Men who have been in closest touch
with every move of the world war to
date are beginning to forecast that
the next five months will bring an
unparalleled burst OF battle. attended
by the worst bloodshed in the worlds
history.
The immense waste OF human life
and materials before Verdun. greater
than that which shocked the world
at Liege and Namur, has demon

war goes on TO the bitter end no
phase OF history ancient, medieval or
modern will compare with the
slaughter One military critic said
today:
"The almost impregnable charac-

front. which have been building for
eighteen months, make Il suicide for

and cannon fire which protects the

BISHOP 0RTYNSKY
DIES Of Pneumonia
Head OF Ruthenian-Greek
Church in U. S. SuccumbS
at Philadelphia Home
FUNERAL MASS
ON NEXT THURSDAY

The funeral of the Rt. Rev. Softer
Stephen Ortynsky, Ruthenian-Greek
Catholic Bishop for the United States
who died Friday afternoon at his
home, No. SIG North Franklin street.
Philadelphia, will take place next
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock from
the Cathedral. No. S14 North Franklin
street Death was caused by pneu-
monia. He had only been i'll since
last Monday. He was 80 years old.
Bishop Ortynsky preached last Sun
DAY week and at that time apparently
was IN good health. He contracted a
cold while out in the storm Monday
and developed pneumonia. He was re-
ported TO be slightly improved on
Thursday. He died after a relapse
Friday.
The Bishop was the first in this
country to occupy the important Office
in which he was appointed by Pope
Plus X in 1907. Before his elevation
to the episcopate, he was a monk OF
the Order of st. Basil. He was born
at Ortynice. Galicia, Austria. Jonuary
20, 1866. He studied at the University
OF Cracow, where he received the de-
gree of doctor Of theology. He took
final VOWS and became a professed
monk January 1. 1899 He was or
dained a priest on July IS, 1891.
In 1901, he was made hegumen
(prior) of the Monastery Of St. Paul
the Apostle at Machalowks, near
Dwinasxka in Galicia. He continued
to occupy this post until March, 1907
when he was appointed head Of the
Ruthenian rite Catholics of the Uni
ted. States. His conservation took
place in Austria. May 12. 1907. and he
came to this country the following
September.
Bishop Ortynsky had a stormy ca
reer while in this country. principally
because of the dissensions in different
congregations of his countrymen over
the control of church property. He
charged that the chief difficulties in
the churches under his care were
fomented by agents of the Russian
Government. He constantly urged
Lithuanians under his ecclesiastical
authority to become American citi-
zens.
