Prelate.
SECRETARY WAS A MArNsrAY,


The courageous work of the
Catholic chaplains in France has not
been in vain! This comforting
assertion is borne out in the reports
from all parts of the United States
regarding the attitude of the thou
sands of returned soldier men to-
ward, the church. The soldiers and
sailors have gone back to their
homes unstinting in their praise of
the chaplains and their lay CO.
workers, the knights of Columbus
secretaries. The functioning of the
priest during the times when a
critical movement was under way:
the soleace which the soldiers were
momentous period, when going
over the top" was but few hours
ahead-when confessions were heard
on a shell-scarred road with death
dealing contraptions from the enemy
whirring on all sides-have left an
impression and steadfastness of
purpose in thousands of the men
who before the war were consider
ably lukewarm toward their church
duties How illustrious a role the
Catholic chaplains played in the
theater of the World War.
Long before the American nation
struck against the Germans we heard
of Cardinal Mercier. Today we see
this gigantic figure of the Belgium
of 1914-17 feted and acclaimed ir-
respective of religious tenets. How
proud all the Catholic world is of
this heroic prelate, the mainstay in
the war ravaged towns and cities OF
the Belgians. The French army
chaplains were "the bravest of the
brave" They fought. performed
their duties to dying soldiers and
were literally decorated with all the
honors which the French Republic
could give.
No propaganda or victory in the
A. e. F. could have ever implanted
the morale. and tenderly developed
it up to the days of the armistice
at Sedan, that the Catholic chaplains
and Knighs of Columbus workers
gave to our soldiers. From the
priest in his khaki uniform the boys
received the consolation which only
the church could give. They made
the men marvel at their bravery.
They crawled across gnarled ground
and behind shrubbery which was
being withered by machine gun
bullets and gave spiritual consola-
ton to our wounded men; repaired
them physically and mentally to the
extent that they knew they were
prepared for death.
Close behind the priest came the
Knights of Columbus man. ready to
carry his man to dressing station,
to give the soldier cigarette, to
take down the last words of a mere
boy who. in his Authorizations from
the wounds and strain of the battle,
realized that Casey" could be relied
upon to fetch that story home to
mother. whether he was Catholic.
Protestant or Jew.

FEEIING TRIBUTE.

1t. is very gratifying to the devout
Catholic to have persons outside the
fold utter sentiments of respect,
reverence or veneration for the
Blessed Virgin. Mary is our adj
vocate and our queen; but above all
her other titles to our love is the
fact that she has been given to us
as our mother by our Divine Lord
Himself. Therefore 1t is with feel
ings of keen appreciation and heart
felt gratitude that will be read the
following beautiful tribute. paid by

MILK AND HoNEY--AGAIN
Macon Telegraph

What has happened to 1000 IN Az
lanta, the sudden drop of prices on
table staples from twenty-five to thir-
ty cents in one day, is just what Will
be happening all over the country
within the next few days, or weeks at
the most. The war demand is on
and the food market is easing on
and it will ease off further regardless
of what artificial efforts may be tenn
porarily exerted by interests holding
it to sustain the price until they
can get out from under" the noun
tain of high-priced commodities they
are caught with on hand.
| 1t meant something when the price
of dairy products started falling like
burntout rocket in Chicago the 9th
err day. 1t was not merely manipula-
ton on the market by some Of the
men selling short" 1t was instead
the response of great wholesale
market to the changed conditions
rapidly setting in everywhere. 1t will
take some little time for the lower
prices to work themselves all out and
through the country to retail count
ers, but they are bound to come and
will stay when they do arrive. The
local wholesalers and retailers are
too far removed from the source Of
the market for it to hit them all at
once in its changed quotations, and
most Of the goods they have on hand
at high prices existing under war con-
ditions will be sold to the customer
mostly at the war prices. Else the
merchant will lose money, and none
of them like to do that. q
What has happened in Atlanta is
that the market there has been CEN
tered by some interests operating In
depently VIII obegan to offer standard
food products by retail on the basis
of the new prices at the great cen
tiers. The others had to meet their
quotations or lose all instead of q
part of what they had tied up in
stores Of food acquired at war prices
Much food in Atlanta is today un'
doubleday being sold for loss, at
less than was paid for it two or three
months ago. The same sort of thing
is liable to happen in Macon any day
Some merchants will suddenly find
themselves buying on the new and
|, more normal market at much lower
prices and will of course take advan
tage and cut prices largely. The rest
will lhave to follow suit and take
their losses or go ut of business. i
will not be pleasant for the business
houses which stand to lose, but Il
is bound to happen on breaking

tainly breaking

UNCERTAIN As TO SOLDIERS
Major League Players May Not Be
Released In Time 70 Get Back
for Spring Practice.

There Is still much uncertainty
about the prospects for getting back
In time for spring practice all 0f the
major players now In the military and
naval service. One theory wss that
General March intended to discharge
soldier players as sooD as might be.
irrespective Of the denobilfzxtioo Of
their units. The other Theory was
that General March would do no S1ch
thing. He had recommended baseball
so highly as a sort of sesni-publie util-
ity that many thought he would make
exceptions for the athletes In the
army, but that is beginning to be
doubted, and no man CON say at pres
ent precisely what material the clubs
will have when they count noses.
II might be mentioned, by the why,
that the Eighty-ninth DIVISION in
which is the artillery regiment con-
thinning Clarence Mitchell and Chuck
Ward Of the Superbas. and Grover
Cleveland Alexander Of the Cubs. has
left its former camp on the old battle
line. and has Joined the troops adj
