INDISPOSITION OF THE POPE
Precautions Taken At Vatican City “A DIFFICULT PATIENT” (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.) (Received November 13, 8.5 p.m.) LONDON, November 12. The Rome correspondent of the British United Press is reliably informed that the Vatican authorities have instructed the police to be prepared to close the Vatican gates at a given signal. It is believed that the Pope is suffering from Bright’s disease or dropsy, as one of his legs is slightly swollen. He is also suffering from kidney trouble, yet continues his routine and refuses to curtail his audiences. His medical advisers find the Pope a difficult patient, as he refuses to undergo a thorough examination.
