The only whisky on hand at the hospital was fifteen ouarts. sent here when the hospital was being stocked with medicine, and the same fifteen quarts are still in the supply room. To the man of limited education Uncle Sam is proving a big benefactor, and when peace is declared and the men now In the Army can again take up industrial pursuits, it will be with a greater vision and better equipped to fight the battles of life than when they were selected for service.

Cummings, that tho greatest progress is being made. In making his report to the Adjutant General of the Army, Gen.

and other Catholic chaplains with Gen. Pershing's army are frequently mentioned in letters from soldiers as having rendered heroic service since Gen. Foch began his great offensive, and it is noticeable that those warmest in their praise of the soldier priests are non-Catholics. Two Knights of Columbus chaplains were awarded tho Croix de Guerre and others have been mentioned for valiant service. That the soldiers are extremely fond of these chaplains is evidenced by this excerpt from a letter sent home by Lt.

Howard W. Arnold, 165th Kegt, a non-Catholic, in which he saW: "Every one, living and dead, has done gloriously. No one really stands out, except perhaps Father Duffy one can't help but love him, and he's just as good a friend to us non-Catholics as ho is to his own flock.
