Irish Soldiers in French Basilica.
"A touching ceremony in France
during the past few days was the at
tendance of some $500 Irish soldiers
at the Basilica of Notre Dame des
Miracles, st. Omer, where a novena
is in progress. The soldiers arrived
with three generals at their head and
forty staff officers. They attended
Mass, said for their intention on Sun
day in presence of Bishop Julien OF
| Arras. After the Mass an Irish chap
lain assembled the pulpit and thanked
the clergy of Arras and their Bishop
for their unfailing kindness to British
soldiers. After all had knelt for the
Bishops blessing outside the church,
| there was a grand defile before him
when he stood at the door of the rec
tory and took the salute while the
| band of the Irish regiment played
patriotic airs. When the three gen
erals arrived before him they went
| over to him and, kneeling at his feet
asked a blessing on themselves and
| their men-an act of humble faith
which was greeted with applause by
those present.
