SOLDIERS IN PALESTINE
CATHOLIC BRITISH SOLDIERS
MAKE STATIONS OF THE CROSS
EVERY DAY OF WEEK.

The Catholic soldiers in the Brit
ish army in Palestine, who are now
in Jerusalem, are seen daily making
the. Stations of the Cross through the
Via Dolorosa, terminating the sta
lions at the Church of the Holy Sep
ulchre Many Of these troops are
from South and West Ireland, and
under the guidance Of the Catholic
army chaplain or a franciscan friar
they follow the Way of the Cross in
the steps trodden by our Divine
Saviour.
Other places of pilgrimage for the
soldiers are the Church of st. Anne,
which stands over the traditional site
of the birthplace of Our Lady, and
the ancient Church of the Tomb of
the Blessed Vargin, which was built
by Millicent, the daughter of King
Baldwin of Jerusalem.
This church is the second in the
valley before crossing the bridge to-
wards Gethsemane. BY the door Of
the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
there still remains the tomb of the
English knight, Sir Philip D'Aubigny,
who has lain there for seven centu-
ries.

When the interviewer pointed out
that his removal was necessitated by
the daily increasing danger, the white
haired prelate exclaimed, his eyes
flashing:
THAT did not matter to me. l
wanted to remain there forever as a
witness for the cathedral. / wanted
to remain there so that at the last
minute, the last second, there should
be in massacred Rheims one author
lied civilian to cry out:
1T is untrue that there was ever
wireless telegraph station on the
cathedral There was never an opti-
cal observatory nor machine gun
nor a cannon on my basilica.'
Our officers have already testified
to this, but it was necessary that the
enemy should be unable to suggest
that military denials were interested,
and that officers could not give evil
dence in their own cause. They could
not urge the same reasons for doubt
ing my word, the word of a Cardinal,
and my mere presence there was a
perpetual protest against their crime"
''The cathedral said Cardinal Lu-
con later, is gravely mutilated, but
it can be repaired"

ARCHBISHOP HANNA
PRELATE OF SAN FRANCISCO
OPENS SESSION OF UNITED
STATES SENATE WITH PRAYER.

Most Rev. Edward J. Hanna, Arch
bishop of San Francisco, opened the
United States Senate on April 15
with the following prayer:
80 God OF our fathers, in whose
hands are the lives of men, and in
whose power is the destiny of the
Nation, look down upon Thy children
gathered here in Thy name In the
way Of Thy love Thou hast again Wis
tied this body and taken from it one
whose power was our glory Make
US recognize that with Thee are the
issues OF life and death. Mako us
submissive to the decree of Thy di-
vine providence. Thou alone canst
bring strength to those who mourn
Thou alone canst bring peace to hearts
oppressed by grief and pain. Oh grant
that his loved ones may find strength
in Thee to bear their loss. Grant
that his loved ones may, through
their tears, look up to Thee as the
only source of JOY and consolation.
Chosen representative of a mighty
people, we come to Thee in the most
crucial day in the history of our civil
ization. Oh give us light that We
may see Thy way among the nations.
Give us strength that we may follow
the light Whithersoeyer it may be.
Make our laws reflect Thy divine wis
dom, and may they direct the issues
of the world into Thy greater glory.
Give strength unto our President
and to those in whose hands are the
affairs of orr mighty people. We
pray above all things that they may
have strength and power to endure
and to fight to the end Give strength
to our men who, in fields afar, battle
for our rights. Give strength to their
arms, that they may win victory and
that, through victory, there may come
peace. And grant, o Lord, that, in
the days, of peace, we may grow in
power and righteousness and unto the
glory of Thy holy name. Amen"

Canadian Chaplain Killed
REV. G. E. r. CROCHETIERE, CT,
MEETS DEATH IN ACTION.


The first chaplain ia the Canadian
forces to sacrifice his life in the cause
is a French-C Canadian Catholic priest,
the Rev. G. e. R. Crochetiere, CT, of
the Diocese of NicoIet. Father Gro
chetiere, who was chaplain to a
Ffench-Canadian battalion, and who
always insisted on sharing the danger
with his men, was killed by a shell
while attending to the wounded in a
dressing station close to the trenches.
He was buried with full military
honors, and with a Solemn Requiem
Mass, sung by Chaplain Major For
tier, the deacon and sub-deacon be-
ing Fathers Letang and Wood. Father
Fortier preached in French. Many
officers and men received Holy Com
munion at the Mass.

good and not always an easy morti-

gard for the virtue of charity espe-
cially in speech; indulge less in inno-

LARGE FAMILIES
WAR CAUSING GRAVE. ALARM FOR
FUTURE OF NATIoN-cATHOLIC
PRINCIPLES MUST BE OBJ
SERVED.

