FOE BOMBS MAY TAKE
KEY TO DEATH SECRET
Aged Prior Who Buried Prince Max
Menaced by Mont des Cats Attack
kaiser's Request That Prelate Be
Spared Not Vet Acceded to.

With the British Army in France,
June 30.-There is an interesting de-
velopment in connection with the hos
tile Smelling of the territory around
Mont des Cats, where the famous
Trappist monastery is located. For
weeks the Germans have been bonn
harding this Flemish elevation heav-
lily, and the monks home has been
babdly damaged.
Recently the German emperor wrote
letter to v1e German commander in
this area, asking that Mont des Cats
be spared because the aged prior of
the monastery was the only living per-
son who knew where the emperor's
relative, Prince Max of Hesse, had
been buried after his death in the
monastery in October, ia. The prince
was attached to the cavalry which
occupied Mont des Cats in October
after the outbreak of the war.
During an engagement with British
cavalry, Prince Max was mortally
wounded and taken to the monastery.
While he was being nursed by the
monks his comrades We're driven from
the hill and the British occupied it.
The prince died and was buried in
certain place. the location of which
was not disclosed to the world
The German emperor wrote letter
to the Pope, in which he asked for
information as to where the prince
was buried and requested the return
of the body. The pontiff forwarded the
letter to the monastery. and it was
then that the emperor received the
| famous reply-not until he had evac-
uated Belgium and made just resti-
| tuition would he learn the whereabouts
| of the princes grave.
The emperor now appears to be wor-
| ried that his guns may kill the only
man able to give him the desired in
formation, but his request to spare
the place, if he made such a request,
seems to have met with small response
thus far for big shells continue to
break on the monastery.

A TRUE AMERICAN HERO.

lnOe AMeHIVAN f1sHO.
The Rev. William ]. Farrell, chap
lain of the 10Sd U. S. F. A., wounded
recently while performing deeds of
valor at the front, and now recovering
from his injuries in hospital, writes
to a friend that he longs for the day
when he can return to His Boys"
on the battle lines. Part of his letter
is as follows:
"The papers, no doubt, have shown
you the news that our boys have been
tried out by the Germans and have
proved that they can scrap. If you
were only to see them fight you'd be
the proudest man alive. I've seen
how the American fights; and no
Drawer boys ever fought. I've been
fortunate enough to have had the
chance of hearing confessions for
many. There is Rhode Island ambu-
lance company, composed largely of
Catholic lads. These l had for con-
fessions, Mass and communions. These
ambulance boys deserve credit. They
ran their machines right through she'll
ed roads to get the wounded back to
hospitals.
Zone morning l heard the confess
sion of over seventy Connecticut In
fantry boys from one company. They
also received. That same night they
went in again and the majority came
out for the grave or the hospital. Out
of this company several mornings
had many others for communion;
their fight was game one, and an
innocent one with Gods grace in their
souls.
1--WE have one body of our regiment
in sacrifice place. l was hearing
confessions there, and one lad in par
ticular helped relieve one lad after an
other so that all could get to confess
sion. A few days later picked up his
body.
Sunday morning, a week ago to-
day, just before noon, four out of five
of us got bang or two. l was lucky.
Nothing much. Simply a small frag-
ment through the arm Qeft). It went
through coat, shirt, and without even
breaking bone. Another shell sent a
piece cutting through the counter of
my heavy trench shoe in two pieces,
but never doing anything beyond a
heavy and deep blister-Ill be out of

Sim Fein Plot a Fake.
Lord. Wimborne's, plain implication
that the "Sinn Fein plot" was a fake
created a profound impression. 1t is
pointed out that "the man in the boat,
on whose evidence it mainly depends,
was caught three weeks before Lord
Wimborne resigned the Viceroyalty,
that Lord Wimborne knew all there
was to know about him and the fur.
Their fact, which has a peculiar sig.
nificance in Ireland, that this mys-
FERROUS individual is former police
man.
The Premier will find it hard to
maintain his position that, in no cir
cumstances, will he produce the evil
dence of the Sim Fein plot. His re-
fusal has proved most valuable as
set to the Sim Fem.
