Many thousands of worshipers and visitors are expected to make pilgrim- ages to the Washington Cathedral dur- ing Easter week, beginning with the Palm Sunday services today; and many hundreds of thousands, it is expected, will hear the Good Friday services, to be broadcast for three hours over a Na- tion-wide network from the Mount St. Alban edifice on April 3, from noon until 3 o'clock. Each year at this time multitudes | are attracted by the dual opportunity of | taking part in the services held in the | chapels of the Cathedral, and of view- ing one of the great church structures of the world in the process of construc- tion. It is believed that more than 25,000 visitors will journey to the cathe- | dral hillside during Easter week alone.

To the Editor of The Star: HIS is a bit of the history of one of the very last survivors of the dogs who were at the front from nearly the commencement to the finish of the great war, a dog that was on four fronts, Beigian, English, French and American, from his birth to the armistice, and at all times under gun fire. The mother of this interesting little dog, & wire-haired terrier, was picked up by Maj. Melvin Hall, D.'S. O., among the ‘ruins of Dickybush, few muu out of Ypres. just after the first battl of Ypres. She was an attractive h"l! animal, though half starved and in poor shape, so Maj. Hall took her to his bil- let in Poperinghe, & few miles on the other side of Ypres. Here she gave birth to a fine litter of pups, but shortly after a disaster occurred. Maj. Hall was then serving with the British Intelligence Service in the sal- fent, with headquarters in Poperinghe. One evening during an attack upon the town from the air a bomb pene- trated the house and, entering his of- fice, exploded there, wrecking the whole house, and killing or wounding everal of the staff. At that moment Maj. Hall was ta'king with his orderly and the mother dog was resting at his feet; both soldier and dog were killed and badly mutilated. Maj. Hall. how- ever, was not injured, and says that all he remembers about the occurrence was seeing in the air about him several lit- tle dogs, which had been sleeping in & basket in the far corner of the room. | One of these was Dickybush. The rest of the little family was killed or disap- peared. Prom that time Dickybush was his owner's constant compsnion on both the Belgian and British fronts, until America joined the war, when Maj. Hall was’ transferred to the United States Army, taking the little dog with him to Chaumont, then the American headquarters. Later they went to- gether through the battle of Chates Thierry, then for some time in the Ver- dun sector, and afterward through the campaign of the Argonne, terminating with the armistice at Sedan. Dickybush may fairly be said to have had a wider experience of war than most of his race and breed. The pic- ture, taken years after the war, shows a tranquil Dickybush still full of fun and as playful as kitten, but the peaceful Mediterranean shores have taught him to be a pacifist and he ob- Jects strongly to the sound of guns and cannon, : ‘WILLIAM AUGUSTUS HALL.
