Bishop Hayes Returns to New York.
The Rt. Rev. Patrick J. Hayes, Aux
iliary Bishop of New York and chap
lain general of the Catholics in the
United States Army and Navy, has re-
turned after being absent from the
city since December 6. Bishop Hayes
visited every camp and cantonment in
the South and West and he stopped
to see each Bishop in the same terri
tory. He wished to thank the pre-
lates in person for releasing so many
of their priests from parish duties to
serve as chaplains overseas and in
the camps and naval stations at home.
Bishop Hayes has the duty of seeing
that all these clergymen, of whom
there are nine hundred, return to their
respective dioceses.
