Incident.
(By Morning Journal Special Leased Wire.)

Washington. May 21.--A brass at

ing the water and boomeranging back
nearly 200 feet after the firing of IA
naval gun in target practice killed
Mrs. Edith Ayres and Miss Helen Bur-
nett Wood, Red Cross nurses of Chi
cago, who lost their lives yesterday
aboard the American steamship Mon
golia.
Secretary Daniels explained in a
statement tonight that such an acci-
dent never had occurred before and
that ordnance experts are puzzled.
This morning" said the secretary,
81 gave out the distressing statement
that two nurses who were going to
Europe had been accidentally killed
on the steamship Mongolia Sunday
Afternoon. Today the Mongolia re-
t,Uned to New York to bring the bod
les of Mrs. Edith Ayres and Miss Hell
en- Burnett Wood, the two nurses who
were killed, and full particulars were
learned from the officers at the navy
yard. The particulars of the fatal ac-
cident, which is deeply deplored are
thus furnished by the ordnance off
GERS from New York.
How Accident Occurred.
"When about 100 miles to sea in ac-
cordance with the usual procedure
guns were fired to test mounts and
ammunition and to practice the navy
crew in their use. The guns were OF
the six-inch caliber, for which the
shell and powder are loaded separate
ly into the gun. The powder charge
is contained in brass case and there
held in place by a pasteboard wad,
distance pieces and brass mount
| cup that fits closely, thus making o
moisture tight joint in order that the
powder may also give the velocity and
pressure intended. When the gun il
fired this brass cup rs propelled some
distance, sometimes whole and some.
times in pieces, but always in from
of the gun.

In the presence of large >congre-

Church of st. John the Baptist, New
ark, N. j., On September 23, impress
sive ceremonies marked the restora-
tion to the Faith of Very Rev. Theo-
phane Obushkewich who had been an
archpriest in the Russian Orthodox
Church for some years after having
left the Ruthenian rite. In the Rus
sian Church the clergyman was entitl-
ed to wear the mitre, and he had been
the recipient of special honors from
the recently deposed Car Nicholas of
Russia. He returned his mitre to the
Russian Archbishop in New York after
deciding to rejoin the Roman juris-
diction. The former prelate is seven
tY-siy years of age. His return to the
Church in which he originally was or
dained was observed according to the
ritual of sthe Catholic Church, which
requires public recantation. This
was received by the Very Rev. Paul
rector of the local church..

WORK AT FORT SMELLING

According to report just received,
forty thousand letters have been writ
ten and posted at the Knights of Co
lumbus Recreation Camp at Fort
Smelling during the past six weeks.
This means an average of more than
one thousand letters a day written,
for the most part, by the Catholics in
the regular army units stationed there,
sixty per cent of whom, figures show,
belong to the Catholic Church.
The War Recreation Service Bureau,
affiliated with The War Department
Commission of Training Camp Activi-
ties, has been opened in Minneapolis.
1t is in charge of VIM. A Grassland,
it's secretary. In letter to the local
Knights of Columbus committee, Mr..
Grassland offers to place his organiza-
ton in the Twin Cities at the disposal
of the Knights of Columbus for the
entertainment of the men at Fort
Smelling. He offers also to furnish at
least one program week.
Those who are interested in the well
fare of the men at Fort Smelling can
help considerably by sending reading
tter-newspapers, magazines, and
books-to the Knights of Columbus
Recreation Hall at the Fort.
According to the latest report re-
ceived the fund which the Knights of
Columbus are raising for welfare work
has reached the sum, on October II,
of $1,002,0S8.96. One-third of this sum
represents outside collections, and
two hundred thousand is still due on
the two dollar assessment assumed by
the members. 1t is thought that this
assessed amount will be fully paid in
by November /.

A NOVEL CHAIN
NEW BISHOP HAS CHAIN MADE
OF GOLD NUGGETS.


The conservation of Bishop Bunoz,
o. NJ. l., took place at the Pro-
Cathedral of the Holy Rosary in Seat
tie on October 1S, the consecrating
prelate being Most Reverend T. Ca
sey, D. D., Archbishop of Vancouver
and Metropolitan of the province.
Bishop Bunoz will preside over the re-
Gently created see Of Prince Rupert,
Canada.
An interesting feature of the con
secration was that the episcopal
crozier, carried by the Bishop-elect
was the one used by his old friend
the late Bishop .Durieu, which has
been presented to him as a sacred
Oblate relic of one of the provinces
greatest missionaries. The pectoral
cross, which q worn by the Bishop
is the gift of the Catholics and citizens
of Dawson City, and is, perhaps, the
only one of its kind in the Catholic
world, the chain being entirely com
posed of local gold nuggets.

EUTHANASIA AND THE QUACK

that the passing of a law by a legis-
lature removes all moral difficulty, or
that morality is a trifie which should
not stand in the way of expediency
except when the orators OK is gored.
These who oppose euthanasia COM
monty base their argument, first, on
the fact that many patients supposed
by even good diagnosticians to be in
durable, recover health; and, second
ly, that the grant of the power of life
and death to physicians is liable to
grave. abuse. These reasons are sec
ondary and accidental. Whether it is
eXpedient, humane, or impolitic to
kill an incurable patient are almost
irrelevant considerations; the reason
lies deeper than these.
