SERVED IN FRANCE
 WITH K. OF C. UNIT
Only Local Man Called For K. of C.. Service is Spending a Few
 Days in This City.

Jeremiah J. Coffey, son of Mrs Ann Coffey of s7 Fremont street, and who was the only representative of this city in the K. of C. war work service during the war, is in the city for a few days. Coffey returned from France last week after serving six months on the other side in American hospitals and cantonm ents. He will return to the central headquarters of the Knights of Columbus In New York in a few days and expects to re- ceive his discharge from war work service at that time.
 Coffey wears the "F'leur- de-1is'' in signia denoting that he was connected with the branch of K. of c. service having no set station but was liable to transfer to any part of France with a few hours notice. The greater part of his period overseas was spent, how ever, in and near Paris and for sev- eral months he was connected with the welfare department of the Nantes military hospital He was later con- nected with another hospital near Nantes maintained for the cure of shell-shock and temporarily insane soldiers and marines While in Paris, Coffey and some other K. of c. secre- taries were given an audience with Cardinal AJr ette, the head of the dio- cese of Paris and the local man re- ceived a number of souvenirs from the cardinal.
 His return from France was an eventfu1 one, having been caught in a storm at sea, for several days. During that time 16 marines on board the ship died. Before receiving his call from the K. of c. war work, Coffey was employed as head of the stock de- partment of the Stanley Rule and Level company.
