In Europe Some of Whom Give
Up Their Lives at Post of
Duty in Battle.


PARIS May ga campaign by
the extreme anti-clerical elements Of
the Radical and Socialist parties
against the presence OF priests at the
battle fronts in daily contrast with
soldiers has brought sharply into pub.
lie notice work which these priests
have done and are doing at the front.
1t required special Intervention
to produce for priests even the priv
ilege" of going to the front. Prior
to May. 1913. no chaplains were p-o-
vided for the army. The minister of
war at that time provided in de-
gree that In case of war two Catholic
priests, a Protestant pastor and a
Rabbi should be attached to earh
group of observation-disclosures OF an arm,
corps. and two Catholic chaplains Il,

bearers.
Many Accompany Army.
Thus about 100 priests and half as
many Protestants and Israelites were
authorized to accompany tie army.
When war began, Count Albert /"
Nun. since deceased. obtained from
the minister Of war authorize ton for
priests to enlist as chaplains with the
approval OF their bishops up to the
number of $50 In addition. Count
Paul Pourtles obtained the sa.De f.v-
or for eighty moro Protestant pastors,
while sixteen additional Rabtis we",
named.
The number Of priests VINO have
given their lives on the field of bat
tie has not yet been counted. for be-
sides the chaplains there are several
thousand priests incorporated in the
auxiliary services. or who volun-
teered for active service. A great
many deaths. however. have been re-
ported among the chaplains under
heroic circumstances. The Rabbi.
Abraham Bloch, was fatally wound
ed at Saint-Die by fragment OF u
shell at the moment when he tended

had taken him for Catholic priest.
The Able villier. chaplain of the civil
hospital OF Arras, was killed by a

Bishop Ruch. as chaplain Of sec

follows: Charles Ruch, bishop, ef-
faced himself in spite OF his eminent
dignity and gave proofs in a modest
post OF untiring activity and devotion,

For the chaplain as we'll as for the
combatant. heroism is the small
change Of every day existence at the
front. His place Is whever there is
lighting. He often falls under the
shells and bullets. and frequently
reaps the same reward for gallant
conduct as that OF the fighting SOL
der. The Able 'Henrocuue, simply
priest at the beginning Of the war. Is
now a knight of the legion of honor.
He lifted men as they fell under a

carried them to shelter. He was
wounded in the head and arm by a

COLLECTOR
'' RIVERS Mcneil
Notifies Motor Boat Owners Of
Chicago of the Laws They
Must Obey.

So much trouble was experienced
last year with persons who did not
understand the motor boat laws and
who. when arrested for violation, said
they did not know where they could
get copies Of the laws, that Rivers
McNeill, collector Of customs, has in.
stituted q plan to give every motor.
boat owner q chance to get the laws
this year.
Mr.. Mcneil is sending to the post.
master Of every town along the iii.
nois river and the Mississippi river
to the southern boundary Of the state
letters asking them to supply motor
boat owners with copies Of the act
which he will send to the post Offices.
Last season LOO boats In the riv.
ers we're boarded by the crews Of the
United States coast guard boats pa
trolling the rivers to enforce the law"
said Mr.. Mcneil. II should much
prefer to supply motor boat owners
with copies Of the regulations and the
pilot rules and thus prevent viola.
lions rather than than impose pen.

where It was committed through ig.
norance Of the law"
