vERDps TRUE FRIEND

Grateful as the world is to the COM
poser Verdi, there is much occasion
for approaching his loyal friend, Bar.
tolomeo Merelli, the impressario of
the theater of La Scala. He it was
who sent for the then youthful mu.
sician and engaged his services as
composer. When Verdi saddened by
the death of his two children and soon
afterward by that of his wife, grew
Respondent and determined to write
no more, Merrill promised to stage
any opera he would write should he
change his mind and, finally meeting
him one night by accident, Merelli per
suaded Verdi to supply the music for
"Nabuco," which was afterwards pro.
duced with great success, this pre-
sentation being the actual beginning
of Verdi's career. G. H.K.

and entreated to be affiliated to the
Order of Mercy. Although as a gen.
eral rule, Mother M. Catherine Nc
Auley would not consent to anything
of the kind, yet she rightly regarded
this as case altogether exceptional,
and with the full appreciation of the
Bishop and the Community, she re-
ceived the two dear old Aspirants,
whom she regarded as two old saints,
for whose sake blessings would be
showered on the New Foundation.
Mother McAuley treated them with
the greatest respect, raising them to
the rank of Choir Sisters, and giving
them the first place in the future Com
munity.
When the Sisters of Mercy came,
they found the schools in connection
with the Board of Education, this con-
nection having been made by the
Poor Glare Nuns on the LIST of April,
1888
The spot now used as the convent
cemetery drumming at the near side of
the ruined walD, was once the sane
tuary of the old Dominican Church of
st. Saviour's.
1t is a glorious privilege that the
ashes of the sanity and heroic Sisters
of Mercy, who have labored so ZEAL
ously during the last seventy.five
years lie mingled with those of the
great personages before mentioned.
May they rest in peace.

Cardinal Gibbons, at the request of
the archbishops of the United States,

which for some time have prevailed in
Mexico, and which apparently become
more intolerable with each attempt to
remedy them, are the source. of deep.

while the efforts of a people to re.
move the evils from which they suffer
and to secure the blessings of a good
government can be appreciated
these aims cannot be furthered BY q

requisite of order and justice are dis.

President Wilson Rewards Chaplain
b Doherty.
Reverend Francis Brooks Doherty
of the Third United States cavalry, at
!, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, owing to
his splendid record and fine endorse
ments, has been promoted by Presi>
dent Wilson to be a major in the
Chaplain corps of the United States
army.
AZ There is only one other major
among the sixteen Catholic chaplains
in the army, namely, Rev. Timothy
p. O'Keefe, recently transferred to
the Fifteenth cavalry, stationed at
Fort Meyer, Va.
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
cavalry, came directly under my OBJ
servation in the field in operations
against hostile Moros during the period

THE PISTOL AT ENGLAND'S
HEART.
BY Martin Marshall in Harper's
Weekly.

Weekly.
That Napoleon recognized the STRAIT
egic Importance of Antwerp in any
campaign directed against England, is
shown by his much quoted Statement
that Antwerp was pistol pointed at
England. The Importance of this city
to the Germans is minimized by the
neutrality of Holland and the fact that
the river Scheldt, on which Antwerp
is situated, finds it's way to the sea
through Dutch territory. So long as
Germany respects the neutrality of
Holland, she will be unable to use Ant
werp as a naval base against Eng
land, and Hollands neutrality has been
jealousy guarded. Undoubtedly Ger
many is receiving conditional contra
band of war through Hollands ports,
which would be impossible were the
Dutch to become combatants on either
side.
The determination of the Kaiser to
invade England has, however, been
Indicated in his desperate attempts to
capture the French ports on the North
Sea and the English Channel. Imme-
diately after the fall of Antwerp, Ger
man forces entered Ostend and were
massed for an advance along the
French coast, their detectives being
the ports of Dunkirk, Calais and Bou-
logne. From the middle until the end
of October this conflict ragged with the
greatest fury. Germany hurled hum
dreds of thousands of men against, the
Allied armies, and with varying sue
cess, but at the end of October the ad-
vantage seemed to be with the Allies
and it became very doubtful if the
Germans would be able to seize the
coveted cities from which they un-
doubtedly planned to launch a thun-
derbolt against Great Britain. Brit
aims geographical security, the Sax
on "Staats-Anzeiger" recently pub
ished statement by General Baron
Won Ardenne of the German army,
in which he outlined possible cam
paign against Great Britain, contingent
upon the German occupancy of Calais.
Briefly, it was planned to capture this
port, defend it with artillery having a
range of fourteen miles and, under the
cover of these tremendous guns to lay
mines which would make at least half
the width of the Channel unnavigable
for British vessels Between Calais
and Dover the Channel is only about
twenty-five miles wide and the Ger
mans are optimistic enough to believe
that they would be able to mine the
entire distance, thus destroying Great
Britain's control of the sea by prevent
ing her navy from passing through the
Channel. Once this was accomplished,
the torpedo and submarine divisions
OF the German navy would be brought
into play.
1t might be impossible to land troops
cover of these tremendous guns, to lay
their way into the harbors and destroy
shipping, while the Zeppelins rain ex-
plosives on London and other cities.
1t might be possible even to destroy
forts and railroad terminals, and so
inflict military damage of great ex-
tent on the British. The activities of
the German aviation corns arc natural
ly kept as secret as possible, but the
persistence of rumors to the effect
that large fleet of Zeppelins is being
assembled in Western Germany and in
Belgium justifies the uneasiness, If not
positive terror, that prevails through.
out England.
