“We Wait in Patience for Day
of Retaliation Says Mercier
‘‘Not on This Earth, However,” Cardinal Writes Von Bis
sing; “That We Have Already, for the Occupation Is Ab
horred by Everybody in World Who Has Sense of Honor.’’
' EXPLANATORY COMMENT.
The* rr-fuftsil of the Malim*« priest* to have their identity card* Ktarnp
c*<l was patriotically in line with the whole lielgian policy of.resistance to
the utmost to the. infamous deportation machinery. In his usual explicit
and lucid style, Cardinal Mercier explains to Von Hissing precisely why this
step was taken.
The Governor General was, of course, shamming. He knew perfectly
well and the primate knew that. Von Hissing knew that the refusal of many
of the magistral* a to deliver to the German authorities a list, of the unem
ployed had occasioned a new procedure. It. became necessary then, in order
to execute the revolting designs, to identify the employed. This was why the
government decided to picket the priests. By a process of elimination the
available labor units might he discovered. The loyal clergy had no taste
for co-operating in these devlotls and treacherous schemes.
The Cardinal's conviction, eloquently expressed in the appended cor
respondence, that the triumph of justice was inevitable had come to he that
of virtually his entire nation.
At the close of lIHO and the beginning of 1917 It was difficult to fore
see that America would soon become associated in the defense of civiliza
tion, but then.* were heartening Indications that she might play an effec
tive role in halting the deportations. Brussels had been several times stirr
ed by rumors of an ultimatum sent by the President regarding the enslav
ing of the Helgians.
The truth was otherwise and yet steps to stop the outrage had been
taken, in response tu a report from Brand Whitlock summing up the sit
uation the Htate Department had dlspa tehed a telegram approving the Amer
ican minister's course and saying that Mr Grew, the charge d’affaires in
Berlin, had been instructed to make representations to the German Govern
ment on the subject and that the irnjw rial authorities had promised an ex
planation. The development of the pressure through diplomatic channels
was. of course, terminated by our entrance into the war.

To His Eminence *’animal Mercier,

The Governor General has direct

the following facts: To enable him
to select those of the unemployed
v ho are to be deported from Matines

Identity card stamped in »« special

be represented by another on reasons
for his non apppearanre being given.
The priests In question could doubt
less have availed themselves of tills
regulation, but they preferred to ab
sent thems* Ives from the bureau and
di*l not appear on n second data as
signed them. These priests after
ward am t tc» the Krelaohef a letter,
in which they declared that their at
titude in not ansuering the sum

willingness to co operate In the
measures adopted against the unem
ployed As according to the word
ing of the notice posed up the ques
tion of the co-operation of priests
did not arise, the motives assigned
wer*' not admissible consequently the
K raise hes had to acknowledge that
the priests hy their non-appearance
had contravened his orders and by
sentence of tho Governor General,
rail, of them mulcted in a hue
of marks.
The Governor General deems It fit

these facts. His Excellency cannot
bui -perceive an open contradiction
between the priests’ declaration

To fils Kxcellency Baron con Hucne.
Interim Governor General of HoK
glum, Brusm-lrt.
Votir Kxcellency Intrusted to the
chief of your political department.
Baron von del* Eancken, the task of
writing me to th*- effect that you fall
to understand the attitude of the
Ala linen clergy, who deemed It their
conscientious duty to decline the of
fer of having their identity card
stamped.
It seems to you that this attitude
is out of harmony with Gils passage
In my letter of November 29, I'JIH:
‘ I’riesta who know the common peo
ple better than any one else would
render the recruiters valuable as
sistance Why is their and re
fused?"
Tho military government has sen
tenced each of these ecclesiastics to
a fine of 100 marks, and your Errol -
leney declares that to your regret you
ran not but ratify the sentence.
The action of the clergy of Malipes
was taken with full deliberation just
as your Kxcellency supposes, and
their reasons for thus acting were
given In writing to the Krelschef.
That the Intentions of this gentleman
were will meaning in the oaee of
carta 1 !! ranks of society, I do not
i ctibt. but his method of procedure,
though welcome to tin* middle class,
was a jrriei.ttco to the working classes.
In order to organize more methodj
oally and mor«- surely the calling up
of a pout of th* Belgian people *l*
Htlned to serve by fair means or foul
the economic Interests of the enemy,
and therefore Indirectly military in
terests, the occupying power ordered
tho communal authorities lo draw up
a list of the unemployed. Most of
the magistrate 1 * r*i Belgian com
munes. fully realizing that they were
entrustrd with the duty of safe
guarding national Integrity, refused
to furnish under the heading ''unem
ployed" a list of free citizens destined
to be transformed the next day into
Into u list of prescribed lines.
Gherked by this refusal, the mili
tary authorities resorted to a round
about way. The "unernphfyed" not
being registered, their only remain
ing t«-Source was to register those
who were "employed.” What could
not lie obtained hy direct moans. It
was sought to procure hy an indi
rect maneuver. vl:v bv graciously
offering a s amp to |Y» whom they
wanted to spar** and thus by n pro
cess of subtraction to secure a list of
unemployed who were to !*«* deport
ed.
After the t>ft*at addressed t*» tho
burgomasters came th*' lmit offer, d
to thoediurghers Tin* two attempts
made by the military authorities had
the same end in view: namely, to
bring Belgians to cooperate in or
ganizing the deportation of their
fellow countrymen. Both were to
have the simo result, viz.. the
snatching from their homes of a class
of citizens h h innocent and as free
as any other Belgians and to force
them Into * \’le and to work f<». the
enemy The Dot that all those
hoping to t;* ap some advantage from
tin* j obsession of a stamped card
did not suspect the presence of a
hook concealed in the halt can be
readily conceived# The fnet that men

