W-x ,:^Mi&\ Au : Colonel "Bill" Donovan of the 165th Infantry (left), and Father Duft'y, the regimental chaplain, both of whom made great recorda on the battlefields of France. Falher Duffy Sings Praises OfAU of 69th Bul Himself With a hroad smile on his tnnned face, but his Distinguishcd Service | Cross securcly out of Bight, Father Prancis P. Duffy, gamo chaplain of tho fightlng GfJth, came homo yester day with his regiment. The newspnpers had formed the habit of calling him Chaplain-Major DufTy "Forget tlint," ho said. "I'm Father Duffy. "I'm not u major, anyway," he added. "1 waa promoted to that rank by some A. E. F. order overseas, but it didn't go. I'm like Kipling'a Private Mulvanoy, who said '1 was a corporal once, but I've been rejooced.' My rank is that of captain. But rank meana nothing to a chaplain. "Of course"?and his eye twinkled "there are certain thrille when you \ draw your pay voucher. However, I'll stick to 'Father Duffy.' " No Qulet Escapc for Him . II was "Father Duffy" all right, and no one elso, when the chaplain walkcd off tho Hobokon pier. He had planned to slip quietly away in an autom ibile w ith Colonel Donovan to Lho llotel Bel mont, But there w ai n't a chani e, Pive hundred men, women and ehil dren, communic nt of t he Church of Our Savioar, I'he Bronx, ! ather Duffy's old pastorate, were clamoi ng it ihe pier gntos, w:ivi!,|v r.. and - houl in? t hemi elves honrae. l i o pii sngi w1 > to the pier encloauro ia vorj narrow, but tt was all a dozi n hu . unrds and military polico could do to koep ihe throng from ruahing in. The chaplain vent urod into i ho gato way. In a momenl ho found I sui rounded by a hilarioualj cxcitod I'i'i'ii d which v\ ould nol he dcnicd ai cess to their belo i i ? tor, Hello, father," "Oh, father!" "Gco, wc're glad j ou'i o 1 ai ' " "1 seo you are,1' hc grinned, nnd shook hands with a scon or two, Guards Clear Linc of Rotreat By thia time tl had cleared a way behind it was ii < ble to do so in front and Father Duffy re treated to the incloaure, 'i he joyful mob still stormed the gate, and it 'was , dccided to make a hasty sortie to the ncxt one. But the delegation from The Bronx was there ahcad of him. j 1: looked as if they'd have to call out the police reserves to escort the chap? lain to the street. Finally .some accommodating sailor had seen to it that the automobile was brought around cloae to the curb bc fore a third exit, still further up, and the party succeeded in gaining it by a quick dash. The machine, however, was immediately surrounded and il waa not until Father Duffy had grceted nearly every man. woman and child in the throng that it was able to start off. Most of them hc calli d by name. It I was "Hello, John," "How are you, Ed?" "Are the babies well?" a hearty hand clasp and the Duffy smile. Not From The Bronx One grizzlcd old man, not with The Bronx contingent, who had apparently : been lately patronizing some Hobi ki n i bootlegger, walked unsteadily up to the chaplain. "Father Mooney christened mp," he began, "in 1872 "He did a good job," quoth Father I Duffy, lookintr him over. During the time Father Duffy was ? marooned within the inclosure, his i sister- Mrs. John Percy, of New Yi rk, i greeted him. Other relatlves mct him ; last night at the Belmont. With the Harrisburg a day from j port, Father Duffy said an Eastcr mass > Sunday and preachcd an Ea tei ?? rmon , to the men. Thcra were also Epi copal and general Prote tanl lervices on the . transport. All three were well attended, | Father Duffy said. "1 preached of the triumph of Christ," ? he said, "and told them how much longer it had lasted than their triumph would last." Ueligious Feeling Dcepened "Religious feeling has been deepened among the men who went to war," he wont on. '"Thero is no doubt about , that. For America the war's duration was just long enougn for that, and not ? ' enough to harden them, I was ' senior chaplain of the Rainbow Divi j sion and all the others, of all faiths, reported to me they had found the ? same thing true." "What kind of rrlik'ion does the sol dier like?" some one asked. "He likes the old-fnshioned kind, and ? he likes it straight," i-ather Dufl'y re 0 plied. "He likes th< kind he got from his mother. I don't mean merely the men of my own. faith, but all of them. ? Jew or Christian, Catholic or Prot ? t. I found no demand among the I troops for any new kind of religion." Father Duffy declined right <>ti' tho 1 reel to talk oi his own exploits, r "You were gassed, wcren't you?" he ' was asked. "Aw, everybody was gassed at one time or another," he replied scornfully. The battle of the Ourcq, where for three days, from July 28 to July 31, Chaplain Duffy was under fire, he wouidn't sny a word