"Most Rev. Archbishop" he said "the
situation consequent upon the fateful
events that have transpired and that
are continuing to do so, it is the con-
vlctlon of your clergy that you may
face confident and unafraid. You have
all the requirements, in their Judgment,
that are necessary to meet any demand
that may be made upon you in the ad-
ministration of this archdiocese. You
bring to 1T all the qualities of mind,
heart and soul that make you a worthy

Cardinal Farley, who is in spirit with

Tribute Of Chaplains Paid
The Rev. George ]. Waring, chaplain
of the 1th United States Infantry, was
spokesman for committee of chap
lains composed Of the Revs. John j.
Brady, James j. Ifoulihan, Eugene d.
Mcdonald and Francis Hart. He ad-
dressed Archbishop Hayes in terms
that indicated the real affection the
chaplains felt for their former captain
general, saying, in part:
I'm February, 1913, when you ac-
lively took up your work as chaplain
BISHOP, there were only a handful Of
priests in our army and navy. When
the armistice was signed in November
1918, you had the largest diocese in
the world. Furthermore, it was not
only perfectly organized, but it was
operating smoothly and successfully
On the latter date there we're 100000
soldiers and sailors in the service and
you had 1900 priests already serving
in camps in America and Europe OF
awaiting appointment.
Your diocese stretched across the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans Wherever
there was q Catholic soldier or sailor,
there your spiritual authority was be-
ing exercised. Your five vcariates in
cluded the Philippines, Hawaiian ISL
ands, Alaska, the United States, Pan
anna, Porto Rico, Ireland, England,
France, Italy, Belgium, Germany and
Russia. You yourself visited every
section of the United States. Your
vicars-g general visited Europe, when,
owing to the death of your late la
mented predecessor, father and friend,
Cardinal Farley, you found it impossi-
bic to go yourself.
From your Wears and from all your
chaplains you have received monthly
reports. Those of us long familiar with
military and naval affairs consider it
to be most remarkable achievement
during the war that you had your hand
constantly on the pulse of the work
which was being done by your priests
and Catholic welfare organizations in
every section Of your almost world
wide diocese. No wonder, then, when
was IN Rome recently, the Holy Father
and the Cardinals of the Consistorial
Congregation expressed to me in most
glowing terms their admiration of your
phenomenal organization and admins
trative ability. 1t is not astonishing
J therefore, that when the church needed
, TO govern the important diocese of Now
York, you were selected"
