BURN PRIESTS IN ARMENIA
TURKS MURDER MANY CATHOLIC
CLERGYMEN, WRITES MOST
REV. ARCHBISHOP KoYoUNIAN.

That the Catholic clergy in Arme
mia have suffered equally with the
native Armenian is shown in a letter
received by the Rev. M. Mighirian, an
Armenian Catholic pastor of New
York City, from Archbishop Peter
Koyounian, who wrote from Rome
Indeed, the massacres in Armenia
seem incredible, but they are true
he says. What the people know is
inconceivable, but the facts are much
more terrible. The barbarous Turks
do not permit the real facts to be
known.
Archbishop Maloyan of Mardine in
Mesopotanlia. was killed and Rt Rev.
Joseph Melchisetekion, Bishop of
Erzeroum, met the same cruel end
Others who were murdered were Rt
Rev. James Tapoosian, Bishop of Van;
Most Rev. Leo Kachegian, Archbishop
of SiYas; Rt. Rev. Stephen Israelian,
Bishop of Karput; Rt. Rev. Andrew
Chelebian, Bishop of Diarbekir; Rt.
Rev. Anthony Bahabanian, Bishop of
Caesarea, and also probably the
Bishop of Meditene and the Arch
bishop of Marach, who once visited
New York.
This is true, and in these dioceses
no Armenians are left. In general, all
our dioceses are ruined, except per-
haps that of Brusa. In Diarbekir the
Turks poured petroleum on three
Bishops, and many other Christians
were burned in the public place.
They also burned a venerable Bishop
in Caesarea, and elsewhere they hung
two other Bishops" J"

LEADERS DEAD
FATHER SALVANY AND Mr.. PI-
DIAL WERE PROMINENT IN LIT
ERARY AND PUBLIC LIFE FOR
MANY YEARS.

Death has been busy in Spain re-
Gently, and has gathered in many
prominent Catholics, whose loss will
be sorely felt. The most notable
figure among them is that of the great
Catholic sociologist, publicist and pro-
pagandist, Rev. DR.. Sarda y Salvany.
For fifty years he has been perhaps
the foremost figure in Catholic contro-
versy in the Peninsula. In the stormy
revolutionary days of 1868-70, and
later during the struggles between
Carlism and the Alfonsist Liberal
dynasty, his name was battle-cry
and a challenge, and his books and
pamphlets were the subject of con-
stant polemic and debate.
AS young priest he started, encour-
aged by the success of his first PAM
phlets-actually founded-a printing
press and publishing house, which was
entirely occupied with the publication
of his voluminous writings and his
magazine, the Popular Review" His
works were always written in clear,
crisp, homely style with flavor of
genuine humor-an ideal style for
popular propaganda-and they had as
wide a circulation in the Latin-Ameri-
can countries as in Spain. In
fact, he came to be known finally as
the popular Balmes, the highest COM
pHment that could be paid him. He
received many autograph letters from
Plus TX, Leo XIII, Plus X, and Bene-
dict XIV, by all of whom he was held
in the highest esteem. OF late years,
he had turned his fine home into an
asylum for old and helpless people,
and here he lived as chaplain to his
guests.
Another prominent figure snatched
away by death is Juan Menendez Pi-
dal, editor of the Review of Libraries
and Archives" and head of the Corps
os Spanish Archivists, who, despite his
numerous occupations, found time to
collaborate in the Catholic Universe"
of Madrid and other Catholic periodi-
Gals, and for long time was editor of
the catholic Union" He was as de-
voted a student as he was a Catholic,
and long list of learned works on
historical and antiquarian subjects do
credit to his name.

FATHER DEMPsEY'S CHARITIES
RECORD OF A YEARS WORK
AMONG THE "DoWN AND OUTS"
IN ST. LOUIS.

Reverend Timothy Dempsey, priest,
social worker, strike-arbiter, and friend
of the poor and homeless, gave free
lodging to 6,248 men at his hotel for
workingmen in ST. Louis, Mo-, during
1915, according to his report which
has just been made public. In addi-
tion, the hotel received $16,585.35 dur
ing the year for ''ten cent beds" and
nickel meals
More than 100000 men, since scat
tered to all parts of this country and
others, have been guests of Father
Dempsey, for stopping at his hotel
means being his personal guest.
In nine years, Father Dempsey has
given free lodging to 88,562 men and
has furnished 10O,613 free meals. En-
ployment was obtained for 6,9S1 guests
in those nine years, fifty-nine were
sent to hospitals for free treatment
and the bodies of twenty who died at
the hotel were buried--not in the pau
pers' field, but in The Exiles' Rest
of Calvary cemetery.

lein. The banquet was given by a
few gentlemen of Chicago who are
interested in the Society; and for the
sole purpose of having the Archbishop
meet the city's leading business and
professional men-but chiefly the en-
ployers of labor. Because of their
knowledge of the ATchbishop's plans
for social and charitable work, these
gentlemen thought it best for the city,
to put into immediate touch one who
had both the power and will to CO.
operate with employers and other
leaders for the benefit for their en-
ployes, and the employers and leaders
themselves. The banquet seemed to
be the quickest and the best way to
carry out the idea. The Society's
name was used only because the
donors, who are mostly life members,
SO desired; and the officials of the
Society gladly acquiesed and took
charge of the banquet arrangements
with pleasure. These same gentle
men are, themselves, large employers
of labor, and the most charitable and
generous of men. 1t has been my
pleasure to know this; for | have been,
for years, a distributor of their secret
charities. Only the day after the
banquet, | was called upon by one of
these men to investigate an anti
tuberculosis society, with Instructions
to extend help generously, if l found
that it was needed. Another of these
same men is the chief support of one
of the greatest charities in this city.
The banquet did not cost $500 a
plate, nor one-third of that amount.
The chief (seeming) expense was for
the souvenirs, because they were hand
Illuminated; but the principal part of
that work was done, under the direc-
tion of an artist, by the Sisters of
Nazareth Academy, LaGrange, Illinois;
and it was done free of charge as
labor of love.

operated by spending every penny it
received on the service, and is in no
way to blame for the mishap. The
decorators, the printers, the painters,
and every one else connected with the
banquet did likewise, without being
asked. The Paulist Choristers were
there one hundred and twenty-five
strong, and would not take a penny
for their services. 1t is rather odd,
to say the least, that cook would
object to what gives him his liyeli-
hood. Crones' act did more to in
jure his fellow-chefs and walters than
any one else. He did service to
the Catholic Church, by calling the
attention of public men to the danger
of granting unbridled license to
calumny and abuse of public agencies
for good. 1t is strange too that the
attempted plot was aimed at the
particular church which is the chief
factor in Chicago's charitable and
humanitarian work. but the plot
might have easily have been aimed at
any religious organization. AS many
non-C Catholics as Catholics would have
been killed had the poisoner sue
ceeded.

The Under-Secretary of State for
Military Health has called my atten-

treatment do not always enjoy every
facility for the practice of their re-

hours of service on Sundays, so that
soldiers fit and desiring to attend shall
have every facility to go freely to the
