Two-Volume Treatise on "Democ
racy" Brought Out by Aged
Man in April, 1921.
LONDON, Jan. 22. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Viscount James Bryce
dipJ at Sidmouth today.
The end came peacefully and some
what suddenly. Viscount Bryce had
been staying In Sidmouth for three
Reeks and was extremely energetic
to the Last.
As a man of letters and a publicist.
Viscount Bryca was a world figure.
Outside of his own country he was
best known In the United States,
where, since the early "80s, his Inter
ests had so lara-ely centered that he
was sometimes styled an "English
Tankee."
One remarkable thing repeatedly
(aid of him was that he knew Amer
ica better than most Americans. His
"History of the American Common
wealth" has been a standard text
book in the schools of the United
mates for the past generation pro
viding the spectacle of. a foreigner In
structing Americans In the workings
end structure of their own life and
lnws, as de Tocqueville had done to
ime extent years previously In his
"Democracy In America."
Personality Kelt Strena-ly.
Through his book, through innum
erable addresses in this country and
through five years' service as the
British ambassador in Washington,
Viscount Bryce became one of the
most notable human links in the
chain of friendly relations between
the United States and Great Britain.
The extent to which he made his
personality felt Is explained In part
by the fact that, 'while he was a
scholar and statesman of the highest
rank, he always could be found will
ing to meet people and to discuss
publicly and n a friendly way topics
of national and International Interest.
He was a man of varied achieve
ments and mere reference to his In
terest In America does not by any
means sum up his remarkable career.
Ho was called "the most versatile
living Englishman," which would be
true, said one biographer, had he not
been born in Ireland, son of a Scotch
father and Irish mother, and educat
ed in GJasgow, whence he went to
Oxford. He was born In Belfast May
10, 1S38. his father being Rev. James
Bryce of Glasgow, a clergyman of -the
established church, and his motlier,
Jiargaret (Young) Bryce of County
Antrim, Ireland, He was educated 'n
the high school and University of
Glasgow and subsequently gained a
scholarship at Oxford, from which he
obtained his B. A. degree In 186a and
his D. C. U. in 1870. He afterwards
added to his honors degrees in many
of the most famous universities In the
world.
Hletorr Written at 24,
As a mattf r of dates It Is Interest
ing that in 1862, the year of his
graduation from Oxford, when he
waa only 24 years old. appeared his
"Holy lloman Empire," a work which
ha come to be used in colleges and
universities the world over, and
which, like his "American Common
wealth," reflects remarkable capacity
for research and philosophical vision.
The "Holy Itoman Empire" was an
expansion of the Arnold prize essay
which he delivered at his graduation
from Oxford.
Mr. Bryce practiced law In London
for 15 years, and for 23 years was
honored with the Heglus professor
ship of civil law at Oxford, the old
est chair in Europe, dating from 1546.
When he was first elected to the
house, of commons in 1880 as a lib
eral of the most pronounced type.
Jlr. Bryce was generally considered
a failure as a political factor. During
the ensuing 22 years of parliament
ary life, however, he became a land
mark in the British politics and be
came recognized as one of the intel
lectual forces of the house. The
London district he first represented
was a quarter composed of German
Jews, whose support Mr. Bryce
gained largely because of his ability
to address and understand his con
stituents In their own language.
Many Offices Held.
In 18S6 he wag appointed under
secretary of state for foreign affairs;
he served as chancellor for the duchy
of Lancaster, which gave him a seat
In the Gladstone cabinet; and he was
president of the board of trade in
the Itosebery government. With the
llheruUf In power again in 1906, Mr.
Bryce was mado chief secretary for
Ireland, a post for which he was pre
eminently fitted, as he always had
been a friend to Ireland and an ex
ponent of homo rule. After holding
this post for 13 months in the Camp-bcli-Hunnerman
ministry be resigned
to accept King Edward Vll's appoint
ment of him as ambassador to the
Vnited States to succeed Sir Henry
llortlmer Dunmd.
The appointment met with uni
versal approval on both sides of the
Atlantic.
Peace Leaajue Proposed.
Throughout the world war the fa
mous siaioBtmin. diplomat and author
was active in many other efforts to
.meliorate the condition of war vic
tims, notably the Armenians and
poles. In 1317 details of what were
known as the "Bryce scheme" for a
leaeue to enforce peace were made
puli lie.
They antedated by some two years.
Lord Bryce indicated, the proposal
advocated by ex-l'resldent Taft and
Indorsed by ex-President Wilson, and
out of these and other discussions
grew the league of nations.
In August, 1921. Lord Bryce In a
lecture before the Institute of Politics
at Williams college. Willlamstown,
Mass., declared the treaty of Ver
eailles had received nothing but cen
sure in Europe and had resulted In
"sowing the seeds of future wars."
He declared that one unprecedented
and painful feature of the war was
that t'he victors bear as much re
sentment as the vanquished." He saw
danger of fresh conflict on the Rhine.
In the Tyrol, the Balkans, Russia and
Turkey.
Turks Are Blamed.
Lord Bryce was particularly se
vere on the Turks, whom he blamed
for starting European wars. He urged
early In the war that the Turk should
be "driven out of Europe." and, in
an appeal to the United States to suc
cor the Armenians, said that nearly
1.000,000 of them had been extermi
nated by their hereditary enemies.
The author of 'The American Com
monwealth." whom ex-Premier Bal
four once called "the greatest living
authority on the American constitu
tion," brought out another work In
April. 1921. a two-volume book on
"Democracy." It was a monumental
EVERY POSSIBLE EFFORT
MADE BY POPE TO END WAR
Pontificate Taken Up Soon After Europe Is Enveloped in Four Years
of Hostilities Pleas Sent to Germany and Other Hostile Nations.
POPE BENEDICT XV, the 259th
successor of St. Peter as supreme
head of the Roman Catholic
church, began his pontificate on Sep
tember C. 1914, soon after Europe en
tered upon Its four years of war.
Upon many occasion during the war
he endeavored to bring the belligerent
nations to a peace agreement and thus
to maintain the title which had been
affectionately bestowed upon him by a
high dignitary of his communion as
"a messenger God sent to bring
peace."
Catholics' War Is Sorrow.
The war between Italy and Aus
tria, In both of which peoples of the
Catholic religion predominate, was
particularly a great sorrow to the
pope. Those near to him said he
deprecated the German violation of
Belgium. When the Lueltania was
sunk he telegraphed to the men

