B., as sistant pastor of St. Boniface Church, of this city, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Wiemann, 107 West Tenth street, St. Paul, died suddenly at mid night, Friday, January 24, at the parish house. Heart disease is said to have caused his death. He received Ex treme Uunction and the final absolu tion, after making his confession. The congested state of his lung prevented his receiving the Holy Viaticum. Father Wiemann was born in St. Paul, June 5, 1878, and was educated at St. John's University, Collegeville, Minn. He was ordained to the priest hood in 1903. He was appointed at once professor of mathematics at his Alma Mater, and then became procur ator at St. John's College. In 1911 he became assistant at the Church of St. Boniface in Minneapolis. During the influenza epidemic last November he contracted the disease while at tending the sick. This resulted in a weakened heart which caused his death. The body lay in state at the Church of St. Boniface last Sunday and Mon day afternoon, and then was removed to St. John's abbey at Collegeville: Solemn requiem High Mass was celebrated at the Church of St. Boni face at 9 A.

Social Function at the Donaldson Tea Rooms. Supervisors of Surgical and Garment Red Cress Workers Felicitated Upon the Splendid Results Achieved During the War. It was a delighted assemblage of women Red Cross workers that gath ered at the Donaldson Tea Rooms last Tuesday noon, the occasion marking the close of the active period of war welfare work in the several parishes of the city. The supervisors of the surgical and garment workers to the number of forty-five were in attendance, Mrs. L. S.- Donaldson occupying the chair of hostess. All of the units of the city were represented, and there was an informal interchange of felicitations among the ladies, all of whom ex pressed their gratification at the splen did results achieved, and their satis faction in having been able to con tribute so substantially to the com fort and safety of the fighting forces. It was the general opinion that the disciplinary effects of the campaign were of inestimable value to those who "saw it through," and that this excel lent exemplification of unity of pur pose and spirit would prove a perma nent benefit in future cases of crisis or calamity. Many of the units have reorganized their war welfare forceB for sewing, knitting and other charitable work for the benefit of the needy. This in deed was the suggestion of Mrs. Don aldson who presided at the gathering She expressed heartfelt gratitude fori the co-operation both in act and spirit which she had received during the campaign, and pointed out the po tential power for good that lies In the organizations already existing. These, she suggested, might easily and graciously be diverted from the activities of war to the ever present necessities of peace. Her remarks were greeted with hearty applause, showing that she voiced the sentiment of all present. Mrs. Donaldson was the recipient of a large bouquet of roses from the Red Cross supervisors in token of her valuable efforts in forwarding the work of the organization. The bou quet was presented by Mrs. Grace Ounn, one of the leaders of the Red Crass activities, who in a short but address expressed the love and oatoom in which Mrs. Donaldson is held among her co-workers. Jfra. Coonan, who was one "of the most active organizers of the Branches of the Red Cross Terr interesting work, reviewed the Twp»ign in a very Interesting man ner, and emphasized the necessity of preserving the organized parochial activities.

New Archbishop in St. Paul See (Continued from Page 1.) John Keane, archbishop of Dubuque. Special Ceremony Planned. A special ceremony will mark the beginning of the administration of Bishop Dowling in the diocese of St. Paul. It probably will be some weeks before Bishop Dowling comes to St. Paul, according to Rev. J. C. Byrne, vicar general of the dioecese and act ing head. Catholic churchmen today said it is believed Bishop Dowling will be in vested into his office faster Sunday— April 27. Bishop Dowling will assume the of fice of archbishop of St. Paul when he receives from Rome his official ap pointment on parchment and can ex ercise none of the functions of the office until he receives the paHium, it was said. At the special service which will be in the Cathedral of St. Paul, a bishop will invest Bishop Dowling with the pyiHnm after a mass. He will then become the archbishop of St Paul. Archbishop-Elect Prepares for New Office. Bishop Ahstin Dowling, named by Pope Benedict to take over the met ropolian diocese of St Paul, which was administered for so long a time by the late Archbishop Ireland, is getting his work in shape preparatory to taking up his residence here, ac- cording to word from Des Moines. Bishop Dowling's activities in Des Moines have covered such a wide field that he will, be kept busy during the short time he will remain there. "I have not' made a single plan for my new work in St: Paul," Bishop Dowling said. "I don't even know what the