HOW A HERO OF WAR IS WELCOMED HOME AFRICA Described by Young Priest From Dark Continent, Who Had Deen Asked To Take Part.

ev York World 1 The welcome to the rTth dirision on its retura home- was a rather trrand affair and thriiled the boys tremendously, but there are other warriors In other lands who, manasre without electrical illumination and jarz bands to celebrat their return from a -rlctorioua war In Qnite aa thrillins amanner. If onaiamor John J. Dunn Is head of the Society for the Prooaaration of the Faith here in New Tor, and as such haa to pro xr id for the maintenance of the missionaries to foreiim landa Most of hia mail consists of pathetic appeals Tor help how' 119 a year will support a catecitst, how $7.80 will put a new roof the but in which services are held, and how a few dollars here and a few dollars there will relieve an unbelievable amount of misery In African wilds. But not ail of hs letter are of that sort. Many of the jounr priests vary their appeals with intereatinjr stories of the customs and habits of thoughts of thos a more; whom they labor.

Father G. Bouma, who labors in a section of Africa called Kavirondo. contributed the following; In a recent communication: "Ii was only rex-ently one of our catechumens returned from the East Africa battle field and put to me the following 'Am I. a catechumen, allowed to submit to the native cu Atoms In xotrxje and applied to one who has killed an enemy?" 'Well. I answered.

come back tomorrow. I am hard pressed for time Just now, and surely you'll stay over a day to see your friends here at the mission? "Of course, he could manajre to stay over.
