Out Of No Man S Land
By
HARRY IRVING GREENE

Father:
This wonderful letter that am writ
ing you-a miracle letter. | was hurt,
badly, but l am going to get well. 1t
happened like this-yOu know | am
not allowed to name place or date.
No Mans Land We were raiding
it by night, three of us-scouting,
prowling. 1t was as dark as the dun
geOns of inferno, but often they sent
up signal shells-rOseate, bursting
things that bathed all that evil land
in blood-red light When their glare
f1ared over us we had to stand as we
were caught, hand or foot upraised-
moveless objects in the red glow until
the light snuffed out and all was dark
once more.
We reached the German entangle-
ments and began cutting them with
our oiled clippers. We were careful,
very careful, but we were not careful
enough. They heard us. Over came
two bombs.
The three of us went down in row.
Jack and Tom never knew what hit
them. l was hurt too badly to be able
to get up.
| lay there-all night-grOaning-
calling for help. Twenty feet away
could hear the bOches in their trench
laughing at me, curSing me.
Morning! My last. l could endure
1t no more. was dying-bleeding. l
said my last prayer.
And then!
Since the dawn of time | do not be-
lieve the world has seen a more glOri-
ous thing. From the hill tops our ar
tillery laid down a box barrage fire
and under it, heads raised like en-
perors and shoulders squared, came
six men. stretcher bearers. AS though
they had been on parade they came
forth in broad daylight into the very
teeth of the enemy and picked up
what was left Of Jack, Tom and me.
AS though we had been their own
brothers they bore us back, swiftly,
gently. Then do you know what those
Huns did?
+ Onened fire on us-the dead, the
hearers of the dead and a man who lay
Oniyering at the threshold Of death.
Two of the six bearers went down
The other four brought them back
along with what was left of Jack, Tom
/ and me.
And when | awOke in the hospital
after the operation. deathly sick but
1 hack from the nightmare-land and
with the sunlight upon me, whom do
YOU think | saw bending over me, the
red cross upon her sleeve, babbling,
Laughing. crying, kissing me?
+ JANE!
And I had never known that she had
I come over! Had never got her letter.
And we are here together and | am
going to get well. An hour ago she
held out her hand, and upon one finger
was still the little ring / gave her be-
fore left. am going to have stone
set in it-yOu know what that means.
Though somewhat disfgured | am still
/ In the ring.

A "May" Celebration.
(By Miss Thalia Kartchner)

(By Miss Thalia Kartchner)
One of the prettiest celebrations
ever seen in Snowflake was en-
joyed on Tuesday afternoon, May
21.
The fourth and fifth grade
girls of the Primary Association,
under the supervision of Miss
Dora Freeman and Mrs. Eliza S.
Roge S, have been holding a con-
test in attendance for the past
few weeks, the loosing side to
furnish entertainment t0 the
winning side at the end of the
contest.
The captains were Fay Webb
and Clarissa Smith. Competition
ran high, and so many girls at
tended who were already enroll
ed, and others who were induced
to enroll, that this class, which
was a combination of the fourth
and fifth grades, has been divid-
ed into separate grades, and each
class now has a large enrolment,
and several new teachers have
been added to our splendid corps
of teachers.
At the close of the contest
when the points where counted,
both sides were jubilant, for to
the credit of each side there
stood 63 points. AS both sides
were winners, all of the girls
joined in furnishing a delightful
May" celebration, witnessed
by a large number of mothers,
primary officers and primary
children.
The celebration was held
under the trees on the lawn south
of TIE Stake House, where the
May-Queen, little Miss Irene
Stratton, was crowned by twelve
little maids dressed in white,
and a May-Pole was beautifully
braided by a large number of
girls in white.
These were features which
many of the primary children
had never seen. There were
patriotic and spring songs as
suitable accompaniment for the
exercises, after which many OF
the ladies present gave remarks
reminiscent of early-day May
C elbrations. Mrs. Elizabeth
Kartchner told of one in Califor-
MIA in 1856, when Mrs. Lois Pratt
Hunt, then girl of 19, was the
May-Queen. Mrs. May H. Lar
son told of the first May celebra-
ton in Snowflake, in 1881. when
Mrs. Ida Hunt Udall was the
Queen, crowned by 8 maids who
were May Hunt Larson, Mary
Flake Turley, Mary Rogers
Skowson, Emma Larson Smith,
Orpha Rogers James, Mamie
Freeman Smith, Amelia Hunt
Kartchner, and Linda Rollins
Scott.
A few games were played,
pictures of the Queen and Maids
and Pole Braiders were taken,
then a dainty refreshment of

When a mercantile establishment
takes the stand that selling for
cash means better service, lower
prices, the customer can be as
sured that all are treated alike
and that the cash customer
never has to pay for the losses
sustained by the bad credit

punch and cake was served by
the teachers of the fourth and
fifth grades.
Great interest is being taken
in the Primary at present, the
special feature being the Red
Cross Work. Many beautiful
and useful articles for the Soldier
Boys have been forwarded to
headquarters.
1t is hoped that such a acelebra-
tion as this one will help to keep
up the enthusiasm for Primary
Work, that we may have a
highly successful year.

