Widower Ordained
SAYS HIS FIRST MASS IN THE
SANCTUARY WHERE HE
WAS MARRIED.

An unusual incident occurred in the
Church of Our Lady of Mercy, at Phil
adelphia, recently.
Rev. Charles A. Klauder, a newly
ordained priest, sang his first Solemn
High Mass in the sanctuary where,
fourteen years before, he had knelt
before the altar a bridegroom.
Many in the church recalled the
brilliant wedding scene in which the
priest of today, then young man of
twenty-four, appeared in such diff
ferent role. The bride was Miss Lou
Use Soulas, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gustav Soulas. Six years later Mrs.
Klauder died. They had no children.
The young widower belongs to
religious family. Two of his uncIes
are priests, two of his sisters nuns.
He decided to become a priest, and,
entering Belmont Abbey College,
North Carolina, he studied six years
under the Benedictine Fathers. Re
Gently he was ordained there by Bish-
op Haid.

Bishop Heating Promoted
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF BRITISH
CHAPLAINS.

The appointment of a Bishop Gas
trensis" for the British armies by the
rope has been followed by a rear
rangement at the chaplains depart
ment of the war Office which is of
advantage to Catholics. Hitherto all
the chaplains in the army, no matter
OF what religion or denomination,
were under the control of the princi-
pal army chaplain, who is an Angli-
can bishop and therefor Bishop Keat-
ng's position was rather anomalous
and difficult.
Now the war Office has decided, in
consequence of the great increase in
the establishment, to appoint four prin-
cipal chaplains in addition to the one
belonging to the Anglican Church
one for Catholics, one for Presbyte-
rians, one for Wesleyans and one for
the United Dissenters of all classes.
Bishop Heating has been appointed in
control of all the Catholic chaplains,
as he has already been appointed by
the Pope. He has also a seat on the
joint board OF control of the chaplains
department, which sits at the war Of
fee and his rank and emoluments i'm
prove in proportion.

NO PRIZES LEFT
GRADUATE OF CATHOLIC HIGH
SCHOOL CARRIES OFF
MANY HONORS.

A Catholic boy who entered the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania four years ago,
after his graduation from the Philadel-
phia Catholic High School, has gradu-
ated from the former institution with
a remarkable basketfull of prizes" says
DR.. Austin O'Malley. He is Louis F.
McCabe, and his record makes his
prominent townsmen feel that Phila-
delphians have right to be proud of
their Catholic young men.
While at the university he received
the Phi Beta Kappa prize, which is
awarded by committee of the faculty
to student who has the highest rat
ing in all his courses. At the COM
mencement he gathered in the first
prize in mathematics with the interest
for three years on foundation; fell
lowship in the graduate school; the
senior honors in English with the in
terest for three years on another foun-
dation; the senior honors in Latin,
and the alumni prize for the best Latin
essay, which carries with it the in
terest of year ON another foundation.
The reason he did not take other hon.
ors is that there aren't any others"

CALL FOR SECRETARIES
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS NEED
TWO THOUSAND MORE
MEN.

No better opportunity for war serv-
ice than that afforded by the knights
of Columbus could come to the man
net of military age. The demand for
X. OF C. service by the men with the
cOlors has been so marked in recent
months that it has necesSitated vast
expansion of the plans of the Com
mittee on War Activities, with the re-
suit that the original appeal for 500
men to volunteer as secretaries for
work at the front has been revised.
Now 1000 men are needed, 1000 to be
secured by September Is, and the total
to be enrolled by the end of the year.
During the past month several new
K. of c. buildings have been dedicated,
notably a large auditorium at Camp
Humphrey, Virginia, dedicated by
Right Rev. Bishop Corrigan CT Balti-
more, and one at Tilden, N. Y. On
August Is another large building will
be opened at Pelham Bay Naval Train
ing Station. This camp, being close
to New York, is inundated with Wis
itors at week-ends, and as the visitors
flock to the K. ofNC buildings just as
eagerly as do the enlisted men, the
new building will help largely to solve
the problem of accommodating them.

regime it was made impossible,
though perfectly legal, for any cate
chism to be taught at all in the com
munal schools. At last the president
of the Union of Catholic Women of
Italy managed to break down the bar

On the whole, however, progress has

HERO OF CHATEAU THIERRY is
CITED FOR BRAVERY.