about, General Pcrshing 1 ( somel hing about il in a citation, wherein it is stated that Father Duffy "despite a conntant and levere bombardment with shells and aorial bombs, continued to clrculate In and about tne aid Btationa and hospltals, creating an atmosphero of choerfulnosfl nnd confidence by his eourageou* and Ini pii Ing examj I And thi re an- othor talcs liia com radcs tell. One of them relates how Colonel Donovan had to exercise his authority as commanding oflieer beforo Father Duffy would leave tho front lines. Always he was ministering to the dying, saying prayors over the dead and spurring on tho fighters, Like old Turpin, that doughty arch bishop who served with Charlemagno: "In Ood'a high namo tho host li. blossed, A" -1 for ponnnco g-avo ihem to smlte thotr b. at, But it was of others onlv Father Duffy would speak. "Colonel Donovan," he declares, "is the best fighting man in tho regi? ment. lle is the coolcst, pleasantesl man on the battlefield ever I saw. He looks it over like a farmer looking over a cornfield. And he is always a gentleman." Tho chaplain spoke feelingly of a number of the 69th men who had been killed in aetion. "Of them all," he said, "I oxperi enccd the greatest sense of personal loss when Scrgeant Joyce Kilmer was killed. "Then there was Captain 'Miko' Walah, a New Yorker, flftocn years in the regular army. lle was first scrgeant in the 5th Cavalry when war I roko OUt. 11" was made captain of i nr licadquartcrs company, but in sisted on taking a Lne company into itction at tho Argonne on Dctober 15 and was killed. We nll loved him t.w his charactor, gcniality and soldior sh ip." Fathor Duffy said the people in the Rhinoland, whcro tho OUth served with lhe army ot" occupation, scomod law ibiding and anxious to get on amicably .vith their American military gov ?rnors. + They .lust Wanl Peace I ??? ?? i lto\v< .1 ubsoluto apathy, how 'vor," he said, "rogarding the political >u'11 nio of t hc peace confcrencc, I liej want Dcaco chiofly in ordcr I hat !.'y may rchabilitato their commcrco ind get back their men who are prison ' war in France, I could obsorvo no danger from Bolshcvism in the lihineland. 1 do not. know about the rest of Germany. Father Uulfy made it known that one of the 69th's most important en ragements had been rather ovcrlooked n the dispatches. "It was our first major operation," e cxplained. "We were with General [iouraud's 4th French Army during tho Champagne defensive, July 15 to 19, Lieutenant Colonel Anderson Ied the ' regiment, It was the most terriflc bom bardment we experienced in all our time overseas, and it was this fight of the 4th French Army and the Rain- . bow Division that really broke the Cer man morale." So insistent were the well wishers of Father Duffy to grcet him last evening that he barely managed to snatch a few minutes for dinner. Later he called upon Archbishop Hayes at the archiepiscopal residence. "What are your plans for the fut ure?" the fighting chaplain was asked.. "i'm still a soldicr," he said. ".last now I'm serving the United States, and; when this is over I'll be back serving the Church again." Jeirish Troopers in 69th Regular Fighting Irish* Says Donovan Surrounded by reporters, photog raphers and movie men, Colonel Don? ovan was posing patiently for pictures and ns patiently answering questions about his "fighting Irish" and their dceds of valor in France, when a non commissioned officer appeared before him on the bridge deck of the Har risburg, salutod, and reported: "Sergeant Abraham Blaustcin with a message from the regimental intel ligence officer." "Blaustcin V" repcated a reporter, fa cetiously. "Blaustcin, Irish?" "No. ,lew," answered the colonel. "We have a lot of .Tews," likewisc some Lutch I mean men of German birth or extraction- and a few Indians, but they are al! more Irish than the Irish." Then il became known that Blau? stcin, of somewhero on Rivington Street, was one of the first men of the 69th to win the Croix de Gucrre, and that ho has a brother, Ilarry, also , a sergeant, and in a platoon of" Com? pany A. Not only that, but among the re placements that came to the regiment at various times were Milton Cohen, a crack machine gunner, and Louis Goldstein, another Kast Sider, mess sergeant of hcadquarters company, who captured a fancy German rolling kitchen, from which rte fed virtually the whole regiment during the battle which resulted in pinching olf the St. Mlhiel salient. "And don't. forget ilarry Bootz," said the colonel. "Major Bootz was born in Germany. Three of his broth crs died ns soldiers of the German army. llut there Is no better Irish mi M in Lhe regiment. Ho Ied our first . raid into tho German lines. 