MARSHAL F0CH
A STAUNCH CATH LOIRE
LIGlON NO BAR TO HIS PROMO.
TON TO HIGH RANK.

1t is worth while to call general
attention to the series of articles run
ming in THE Queens Work" on the
great Catholic generals of the French
army. Each month this magazine has
published an autographed photo of
some distinguished Catholic French
general, given with an account of the
character and achievements of these
remarkable men. In the June num-
Der of the magazine the article is on
Ferdinand Foch, Marshal and Cath
Ollie, from which we quote:
When great crisis comes, then it
is that men of truest mettle eventual
ly reach the foremost ranks At the
outbreak of the world war General
Foch was commanding the Twentieth
Corps at Nancy under the orders of
General De Castelnau. The Germans
attacked fiercely at Morhange, and
the French were obliged to retreat,
thus giving the occasion for the
genius of Foch first to make itself
manifest by withdrawing in perfect
order when and how he chose. Next
day the battle of the Grand Couronne
was fought, the city of Nancy pro-
tected, and the oldest capital of Lor-
raine saved.
THE retreat of General Foch at
MOrhange after the battle of Metz,
and the defense of Nancy under De
Castelnau were so worthy of honor
that General Joffre recalled him to
take command of the Ninth Army.
At this time the Ninth Army was in
retreat before the Germans rushing
onward toward Paris, and it was
Foch's duty to gather together the
remnants, form them again in line,
and strike as never before 1t was a
critical situation, but Foch could i'm
provise as we'll as leisurely prepare
operations. The line was skillfully
formed, and the famous First Battle
of the Marine was fought, in Septem-
Der, 1914, and Paris was temporarily
saved. 1t was here that Foch uttered
the words that every eulogy will tell
of him: 'Outf1anked on the right,
outfianked on the left Situation on
the whole excellent Am going to ad-
vance,
Born in the village of Tarbes, in
the Pyrenees, of a strongly Catholic
family, Ferdinand Foch was sent to
the Catholic schools of the district,
and at St. Etienne in 1857 he came
under the direction of the Jesuits, and
was solidly grounded by them in the
religious principles that were to rule
his after days. Not of a mind that
showed itself in brilliant strokes, the
boy was rather the hard laborer, the
steady plodder, the constant toiler at
his books. Though he was successful
in literary studies, history was his
passion.
Because he was born of an ancient
Catholic family of staunch loyalty to
the Church and disciplined and reared
in it's traditions it was extremely diff
| ficult for him to rise in rank. He was
known as Catholic, and practical
Catholic, and the opposition would not
suffer Catholic to hold power. But
M. Clemenceau was broad enough tc
appreciate real value Your brother
! is a Jesuit? What do l care about
that, General or rather, M. lie Direc
teur? You are appointed to the Ecole
de Guerre and all the Jesuits in the
world can't change it.

A UNIQUE RECORD
THIRTEEN BROTHERS KILLED IN
WAR-OTHERS WOUNDED - FA-
Their AND DAUGHTERS SHOT
SO CHILDREN IN FAMILY.

Thirteen sons killed on the field of
battle, three discharged with grave
injuries, one wounded four times, the
father and one daughter summarily
shot by the Germans for going to
Lille to celebrate the centennial an
niversay of a relative, and another
daughter killed by a German shell at
Dunkirk, is the record of the family
of M. Vanhee, French farmer Of
Reminghe, near Ypres.
M. Vanhee had thirty-six children,
twenty-five sons and fourteen daugh-
tiers, all of whom were living when
the war broke out.
One of his sons was valet to Pope
Plus X. He returned to France to fight
and was wounded in each of four en-
gagements.
One of the sons lost both legs, an
other returned from the front blind
and deaf, and another underwent the
trepanning operation.

ish. In the evening there was a recep-
ton in honor of Father Doran at the
Palace Theatre where a musical pro-
gram was rendered. At the close of
the program Father Treanor, on behalf
of the parish, presented Father Doran
with a purse of $215. In the course of
his address he referred to the fact
that Father Doran was the third priest
of the Sacred Heart parish ordained
during the past few years, the others
being Father Kramer and Father Nc
Mahon Of Winona. Father Doran
thanked Father Treanor, the Sisters
of the Sacred Heart school of which
he is a graduate, and the people Of
the parish for the many courtesies
shown him on the day of his first
Mass.

Brief Reviews and Notices

St. Thomas Aquinas: Medieval Phil
osophy. BY Rev. D. ]. Kennedy, o.
P. Published by the Encyclopedia
Press, New York.
In this work the author, who is we'll
known in the field of philosophical
writings, endeavors to give a clear
and Ineligible account of the nature
and development of scholasticism.
This system of thought may be said to
have had it's rise in the eleventh cen
fury, and it was first developed in the
theological field by St. Anselm. Many
great thinkers added their share to
the work, until the great ST Thomas
Aquinas rounded up the scattered
treasures and formulated a perfect
system in which the works of
Aristotle hold a prominent part. The
book which Father Kennedy now gives
to the public is an attempt to present
to the lay reader the salient points of
this wonderful system. That the
learned author has succeeded we'll in
his attempt is at once apparent to all.
lreland's Cause: By Seumas Mac
Manus. Published by the Irish
Publishing Company, Box 1900, New
York City. Price $115.
1t is needless to say that a work
from the pen of Seumas MacManus
breathes forth the most fervent love
for Ireland The author first gained
fame as novelist Since then he
has endeavored to present the chief
arguments for Ireland's nationality
to the English speaking public every
where. When America first entered
the great war MacManus was under a
cloud for short time by reason of
his outspoken and vigorous denuncia-
tons of England. At the same time
there is perhaps no living Irishman
better qualified to present the argu-
ments for Ireland's case before the
world than is the author Of this little
work now in its fifth edition The
book is not only interesting for an
Irishman but at the same time it will
prove most enlightening for the aver
age reader. 1t presents in nutshell
just what every person should know
regarding Ireland and her cause.