Henry Ward Beecher coined
many cute, pert and wise saying.
He was a great preacher. He it
was who said: Cleanliness is

advise the public to see J. o.
Freeman's new barber shop with
its frst-class bathing facilities
a sanitary place to bathe in is a
blessing for the community.

A. G. McCloskey, K. G. Kart
elmer and others are arranging
to organize a Snowflake base ball
team on plan that will create
quite a bit of interest from the
time the first ball is thrown. 1t
is planned to play Holbrook,
Winslow, Flagstaff, and other
points where match teams can
be arranged for. Capt. McClos-
key says that base ball will ad-
vertise Snowflake almost as much
as the first train into town and

was talking about. Play ball!

MGR, GUTHLIN DEAD
NOTED CANONIST AND DIPLOMAT
PASSES AWAY.

1917 has seen the last of one we'll
known figure in the diplomacy of the
last quarter of century, Mgr Guth-
lin, whose funeral took place on De-
cember 81 at the national French
church of st. Louis, in Rome He was
the Canonist of the French embassy to
the Holy See until the interruption of
diplomatic relations in 1904. Mgr.
Guthlin was an Alsatian by birth and
had shared in all the sorrows of his
country. He studied at the famous
old college of Colmar-which has
within the last two years been sue
cessively taken and re-taken by
French and Germans,-then at the
Seminary of Strassburg, where his
uncle, of the same name, who took
part in the Vatican Council, was. then
professor. He was canonist and au-
thor of. distinction.
He had also been the recipient of
several valuable decorations; gold
medal from the Papacy for heroic
conduct on a field of battle, several
degrees, the French Cross
of the Legion of Honor, and the Rus
sian Order of ST. Stanislaus.

NEW COLLEGE CHAPEL
SACRED EDIFICE RECENTLY
ERECTED ON ST. THOMAS COL
LEGE GROUNDS - COLLEGIATE
CHAPEL is BEING FURNISHED.

Although the new chapel has yet
only the bare essentials for the serv-
ices of the Church, it is already MAX
ing the spell of it's presence felt in the
richer devotional life of the College
Of st. Thomas in st. Paul. Temporary
affairs have been installed, and the in
spring spectacle of nine Masses pro-
ceeding simultaneously twice each
morning has already grown familiar
to the students. The new pews are in
place, telling by their simplicity and
elegance of the furniture that will
complete the beauty and the useful
ness of the lovely chapel.
The plans of the high altar are
ready, but owing to the difficulty of
securing Italian marbles some months
must elapse before it will rise in it's
beauty in the stately sanctuary. The
pipe-Organ is under constructions
fine instrument manufactured by one
of the best firms in the country. Light
ing fixtures will be in place at the end
of February, and the sanctuary lamp,
"a work of special design-will soon
be swinging from the sanctuary arch
Two stained glass windows, for which
donations have been received, are be-
ing planned. They will form part
of series of windows depicting
scenes from the life of our Lord, which
will be installed according as funds
are available for the work A set of
stations carefully chosen will add a
last touch of beauty and devotion to
the chapel. Until some pious soul,
with love for the most touching of all
devotions, will adorn the walls with
scenes of the Passion, simple crosses
must do duty for the stations.
When the new st. Thomas chapel
will be completely equipped with al
tars and windows and stations, it
will yield to no church in the diocese
in it's beautiful and devotional aspect.
1t is matter Of much pride to the
college that the first contribution
made towards furnishing the chapel
was a donation of fifteen hundred dol
lars made by the student body.

LOOT FROM MEXICO

God and the endeavors of Archbishop
Szeptycky. and. the. late Bishop Ortyn.
ski. Archbishops Szeptycky travelled
throughout Russia and brought back
into the Church very great number
of persons belonging to the highest
Russian aristocracy.
Among the converts in Petrograd
was. the sister of the former Russian
War Minister, Sazonoff, who is near
relative of Bishop Fiodoroff, Miss
Sazonoff built, at her own expense en-
st. BasiPs Island, in Petrograd, a
Catholic church for the Slavonian rite,
of which the Rev. Alexander Ivano-
witch Dayjbner was appointed pas
tor. In 1913 this jealous priest was
arrested and exiled by the Russian
Government, but he has returned to
his flock
Bishop Fiodoroff was born in 1880
and was twentysix years old when
Archbishop Szeptycky met him. AS
the young man was himself a mem
ber of an old aristocratic family, he
was interested in the new conversions
and soon fell under the influence of
Archbishop Szeptycky. Fiodoroff join
ed the Church in 1906. He finished
his theological studies in 1909, in
Rome, in the Gregorian and there we
became friends. Having been ordain-
ed, he entered, in 1910, the old Greek
order of the Studites, which was
founded in the fifth century in Con-
stantinople. This order resembles the
Trappists in the severity of it's OBJ
servance.
At present Bishop Fiodoroff is thir-
ty-eight years old and is man of
great talents and holiness of life. He
possesses profound historical knowl-
edge, and notwithstanding his COM
parative youth, wide experience. In
his external appearance he is 4 strik-
ing contrast to the Bishop who Or
dained him. Archbishop Szeptycky
is a giant, over seven feet tall; the
new Bishop of Ukraine resembles a
young Sicilian altar boy, with delicate
figure, dark hair and angel-like
features.

