the first of the week had just returned
from France where he had been attend
ing the Catholic congress as represent
ative from Kansas. He was in Paris
when the war broke out and could not
get away until October. Was in that
city when the Germans came so close TO
it. After the battle of the Marne when
the Germans were defeated the citizens
of Paris went out to burn and bury the
dead. The battlefield was nearly fifty
miles long and strewn all the way with
dead bodies of men and horses. He had
to go to Switzerland before he could get
money to come home on. Swiss troops
were stationed all along the border in
large bodies TO resist German invasion.
They feared the same fate as Belgium.
