Father Kelley, a Hercules In stature
and known In army circles as "Pmlllns
Father Kelley," held cloe to his hoys
according to the war dispatches, and
actually went over the top three times
In one day
"He finished thn day with It's hair
white," says the Associated Tress cor
respondent. iKnorlnif the wishes of his men and
fellow officers, the nrlest was on the
flrlnc line for hours, mlnlrtfrlnc to the I

Father Kelley 1r known to thousands
of Phlladelphlans who were In the nd
vance guard of selectn to arrive In
Meade As chaplain of the Tenth N'ew
York Infantry, he was ramp chaplain
for several weeks and relinquished tha'
position when his reRlment left for
France In October, last year.
At Camp Mantle
The Tenth was at Meade and rtolns?
Sfljard duty until the selectlves from
this city and other points In J'ennrylv.i
nla were trained sufficiently to take mot
the work. And Father Kellev. who
stands more than six feet In hln stock
ings, wan the active "sky pilot" for the
camp.
He was not only the "sky pilot" for
the New Yorkers, but served ni director
nf Knlffhtsi nf Pnliinihn rirt t Itlea for
many weeks, and Philadelphia mothers
will remember the advice he r;ivi tlitni
a few days before their loved ones de- ;
parted for ramp. Standing outside hln '
tent near the Admiral railroad station, j
he sent thin message through the i:r.-
ino Public I.F.nriF.n to the mothers, sis- ,
ters and sweethearts of Philadelphia i
draftees.
"(live him a kiss and a smile a he ,
says good-hye, If yon do that, it will '
send him away with the feeling th.it
yo.t do not entertain a single far ipn- '
cernlng his safety. Tell him to make ,
good by fighting his level best. Tell i
him you will be proud of hln exploits
on the field of battle, but remember the I
smile. That smile will linger In Ills j
memory and do much toward casing his j
mind." I
Two weeks later the Tenth received
orders to leave camp and Father Kelley
said farewell to hundreds of his new
friends. As the icglnient pulled away
from the station Father Kelley stood
on the platform of the rear car and
waved to the group of Phlladelphlans.
He was on his way to France.
When Tenth Left
Standing at the dust-ridden station
van n lone woman who had been fortu
nate enough to arrive In camp a half
hour before the cntralnment of the regi
ment. Her boy was there and as the
train pulled away from the station the
soldier band played "(joodhyc, Little
Girl, Ooodhye."
Mindful nf the priest's advice the
mother smiled and waved farewell to
the brawny "sky pilot.''
A year has passed and more than
70,fO0 men have pased through Camp
Meade cm their way to France. In the
brief war dispatche.1 a few havn been
mentioned for braery and dash and
today Father Kelley figures In one .of
thtse tcr.e messages.

Before July 1 If nu enlisted man
wanted his wife or other dependents to'
receive more than $15 out of his salary
h could make arrangement for the war '
j risk bureau to deduct that amount fromi
I his nav and forward the check to the!
wife
! Xow the War Department or Xavy
Department sends his wife or depend-
lents $15 a month automatically and as
much more as he voluntarily allots and
the war risk bureau sends, the depend
ents a check for $15 for a wife and $5
for each dependent child.
Dependents accustomed to receive
checks for $30 or more from the war
risk bureau have gained the belief that
the rjoernment was reducing the al-
I lowance when the checks from the bu
reau were reduced to $15. but the ap
parent reduction was offset by sums re
ceived from the War or Xavy Depart
ments. STATE FIRE MARSHAL DEAD
