tain Auguste Cochin, who was in his
thirty-second year, and had hardly re-
covered from previous wounds, fell
fighting at the head of his company in
the battle of the Somme few weeks
ago. The third and only surviving
son, Jean, is captain of the French
submarine Papen. Immediately on
hearing of the sad news the father
left for the front to obtain details of
his sons last moments from his COM
rades.

ISOLATION of st. Stephen, His Emf
nence Cardinal Czernoch, Primate of
Hungary, gave a discourse in which,
among other things, he remarked that
in Turkey there is Catholic popula-
ton of 100000 souls. Before the out
break of the war, French and Italian
missionaries had, so to say, the mon
opoly of the schools in the Ottoman
Empire. But owing to the war, their
stay in Turkey has become impos-
sible. Their work in the schools is
being continued by the clergy of Hun

founded and placed in charge of the

No Priests at obsequies.-Captain
Immelmann, the great German flying
man, who was recently killed, was a
Catholic, but the Catholic clergy did
not pay the last honors of the Church
to his remains at Dresden. The fact
is that after his death it was found
that in his will he had directed that

Owing to the Church's law regarding
cremation, the clergy kept away.
