letter day. Later it was nearly
daily occrrraace
After we reached our staging camp
preparatory to our distribution toward
the battle areas, we were allowed to
visit the neighborhood. [ had my first
glimpse Of Frances famous churches.
[ also had my first glimpse of their
cemeteries. All burying grounds are
different from ours. A family lot oc-
cupies only the space of one, as they
are deep and the collins are laid on
each other The grounds are nicely
kept and there are plenty monuments,
each of which has large cross.
We had much fun here trying to
"parley voo." We also had great sport
trying to understand French money.
Their standard is the franc It's value
is about twenty cents The silver
piece is about the size of quarter
and we spend them like nickels.
Prices go up when a Yank comes in
the door,
Towards the Front.
Soon we LETT and boarded a train.
The cars and engines were about one
fourth the size of our Yankee equip
ment. We rode for three days and
passed through a picturesque part Of
the country, along the seaboard as
yet unhit oy the war The absence of
men was very noticeable. The farms
are all small. The towns and villas
| are set in the valleys at the foot of
the hills. Every hamlet has it's Cath
olic church and there are many
shrines along the roads.
We arrived at our destination near
| Oisemont, which was then not very
| far from the forward area. We were
| assigned to the British army 1t was
at this place we had our first peek at
the Boche plane. They would sail out
or rather, sneak out, shortly after
dark, and prey on innocent towns and
| places. The Tommies gave him
plenty attention as the records now
show
This period was during the early
summer and the climate ideal. The
days were long as daybreak was at
about 400 o'clock and it would not
get dark until about 10000 o'clock at
night
Soon after we left and passed
through various towns along the
Somme River, such as Pont Remy,
Abbeville and contiguous territory,
! finally making semi-permanent camp
/ at Molten au Bois, where we dug our
! selves in. This place was about ten
kilometers from the front and we
could hear the roar of battle con-
stantly. Nightly the sky would be lit
up with signal rockets, flares, etc.
In the Front Trenches.
] l had my first peep at No Mans
Land on the night of July 3, 1917. To
properly describe or depict my feel
ings and what l saw, would have to
i be a Victor Hugo or some other gifted
4 bird. But I'll try to describe some of

JOHN BONZANO,

The revered and lamented Arch
bishop Ireland died September %
1918. Shortly afterwards speculation
arose in many quarters as to who
would succeed him. The Diocese OF
st. Paul has been for many years both
intrinsically and eXtrinsieally impor-
tant. Intrinsically, by reason Of its
SIZE it's institutions and its large and
growing Catholic population. Elk.

episcopal Sees Of the Catholic world

throughout the country who were

Rome, however, has a custom of dis
counting rumors of this nature, as is
apparent in episcopal appointments in
the past. The various Bishops men

The following letter from an Ameri.
can soldier at the-ffaat~to a relative

of the great battle of Verdun which
turned the tide of war. The expert.
ence of the writer is, no doubt, similar
to that of every participant in the
great battle who lives to tell the tale
His reliance on religion in the SUI

Dear Cousin:
Several attempts have been made
by me since my arrival abroad to drop
you line, but for some reason or
other | never got quite settled to write
the tale | wanted to. | am attempting
to narrate my adventure as minutely
as my memory will permit, hoping
that the long story will repay you for
my hardness in not writing sooner.
When the order came to US down

pointed as l was to have gone home at
the time on ten day furlough. How,
ever, as we were going north I had a
slim hope that | would get few min
utes with my folks during the change
of cars at Chicago.
No such luck-tne train although
headed north from st. Louis, took 6
crazy notion and, when within E
distance of fifty miles, turned east.
After four or five days riding we
reached Jersey City, N. j., and board
ing a ferry arrived at Camp Upton, or
Long Island, from which place, if
remember correctly, l dropped you {

All saw of New York City was the
scene from the water-line aboard the
ferries. We were not given passes tt
visit our big city as our stay was in
| definite, but you can bet your last dol
| lar that I will give the little town !;
| whirl or two on my return journey.
We boarded the Mount Vernon

the Goddess of Liberty. Would W.

whole trip. 1t appeared like LAX
Michigan upon which l had mad'
many trips across. I was a look-ou
on the ship. We were constantly ol
the watch for 'subs" but we saw mar,