exhorted to put aside d'lssensions and
to "enter Into a council ot peace vim

Again on January 18. 1915, Pope

and laity of the Cathollo church
throughout the world should unite
in services and prayers for the res

on July 28. 1915, the first anniversary
of the war, when he Issued an appeal
to all rulers, declaring that "blessed

edict had written to the late Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria asking him
to "shorten the war," and likewise
sounded the then emperor of Germany
as to the terms upon which he would
lay down the gage of battle.
Plea Is Made for Aid.
Pope Benedict's attitude toward the
peace conference of 1919 was said to
have been one of fatherly solicitude.
Early the previous December, In a
letter to President Wilson, he pleaded
for aid on behalf of oppressed na
tionalities and later committed the
church of which he was the head to
"do all In its power to support the
decisions of the delegates at Ver
sailles." In all of his messages and
addresses he expressed the hope that
peace would be based upon Christian
principles.
While the peoples of every land
were suffering in some form the
rigors of war, the pope personally
observed all the rules for food con
servation formulated by the Italian
authorities and with his own hand
ordered the Vatican on food card ra
tions whloh continued until the end
of the conflict.
Always abstemious In eating and
drinking, Benedict XV observed even
greater simplicity at the table during
the troublous days of his pontificate.
Visitors have said that he lived as
plainly as the poorest contributors
of Peter's pence.

DEATH IS DESCRIBED
Cardinal Gasparri Declares End
Came After Xlght of Intense
Agony and Suffering.
(Continued From First Pare.)
5 A. M. it was certain that the ena
was close. Accordingly, Cardinals
Gasparri, Sampe and Pizzardo and all
the pontifical household were notified
that the end was approaching. Car
dinal Gasparri approached the bed
chamber at 6:60, walking with short,
rapid steps to the bedside of the
dying pontiff. He had been there
only nine minutes before the pope
bieathed his last.
Clorgl Attends Poatlfx.
Cardinal GiorgI, grand penitentiary,
attended the pope throughout theJ
i.tsiii ij ui5 iirvi mass iur uin
holiness shortly after midnight. He
was assisted by Monslgnor Kespighe,
prefect ,of ceremonies, and by Mon
signors Testoni, Plermottl and Mag
namenti. A half hour before he died,
his holiness tried to lift himself up
and tried to dress himself but he was
so weak he sank back. His hands
and feet were numb. It was at this
moment that It was decided to call all
the pontifical family to his bedside.
The royal guards were sent out to
notify the papal secretary of state
of the pope's condition.
Last night virtually all the cardi
nals resident In Rome were In attend
ance at the Vatican, their arrival at
the pontifical apartment being oc
casioned by solemn reverence by
those present.
After midnight 'the crowd which
had waited many hours around the
courtyard diminished to only a few
monslgnorl and attaches to the pon
tifical court. The Vatican then was
enveloped in deep silence, with the
ponderous dome of St. Peters domi
nating the prevailing gloom. None
was allowed to enter the Vatican, and
the spacious hall became almost de
serted with only an occasional guard
quietly pacing the corridors and stair
cases. Guards at Onter Door.
Guards were stationed at the outer
door to the pontifical apartments on
the top floor and on the inside of the
same door there were two gendarmes.
Then at the entrance of the ante
chamber, at the other end of a short
corridor, was a corporal of the Swiss
guard who permitted none to pass
unless proper credentials were fur
nished. From midnight until 6 o'clock there
was practically no movement through
the apartments and corridors, save
an occasional- visit by Dr. Battistinl.
It was not until the pope actually
passed away that a stir to call the
pontifical family together was made.
The formal announcement of the
pope's passing was the occasion for
a scene of deep emotion All those
present In the ante chamber wept,
and the prelates knelt in prayer.
Shortly afterward Cardinal Gasparri
proceeded with the formal taking
over of the temporary charge of the
affairs of the church. He will be
the nominal head of the church until
a new pope Is elected.
Small Groups lu Square.
Throughout the night small groups
clustered in St. Peter's square.
Everyone leaving the Vatican was
anxiously questioned. Toward 5:30
it was announced that the end was
near, and at a few minutes of 6 the
Swiss guards inside the Vatican could
be seen kneeling. A few minutes
later the door was shut and thus the
pope's death was announced.
The royal . euards then cleared a

