A rickety wooden bridge led from
the chateau courtyard, with it's own
smaller towers, eight in number, to
the big tower. Around it was dry
moat. Within was a high, circular
room, 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet
high, with vaulted ceiling.
Natural light came only through the
tunnel-like door through the twelve
foot wall. In the wall was a steep,
narrow stairway, winding to the up

with the lower, with one window.
Another black hole of a stairway cir
ced to the roof, where was a BASIN
like spot grown with gras and bushes,
sprouting through seven centuries.
The lower chamber showed unmis-
!takeable traces, including telephone
wires and map tables, of its use by
Ludendorff as the main war office
on the front. The upper chamber
had been his private sleeping quar-
terS.
Staff officers apparently had been

THE PRIEST AT THE FRONT.

1t is almost a platitude to say
that wherever danger threatens
there the priest is to be found. So
many eases continually to
our notice that it has come to be
considered a matter of course
that a priest will always be pres
ent where his services are requir-
ed, even in the most perilous con-
ditions.
Surely, however, was it cause
of heartfelt satisfaction and legit-
innate pride on the part of Cath
olics last week when the press Of
the country heralded the news
that our Catholic chapfains abroad
had so distinguished themselves.
The papers told offthe brilliant
defense made by the American
troops against overwhelming odds
at the storming of Seicheprey. In
the same breath we were informed
of the heroism displayed by Rev.
VIM. j. Farrell, an army chaplain
from West Newton, Mass. Al
though severely wounded, Father
Farrell assisted the men, carried
up ammunition and kept one OF
the batteries working during that
terrible night. Even after the
battle he refused to retire until
he brought to a dressing station a
young soldier who had been badly
wounded and left alone. His two
fellow chaplains, Fathers O'Con-
nor and Boucher, proved their
courage in standing by the men
throughout that night of horrors.
Not in boastful sense do we
chronicle such happenings, but
simply that our people may realize
the heroic stuff of which our chap
Iains are made.

LAYMEN OF GEORGIA.

It seems to be an axiom In the
history of prosecutions the world
over that continued opposition
usually begets valiant defenders.
For many years the State OF Geor-
gia has made bid for notorlety
through the unsayory products OF
bigotry and ignorance. In fact,
that community has become a by
word among the States OF the
Union. The lowest form OF lg-
norance-religious Intolerance
has been resorted to by the
strange denizens Of that benlght-
ed commonwealth. They have
been led, or misled, by man who
used his talents and knowledge
in attempting to tear down the
Catholic Church.
This continued assault finally
has produced able defenders, In
September, 1916, a meeting was
held at Macon. Two representa-
tives of each parish and one from
each subsidiary church society IN
the diocese were present. they
had been called together by Blsh-
OPP Kelley. Discussion led to the
conclusion that hostility to things
Catholic in the State OF Georgia
was due chiefly to ignorance. 1t
was decided that the best antldote
for this evil was knowledge pre-
sented IN a kindly and charitable
manner.
It was agreed then that sane
publicity would act as a counter
current to the stream OF mlsrepre-
sentation. Under the direction OF
one Of the finest lay scholars IN
the United States a commission
was formed, and the Catholic Lay

MOTHERS DAY.

Several years ago a lady Of
Philadelphia inaugurated what has
been called Mothers Day. The
idea was to bring about a world
wide recognition of the love that is
borne to mothers by all civilized
nations. AT present the day is
generally observed in nearly every
country. Next Sunday, May II,
will be Mothers Day this year.
The underlying idea in this
commemoration is to honor and
to exalt the various ideas associ-
ated with womanhood and the
home. The pagans of old gave
but a material significance to the
word, mother. Christianity ar
rived in the midst Of a benighted
world. God was born Of a human
mother, and from that moment
motherhood and the sanctity of
the home were raised aloft and
placed upon high pedestal. For
nineteen hundred years the ideals
embodied in the word, mother,
have been the theme Of genius in
every form of it's manifestation
The Mother Of God has been the
exemplar after which all maternal
perfection has been patterned.
Purity and honor, tenderness and
affection are always connoted by
that ineffable term of endearment.
This year Mothers Day will
have an added meaning. Mother
| and child are co-relative terms :
the welfare of the one naturally
recalls the other. The strongest
appeal that can be made to the
lsoldier to preserve himself from
moral and spiritual evil is based
upon the memory of her who is
the shrine of all affection, his
mother. Wives who are wilfully
childless must hang their heads in
shame during this time, the great
day of mother and son. The
honors showered by a grateful
people upon the boys who are
placing their lives upon the altar
of Liberty necessarily reflect with
luster and brilliancy upon the
mother. The Virgin Mother of
Nazareth foretold that all nations
would declare her blessed: today
all America arises and, with one
voice, proclaims blessed and hon
ored the mothers who have sent
their sons abroad that America
might remain free, and a safe, a
HAPPY, and a decent place in which
to live.
