CARDINAL GIBBONS
PRAISES WOUNDED
brought Back Grandest Dec.
orations," He Tells Them.


BALTIMORE, June S.-"You have
brought back with you your wounds.
which are the grandest decorations you
can possibly possess" declared Cardinal
Gibbons speaking this afternoon to con-
valescent wounded and their nurses In
tl1e Red Cross hut at Fort McHenry.
Cardinal Gibbons referred TO himself
as possibly the senior chaplain Of the
United States. II served here at Fort
McTIenry from the beginning OF the civil
war until its close, and during that Pc
Rod I witnessed many scenes most
touching to the heart" he said.
A large section OF the hall was 90
cupied by nurses. and to them the Car
dinal paid q glowing tribute.
Declaring that he did not, OF course,
know how long his hearers we're to
remain in the hospital, he earnestly
hoped they would soon be Joined TO
their families, where the embrace OF
mothers and sisters would in a large
measure compensate for the trials and
hardships they had suffered.
Possibly all of you have not brought
back with you medals and honors but
each OF you has brought back the
greatest decoration you can possibly
possess, your honorable wounds. For
these your children and your chihren's
children will rise vp and call you
blessed" he concluded.
