The Geneva Journal's Galician correspondent states that religious barriers have grown less through the horrors of the battlefield. Catholic priests succour the Jews, while Mussulmans' expire in the arms of Protestant pastors. A Catholic priest narrates : "A soldier, mortally wounded, crawled to me, and I knelt beside him. He was a. Jew, and was frightfully mutilated. He held himself close against me, with wild energy begging me to pray with him. I gave, from the bottom of my heart, the last consolations of religion. He handed me his papers, money, and watch to send to his wife, and I made his will. After half an hour's agony in my arms he died uncomplainingly, murmuring his mother's name. I closed his eyes and turned to other voices that were calling."
