furnished by Mr.. Masqueray. Among
them may be mentioned the Cathe-
drals in Wichita, Kansas, and Winni-
peg, Manitoba, the residence building
and the chapel for ST. Thomas College,
and the residence building of st. Paul
Seminary, in this city, besides many
of the churches in this diocese and
elsewhere. He also drew plans for
enlarging and beautifying the capitol
at Des Moines, Ia, a two million dol
lar undertaking, and he superintended
this work.
Mr.. Masqueray was not married,
and he lived with his mother until
her death few years ago. He was
one of the most prominent men in the
architectural field in the history of
America. He was a member of all
the principal professional organiza-
tions in the country.
The funeral was held from the ST.
Paul Cathedral on Tuesday morning,
May 20, at ten o'clock. The Solemn
High Mass of Requiem was celebrated
by the Right Reverend Thomas
OGorman, Bishop of Sioux Falls, S.
d. The Most Reverend Archbishop
delivered the eulogy. The music of
the Mass was sung by choir, COM
posed of priests! under the direction
of Rev. Francis X. Bajec. Burial was
in Calvary Cemetery beside the re-
mains of his mother.
The following tribute to Mr..
Masqueray was received from the
Most Reverend Archbishop of Du-
buque, Ia:
Archbishop's House,
Dubuque, May 26, 1917.
Your telegram of this morning tell
ing me that Mr. Masqueray had died
filled me with sorrow and deep
sense of great personal loss.
One could not have known Mr.
Masqueray and not have respected,
admired and loved him. He was so
true a type of the Christian gentleman
One cannot but wish that he might
have been spared for the years which
seemed his, and for the work before
him.
His name will live enshrined in a
great Cathedral, his creation. He
will be remembered gratefully for
having evoked an appreciation sand
created demand in these parts for the
truly artistic in, even, small churches.
| fear we may find no one to con-
tinue his great work for religion; but
at any rate those who have seen the
churches he built in Minnesota and
Iowa and Dakota will no longer
acquiesce in the commonplace and
vulgar
May God grant him rest in the
vision of the Infinite Beauty. regret
much that two important engagements
for Tuesday make it impossible for
me to attend the funeral services.
Yours in Xto,

FRENCH CLERGY-FRANCE HAS

PRIESTS ON THE FIELD OF

A non-sectarian paper first printed

priests. The article was written by
Sterling Heilig in the Chicago Tribune
for May 90:
Paris, April "a well known man.
aging editor writes me: Remember
that from time to time articles which
reflect the soul of France make a
strong appeal to American readers
So here goes.
Many have maryeled at the heroic
courage OF French soldiers. There
may be several explanations, but a
principal one is certainly as follows:
The French government put a gun in
the hands of every young priest,
brother and Church student. Between
10000 and 10000 are at the war. They
are not chaplains. They are simple
soldiers, by universal military service
law, without choice, in the name of
equality. They look like soldiers, they
are soldiers.
A form crawls among the wounded
on the battlefield at dusk and mur-
murs: Il am priest Receive abso-
luton. Be at peace"
And there you are.
Men feel differently about these
matters in bloody war A young mis-
sionary called back to the army from

letter to my next door neighbors:

went to the colonel. The abbe be-
longs to u.s. they said. We want him
to be with us under fire, to risk our
lives gayly in all security, because we
know that priest is beside us, ready
at first call "

name of equality of all citizens; and
Deputy Grossau, in parliament. has
just stated in this sense that Of 25,-

$500 have been killed, while Of 600
Jesuits who returned to France from
practical exile to take their places in
the army 100 have fallen, and so on,
for Christian brothers and other sup
pressed communities. But this other
secondary result, which is so striking,
comes, you might say, Unexpectedly.
You take a man of God and put a
gun into his hand. If he refuses he is
a deserter and is treated as such
Their bishops told them to obey the
law of equality In return their COM
panions, the poilus, began to obey
another law-the law of human
nature.
In his section, from the start, the
priest-soldier came to be the soul of
the bunch. The chiefs noticed more
confidence and go" in companies
where he happened to be. He seemed
to centralize the moral force of the
men around him, as if it were an
emanation from his person" according
to an early report.

JOHN E. ARTHUR HEAD
OF PROPERTY BUREAU
Naming Of Representative
From 10Th Ward to Succeed
Cummiskey Causes Surprise

Mayor Smith today appointed John
T.. Arthur, AIS West York street, menu
ber of the House of Representatives
from the Twelfth Legislative District,
to the position of chief of the Bureau of
City Property.
The new bureau chief is Il political
henchman of state Senator David Mar
tin, the Ware leader of the Nineteenth
and Thirty-frst Wards. His appoint
ment comes somewhat as n surprise, as
n number of other Ware workers were
prominently mentioned for the place.
The vacancy occurred through the re-
cent death of Frank j. Cummiskey, who
was close personal friend of Magis-
trate-elect William T., Campbell, who
carried the Twenty-hfth for the Town
Meeting party against the Organization,
thus losing the place from the Organi-
cation credit column of the ward.
Up until the present time the position
has carried "a salary of $4,000 year,
! but Councils in 1913 Will provide Dut
| $1,000 for the salary, it being determined
that the $500 had been added for car
rlage hire at a time when the Bureau
head was not allowed an automobile.
