MAY PROHIBIT SHIPMENT
OF ARMS INTO CHINA
Plan Proposed As Means of Reducing
Size of Armed Forces; Ameri
cans Make Suggestion
Washington.—As one means of giv
ing effect to its declaration last week
In favor of reduction of Chinese army
rhe.arms conference Is considering an
other resolution looking to prohibition
of the importation <»f arms into China.
The proposition emanated from the
American delegation which went into
Monday’s meeting of the far eastern
conference prepared to present It fully.
The sub-committee of the Chinese
Eastern railroad also hud a proposal
ready for consideration.
The arms prohibition pian was be
lieved acceptable to most of the dele
gations of the powers* and it was in
dicated also that the Chinese who
heartily support**! the preceding reso
lution regarding reduction of China’s
army, would not interpose any objec
tion.
At the time of the settlement of the
Boxer difficulties many yerrs ago, one
of the conditions imposed upon China
by the powers was that further impor
tation of firearms Into China should
be prohibited. This provision, how
ever, Is said to have been “more hon
ored In the breach than In the ob
servance’’ and though, from time to
time, mainly at the Instance of Japan,
attention has been called to the ease
with which various brigand and fac
tional bands in China ’'ere able to se
cure the latest firearms from abroad.

POPE BENEDICT
XV SUCCUMBS
TO_PNEUMQNIA

cities of the Great War—Or
dained Priest in 1874.
Rome, Jan. 21.—Benedict XV, the
259th sovereign pontiff of the Church
of Rome, died late today at the Vati
can. The end came after a day of ex
treme agony and delirium, relieved at
times by merciful periods of sleep.
At one time during the dny there
was slight hope that (he pope might
survhe, ns he lapsed Into apparently
restful ami refreshing slumber. This
hope was shattered Inter when, on
awakening, there was a return of pain
and suffering. -•
He had lapsed Into delirium earlier
In'the day and failed Jo recognize any
one at the b?dshle. and during the
curly (tours of the forenoon death was
expected within a few hours.
The pope was in extreme weakness
and restless.
Lying with closed eyes, he mur
mured "Pence, peace,’’ evidently allud
ing suoconscionsly to the great mission
of the pontificate In war time.
Tragic Scene at Dawn.
Other undistinguished messages fell
from his lips from time to time, but
his vitality bad sunk so low that he
spoke in rhe weakest of whispers.
The Jay dawned upon a tragic scene
nt the Vatican. The papal court joined
K i
■ ; W> ]
Pope Benedict XV.
the cardinals In prayer. Outside in
the piazza of St. Peter’s a crowd of
reverent men and women, mostly
kneeling with faces heavenward, ut
tered their, supplications for the recov
ery of the Holy Father
The four attending physicians did
alt in their power to relieve his suffer
ings, but they could hold out no hope
for ultimate recovery. The strain was
telling on all. In the anteroom off
the Sick-chamber high prelates of the
church, faces drawn with the agony
of their sorrow, prayed without ces
sation.
Suffers Grezt Pain.
At 8 a. m. the Holy Father was still
breathing, but was in great pain and
suffering agonized contractions of the
throat. A brief bulletin was issued
saying:
“His holiness is weaker. The symp
toms of pneumonia have extended.”
By this time all hope had been aban
doned and the most optimistic of the
Vatican entourage hid come to realize
that the end was a matter of hours if
not minutes.
Realizes Approach of End.
When the pope lost consciousness
lute Friday afternoon the attending
physicians did not hesitate in express
ing their fears that death was at hand.
The pope had been sinking all day.
due to inflammation of the lungs and
weak heart action, but had retained
consciousness. When he sank Into u
state of cornu, after many hours of
nut lent suffering, al! preparations had
been made and all pre-death ceremo
nies completed.
Shortly before noon the Vatican an
nounced that the pontiff had requested
the Inst sacraments, realizing that he
was dying.
Throughout the afternoon he was
kept alive by use of oxygen and arti
ficial heart stimulants. At night the
four physicians nt the pontifical bed
side administered these restoratives at
frequent intervals.
Shortly after noon Mgn Zampanl
administered the last sacrament.
Cardinal Merry Del Vai, who. as
cardinal chamberlain, asumes papal
uuili<hh> uulH u avw pvpv is elevteu
assumed permanent residence at tin
Vatican.
Cardinal Giorgi begun recitation of
the prayers for tlie dying at 10o’clock
Friday morning. This wus the official
beginning of the grand penitentiarj
ceremonial.
