Wounded Catholic Soldiers.-In a
letter to the Catholic Press Cardinal
Bourne tells of the activity of the
Catholic Soldiers Association in Eng
land, of which he is president, in
bringing the ministrations of their re
ligion to wounded Catholic soldiers
placed in hospitals at a distance from
any Catholic priest. This work was
taken up about two and half years
ago; funds were raised, correspondents
and associates were enrolled in order
to ascertain where such cases exist
ed, and to assist the local clergy
conveyances were hired to take
wounded soldiers to Mass; priests
were sent to distant hospitals to give
others the Sacramento. The Cardina
says the work is very urgent, and ap
peals for funds to continue it.

The Salvation Army had its origin
in the town of Whitby, in the rough

where General Booth, at that time
Rev. William Booth, was doing hum

sprinkled it plentifully with hallelu-
jahs and posted 1000 copies of it
about town. The device tickled the
British sense of humor, there was a

General Booth. THE penitents fell
down in heaps and the Salvation
Army sprang into life full grown.

A French Protest.-Rene BaZin pro-
tests in the Echo de Paris against
new note which has been sent to the
armies, prescribing the strictest relig-
ious neutrality be observed at the front,
and advising that the ar tive Catho-
lie propaganda now exercised may be
interfered with, especially the wearing
OF religious emblems on the uniform.
He says he wishes it were possible
to affirm that there were no more dan
gerous propaganda among the French
soldiers than that which proposes the
divine ideal, and inculcates discipline,
sobriety, chastity and the spirit of
scomradeship. He points out at length
that true neutrality permits the Cath
olic soldier as much liberty in exer-
cising lis religion as is given to the
infidel to ignore religion.

and If he can preach an occasional
