One of the very sad deaths recorded
! during the week was that of Theodore
Mast, the young son of Mr.. and Mrs.
| Charles A. Mast, which occurred on
| Wednesday, February 9. at the family
! home, 1917 Adams street. The young
man was but 16 years of age and, with
! his twin brother, Thomas, attended I'm
maculate Conception High school, where
! he was known as oe of the most prom
| ising pupils. Several years of study in
Berlin had given him advantages be-
! yond those enjoyed by many boys of
! his age, and keen intellect and re-
! tentive memory had equipped him to
| profit to the fullest extent by those ad-
vantages. Death resulted from typhoid
| fever after an illness of but five days.
| Theo9ore Mast belonged to Immaculate
| ConceAtion branch, Holy Name society,
| the members of which assembled at the
! home of deceased Thursday evening and
piously recited the Rosary. At the
| funeral, which was held on Friday from
| Logan avenue chapel, the Holy Name
society attended in a body. High
| requiem mass was celebrated by Rev.
| Father McMenamin, who likewise
preached an eloquent and touching SER
mon. The pallbearers We're chosen from
among the schoolmates of the dead boy.
Burial was in Mount Olivet cemetery.
Besides the stricken parents, Theodore
Mast is survived by two sisters, Misses
frankie and Helen Mast, and three
brothers, Dr. Edward Mast, William
Mast and Thomas Mast, twin brother
of deceased. The sympathy of the
community is with the family in this
affliction-the blow falls particularly
heavy upon Mrs. Mast, who but two
days previous to the passing away of
her son, had seen her mothers eyes
close in death.

-s-a-e-
ntinople.-Shefket Pasha, the
new minister of war, intends to thor
oughly reorganize the Turkish army,
and the navy a. 80 is to be put on a
sound fighting basis. German ideas
will prevail in the army and English
in the navy. The old days of graft
when ammunition and supplies were
regarded as personal perquisites of
commanding officers and the very en-
gines Of warships were sold by their
officers. is to be ended. Shefket Pasha,
in an interview, said: Surprise is ex-
pressed that the Turkish army has
adopted German methods and has en-
ployed German officers. How could it
be otherwise, when General Won Moltke
came to Turkey, fully eighty years ago,
and himself built the nucleus of the
present Turkish army, which you may
see from this antedated the reorgani-
zation of the present-day army of
France. And then, it seems to me that
in our navy English regulations are in
effect which were introduced long ago
by English officers. In fact, the COM
mander-in- chief of our fleet is an Eng
lishman. and he plans shortly to bring
other officers from his native land"
