ing awaiting their turns in the i'm

good cheer he can insert in the let

figures must always be produced by
his goodby missive. But there are
no signs. These boys are soldiers.
They remain, every man-jack Of
them, for the midnight mass, after
which they step out of the building
ready to face all the terrors the
Huns may loose upon them.
Always, when troop movement
is imminent, the chaplain will be re-
quested to perform marriage cere-
monies. This is no light task for
K. of c. chaplain, as every marriage
between Catholics, contracted &C
cording to the law of the Church, re-
quires formalities which cannot be
dispensed with. To protect the wom-
an in every marriage and to guard
against clandestine weddings, basic
requirements are laid down for the
two parties to the marriage to fulfil
before any priest, whether chaplain
or not, can pronounce them man and
wife. Letters must be obtained from
the pastors of the man and woman,
and several pertinent points of in
formation truthfully supplied which
could hardly be given by anybody
contemplating a rash marriage.
The chaplains do not encourage
last-minute marriages; they have
been found not to affect favorably
the morale of the men contracting
them. Military discipline must nee
essarily be of such a nature that it
cannot make a single exception, and
often the case has occurred where
girl goes to Merritt. gets married,
and must take Der honeymoon with
her husband during his few hours
of liberty within the confines Of the
camp. Then the chaplain has
double job. He must console the
girl and cheer up the bridegroom.

! line-that idea is secuted with all
the haste and emphasis required by
the thoroughgoing Americanism that
pervades every department-bus
ness, recreational and social or of
American army life. It's no extra
ordinary thing to see bunch of
colored Southern Baptists playing
pool around table in a X. of C. hall
with the priest watching their game
and, where h can, giving them
points at it. The chaplain sits in
and tells an anecdote when the bows
are patient enough to attend to that
unexciting diversion. He'll teach
them checkers and chess just as
readily as he'll revive their remem-
brance Of their catechism. And the
big point to get is that the X. of c.
chaplain isn't put in camp to pro
lect religion: he is there to supply
the means of practising it to the
boys who enjoyed these means I'M

Chaplain Wins
The Croix de Guerre
Father John B. De Wales, one of
the first K. of c. chaplains to sail
overseas, went through a hell of fire
and incidentally won the Croix de
Guerre for going through it to save
the life of non-Catholic in the
regiment to which he was attached.

Sunlight Distressing.

In addition to the wind there is an
other peculiarly Of the inland ice
which adds to the difficulties to be
encountered In the Arctic. That is the
extreme intensity of the sunlight,
which can be realized only by those
who have experienced it. During the
summer months the sun shines as
brightly there in clear weather as any
where further south, and this contin-
uOus brilliancy is intensified a hum
dredfold by the reflection from endless
fields Of glistening, sparkling snow,
unrelieved by a single object. The
strongest eyes can stand such q blind
ing glare only few hours without
protection. We always wore heavy
smoked glasses, and when in camp
found 1t impossible to sleep without
still further protecting the eyes by
tying a narrow band of fur about them
to exclude the light. Only when
storm is brewing does this intense
light become subdued. At such times,
however, the sky and snow take on a
peculiar gray, Opaque light, which is
even more trying than the sunlight

Ever See a Dinoonek?

The dingOnek is huge, unclassified
aquatic monster, says the Wide World
Magazine. 1t resembles in many of it's
characteristics the extinct dinosaur, a
huge reptile Of the MesOzOic period, fos-
silS Of which have been discovered by
psychologists in the sandstone strata
both Of the African and American con-
tinents. 1t lives In Lake Victoria Ny

there is no record Of the monster hav-

world. Whether 1t Is a descendant Of
one Of the huge prehistoric saurians

Of civilized man-continued with but
slight notifications through prodigious
ages to the present time, or whether it
is an unclassified reptile or amphibian,
it is equally impossible to say, as no
specimen exists either Of its bones or
of its skin. That this monster does ex-
ist however, there can be no particle
Of doubt, as the testimony of authori-

HALFWAY WORK DEGRADING
Should Confess Our Poverty or Parsi-
mony, But Not Belle Our Human
Intellect, Says Writer.

We are, none Of US, wrote Ruskin,
so good architects as to be able to
work habitually beneath our strength;
and yet there Is not a building that I
know of, lately raised, wherein it Is
not sufficiently evident that neither
architect nor builder has done his
best. 1t is the especial characteristic
OF modern work. All old work nearly
has been hard work. 1t may be the
hard work Of children, Of barbarians,
OF rustics; but 1t Is always their ut
most. Let us have done with this kind
Of work at once; cast off every temp
tation to 1t; do not let us degrade our
selves voluntarily, and then mutter
and mourn over our shortcomings let
US confess our poverty or our parsi-
mOny, but not belle our human intel
lect. 1t is not a question Of doing
more, but Of doing better. Do not let
US boss our roofs with wretched, half
worked, blunt-edged rosettes; do not
let US flank our gates with rigid imita-
tons OF medieval statuary. Such
things are mere insults to common
sense, and only unfit US for feeling the
nobility OF their prototypes.

WHEN A PRISONER is EX-
CHANGED.

Ivan Rossiter, captured by the Ger
mans, and later exchanged, says in
the May Farm and Fireside:
Then / lay down, not to sleep,
but to think. i thought of the day
i enlisted in Canada, of leaving
home, the training camps, the trip
overseas to England, the training in
England, going across the channel
to Flanders, the terrific fighting at
Ypres, of the many friends who fell
on that bloody battlefield, how / was
wounded and captured, the inhuman
treatment / received at the hands
of the German surgeons, who had
four husky Germans hold me down
while they cut five bones out of my
wrist and amputated my middle
finger at the second joint when l was
wounded in the palm of the hand, the
kicks and cuffs from prison guards,
and the terrible stuff the Germans
called food in the prison camps"
