FATHER O%'FLAGHERTY
PRIEST WELL KNOWN IN MADI
son KILLED IN FRANCE.

A Washington, ID. c., correspond
emit gives the following story of
Father O'Flagherty. his friendship
for the soldiers. his activities on the
battlefield and his death while in the
line of duty. Father O'Flagherty
was known to many people in Mad
ison, coming here direct from col
lege to take final instruction from
Father T. A. Flynn of this city. pre-
ceding his ordination. The Wash
ington writer says:
When the 28th infantry came out
of the line in Argonne to sprawl in
well earned rest, any visitor to the
candle-lit billets or to the little Oc-
tober campfires was sure, sooner or
later, to hear the talk reach the name
of their lost friend and priest, Father
lO'Flaherty. killed in action at Very,
France, October, 1918.
Then is the time to get at the
truth about a man, because after such
a battle death seems far too common
q thing for any one to have pretty
nothings said about him just because
he is dead.
One night, when the fog dimmed
the light of the full moon they were
talking about Father O'Flaherty-a
chance miscellany of officers and
men. gathered around a sunken fire,
where, on a sizzling griddle. someone
was turning flapjacks made from a
supply of recently acquired German
flour.
