Cardinals hat was run out to the

Zach cardinal on his induction into

1t is emblematic of the pomp and

Cardinal the hat is hung in the cathe-

First And Last
To Die Are
Irish Catholics
Lieut.. William T. Fitzsimmons Killed
Sept. s, 1e17-chapIain William
F. Davitt Killed Nov. II, 1918.

According to press dispatch re-
ceived last week from a correspon-
dent with the American Army of Oc-
cupatiOn, Father William F. Davitt of
Holyoke, Mass, chaplain with the
18th Infantry, who was killed by q
shell at 9:45 o'clock on the morning
the armistice began-just one hour
and fifteen minutes before hostilities
actually stopped was the last United
States officer to give his life for his
country in the present war. Thus has
Catholic blood been the last as we'll
as the first to flow for America in the
world conflict. Lieut.. William T..
F'itzsimons of the Medical Corps,
graduate of st. Mary's College, St..
Mary's, Kas., and member of Kan
sas City Council of the knights of
Columbus, was the first United States
officer to die in the war; He was
killed by bomb dropped from Ger
man airplane on a French hospital on
September 6, 1917.
Chaplain Davitt had been attached
to the corps headquarters for a few
weeks, returning to his old regiment
on November II. He said it was like
"a homecoming. He gave Colonel
Eckert a flag which he had been car
rying in his roll of bedding. He said
it was to be used in the flag raising
when hostilities stopped. A few min
utes later he started out across a
clearing and shell struck him. He
was killed instantly.
He was worshipped by the entire
division. A casket of oak was made
for him, lined with an olive drab army
blanket. Another blanket was folded
and used as pillow. The flag that he
gave Colonel Eckert and which was to
have been used in a flag raising cere-
mony was draped over the casket. He
was buried the next day with one of
the most impressive ceremonies &C.
corded anyone.
The hearse was formed with two
machine gun carts. An army mule,
which had been pet of the chaplain,
drew the casket. The chaplain's
horse was led to the burying ground
by ar orderly. The stirrups were re.
versed and the regimental band trailed
playing the Dead March,"
The clergyman who officiated at the
grave was the Rev. George S. l.. Con.
nor of Holyoke, and now a senior
chaplain with the Third army of occu.
patton. He was a classmate of Chap.
lain Davitt at Holy Cross. Both grad.
| uated in 1907. Each had heard the
J other was in France and had sought
each other for weeks. They finally
! met just a couple of weeks before
Chaplain Davitt was killed.
Chaplain Davitt was cited for BRAY
cry on August 6 during the operations
along the Veslie river. Learning that
forty wounded Americans were Gu,
off in ravine, he called for volun
teers and led a rescuing party through
hail of machine gun fire. The party
rescued every one of the wounded
men and not member of the rescu
ing party was hit.