situation is there. All I can say is that 1 will take up the work as I find it. The ability of Archbishop Ireland was so well known that it needs 110 comment nor praise. It speaks for itself. All we can ex pect' is to keep pushing forward and endeavor to carry out some of that noble prelate's ideas." Bishop Dowling is a modest man. "I will be glad to announce at any time whatever plans may be made," the bishop said, in discussing his new appointment. Bishop Dowling is a man of strong personality. His friends in Des Moines are not confined to his own faith. His great work in civic activi ties has won him the admiration of thousands of Des Moines people. As a scholar he is best known. His work in establishing schools has at tracted attention far and near. He has planned more big things for his church in Des Moines than has been carried on anywhere else in the state. He was consecrated as Bishop of Des Moines, April 25, 1912. SOLDIERS IN TRENCHES DON'T HATE GERMANS (Continued from Page 1.) they gave her some patched clothes as coming from America, and she knew that nobody in America would send such stuff as that. It is hard to have to choose between being just ami be ing good American. I won't tell you what attitude I took, but I'm afraid my dear old lady still thinks she has an argument to prove that the Boches are robbers. "At any rate, the older griefs of these people are for the soldiers who have come through an intense war experience—echoes of 'old, unhappy, far-off things, and battles of long ago.' They judge the German soldier by their own experience and by soldier standards they don't fear him they don't hate him they don't despise him either. They respect him when he puts up a good fight or makes a clean getaway, and -that lias beeu most of the time. When they meet him now the impulse is not to hit him, but to give him a 'tailor-made' cigarette and swap experiences. "If I can judge by the tone of the press the civilian mind has had a quite different set of experiences. You are much more bitter over there. You talk of the 'Huns,' and it is the rarest thing to hear a soldier in a combat division talk of 'Huns'—it is always the 'Boche' or 'Heinie' or sim ly 'the Germans.' Perhaps it is what you have been fed upon perhaps it 4s something that, is fundamentally decent showing itself in a crooked way when some fellow who isn't in damning the Kaiser or bursting the windows of a delicatessen store or teaching his kid to insult some little towhead in school. In France ani mosity was characteristic only of re cruits or warriors of the rear areas who never heard or fired a shot, "It was a fine spirit on the part of our troops, much better than hatred would have been. I cannot see that deep bitterness could have made them bolder. It only would have made them less efficient. And the spirit is admirable in itself. I saw a Ger man airman do a particularly daring bit of wOrl$ and bring down one of our observation balloons in sight of 20,000 soldiers, and I do not think there was a soldier in the bunch that didn't say: 'I hope to God the beggar gets away.' "You can easily understand that now that our fellows have licked them in fair fight on both sides, they are kindly disposed towards them. And you can understand, too, the rea son for the prophecy I have often heard many of our officers make, that the return of the front-line troops will do much to soften the bitterness of American opinion with regard to German conduct of the war, though it will not change American views on the war itself or the need of our get ting into it." Father Duffy, who is one of the great individual heroes of the war, writes from the heart of the Ameri can Army, for he is marching with the Rainbow Diyisldh through Ger many. His letter will serve to en lighten the American people who have been systematically deceived by that element which has fostered the spirit of hatred and has sought to Incite unforgiving bitterness and hostility against the German people. He Is big enough and courageous enough to tell the American people that they have been misled and that the spirit of hatred which is so pronounced at home is unknown at the front the fight manifests his feelings by Theilman, where he remained until his V-'"" Death of Father Zahner —Had Been Paul Father Zahner was assistant priest at' Fairmont, Mffin., for a year, and was pastor at Lismore, Minn., from 1902 to 1905. He was then transferred to Woodstock, where he remained un til 1911. In that year he was appointed to Conception, with the mission of death., POPE ASKS INTERVENTION TO END UKRAINE "TROUBLE. Paris, Jan. 26.—Pope Benedict has requested intervention by Mons. Rat ti, papal delegate at Warsaw, and Archbishop Bilozeskl of Posen and Archbishop Szeppycki of Lemberg, to end the conflict between the Ukrain ians and Polish troops, according to a message received in Paris by the Pol ish national committee. It is said that General Petiura, head of the peasant army of the Ukraine, will send a subsidy of 1,000,000 rubles to the Ukranian troops fighting the Poles in Galicia.
