While German barbarity wns at its
crudest the cnrdlnnl said to n visitor
from America. "I nm keeping notes of
nil this. Some day I will give It all
to the world."
Germany, benten, lias put down her
arms and the Ilelginn cardinal has kept
his promise. lie has given to the world
a stor.. all his own, in which he re

him. the horrors thej visited upon his
people, the imprisoning of priests, the
terrors nnd heart-rending scenes of the
deportntions, the destruction of Imlustrv
and finally the triumph of the allied
armies

"Hero Are My Experiences"
"Here nre my war experiences In
their most lld reality," says Cardinal
I Xfetcier in his .introduction to the story :
"All the Issues I fouzht with the, oc
cupying power, their methods and mine
clearly defined, undeniably fixed In
Mark and white."
Cardinal Gibbons, who has known the
Belgian prelate for many jenrs, has
writtcu n preface to the story.
"I am happy." he writes, "to be able
to recommend to the Aniericnn reading
public this authorized, official and au
thentic story of my beloved nnd es
teemed brother, Cardinal Mercier's ex
periences during the great war."
Prof. Fcrnand Maycncc, of Louvaln
University, n scholar of wide reputation
in Kurope, also has written a preface.
He Is un Intimate friend of Cardinal
Mercier's. Ileferrlng to the relations
between the cardinal and llnron von
Missing, who was governor general of
Hrlgium. Professor Mnyeuce writes:
"The governor general finds himself up
against a man strongly convinced of his
rights and thoroughly confident In the
luhllce and holiness of his cause."
From the beginning of the German
iccupatlon Cardinal Mercler battled
with Von Hissing He nlwn)f won.
While In this city recently the car
dinal confided to Archbishop Dough
erty that after his first Interview with
Von Hissing lie knew he could oter
come him nnd ho assumed the ofTemltc
and kept It throughout the war.
I)cfeJit,s Wily Diplomat
A feature of the cardinal's story is
his relations with Baron von der
Lnncken, who tm the diplomat of the
German administration In Belgium. The
baron, suave, wily and polished, was
n frequent caller at the prlmntc'n pal
ace In Mallnes. Whenever ho went
there ho had n "kick." He was long
and loud In his protests against the
cardinal's pastorals, his defiance of the
oocupjing power and his firm staud for
the rights of the Helglnns.
One of Von der l.nncken's visits was
to expiess disnppronl of the cnrdlnnl's
famous pastoinl of January 1. 1015.
When the cardinal told him very frankly
the pastoral had been circulated despite
tlie censorship. Von der Lnuckcu cried,
"Wo mo loo Intel"
Dining one of these interviews the
cnrdlual told the bnrun he owed al
legiance to no one except King Albert.
"ou have not laptured the hearts
of tlie Belgians and ou never will,"
the cardinal said.

If YOU do not live "for self alone" here is a big opportunity for the doing of good.
-The Octavia Hill Association was
organized and incorporated in
HISTORY
1896 by a &mall group of people deeply stirred by
the deplorable conditions of sanitation and housing
in the older, poorer districts of the city 01 j'nna
delphia. The plan adopted was that of Miss Octavia
Hill, of London, whoso work of reconstruction and
management in neglected, degraded neighborhoods
had met with marked success.
OBJECT To 'mprove tne living conditions
in the poorer residence districts of
Philadelphia.
METHODS i,'rs'- We purchase insanitary
or "run down" houses and con
vert them into clean, healthful homes by under
drainage, renovating and proper sanitary appli
ances, and then rent them to sober, industrious
laboring men of small means. A considerable part
of our holdings is occupied by foreign-born people,
who are led to higher ideals of American citizen
ship. All tenants are raised to a higher standaid
of living by teaching them how to maintain their
homes in sanitary condition nnd by requiring a
rigid adherence to our "Conditions of Tenancy"
which are printed in the monthly rent book. Rent's
must be paid promptly in advance; tenants mut
pay for damage due to their own carelessness;
lodgers must not be taken nor looms sublet without
our permission; cellars and yards must be kept free
from rubbish; garbage and ashes must be placed in
separate receptacles; sidewalks must be kept clean
in all seasons; instructions are given in the care of
bathrooms, kitchens, plumbing and garbage; ad
dresses and office hours of various dispensaries hos
pitals, etc., are printed in the rent book.
Second We offer our services as agents to other
owners of like properties, attend to collection.",
alterations and repairs and make only a moderate
charge.
Through our methods xve raise the standard for
all owners, agents and builders by the example of
good conditions combined with fair profits.
Instnnces have been discovered where, entirely
without the knowledge of the owners, conditions
have existed of a highly objectionable nature that
might well subject the owner to just criticism. Tho
standards of management of this association would
positively remove or prevent such conditions.
pur management of residential properties held
by institutions or corporations insures for them tho
maintenance of sanitary and other conditions that
xx ill prevent depreciation in values.
Third Wo build or assist others in the building
of model settlements or groups of houses, xvith
adequate facilities for insuring privacy, air, light
and general hcalthfulness, and to rent at a low
price to those families for whom tho commercial
builder (tho operatoi) makes no provisions.
Tlie association is always willing to place its
experience and facilities at the disposal of corpora
tions or firms that are considering tho housing of
their employes. Wc will prepare plans, get esti
mates and supervise construction, and, if desired,
undertako the management of such properties in
and about Philadelphia.
Fourth Through tho supervision of our fiiendly
lent collectors, women who aro experienced social
workers (about whom we shall tell you more in
another announcement), watchful care is kept over
all the properties owned or managed by us; no
undesirable condition is permitted, and uplift
service is promoted in various ways, playgrounds,
summer schools, etc.
Fifth We arc incessantly at work to awaken
the public conscience to the need for additional
legislation nnd the proper enforcement of present
laws concerning sanitation and other housing
conditions.
Help Us Extend Our Work
1 By investing in our stock, or
2 By buying property in the neglected parts of the city for us to improve
and manage, or
3 By placing under our care similar property that you now own or
control, which will permit development by our methods, or
4 By calling upon us to help you solve your problem of building moderate-rental
homes for your employes.
By relieving conditions and providing greater accommodations in our special field the poorer
sections of tho city the effect will be felt "all along the line." For many years wo luwe paid our
stockholders a dividend of 4?t excluding the past two years' war period. They could have made more
in other ways, but they are people who are willing to take less and make their money (a part of it,
at least)' a blcbsing to humanity. Qur work is a philanthropy but not a charity.
Many good people annually apportion a certain part of their resources for "bene-olence." Do
YOU? If so, why not
Make your money do double service-
help others and bring a return to you?

Subscriptions should Joe made to our treasurer, Howard Butcher, Jr., Real Estate

with you about any aphase of our work, or we will send a representative to you.
If You Have Properties
of the Kind We Handle
and wish us to inspect them with a view to undertaking their management, a communica
tion addressed to our superintendent, Frederick C. Feld, 613 Lombard street, Philadelphia,
will receive prompt attention. We shall also bo pleased to send descriptive literature upon
request.
