HUNGRY BOYS RE-
FUSE TO EAT HAM
Catholics of Sixty-ninth New York OBJ
ject to Friday Menu-Find Out From
Chaplain They Have Right to Eat
Friday Meat.
(From the N. Y. Sum-


"Sixty-ninth regiment; good appe-
tites from drilling all day; all Irish;
dote on boiled ham and cabbage
that, or words and thoughts to that
effect, yesterday entered the minds of
the directing spirits of the Yankee
Catering company, a feeding firm
which few days ago secured the con-
tract to feed the husky lads Of the
Sixty-ninth three times a day at their
armory in Lexington avenue.
Wherefore after the Sixty-ninth had
had a Yankee Catering company
breakfast yesterday morning of or
anges, boiled eggs and coffee and had
departed toward the East river water
front for a long forenoon of close Or
der field drill the catering folk started
right in to mix crates of hams and
mountains of cabbages and set the
mess to boiling against the return of
the regiment for midday dinner.
Charge the Table.
And at noon back came the Sixty
ninth, biting pieces out of their bay
onets in an effort to stife a bit of
their hunger and finally breaking into
a double quick as the cooking smells
that permeated the general neighbor-
hood of Lexington avenue and Twenty
fifth street eased themselves toward
the oncoming regiment. And the
Yankee Catering company, justly
proud Of its acumen in thinking of
boiled ham and cabbage for regiment
that runs wholly to Celtic strains,
stood around shaking hands with it.
self as a bugler sounded mess call.
Of the armory catapulted the Sixty
ninth toward the groaning tables, and
heaven help the hindmost. In serried
ranks the ham was assembled. Also
the cabbage, which had been boiled
with the ham. And amid happy roar
that suggested the zoo at feeding time
the Sixty-ninth, more than 1000 strong,
made flying leap at the tables.
BE heavens, tits Friday!"
Who it was that hollered forth these
fateful words just as the Sixty-ninth
was about to tear the ham bone from
bone never will be known, for in the
subsequent excitement no one remem'
bered a detail SO unimportant. But
up and down the tables flashed the
awful news and instant silence sud
denly turned a faucet which had in
stantly shut of Niagara.
Excruciating Agony.
And then throughout dinner hour
that seemed to stretch out into q life
time of excruciating agony all the reg
iment except some Of the hardened
veterans of the Mexican border serv
ice gazed in fixed fashion upon the
ham and cabbage which posed invit
ingly before each man. They couldn't
even eat the cabbage, because that had
been cooked with the ham, and there
fore also was placed in the forbidden
fruit class by the conscientious rookie
recruits Of the command, the rockies
numbering more than 600 heartily
hungry youngsters. ...

An Appeal From "somewhere In
France"
His Eminence Cardinal Farley has
received the following letter from Rev.
John j. Brady of the New York diocese
who was the first Catholic chaplain to
go with the United States troops to
France.
This letter, which will appeal to all,
says in part as follows:
Somewhere in France, July 2, 1917.
Cardinal Farley.
Your Eminence:
might ask you to speak a word
to some of those people who are in
terested in the soldiers at the front,
to help the only Catholic priest with
our expeditionary forces?
II have been transferred from the
navy to go to the trenches with the
marines. 1 am now in France and
find that so far in this force of twenty
thousand men, I am the only Catholic
priest.
GAS you know everything here is
more expensive than ordinary and the
heavy use, the wear and tear of this
form of life, makes everything very
shOrt-lived. If I am to be in any way
effective l must have great deal of
assistance. One thing that is of prime
necessity is a machine to take me
over the roads. Miles and miles of
territory must be covered. A large
tent is needed and stacks of reading
matter of all kinds are necessary. Do
you know of anyone that would be
willing to help out? I am not asking
necessary.
II hope this does not appear to be
asking too much. I know you want
the work done we'll by your priest who
is in the field.
"This is not a Mexican expedition
but an expedition where a suit OF
clothes lasts only few weeks and a
pair of shoes often less. I am doing
the best can with the money I have
but it seems pitifully small compared
with what is needed. If few prom
inent men could be interested I an
sure they would not mind meeting ex
penses that are for the good both Of
Almighty God and our beloved coun
try"
Any person wishing to help this
worthy cause may send donations tt

HI DANGER OF WAR

Unlimited debate, a rule in the
greatest dellberative body in the
world" has prevented enactment
of a measure giving to the presi-
dent power to arm American mer-
chant ships and use "otter instru-
mentalitieso to safeguard American
lives and property on the high seas.
Besides this it has defeated the
will of the people in a crisis that
has developed into one of the most
difficult situations ever faced by
America. 1t has forced a huge
majority In congress. representing
the viii Of the people, to bow to an
insignificant minority whose pur-
pose is not clear to the average
American.
The public mind has Seen set
against GerI1iany's Vaccinations
and the defeat of the president in
this instanse will only intensity a
feeling Of resentment, Therefore,
if their efforts were intended to les
sens.he possibility Of actual war,
they have been in vain SO far as
public opinion is concerned; for, as
the psychologists say, it is public
opinion--mob spirit they call it
that brings war faster THANH it would
come if decision were left to men
responsible.
Again, if their object we're mere
y the calling Of an extra session Of
congress the deal with international
affairs, the responsibility Of war
again seems greater because it IS
reasonable to assume that congress
would declare war before the pres
lfdent. Why? Because the presi-

entire burden Of responsibility,

burden would be distributed among