The welfare of the family will pre-
sent us with a number of new prob
lens at the close Of the war, in ad-
ditfon to those that call for solution
today Through the awful slaughter
of men on the battlefield, the home
life of women will be seriously endan-
gered Disproportion of numbers will
deprive many women of the opportun-
ity of marrying. They will be forced
in many cases to do the work of men
and will be exposed to many dangers
and temptations, observes a contem-
porary.
In more than one country of
Europe, as well as in the United
States, the diminishing birth-rate had
given cause for serious anxiety before
the war. Statesmen may discuss and
pass measures to remedy the hidden
evils from which this condition
springs, but without a great revival
of religious faith, which vii impress
upon people the obligation of observ-
ing Gods holy law and avoiding sin,
it is not to be expected that much
will be accomplished 1t is true that
in such matters the State should make
proper provision for social conditions
that will encourage holy family life
Must we not also pray that the eyes
of all may be opened to the horrible
evil of divorce, that makes the United
States a scandal to the world? The
ease with which the civil obligations
of matrimony may be cast aside is a
constant source of temptation to dis
regard the moral law. The only safe
guard for the family and for society
is a strict observance of Gods law on
the indissolubility of marriage, as pro-
claimed by the Church: What God
hath Joined together, let no man put
asunder.''

 The need for high grade type of motor car for rental purposes has be- come increasingly apparent as the number of Washington transients grew with the progress of the nation al war work. The cars were designed to be the equal, in appearance and in comfort, of those which officials and others use at their homes.
 Both town cars and taxicab bodies were designed by Dodge Brothers dealer at New York, and are mounted on the standard chassis. A great many such cars are in the service of private owners and taxi companies in New York.

DEATH OF MRS. MARGARET
 AMELIA REINHARDT.

Mrs. Margaret Amelia Reinhardt, aged S2 years, passed away early this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. w. B. Hays, on Lau- rel street. Mrs. Reinhardt had been a patient sufferer from severe ill., ness for several years, and while death did not come unexpectedly, the many people of Newport who knew her and had grown to love this kindly Christian character, were made sad by the news of her demise.
 The deceased was the wife of Dan iel F. Reinhardt, one of Arkansas earliest settlers, who with his wife, came from North Carolina to Arkan- sas and settled in what is now Prairie county. Mr. Reinhardt was a mem Der of the constitutional convention which met in 1874. MT. and Mrs. Reinhardt resided in Little Rock for about ten years. She, with her hus- band, were instrumental in placing on foot many religious organizations throughout Arkansas, and their home in Prairie county served as the meet ing place for 8 newly organized church, there being no church struc- lures in those days. Throughout her life Mir. Reinhardt exemplified all the characteristics of a model Christian woman, whose examples shall always be worthy of emulation.
 Prayer services were held at the residence of Mrs. Hays at 5 o'clock this afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. Lyman Wheaton. The body will be shipped to Cabot this evening at 7:30 o'clock, and from Cabot will be taken to Sylva- mia, the former home of the deceased, in Prairie county, for burial tomor- row. The remains will be accom- panied by Rev. Hays and his son, William, Mrs. Hays being prevented from making the trip on account of illness.
 All that could possibly be done to brighten the declining days of Mrs. Reinhardt was administered in ten der and loving care by Mrs. Hays and her family, and in the loss of her sainted mother she has the greatest sympathy of large host of friends.

 The farmer can win this war.
 Only by famine does the Kaiser hope to conquer-famine by force of the sub marine. If the submarine brings Eng land and France to their knees, beg ging bread in the humiliation of de feat, the Kaiser will then turn upon the United States.
 England and France can be saved from famine by the farmers of the United States and Canada in spite of the submarine, if they will. The sub- marine will sink food that England and France so sorely needs but the submarine can not sink enough to starve our allies, if the farmer of the United States will raise maximum crops, raise every pound and save ev. cry pound of foods he possibly can.
 It's fight, therefore. between the farmer of the United States on the one hand and the gaunt wolf of the Kaiser, famine, on the other hand.
 If the American farmer can raise enough to allow for the submarine toll and enough more food to place lover there" to feed those who are fighting, then victory is ours.
 But i;'s q narrow margin. The whole world is on the verge of star yation. If even normal crop is pro duced in this country it is not going to afford enough to feed everybody