11.? com mnnded the battalion that was furthest advam .1 when tho whi itle blew at Sedan, and there is no better soldier unywhore. Tho Irish love him. "Then there is another little fact .a the history of this Irish reglmonl three of its battalion adjulants dur ing tho Argonne campalgn were Jews, Good Jows, too, and good Irish, which tneans good, manly men. Aak Father Duffy " And tho famoUB regimental chap? lain, "tanding boaido the colonel for l.i pi.'t ure, nodded aa ent. Kirchwey Appvals For Veterans of 77th IAK GEORGE KIRCHWEY, New York State Director of thn United Stntea Employmont Service, makes public this little message to tho cmployei a of New York: "The fact that 5.G00 men of the 77tk Diviaion, now on its way back from the battlc line, have significd their necd of help to find jobs, and that for over 8,000 of these no jobs have yet been found. puts tho situa York Employer. Wo have faith, how tion squarely up to you, Mr. New ever, to believe thai all of these men will promptly be taken care of on their discharge. But thia faith can be convertod into fact only by 011 ergetic and unremitting team-work on tho part of you cmployera of the city. I.'t us have tho fact." Mothers of 69th, IF< Weepitig* We leoni It was prccious freight that the pa trol boal Correction boro out into the golden sunshino and the blue waters of the II ud on yestcrday mot hera of men who lie in France; kinfolk of'thoso who will never sail proudly hoi o mothi r's joy, t hough I hey would never agnin welcome their own. There was tho mothcr who had lost two son; who yet could say: "Well, thank God, 1 havo at least one boy coming home. Think of the poor'mothera who havo last four." There were women proudly wearing the decorations of the men who will never come home and some of those who yesterday came home. Black-Garbcd Figurea Come As early aa 7 o'clock in the morning black-garbed figurea began to cross the gangplank of tho Correction. All of them wore the insignia of the 69th. Many of them carried flaga and pen nanta. If they could not wi lcome their own boys, at least they could wclc ime their sons' pals. All morning they haunted tho decks ofthe boatand com parod notea with each other. The Women'a Auxiliary of the 165th Regi? ment saw to it that they had refresh ments. A deputation of thirteen nuns from Father Duffy's parish was on tho boat. It was after 1 o'clock when, with its strings of gay pennants fluttering in the breeze, tho Correction, bearing some 700 passengcrs, slipped quictly out into the river in the wakc of the | Police Patrol boat. It was a perfect : day. The gold-tippcd waves lapped gently at the how of tho boat. Tho Manhattan sky-line was clearly chis elled against a deep blue background. Wecp ns They Wave Flags The Harrisburg was sighted at the , ei.trauco to the Narrowa. It was the ; si^nal for an outburst of cheering from the (".old Star Boat, which went on with never a break but with fluctu ating momentum until the tran p rt glided quietly into its dock at Hobo keh. Women with teara streaming down their faces waved aloft their "Erin Go Bragh" banners. Tho band played "Home, Sweet Home" as the slim, gray monster, with its 1,800 tioopa abpard, came up alongside, There were cries of recognition as tho - patrol boat travelled along under the wing of tho transport. There was dis appointment when it was found to be ; some one else. Women held up signs ; welcoming Private Tom Jones and Ser 1 geant Bill Brown, until their arms ached. They Bhouted themselves hoarse. Sirens blared and an aeroplane shirred overhead. The heroes of the Ourcq and Chateau Thierry stood in solid phalanx by the railings of tho transport. Handkcr chiefs fluttered. The Boldiers waved and checrcd and indulgcd in antici pntory pantomime by affoctionately hugging each other. Home again! But it was good. Welcome to Father Duffy Standing beside tho Bilken rogimental colors far aloft stood Father Duffy, his head bared. His name was on every one'a lips. Buttbns <>f welcome to Father Duffy adomed every lapel.

Among the casual officers on the charleston was Sergeant Arthur Olds, of the 5th Regiment of Marines. He was in charge of seven liaison runnera in the Champagno sector, and all but he were killed in service. He was cited for gallantry in action, having rescued an officer undcr heavy fire. The journey was marred by the dealh of Corporal II. A. Friednchson, of Detroit, who served with the 339th Ho pital Corps. He was stricken with pneumonia in mid-Atlantic and died last nighl when the Charleston was within sighl of land. . On the Cunardcr Carmama, which di iembarked 2,000 Canadian troops at Halifax, came Lieutenant Colonel Sam uel A Fullor, n bankcr of this city, who had been in charge of R< d Cross work in Italy from the Alps to Sicily.