| great drive in the war was made by
Protestant Prussia, the cradle of the
Reformation, and the first heroic
| stand against that on-sweeping force
Of Lutherans was made by the Roman
| Catholic Belgians. Then Roman
Catholic France went to the aid of
Belgium. 1t was not very long be-
fore country after country became in,
volved in the mighty conflict, and the
alignment in every case was purely
political On the one hand we now
see Protestant Germany, Roman
| Catholic Austria, and Mohammedan
Turkey. On the other hand Roman
Catholic Belgium, France, italy, Portu.
gal, and, SO far as sympathy and NOR
al support are concerned, several Ro-
man Catholic countries in South
America; together with Protestant
Britain and the United States.
There is talk of Sweden, Protes.
tant country, getting into the war.
If she does she is considered a likely
ally of Germany. She has been sus.
pected of strong sympathies in that
direction.
In the face of these facts it is Ger.
tainly bold man who will say that
the Roman Catholics are on the side
of Germany, or that the Pope would
sacrifice the interests of numerous
Roman Catholic countries for the
sake of Austria.
In Canada there have been most
fervid patriotic utterances from the
Roman Catholic bishops, Sinnot. of
Winnipeg, and Fallon of London,
Ont. Not content with criticizing the
French Canadians for their attitude,
an attitude which has been encour-
aged by political leaders in Canada
for nearly twenty years, the ultra
Protestant bigots demand the con-
demnation of the whole Roman Cath
olic Church.
How absurd such statements are
will be understood when it is remem-
bered that if it had not been for Ro-
man Catholics the Germans would
have triumphed in the first months
of the war. 1t was the heroism of
the Catholic BelgianS which held
back the great Prussian land Luth-
cram army long enough for the En-
tente Allies to gather together a re-
sisting force and save Paris. The
Belgians did this at the cost of un-
told sacrifice and almost absolute
national suicide. But the heart of
bigotry can appreciate nothing for
long which is to the credit of the ana
thematized.
The Voice holds no brief for the
Roman Catholic or any other. Church,
but it likes to see common fairness
all round. If the voices of the back
biters in certain circles could be
heard all around the world, and if
they were taken seriously, irreparable
harm would be done to the cause of
the Entente Allies.

After dinner | left the trenches
and made a pilgrimage to the graves
Of the first Americans to fall on a
battlefield in France. The village
where they lie is a cluster of square,
fortresslike farm buildings, somber
and untidy, with manure piles under
the front windows all along the single
street. There was nothing, apparent
ly, to distinguish it from hundreds
of other Lorraine villages. If you
were unaware of the American graves
there you would never see them.
At one end of the village behind
the first farm building treeless
pasture slopes southwark, inclosed by
high strong wall. In. the farthest
corner of this pasture and almost lost
in its green immensely are the graves
of some forty French soldiers killed

place, almost within rifle shot of the
German frontier, were confused and
hardly definable. l looked from the
French tombs to the American. These
French graves were three years old
and some of the mounds under which
the Americans lay were barely "a
week old. Over each of the Ameri-
can graves arose a big cross of pine

CATHOLICS In WAR
A NON-CATHOLlC PAPER SHOWS
THAT THE PART PLAYED BY
THE CHURCH is FAlR-IMPAR.
TALLY OF HOLY FATHER.

A recent issue of The Voice, Win
nipeg Labor paper, contained the fol-
lowing editorial protesting against
the work of the mendacious bigots
who charge the Catholic Church with
favoring the cause of Germany, and
pointing to ''the broad facts of the
great war, facts which are patent and
plain to everybody" and which show
the utter folly of the accusation. The
Voice says:
Both politics and religion make
strange bedfelloWs, sometimes, but
more often they excite rancorous ami
mosities. There is no charge which
a politician more dearly loves to hurl
at some one who differs from him
than to assert that the latter is un-
patriotic. Similarly, religious bigot
is not slow to charge a Church with
which he is not in sympathy with be-
ing unpatriotic and disloyal.
For some time, in certain Protes-
tant circles, and in certain papers
which cater to the bigoted element OF
Professionalism, there have been veiled
allegations that the Pope and the Ro
man Catholic Church are in league
with the Kaiser.
In regard to the Roman Catholic
Church the broad facts of the great
war, facts which are patent and plair
to everybody, make the ill-naturef
charges of some bigoted Protestant:
