Keefe from a K. of C. friend at Camp Gor- don: 0 April 2d, 1918. Rev. and Dear Father Keefe: I am now at Camp Gordon with about fifty thousand men, about half of them Catholics, and all of them feeling at home here; at least, they tell me so. They say that they like to come here, and I surely like to have them. We have two K. of C. chap- lains residing in the building and ail of their time is taken up with the men, answering and, I suppose, asking questions, giving advice- and instruc- tions. It is not at all strange to see one of the fathers sitting between two Jewish young men, or have them ask if they c d not talk to him in his office, or again have some young man tell you that they never belonged to any church but would like to talk with a priest, and then again some careless Catholic come in and say: “I ought to be a Catholic, but have not been to confession for ——, but I know better.” Father, you ought to see them after they have talked to one of the priests and gone to confession. They come back to me and almost go again. It does one good to see so many. realize their former neglect. Our building here holds about 1,600. We had a mission here last week, given by the Dominican Fathers, and the Y. M. C. A. gave us the use of two of their largest buildings for the whole time, and the fathers speak in glowing terms of the courtesy shown them while there. There are in our camp five U. & A. and they certainly were kept busy hearing confessions from 5 a. m. to 9.30 every day and evening, and the first three days of this week, for those who weer at'the range last week and could not come. One of the chaplains had tea with me last night at 11 p. m. and he acknowledged that he was tired and that the tea was good. I have become a good cook, as I do most of my own. Bishop Kirby of Savannah celebrated a military field mass on Palm Sunday on the training grounds. It was a glorious sight and taken part in by, it seemed to me, the whole camp. In fact, I think the whole city of Atlanta came out. The weather here, Father, is beau- tiful; everything in bloom, new pota- toes, cabbages, strawberries and all tkings good to eat, and the boys are the best behaved that the mest partic- jular could desire. I do not think I have heard the name of God taken in vain once, or a wrong word spoken to me. They are a model city in them- selves. Sincerely and fraternally, e I UPPER MIDDLE PROM.

F. Tobin and H. D. Edsell of Montreal and a start was made for that city on the 9.03 train west. Lebeau is charged with desertion and bigamy, the latter allegation being admitted by the prisoner. He belongs in Massachusetts and enlisted in the Canadian forces in 1914. He deserted in May, 1917. He has beem under suspicion ever since he came to the states last sum- mer and under constant sulveillance for several months, and his latest al- leged crime, that of bigamy, closed the chapter. His most recent claim was that he was training American troops at Framingham, Mass. It is possible that he is mentally unbalanced. His worthy relatives have the sympathy of the community.