space before the gate of the Vatican,
allowing only those connected with
the papal household to pass. Al
though it was still dark, the crowd
began to increase. Toward 7 o'clock
the bells of St. Peter's tolled slowly
the. signal tbat the pontiff had
passed. Masses were celebrated at
various altars In the Vatican.
The first person, outside of the
immediate pontifical circle to be in
formed of the pope's death was Pre
mier Bonomi, who notified the king
and other high dignitaries of state,
as well as to the governors of the
colonies. For the first time in the
history of relations between Rome
and the Vatican, the government In
structed that the flags be half
masted on all government offices in
observance of the pope's death.

who will have it re-set for Benedict's
successor. Then will come the elab
orate preparations for the embalment
of the body and for the three days'
ceremony during which it will lie in
state in SL Peter' chapel before
burial.
Speculation already Is rife concern
ing a successor. Cardinal Gasparri
is among those most prominently
mentioned, althougn the election of a
papal secretary is almost without
precedent.
Cardinals College Divided.
The college of cardinals Is under
stood to be divided into two fairly
equal groups on the pope's successor.
The groups represent those who wish
the next pope to come from outside
Italy and those who think he should
be a native of Italy. The election of
a foreign cardinal, it would seem,
must be eliminated, although certain
members of the sacred college, like
Cardinal Merry del Val, a native of
Spain, do not hide their sympathies
for such an event.
Among the native Italians, Cardinal
Maffi of Piza is the most strongly
supported in Italian centers, but his
advanced modern ideas are likely to
arouse opposition, particularly in the
group headed by Cardinal Merry del
Val. It is considered possible that
because of these two opposing groups
Cardinal Gasparri may be chosen as
a compromise between them.

Apostolic Delegate Announces De

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan. 22. (By

the letter which the apostolic dele

the bishops In the United States to

"Brief as his pontif icatlon was, he

his attitude toward the warring na

anxiety to end the struggle, and his

which would have closed mankind in
their embrace are folded forever, the

"The church in America will realize
that it has lost a father who was ever

consequences, the people of Oregon in the early "Sixties" were
yet made to realize the dire effects of this great struggle in
other ways not the least of which was the delay in the con
summation of plans for a better mode of transportation.
Akin to the Liberty Loan drives with which we of this genera
tion are so familiar, was the circularization of "greenbacks"
by the Federal Government in Civil War days. A Portland
newspaper of September 20, 1864, says :
"We took a look at the "greenbacks" in Ladd & Tilton's
Bank yesterday, and find that Uncle Sam deals in a multi
plicity of accounts, of which the currency is the repre
sentative. The notes with coupons attached are very
interesting. One might not understand their operation at
a glance, but they bear upon their face the direction in
regard to the coupons. The compound notes to which our
direction was particularly directed, run for three years,
and bear interest, which is to be compounded semi-annually,
but payable only upon maturity. On the back of
each note is printed its value for every six months after
the date of its issue. Thus, the one we examined was for
$100 which, at the end of three years, would be worth
$119.70. The notes are engraved and printed in the U. S.
Treasury department, and are beautiful specimens of the
engraver's art."
Thus was Ladd & Tilton Bank privileged to assist the Government in
financing the activities of the North in the Civil Wnr, and this it did
with that same patriotic spirit which it again displayed during the
Liberty Loan drives of recent history.