The following officer is recommend
ed for suitable reward for distin-
guished service in the face of the en-
envy:
chaplain Harris A. Darche, U. S.
NJ, in the operation against the enemy
from June l to June IA, rendered serv-
ice difficult to measure. His efforts
in searching for and burying the dead;
in giving cheer and spiritual comfort
to the fighting troops, in handling
working parties and, in aiding the sur
geons, were tireless and fruitful of fine
results. His post, when not at the
front, was under heavy shell fire daily
and performed the last rites of the
Church under enemy fire. His un-
daunted and cheerful spirits were a
daily boon to the wounded and ia

HOSPICE OF ST. JOSEPH
ARCHBISHOP ANNETTE WAS PRES
EMIT IN PARIS.

In the presence of Cardinal Annette
the new tubercular pavilion of the
Hospital st. Joseph was opened re-
Gently in Paris. The pavilion, which
is not quite completed, holds $50 beds.
1t is in an old convent situated in
broad and beautiful park adjoining
the hospital proper, which, it might
here be mentioned, exists solely on
private resources.
M. Hanotaux addressed the assem-
blage in which there were many of
the American Red Cross workers, and
spoke eloquently of the bond between
France and America. France" he
said, founded liberty, while the peo-
pie of America have saved it in COM
ing to our aid"
At the close of the ceremony the
Archbishop of Paris in moving tri-
butte warmly thanked the American
Red Cross, whose generosity had
fathered the construction of the pa
vilion. Many wounded soldiers were
present.

POPE HELPS NEEDY
BENEDICT XIV AND THE WAR
PRISONERS.

From the account which is given in
the Osservatore Romano of the condi-
ton of Italian prisoners who have
been sent by the Germans to work on
railroads in the east, it is evident that
there is need for the efforts of the
committee which was formed the other
day in London to collect information
regarding the condition of prisoners
in Turkey.
The five hundred prisoners whom
Mgr. Dolci, the Papal Delegate, saw
at the Malatepe camp were at the
end of their strength through want Of
food. Many of them had not even
shirts and those that had, had not
changed them for several months. The
men had found it necessary to sell
their clothes to buy bread To their
material privations was added moral
suffering, for they were without friends
or sympathy and uncertain of their
fate" In the name Of the Holy Faith
er, Mgr. Dolci generously came to
their relief He provided for them
new clothes, soap, cigarettes and 9TH
er comforts, as well as good meal,
heard their confessions, said Mass for
them and gave them Holy Communion.
The kindness of the, Holy Fathers
representative has been greatly appre-
ciated, but his resources are, it is
needless to say, limited

CONVERTS In UKRAINE
CONDITIONS ARE VERY PROMIS-
ING FOR RETURN TO THE
CATHOLIC FAITH.

!. The new conditions under which re-
ligious work is conducted in the Tx
raine have been of much advantage to
the Catholics, says the Catholic Times.
Father Zegelskyi, V. G., of Kieff, re-
Gently drew up report OF the Catho-
lie outlook there and in it he describes
the attitude of the people as most
promising. A chapel in the Catholic
Church at Kieff was given up to con-
verts, but it was soon found to be too
small. Then a barrack built on a site
given by the city was used by them
for devotional purposes. That also
does not afford sufficient accommoda-
ton, and a new church is now in proc
ess of construction for the Uniates.
Father Zegelskyi says so many
schismatics are seeking reunion with
Rome that he is exhausted, owing to
the amount of work he has had to per-
form in consequence. Fourteen innate
priests are at work in Kieff, and re-
ligious services take place in the bar
rack and the two Latin churches. The
attendance is very numerous. Cate
chetical classes for the instruction of
converts are held in the Catholic
schools, and the demands on the teach
ers are heavy.
The Catholic Church has reason to
welcome the freedom for religious dis
cussion which was ushered in by the
Russian revolution. In the course of
few years it's position in the Ukraine
will be greatly strengthened.

Rev. Zachary Orun

Rev. Zachary Drum, one of the best
known Ruthenian-G Greek priests in this
country, died last week in the rectory
of the Cathedral of the Immaculate
Conception, Philadelphia, where he
was stationed. Father Drum had just
been made rector of st. Michael's
Church, Baltimore. In addition to be-
ing assistant rector of the Cathedral,
Father Drum was in charge of the mis-
sion school attached to the Cathedral,
where he was active in fostering voca-
lions for the priesthood. He was not
ed as thorough English scholar and
edited the Messenger, printed in his
native tongue, and had just finished
the eighteenth number before his
death. He came to this country from
Gallicia shortly after his ordination in
1909.

