WAR'S OUTBREAK
CAUSED FINAL
Late Pope's Grief Over Slander ef
Innocents Hastened End, Declares
Physician First Formal Nfeettftf
of Cardinals to Arranoe fer Elec-
tion of Successor.
ItOMK, Aug. 21. Home mourned
deoply today tho death of Popo Plus
X, but tho sorrow did not prevent
the actlvo furtherance of preparation
for tho holding of n conclave of tho
Sacred Collcgo of cardinals fo.r tho
election of a now head of tho church.
Thero was much speculation as to
tho probable outcomo of the election,
but tho view appeared to prevail that
owing to tho divided stato of Europe
Just now, it was almost certain that
an Italian would bo chosen, as the
Italian cardlnnls form the strongest
section of tho Sacred College ,
As a preliminary to the meeting of
the cardinals, tho papal secretary of
state, Cardinal Merry del Val gave up
his office In accord with custom M
all tho other high officials ot tho
Vatican did likewise.
Interview With Ittylrhi
The late Pope's physlclaH, Dr.
Marchlafava, declare la aa iBtervlew
that his patient suffered mueh phy
sically and mentally through the out
break ot war In Europe.
The pope's pbysleal streagtRi Dr.
Marchlafava continues, bad overcame
other serious physical crisis, but Hu
collapsed when to the Illness of hla
body was added his' mental dlstrora
over tho horrors of tho war. The
doctor docs not say tho pontiff
death was induced by his anguish,
but ho does dcclaro ho probably would
have resisted longer had ho not been
subject to this mental suffering.
When tho doctor Insisted that
his health was precious to the world
and that he should be calm, the popo
replied:
"How can I bo tranquil when mil
lions ot men are about to diet I
should havo averted this war, but I
could not. If I, who have the high
est ministry ot peace, do not protect
tho safety of so many young lives
who will do sot"
To tho continued urgent demands
ot his doctors, that he bo tranquil,
the pontiff answered:
Detail or lllncs
"I cannot help It: I suffer for all
thoso who will dlo on tho field of
battle."
"Flvo times last year, the Popo
suffered from bronchial catarrh with
affected lungs and only onco was ha
IU with real gout.
"This Illness which was serious
from tho beginning, commenced on
Sunday. Tho Popo suffered In try
ing to conceal It and he refused tu
cat."
Dr. Marchlafava described all the
effurts mado to lnducu tho Popo to
stay Iu bed ami net to work and to
allow himself to bo visited by u doc
tor. Until Monday, howovcr, tlm
genoral condition ot tho Popo was
not grave.
their houses were falling uml liuni-
ui;
"Fifteen women who were heated
on a pile of lumber were all killed
hy tlio explosion of a single Hindi,
Tlio bombardment coiiliiiueil for two
