Chaplain o'Reiliy, Theology lnstruc-

Gassed.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1S. 1919
The Come Back" published for and
by the soldier patients at Walter Reed
General Hospital and said to be "the
only one-legged newspaper in the
whole world that stands on both feet, "
gives an interesting account of the
service rendered in the world war by
Father O'Reilly, known as the Fight
ing Chaplain" The article says:
According to the best stories that
have come back from the front, any
old place that Chaplain O'Reilly has
pulled his boots off for the night has
been home to him since he left his
chair of theology at the Catholic Uni
versity more than year ago.
There are not many soldiers who
know that at least on one occasion a
chaplain had command of an artillery
battery and that one chaplain, namely
Chaplain O'Reilly, held down for.
ward observing post for his battalion
through nearly forty.eight hours when
the fatal German push started over
the Marne, July IA last summer.
That's just what Father O'Reilly
did, and that's one of the reasons he is
wearing the Distinguished Service
Cross that General Pershing said he
deserved.

General Dyeman in command of the
Third Division had the 10th Field Ar

this regiment and was ordered to &C
out and hold the forward observation
post. He was there the afternoon ant
night of the 14th of July watching the
Huns come on and sending back firing
data on their position. All night the
Boche stormed the American troops
and in the morning in the thick of the
attack they sent over gas. The chap

From the Knights Of Columbus War
News Service No. 461 Fourth
Avenue, New York City.

Records disclose that about third
of the returned soldiers, sailors and
marines applying for work through
the Knights Of Columbus employment
bureaus are placed in positions within
one week after making application.
AS the knights have, in some cities,
half a dozen Councils, each working
as an employment bureau, the total
number of men for whom work is
found is large. The knights, in this
work, cooperate with the Government
Labor Department.
To inform employers regarding the
men returning from Europe who de-
sire and are eligible for jobs, the
knights have instituted card system
that covers every avenue of informa-
tiOn.
These cards, issued by the K. of c.
committee on war activities cooper
ating with the United States employ
ment service, call for detailed in
formation regarding the soldier, his
qualifications, experience, etc. He is
asked to state where he worked before
and where he now desires to work.
The cards are presented to returning
troops while at sea, giving the men
ample time to fill them out.
Before the soldiers debark on this
side the cards are collected by the X.
Of G. secretaries, who forward them to
headquarters at New Haven, where
they are, sorted and then sent to the

finding service in the locality where
the soldier desires employment.
Throughout the process, the knights
cooperate closely with the federal EN-.
ployment service, all X. of G. agents
being required to consult United
States examiners in charge.
In this way through its LOO Coun-
cils, through it's secretaries engaged in
transport work and it's secretaries at
naval stations and home camps, the
Knights bring to the problem of re.

FIRST AFTER-WAR PILGRIMAGE
LOURDES.
(By G. P. Al

Rome.-His Holiness, Pope Benedict
XIV, is greatly pleased at the reports
he has received of the success, the
piety and the devotion of the first of
the proposed after-war national pill
grimages to Lourdes. He has sent a
telegram of congratulations, imparting
the Apostolic Benediction to the Ital.
ian pilgrims, whom he himself led on
pilgrimage to the Madonna of the
Pyrenees before his election to the
papacy.
League Of Nations.
Nowhere has the carrying into ac-
tion of the idea of society of nations
caused more pleasure than at the Vati-
can. The Osservatore Romano, in an
evidently authoritative article, con-
graduates President Wilson sincerely
upon having successfully carried
through the great scheme, so similar
in its provisions to the lines indicated
by Pope Benedict in August, 1917, but
which much Of the world at that time
considered Utopian. The article in the
Osservatore was written before the
constitution of the League of Nations
was published; but l have excellent
reasons for saying that the perusal of
the text Of the epochial document,
which has just been issued at Paris,
has, II anything, increased the gratifi-
cation of the Vatican.

Card. eourne's Visit Through East In
tended to Calm Catholic Fears
Of British Power.

London, Jan. 22.-The visit of Car
dinal Bourne to the Orient has spe-
cial significance as we foreshadowed.
He is now in the Holy Land. He left
Cairo on January 7th for Jerusalem,
whence he will pass on to CONSTANT
nople and the Black Sea fleet Dur
Ing his sojourn in Cairo and Alexan-
dria he visited all the British troops
the leaders of the Catholic community.
Not only did he make a point of seeing
British Catholics, but he also made a
very special point of getting into touch
with foreign Catholics and their COM
munities; and this procedure he will
follow as he passes through Palestine.
His eminence understands there has
been great deal of misapprehension
amongst the foreign Catholic commu-
mites on the ground that the British
Government is Protestant, and may in
terfere with their works. The Cardi-
nal, however, considers that, while the
Established Church of this country is
Protestant, the British Government is
neutral, and as a Christian Govern.
ment is prepared to treat similarly all
exponents of Christianity.
French Protectorate.
The Cardinal, who has, no doubt
been confirmed in this view by the gov,
ernment itself, proposes to place it be-
fore those French communities in the
East, where hitherto France has been
the only Christian power of any force
against the infidel. There is no doubt,
however, that France will resent any
interference with her thousand year
old protectorate of the Christians in
the East, for that protectorate and
privilege has endured till now, des.
pite the changes in her rulers and
governments.
Another matter which may engage
the Cardinal when he arrives on the
Bosphorus is the return of the great

DEATH OF COL. SIR MARK SYKES.
Leading English Catholic Statesman,
Diplomat, Author, and Friend
Of ireland,

