone cele

,' ' ' . Alwaya Cheerful.
During his suffering, . the . pope
never relinquished his affability
toward those of his household who
attended him, smiling, even banter
ing, the.. dott'orVand recognizing and
appreciating every attention from
his visitors. On his bed of pain, the
pontiff seemed a figure, of imposing
moral grandeur. ' V ,
"What a; man! sUVhat'' pope!"
have -been' common" expressions of
admiration. To his' aged doctor,
who refused to take rest, the pope
said: "Go and h'e ' down ;' you are an
old man now.", '
When the pope's;n'ephew, Marquis
Delia Chiesadc'Spite his own illness,
came to the bedside this morning,
the pontiff reproached him for his
imprudence and 'hogged ', him: to re
turn immediately 't6. bed,'' .. "
When Cardinal Gasparri was un
able to put. his hand on the ponti
fical will in a drawer of the desk,
the pope called to him:
"Your eyes are bad. Bring me
the -drawer, I will look myself."
Smile for All.
. Thus, through hours of agony,
there fell from his mouth for each
who approached him, a word and a
smile, a "thank you" or word of en
couragement. Even when his condi
tion became . worse and he,; was no
longer able .to take oxygen, he de
sited the archbishop of Bologna to
recount every detail of the fetes and
teceptions held at the enthronement
oi'Monsignor Rocca as archbishop.
At . another moment he desired to
know the names of the . diplomatic
corps present in the ante chamber. -More
than once during the ' past
few days it has been remarked that
renedict preserved on his sick bed,
the same zeal, the same lucidity, ths
same spirit he showed in his daily
audience, it might even be said to a
greater degree. -.
After the publication of the latest
bulletin, Cardinal Giorgij Monsignor
Migone, Father Basil an'd Dr. Battis-
tin i, remained by the bedside. After
a time the doctor told his holiness
that they were praying for the peace
cf the world, to which the pope re
plied: -
1 woijld willingly offer my life

He then turned on his side and
lay watching those near him.;

should be reduced. Armies in-many
states are of such size as to neces
sitate continuing inflation, either
through currency or short time bills.
The economic loss in productivity
of the nations is not measured alone
by the number of men under arms,
but by the spirit that surrounds the
entire situation.
Russian Situation Factor. -"The
situation in Russia and east
ern Europe has also a bearing upon
the problem. .The total extinction of
economic productivity, in Russit
trom an export and import point of
view, seriously threatens the econ
omy of western Europe. Slow heal
ing of the economic disruption, due
to the creation of new states, can
not be ignored. .
"Beyond this again; there arises the
i,uestion of domestic debt in some or
the states of Europe. The increas:
ing volume of these, domestic debts
under -pressure of unbalanced bud
gest, makes more and more uncertain
the point at which stability of values
(sn be expected.
"The Washington conference on
the limitation of naval armaments
is a definite and positive path that
leads to commercial stability and its
effect has already been felt in the
exchanges of the world."
Gold Attracted to U. S.
Commenting on the flow of gold
to the United Statees the statement
says: - '
"The situation in the United States
is unfortunate in that the high pre
mium on American exchange attracts
to this country the gold How ot
the world. We are today overstock
ed with gold beyond our currency
reeds. The surplus earns no interest
and serves no useful purpose.
"The United States feels it to be
to its own interest that this gold
should be utilized in foreign chan
nels and also that it be redistributed.
From an economic point of view, the
method of utilization is by the in
vestment of - capital abroad.'. The
method of redistribution should be
through loans for reproductive en
terprise and by specific gold loans to
countries which are in a position to
undertake the reorganization of their
currencies on a gold basis. The
United States section regards it as
mutually desirable and profitable that
capital investments should be made
in the other American republics
where national credit rests squarely
on stability in the social order.".

Against Farmers
Democrat Declare President
and Republican Leaders
Are Attempting to De
stroy Agricultural Bloc.
Wahrington, Jan. 22. President
Harding, Secretary Weeks and other
republican leaders, today were de
clared by Senator Harrison, demo
crat, Mississippi, to be hostile to
agricultural interests and to be aim
ing to destroy the senate agricultural
bloe.
"The administration's main right
now," said the senate, vrf.o is a
member of the bloc, "is against the
agricultural group for fear it might
put througfi some beneficent legis-
I lation for the farmers.
He also attacked the emergency
tariff law, declaring it was an "ab
solute failure and contending prices
', of farm products had decreased after
its enactment. This statement was
challenged by republican senators.
President Harding's address to
congress, in which he deplored group
legislation, the senator said, was
"aimed against the. agricultural bloc."
A "reaction" to this speech was im
mediately registered by farmers, he
added, and "to get from under,"
President Harding called the agricul
tural conference. This conference,
the senator said, was "camouflage."
"I wish it every success," he add
ed, "but in my very heart, I believe
it's a device, a piece cf camouflage.
The president came to congress and
spoke against the bloc He felt the
reaction from the attacks upon the
agricultural interests. After Secre
trry Weeks' recent New York
speech, there was still greater reac
tion." .
When Mr. Harrison attacked the
emergency tariff law, Senator Bur
sum, republican, New Mexico, de
clared sheep prices had increased 100
per cent and wool price 50 per cent
with the assistance of that law. '