At 11 o’clock t.fficlul notice of the
grave condition of the Holy Father
was sent to the Italian government.
Cardinal Guspavrl was notified as
soon as It was ascertained that the
condition of Ills holiness was critical.
The riiedinul. In teurs. hurried to the
bedside of the pontiff.
When the papal 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. Zampinl read the ceremony
The pope then continued fully con
scious, but owing to his weakehed
condition, only a small drop of holy
water was placed oh his tongue. The
few cardinals gathered about the pon
tiffs bedside recited the Psalms in
subdued tones while the ceremony
lasted.
The grand penitentiary of the sa
cred college, surrounded by assistants,
then approached the bedside and read
to the pontiff the profession of faith
as formulated by the Vatican and lhe
Trent councils.
Monks Recite Formulas.
Cardinal Giorgi, after reading th?
profession of faith, gave to the pon
tiff tlie absolution in articulo mortis.
As though to impress on every one
within hearing lhe solemnity of the
occasion, the words of the formula
were pronounced slowly-
The heads of all .the various re
ligious orders In Rome then entered
the slck-chmuber. One by one they
bestowed on the po|>e the Indulgences
of the various orders which each rep
resented. Throughout tlie ceremony
a profound silence pervaded the room
which was broken only by lhe low
voice of each aged monk as he recited
the formula for his order.
Following the ceremony the proces
sion slowly returned to the Basilica
of St. Peter. Only the domestic prel
ates, whose duty It is to assist the
pontiff until his death, remained
around the sick man.
Groups of nuns and monks belong
ing to nearly ail of the religious or
ders having convents or monasteries
in Rome gathered in the space extend
ing from the great bronze doors of the
Vatican to the top of the Scala Regia,
praying for the pope.
HAD FILLED HIGH POSITIONS
Pope Benedict Prominent in Church
Counsels Before His Elevation
to the Papal Throne.
Pope, Benedict XV rose to the su
preme head of the Catholic church
Sept. 6, 1914, less than six months
after he was elevated to the cardinal
ship. He was born of noble parents
at Pogli, near Genoa, Italy, Nov. 21,
1554. His father wus Marquis Delta
Chlesn.
Educated at Capronican college and
the Academy of Ecclesiastics, he was
ordained to the priesthood In 1878.
He was taken to Madrid, Spain, by
Cardinal Rampolhi, and for four years
was secretary of the nunciature in
Spain. In 190’ he was appointed con
suitor of the holy office and In 1007
Pope Pius gave him the appointment
of archbishop of the see of Bologna.
He was made a cardinal In Muy. 1911.
Pope Benedict was much affected by
the horrors and sorrow of the World
war and many times tried to bring
about pence negotiations. GeHnnny’s
violation of Belgium’s neutrality filled
him with great sorrow and after the
sinking of the Lusitania, he telegraph
ed the German emperor telling his
abhorrence of the deed.
Pope Benedict’s first appeal for
pence was Issued one week after his
ebronation. The appeal failed to bring
results, as did also his later plan for
a Christmas truce. In January and In
July, 1915, he again tried to bring
about peace negotiations, in March,
1916, he repented his attempts and In
May of the same year suggested that
America should act ns conciliator be
tween the warring nations. His note
to President Wilson to this effect
reached Washington when Germany
and the United States were Involved
In a diplomatic crisis. The Vatican ap
proved of President Wilson’s pence
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 hls pleas
were Issued in behalf of weaker na
tlcns.
Just before the conference President
Wilson had a private conference with
Pope Benedict at the Vatican In which
many questions of n social and Inter
national nature were discusser!.
The settlement of the 700-yenr-old
Irish problem was received with great
pleasure by the pope, who Issued n
message congratulating the principals
In the negotiations.

no satisfactory agivement has been

mand that the proposed new agree
ment to take -the place of the present
Mae, which expires Mdrch 31, shall nbt
exceed a period of two years nud pro
hibiting the making of Individual
igreements and contracts.
This scale f’oinnilttee presented 19
proposed demands on the operator*
ind three reeommendations to be car
ried out by'the scale committee.
Other demands provide for a uniform
.vage scale so that various occupations
»f like character shall command the
<am<» wages; that the eight-hour clause

plied to all persons working in and
iliout mines coming under the Juris
