leather washer from the inside of the

In rewarding Father Doherty, Presi-
dent Wilson has given pleasure to
hosts of friends of this gallant priest
throughout the United States and
even beyond the seas, without regard
to creed at all.
It has often been said of him that
"he loves the army and the army loves
him." and it is hoped that when he
reaches the age for retirement he may
resume his old missionary labors
among the soldiers of the United
States army, giving missions at the
various military posts.
Major General Leonard Wood, when
chief of staff, recommended Father
Doherty for the promotion in the fol-
lowing words:
chaplain Francis B. Doherty, Third
