In the choir were Misses Maggie Gum mings, Mary Waters and Lizzie O'Con- nor, and Messrs. John Lynch and Will liam Casey. Their rendition at the offertory of "Verni Jesus" was particu- larly affecting. G
 At the conclusion of the mass, Rev. Father 1eddy spoke words full Of comfort and sympathy. He took for his text Be ye also ready, for ye know not the hour when the Son of Man com eth!'

Explaining the General Apathy

Instead OF the elation and confidence which
naturally follow a successful war, the present
temper of the American people is one OF
doubt and bewilderment. More than that,
there is feeling Of indignation against the
official leaders who are not the natural
leaders of the people, of indignation for their
incompetency in war, of indignation for their
helplessness in the face of victorious peace.
This is the explanation of the general apathy
of which the true description would be gen.
eral disgust.-New York Times.
