GIRL BUGLER SOUNDS LONG
ROLL, AROUSES WHOLE
NAVAL STATION.

Out of the still, dark night, the
call to arms was suddenly sounded at
the Algiers Naval Station recently.
Hundreds of Marines and sailors
sprang from their beds and seized
their rifles. Then the call to atten-
ton was sounded and the sleep-be-
wildered men began to dress hur-
riedly.
A major who lived some distance
from the barracks had also heard
the call. He telephoned and order
ed that the trumpeter be summoned
and the cause of the alarm explain
ed.
A guardsman rushed over to the
Y. VI. c. A. hut whence the sound
proceeded, and where a playlet given
by group of girls and men entitled
America for France" was in prog
ress.
The bugler was placed under ar
rest and escorted into the presence
of an officer The officer was as
founded when he beheld the often
der, Miss Ada Malone, bugler of the
squad of marinettes, on recruiting
duty in New Orleans.
She explained that she was simply
blowing calls between the acts of
the playlet and understood that the
men had been warned.

REV. JULES p. CASSAGNE.

The unexpected departure of the
Rev. Father Jules p. Cassagne S. NJ,
has occasioned regret as deep as it is
widespread The notification of his
promotion as pastor of Paulina and
its allied missions came as a shock
to his friends-and their name is le-
gion-for to know Father Cassagne is
to love him. For well nigh thirteen
years he labOred in Algiers, with that
thoroughgoing zeal, charity and piety
which ever characterised his priestly
life. He was "all things to all men
that he might save ALL" and never
spared himself in promoting the tenn
pOral welfare of all with whom he
came in contact, while his tireless zeal
for their spiritual welfare was
bounded. not by the limits of earth,
but of heaven. Father Cassagne will
be sorely missed by not few who
were the objects of his practical char
ity. He did not let the one hand
know what the other doeth. His
prediction was for the poor and in
Father Cassagne the less fortunate
had a friend without alloy as well as
a trusted champion. His fellow
priests of Algiers will miss a devoted
priest. genial companion whose con-
versation was resplendent with wit
and humor and whose magic person
ality gave him wide popularity
throughout Louisiana and Mississippi
wherever he has labored. A pulpit
orator of no mean order, Father Cas-
sagne has given many missions, espe-
cially in Mississippi, where his force
full eloquence, enriched by an mex
haustible vocabulary and crowned by
his delightful personality, has drawn
the hayward back to virtue and given
new zest for righteousness to the
more faithful
Paulina is singularly blessed in the
possession of Father Cassagne as its
shepherd. where his zeal and business
ability will work wonders, and on
leaving Algiers, which he loved so
well. Algiers, too, that loved him so
much. 1t is the sincere aspiration of
men of every creed and Of no creed
that he may be spared many years to
work in the great cause to which his
lifes labors are so unselfishly de-
voted.
