FOR POPE PIUS
Prayers Offered In Hongkong Churches
It is learned from Rome that orders have been issued to the Swiss Guards, gendarmes and police of the Vatican City to stand by for the signal to close all doors of the Vatican and allow nobody to enter or leave without special authority. This is the usual procedure on the death of a Pope and the warning reveals the anxiety felt for the health of the 80-year-old Pontiff, Pius XI.
His Holiness was unable to attend the service at the Vatican to-day, and has cancelled all engagements inde- finitely.
His Holiness is stated to have full lucidity of mind, and to have signed several documents on Saturday.
Prayers were offered in all Hongkong churches yes- terday, but no special services were held.
The real nature of the Pope's ill-; ness is the formation of clots of blood round the knee, due to imperfect cir- culation.
The dunger is that if the clots do, The condition of the health of Pope Pius has given rise to much not dissolve, one may reach the heart, results. The auricly in 2he Vatican and yester day prayers for His Holiness were with probably fatal naid throughout, the world,"
