pipe.
Back in 1894 the records show that
German officers, campaigning with
the Duke Of York in Holland, were
inveterate smokers, and in The
French army in 1888 there was ian
issue of one pound a month of to-
bacco to every soldier.
But nevertheless there have been
famous soldiers who disliked tobacco
as much as the Duke of Wellington
who smoked but once, after dining
with the Duke of Cumberland at
Portsmouth, and then more to oblige
the Duke than anything else. Il is
related also that General Butcher, in
1907, noted with horror that many
OF his officers were in the habit of
smoking in the streets and other pub
lie places even though in uniform.
So he issued an order in which the
practice was denounced, and forbid
den to all Prassian officers under his
command.
There is, however, so little Ameri-
can tobacco left in Coblenz that the
argument of this German observer
seems to be justified; gathered all
together and issued to a couple of
companies of American dtughboys. it
probably would last them not more
than one day.

Priest Says Mass
In French

Paris, Feb. ia French military
chaplain, at present with the troops
in the Ruhr, is the only Roman Cath.
Ollie priest in the world permitted to
say mass in a language other than
Latin. During the war he was oper.
ated upon successfully for a shrapnel
wound in the head. When he recov-
cred and attempted to read his breyi-
airy he found that he had forgotten
all the Latin he had learned in college
and seminary.
After several attempts to say mass,
the priest went to Rome in order to
obtain from the Supreme Pontiff,
authorization to say his mass in
French. He bore numerous medical
certificates but Cardinal Gasparri in
sisted that the priest be examined by
doctors attached to the Vatican.
Their report was to the effect that
the priest had completely lost his
Latin"
Piux XII granted the request and the
priest, thanking Cardinal Gasparri,
said that no other event in his life
had caused him such happiness.

MY DEAR SON:

while Priscilla Bradford was tearing
up my house, preparatory to moving
out.
Although that was two weeks ago,
l am feeling physically very much
better. l am still rather. mixed up

ones mind, John, when one gets to
be as old as I am.
Although at first / was SURF /
was not going to like the young wo-
man, whom you had asked to live
with me, am glad that the doctor
decided she should come, for l have
been pleasantly disappointed. She is
most considerate of my prejudices
(and Ihave come to think l have
many) and careful, indeed, of my
physical ailments.
John, since l have been home ]
have had much time to think. Per-
haps because officious friends have
told me Of the scandalous gossip that
Priscilla Bradford has circulated in
the village, l have come to the con-
clusion that after all the confidence
! reposed in her, Priscilla Bradford
is not the woman thought her to be.
You see; it seemed to me that a girl
with such distinguished ancestry
must be truthful and kindly. She
was not this and l know now that
she encouraged me in my unreason-
able dislike Of Leslie.
John, l must confess Priscilla
Bradford is gossipy old maid, and
