Pope .Benedict's life hangs in the balance today and tears were expressed at the Vatican at noon that his holiness was in a dying con dition. During the early hours of' this morning, towards 4 a. m., there ! was a sudden change for the worse and the bronchial affection, from which his holiness had been suffer ing for several days, spread to his lungs.. . , The pope's physicians wera In con sultation at the Vatican at an early hour, and the morning bulletin- is sued afterward, indicated an. ex tremely serious condition. Dr. - Bat tistini. stated then that while the condition of his holiness was grave. it was not hopeless. . - - About ir o'clock in the forenoon, . however, the pope's condition be- came aggravated and the administra tion of oxygen was begun. At 11:30 a. m. the eucbarlst was solmenly car ried to him. , Meanwhile, prayers were being said in all the churches and Catholic Institutions of Rome, on behalf of his holiness, and great crowds began to assemble in St. Peter's. Sudden Change for Worse Today's sudden change for the worse in the pontiff's condition seem ed to have come as a great surprise, even to those who had been observ ing him most closely. Last evening he received some strengthening in jections, and the doctors then stated they wera satisfied with his condi tion, expressing hope that danger of an extension of the Inflammation to the lungs had passed and saying that, the crisis seemed to be overcome. One of the most disturbing condi tions that developed early today seemed to be passing away after 10 o'clock this morning as the pontlf: was then able to expectorate slightly. This aroused more hope among tho watchers, but towards 11 o'clock he became worse again and oxygen then was administered. Monslgnor Zamplnl, sacristan of the apostolic palace; Monslgnor Car lo Resplghl, the pontlficial prefect of ceremonies, and Monsognor Mlgoue. the private chamberlain, were at the pope's bedside. There was an air of anxiety and apprehension about the Vatican, where many of the cardinals were -waiting in an antichamber, all the cardinals In Italy having assembled in Rome upon receiving word of the pope's serious illness. Later Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretaray of state telegraphed alt the nunciatures, advising them of the seriousness of the pope's condition.