Paris.-Lieut.-C Col. Sir Mark Sykes,
Bt., who came here with the British
delegation to the Peace Conference, is
dead following an attack of influenza.
Lieutenant Colonel Sir Mark Sykes
was born March 16, 1879. He was
educated by the Beaumont Jesuits
and at Jesus College, Cambridge, and
soon afterwards entered the British
Army, serving in the South African
campaign and later being in COM
mand of various regiments in Eng
land. He wrote number of books
and was contributor to the Journals
and Reviews.
Sir Mark was one of the few Cath
olics in the public life of England
who ever really accomplished any
thing. He was power in English
political life, and marked for the
highest office in England that of
Premier. He was a consistent friend
of Ireland since his entrance to the
House of Commons in 1911. He was
the only son of the late eccentric
Sir Tatton Sykes, Bt., of Sedmere,
Yorkshire, and his wife, Jessica,
daughter of the Rt. Hon. George
Cavendish-B Bentinck, M. P. Lady Sykes
became Catholic and reared Sir
Mark in the Faith.
Sir Mark was recognized author
fly on Turkey and the Far East and
had written several books on those
countries.

The children of Ireland throughout

the Holy Father to hasten the day of
beatification of the Little Flower. The
petition has been widely signed and
will shortly be sent to Rome. 1t is be-
ing held up that those who have suf-
fered from influenza, which has been
raging in Ireland, shall have an oppor-
tunity of adding their names to the

Urge CONVERTING Santa
SOPHIA INTO CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Church of Santa Sofia to the Christian
faith for which it was built. Already
an Anglican Committee is demanding
this of the government, and urging all
Christians to unite with them in this
demand. The question will be to what
religion will the church be surrender
ed. 1t should be to that faith for
which it was built and which still en-
dures. Before the war the face of the
great mosaic Christ above the en-
trance was commencing to appear once
more from beneath all the Mohamme-
dan decorative work, wherewith it was
covered; and it was said that this por-
tended the return of the Christians.
Now, that this is realized, Santa Sofia
should become the Basilica of the
Eastern Rite of the Catholic Church,
the st. Peters of the Orient, always, of
course, inferior to the Roman Basilica,
but receiving from it mission to the
East.
Chaplains Honored.
In the late list of honors, and one of
the last which will be issued, several
Catholic chaplains figure. Father Gu
turier, a Dominican of the Palestine
Force, receives the o. B. E. (Order of
the British Empire), which ranks
higher in military circles than the D.
S. o.; and Father Workman, the Ca.
madam chaplain-in-chief, receives the
same distinction, which is also con-
ferred on Father Purdie, who served
with the troops at Salonika. Four
chaplains, Fathers Ingram, Leonard,
Dolan and Roche, receive the Military
Cross, and Father Calderbank, Fran.
ciscan naval chaplain, receives the
Cross of the Legion Of Honor.
A regular chaplain, Father O'Farrell,
who celebrated his silver jubilee the
other day at Aldershot and who had
made his house into club for the
Catholic chaplains from all parts of
the world passing through, received
from the chaplains, in token of their
gratitude and esteem, a gold mon,

Benedictines Who Found Refuge from
kuIturkampf Now Forced to Re-
turn to Land that Once
Exiled Them.
YEAR OF PILGRIMAGEs.

London.-An interesting event was
the departure of some twenty-thr
German Benedictines, the majority of
the Community of Erdington abbey
near Birmingham, who were deported
last week to Germany. Their position
is not quite the same as that of other
communities, where there happens to
be an alien monk or so. Erdington was
a German foundation, and the monks
of this abbey received refuge and hos
pitality in England when they were
driven forth from their own country
in 1876 by the laws of the Kultur-
kampf. England was not at that time
in the happy spiritual position she is
now. She was only just emerging into
the second spring; and the spiritual
progenitors of the Erdington commu-
nifty were received by Bishop Ulla-
thorne, one Of the Wears apostolic of
those times. 1t was twenty years later
that the community, now flourishing,
was able to build their fine abbey.
Now the war sends them back to the
country which had no use for them
forty years ago. The departing monks
made tour of the church and affairs
before they left; singing a High Mass
at quarter to six a. M, after Low
Mass of Communion. One lay brother
died, and two Czechs were allowed to
remain. The work will now be carried
on by the English Province of the Or.
der.
Year Of PiIgrimages.
The year 1919 will be celebrated for
its pilgrimages. Immediately it is pos.
sible, pilgrimages to Lourdes will be
resumed and American soldiers will
have the pleasure not only of visiting
this sacred spot, but of seeing it in all
it's spiritual splendor.
A pilgrimage of the war widows of
France to Rome to attend Mass said
by the Holy Father for the repose of
their husbands souls is now being ar
ranged. The widows have provided
everything for the altar for this his
toric occasion, including vestments. or
naments, furniture, ETC., all of the fin
est quality.
The French Committee of Lourdes
Pilgrimages will conduct a national
pilgrimage of officers and soldiers and
sailors of the French army and navy
with their families in thanksgiving to
the feet of the Madonna of the Pyre-
nees. This will probably take place in
May or June, and is quite distinct from

THAT WHEAT
GUARANTEE.

Because of his price guaran-
tee of 1925 a buahel Uncle Sam
stands to lose frem so cents to
a dollar on every bushel of
wheat harvested this year. Hav-
ing made this guarantee to the
farmer he will make it good
That is Uncle Sans way.
But what is the Farmer go
ing to do for Uncle Sam in the

Europe is buying wheat right
now from the big accumulations
of the last two or three years
in Argentine and Australia at
something like S1.50 a bushel.
Without the government
guarantee the American farmer
would be getting no more than
this price now. And be doing
well at that.
If he is to retain the respect
of the American public, if he is
to continue to be regarded as
the backbone of the nation, he
must do his part in this next
bond issue.
