WELCOMES FLEET
ON PEACE MISSION

At the regular monthly meeting of
the California State Board of Trade,
held on Tuesday, July 8, resolutions
extending a welcome to the fleet of
battleships which, it is understood. is
to be transferred from the Atlantic
to the Pacific ocean, were adopted.
Furthermore it was resolved that the
board look upon the coming of the
fleet as a mission of peace with the
object of promoting peace and bring
ing closer together for their mutual
benefit all countries concerned.
Such a peaceful and instructive use
of the fleet, as the one contemplated,
the board unanimously declared, tends
to the efficiency of the navy and serves
as an object lesson to the people in
the matter of fostering commercial
marine to carry on the deep water
trade Of the United States.

he had been trying to pick out a spot

WILL LEAVE next FRIDAY
FATHER DONAHoE TO GO TO
PORTSMOUTH THAT DAY.
Protestants Join With Catholics In
Expressing Regret at Transfer
Of the Popular Priest.

Rev Father Charles e. Donahoe,
rector of St Joseph's Catholic church,
who recently received notice from
Bishop Van de yyver to assume the
rectorship of st. Paul's Catholic
church at Portsmouth, Va, stated to-
day that he would leave Martinsburg
for the scene of his new labors on
Friday morning next. He will deliver
his farewell Sermon to his congrega-
ton here Sunday. but will conduct
the usual low mass in the church
each morning next week until he de-
parts.
Bidding farewell to the members of
his congregation is proving trying
ordeal to the genial and warm-heart-
ed priest. No more sincere testimony
to the deep affection and esteem in
which he is held by the members of
his flock could be given than that
which has been manifested since The
Evening Journal told of his transfer
to Portsmouth. 1t is a spontaneous
and general regret that speaks elo-
quently of the worth of Father Dona-
hoe and the strong bond between him
and his people.
Professionals are joining with Cath
olics in their expression of sincere re-
greet, and Father Donahoe will be
missed by all with whom he has come
into contact during the years of his
passionate here.
