PRIEST WHO SPENT LIFE AMONG
r. LEPERS SUccUMBS TO
CANCER,

The death is reported from Yoke.
hama, Japan, of Father F. x. Bertrand,
who was in literal truth another Fa,
ther Damien. For twenty-eight years
he lived with the lepers at Gotemba,
and tended them in their physical and
spiritual extremity, dying at his post
not from leprosy, but from disease
even more painful, if less horrible. His
Bishop writes of him: -.....
:. "He lived with them and nursed
them as a woman would her first born.
His servant boy was leper, his cook
and all that had the care of his house
we're lepers. I have said Mass in the
chapel. What an atmosphere! Yet
this good man with the serious face
and the smiling eyes, lived with them
for twenty-eight years, filled with the
single thought of caring for these af-
dreadful disease, but he died mar.
tyr to horrible cancer of the stomach,
which he bore for more than two years
uncomplainingly. His courage and
submission to the will of God were
sublime. He was a model for us all
and the missionaries will miss his
wise counsel greatly. Now he has
earned his well-deserved reward.
This intimate and cordial tribute
will, we are sure, touch all hearts and
yield a harvest of prayers for the re-
pose of the soul of this true apostle.

Several miles behind the front, yet
near enough to it so that its pro-
ducts can be transported to the
trenches with little difficulty, lies the

Germans estimate that they have

day is turning out from 1900 to 3d.
600 marks worth of furniture a
month.
The mill originally was purely a saw
mill, but departments have been add
ed in which stoves are being made for
the trench shelters at the front, and.
in which many metal parts are mould
ed for the manifold needs or the
fighting men a few. miles away.
Several score of soldiers carpen-

been assigned to the Hindenburg
mill, and are daily, turning out by the.
wholesale window sashes, chairs,
bookcases, desks, tables and other
things for the rooms where the