Statement That Britain Wants
Thirteen Billion From Us Said
to Be Untrue.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(Copyright, 1!* 1!», for The Augusta
Herald.)
Washington., Jan. 3. Loans by the
government of the United States to
England or l-'ranoe are out of the
question. Publication of a story to
the effect that Viscount Cray went
home with the pledge of the Wilson
administration for a $13,000,000,000
loan have revived the subject of in
ternational finance and given the
treasury department an opportunity
to place its views unequivocally be
fore tlie public. Here is the way one
of the ussls'uut secretaries of the
treasury pltr.iscd it:
"If England really wanted $13,000.-
000,000 in credits in the United
States, she could not spend that
amount in five years. If she wanted
that sum, the treasury certainty
would not agree to recommend such
a loan to congress. If the treasury
did recommend It, congress certainly
would not agree to It. And If con
gress did agree, the money could not
be raised from the people of the Unit
ed States, that's .ill there is to It."
Part of Anti-League Campaign.
The purpose of the story is con
sidered lu re to be interwoven with the
campaign against the League of Na
tions. Opponents of the treaty have
sought to make it appear that the
United States is yielding everything
and giving away to Kurope and par
ticularly (ircal lilt tain. For instance
in the last two weeks much discon
tent has been aroused in quarters
where anything anti-British finds a
favorable reception, in the mailer of
the big German ships, which were or
dered returned to England.
As a matter of fact the soli inn word
of 111-- United States was pledged to
give those ships back to Kngland im
mediately after our war department
got through transporting tloops to
America. The fact that England was
delaying the return of some ships be
longing lo Ainerteti wars the funda
mental reason for tin- shipping board s
disinclination lo recommend the re
turn of tlie big German liners, but
President Wilson took the position
that America would keep her pledges,
regardle s of tin* outcome or merits of
the controversy which had separately
arisen over other ships Indeed the
United States confidently expects
Kngland to adjust that question In rttit
time
L-an Story Without Basis.
Hut tile publication oi ,nc story
about a thirteen billion dollar loan
does not have even the basis wiitcu
attaches to the controversy over ships.
Vet the two together are pronounced
as part and parcel ot the campaign to
keep antipathies alive between the
t luted tSialis and England.
As far as financing Kurope is con
cerned, a great deal of nusrepresenlu-
Uon lias been lit loose in an effort
to make it appear Unit the foreign
policy of the executive branch of the
government today ts merely the out
growth of a desire to keep on loaning
American funds to rehabilitate Eu
rope. Him e the armistice the United
States government .has loaned shorn
f-,42!),0*w,000 to the allied governments
mostly as credits tor American food
stuffs so ih it America can hard y t»e
accused o. illiheraiily .
Secretary Glass Gives U. S. View,
(hi the other hand, the viewpoint ot
the United States government can not
in better presented than in the worus
of Secretary Glass himself, who says:
"The treasury believe* that the need
of Europe for financial assistance :»
very great und very real, though it ts
or lias been much exaggerated both
! here and abroad. Our hearts nave
tu mi so touched by the aufferlng
which the war left la Its train, amt our
experience is so recent of the finan
cial conditions, whtrn existed during
the war (When men wore devot-ng
themselves to the business of destruc
tion) that we are prone to overlook
the VMt recuperative power Inherent
In any country which, though devas
tated. has not been depopulated, and
tin- people of which are not starved
after wants We must all fiel deep
sympathy for the suffering in Europe
today, but we must not a low our sym
pathy to warp our judgment and, by
exaggerating Europe's financial needs,
make It more difficult to fill tnern
“Men must go hack to work In Eu
rope, must contribute to Increase pro
duetton. The Industries of Europe, oi
course, ear,not be set to work without

raw materials, machinery, etc., and to
the extent that these are to be se
cured from the l’nßed States. The
problem of financing the restoration
of Europe belongs primarily to our
exporters."
The only exception to the above
which has been made is in the case
of central Europe, where starvation
already is beginning. Congress has
been asked to loan a few hundred mil
lions dollars to relieve the food situa
tion in Austria. Great Britain iia>
assured the United States that s?ie
will share in the effort. Outside of
the distressing condition of the small
er countries in centra: nurope. how
ever. which involves at best, only rela
tively small sums, th** viewpoint of
the treasury is unchanged.