Peace Prize for Charity
ROOSEVELT AUTHORIZED TO USE
FUND OF $4,000 FOR WAR RE.
LIEF.

Under a House joint resolution
unanimously adopted last week, Theo-
dore Roosevelt is authorized to use
the Nobel peace prize fund of $4,000
in caring for soldiers in the present
war, and their widows, children and
mothers
This action was taken at the re-
quest of Mr.. Roosevelt, who addressed
a letter to Representative Sullivan
and Senator Williams (Democrats)
suggesting that Congress authorize
him to devote the fund to this pur-
pose.
In. his letter Mr.. Roosevelt said that
the commission created by Congress
in 1907 to use the fund for industrial
peace purposes evidently had found
that use impracticable, since nothing
had been done, and therefor asked
that he be allowed to use the fund
for war purposes above mentioned.
The Nobel prize was awarded to Mr..
Roosevelt for promoting peace be-
tween Russia and Japan.

The Catholic University of America
is collecting all possible information
regarding the service of it's students
in the present war. This information
is collected and kept at the rector's

Christian Brothers Brave
MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND
WITH coLoRs-HERoIsM OF
BROTHER JULIUS.

From official statistics, established
last year, we learn that 1850 Christian
Brothers were then with the colors,
without counting the numerous volun-
teers untiringly devoted to the wound
ed in the many ambulances operated
by the institute. Over one hundred
had given their lives for France, and
125 had been wounded. No less than
seventy-five decorations are shining
on the breasts of the braves.
Among so many heroes, one deserves
to be especially mentioned, Brother
Farmatus-Julius, in the army Lieuten-
ant Rabinel, now dead. When the call
to arms or mobilization was proclaim.
ed, he happened to be in Spain, in the
Hispano-French school of Figueras.
He left Immediately, and upon arriv-
ing at the regiment he said to his cap
tain: IF there is any dangerous mis-
sion to accomplish please remember
that it should not be assigned to my
comrades who have wife and children,
but to me-" Five months later, the
following citation was pinned on his
coffin by General Langle de Cary:
After having taken the southwest
border of the forest des Bouleaux and
made the Germans who occupied it
prisoners, he organized the northern
border of this forest and held it, not
withstanding the enemy shooting and
cannonading, until he fell mortally
wounded. He had made a report to
the commandant of the regiment as
follows: / have but seven or eight
ask for orders; if must stay, will
stay" Heroism and self-denial are
an ancient tradition with the Institute
of Christian Schools.

FEAST OF ST. GEORGE
ENGLISH PATRON Is ONCE MORE
HONORED-SOLDIE
-. WEAR ROSE. \

The great Catholic event of the
week has been the celebration of the
Feast Of the Patron Saint of England,
st. George. Among Catholics the feast
is day of devotion, and in a letter
to the clergy and laity of the Arch
diocese of Westminster, Cardinal
Bourne says: a
This year the Feast of st. George,
the protector and principal patron of
England, should be kept with special
solemnity. He is in a special way the
example and guide of the Christian
soldier, and at this moment the re-
puted site of his last resting place is
under the guardianship OF our own
army
There is special significance this
year, then, in the fact that for the
hrst time, certainly since the Refor-
nation period, the king has given or
ders that soldiers of the British army
may on st. Georges day wear the
saints livery, the red rose or the
small white flag with, st. Georges
cross, in the same manner that the
Irish wear the shamrock on st. Pat
rick's day. The day was made a spe-
cial day of intercession by the Eng
Hsh Catholics for the, success of the
allied arms. At Westminster Ca
thedral Solemn Mass was sung in the
presence of the Cardinal, and at
Southwark, after the celebration of
Pontifical Mass by Bishop Amigo,
there was an outdoor procession
through the streets of Southwark.
In st. Georges Cathedral, South
Wark, there is preserved what is con-
sidered to be the only authentic relic
OF the saint, and this holy relic was
borne through the streets of London,
while the saints intercession was be-
sought for all the allies. In these
same streets of Southwark. where
Catholics are allowed the fullest exer-
else OF their religion, less than three
centuries ago men were drawn at the
cart tail and hanged as feIons with
every mark of brutality for protesting
the Catholic religion. Times have
changed since then, and this year ST.
George comes back to his own as the
protector of armies; the Christian
champion whose name is held in awe
even by the Turks.
