mer blessed st. Bernard's Home for
Workingmen.
For some time past Catholic lay
men of the South Side have recog-
.nized the need for clean place,
where laboring men might have board
and lodging apart from saloons and
evil associations. Last winter, a
movement was started in this direc-
tion under the leadership of Rev.
Joseph P. Hurt of st. Patrick S
Church Through the instrumentality
of the archbishop, Father Foley, the
st. Vincent de Paul Society, Mrs.
Robert Johnston, and others, the
home chapel has been tastefu1ly fur
nished, and books and beds provided
for the library and sleeping rooms
Upon a modest. scale ST. Bernard S

REGULAR WEEKLY COMMUNE
cANT-HE WAS READY TO AN
SWER THE MASTERS CALL
LAST ACT BEFORE HIS DEATH
WAS TO GO TO CONFESSION
AND COMMUNION.

Guynemer, the noted airman who
was killed a few weeks ago, was a
good Catholic. The cure of st. Pierre
Caillot, Montmartre, gives some recol-
lections of the young hero in La Croix.
A young officer, delicate, elegant
and discreet, used to come often to
the church. At first no one noticed
him, then the vicaires, the employees,
and little by little the parishioners
began to remark among all the other
many officers who frequented the
church, this young man with the
strange eyes, who at each appearance
had one or more decorations on his
aviator's dolman.
! The wife of general was the first
to recognize him and the whisper
went round, 1T is Guynemer.. But
anxious not to disturb him at his
prayers, no one appeared to notice
him, and he did not know he was OBJ
served. He came simply and regu
slarly to confession, as an old pupil
of ST. Stanislaus and a good Chris
ltian, for he wished always to be ready
for his Masters call. He would arrive
sometimes in gale of wind, hurried
with his watch in his hand, and IL his
spiritual father was not there he
would seek another and would say
apologetically. Excuse me, Father

To Inspect Army Camps
REV. LEWIS J. o'HERN, HEAD OF
UNITED STATES CATHOLIC
CHAPLAIN BUREAU, WILL VISIT
MILITARY POSTS.

Rev. Lewis J. O'Hern, C. S. p, who
represents the hierarchy in the ap-
pointment of chaplains to the army
and navy, has left Washington on a
tour OF inspection of all cantonments
and encampments in the United
States, to inquire whether there are
sufficient number of priests in each
camp and facilities for conducting di-
vine service. It is pointed out that
through the enlargements of the regi-
ments, the number of commissioned
chaplains has been greatly reduced,
the proportion now being one to every
$500 men, and this reduction makes
a great scarcity of priests. Already
the Catholic Church authorities have
placed twenty-five supplementary
chaplains in the various camps, who
live in the K. of c.. buildings and
whose salaries are paid by that or
ganization. The status of these
priests will correspond to that of the
religious secretaries working in large
numbers in all camps under the aus
pices of the Y. M. c.. A.
Father O'Hern is undertaking this
tour that he might have first-hand in
formation concerning the spiritual
welfare of the Catholic soldiers in
both armies.

Famous Bollandist Dead
REV. FATHER VAN oRTRoY
PASSED AWAY AT BRUS-
Sells.

From Belgium comes the news of
the death of the Rev. Father Van Or
troy, Jesuit and Bollandist, who has
passed away at Brussels in the sixty
fourth year of his age, after 49 years
of religious life He belonged to that
corps elite," which forms the Bol-
landists in the bosom of the Society
of Jesus. These religious consecrate
themselves entire to the study of his
torical sciences, bringing to them the
most vigorous methods of modern
criticism. They are masters in OBJ
scure work. The learned of two
worlds delight to visit, on their pas
sage through Brussels, the laboratory
of the Boulevard st. Michel. Despite
the fact that they are engaged in the
research of details, the study of OBJ
scure language and sciences, and for
ever live the life of the past, Father
Van Ortroy, like all of the. Bolland-
lists, had a wonderful sense of human
realities, and a perfect comprehension
of the tendencies and needs of the
day.

AVIATOR A DEVOTED CATHOLIC

can you hear me, please. | must be
at Rheims in half an hour" Often
he would slip note into the priests
hand and say, 1T is for your refug-
ees," or your wounded soldiers, ask
them to pray for me- One day he
gave thus two hundred francs.
He returned to the church the day
after his famous exploit-two enemy
aviators brought down in minute.
This time the clergy could not resist,
they wished to press his hand and
tell him of their enthusiastic, admira
ton. But Guynemer was modest in
the extreme, and praise he did not
wish to hear, and he soon took leave.
He had more than a presentiment,
he had certainty of approaching
death and he accepted it. "Hodie
mihi cras tibi," he said with gentle
melancholy on August %, his young
heroic face full of manly sweetness.
And it was on September II that he
disappeared. A British tank laden
with roses-what vision!has been
seeking the grave of Guynemer, in the
cemetery of Poelcapelle, which is
now within the Allied lines.
But though the cemetery has
scarcely suffered from the lombard
ment and the graves are all intact,
they could not find the aviator's tomb.
| It is supposed he must have been

etery established beyond the village
and which is still in enemy hands. 1t
lis said even the enemy were so moved

honors

The PROPAGATION OF The FAITH

| ing; but since the regime of blood
was inaugurated on European soil,
their plight has become truly des-
lperate. Catholic Europe, till recently
the main support of the Church's mis-
sionary activities, has neither men
nor dollars to give to the cause at
the present time. Orphanages, schools,
seminaries, hospitals and other insti-
tutions, established in better times at
large expenditure of money and hui
man energy, are closing their doors
at an alarming rate. Scores of Cath
olic missionary enterprises in China,
Japan, India and other Eastern coun-
tries, have toppled and fallen to ruin
within the past year. Tens of thou
sands of native children have been
turned away from our institutions, to
which they have been rescued, or to
pass to the hands of Protestant mis-
sionary bodies. The American Meth
odist Church alone has recently voted
$40,000,000, to be spent in the mis-
sions within the next five years to
handle the increase of business. In
very truth, the Apostolic army
your Apostolic army-is in sorry
straits; it's ranks are depleted, it's
supplies are exhausted AS loyal cit
izens of the Republic of God it is up
to us to rally to the support of our
soldiers in the field.
