PRINTER OF CARDINAL'S PASTORAL DEPORTED
'Justice Demands That Consequence -Must Fall Upon Him
Who Bears Responsibility; the Pastoral Is My Act,"
, Mercier Writes Governor General
N Explanatory Comment
HrpHERE arc many things," declared the Cardinal in the pastoral letter of March 12, 1916, which is tho subject of
- tho appended correspondence, "thut I cannot say to you. The abnormal situation from which wo are suffering
prevents us from revealing to you with open heart specifically nil that there is in our inmost soul for your welfare;
all that which comes from the most high and touches you very closely; nil that which is to me my firmest support
and wduld be for you, could I utter it, your most puissant consolation. But you do not question my word; you be
lieve me when I assure you that my journey has been particularly blessed and that I return happy, very happy.
"Tho goodness of the Holy Father has been touching. As soon as I arrived he deigned to receive me in his
' arms, Invited me to see him again, as often as possible, permitted mo to tell all to him, to confide all in him, to think
aloud in his presence. During the long hours that I had the consolation of passing in his august presence he pater
nally sympathized with me, enlightened me, encouraged me. Ho understands and shares the care that we take of
our religious liberties and of patriotism. His deep concern, which I eagerly receivedfor you, he desired earnestly to
sum up in a dedication, which, in his august hand, ho wrote beneath his portrait, and this I repeat to you in all its'
simplicity, 'To our venerated brother, Cardinal Mercier, A rchbishop of Malines, we grant with a full heart the apos
tolic benediction, assuring him that we arc always with him and that we share his griefs and his agonies, since his
cause is our cause also.' "

CHAPTER XXIII
The Pastoral Letter, "On My Return From
Rome"
ON OCTOBER 16, 1915, the Cardinal had written a
pastoral entitled, "For the Feast of All Saints and
All JSquIs Day." It had been read in all the churches in
three sections on Sunday, October 31, on All Saints' Day
anil on Sunday, November 6. In answer to the dispatch
of four copies the GovernorGeneral sent the following
acknowledgment to his Eminence:
Brussels, November 11, 1913.
It have the honor to thank your Eminence for
tending ine four copies of your pastoral of October
15. Although I do not share your views on all points,
yet I nolo with pleasure that this new manifesto of
your Eminence is a great improvement on those which
have preceded it.
(Signed) BARON VON BISSING,
As you see, Von Bissing, pleased with the letter,
did not even blame theJSardinal for having it printed
without submitting it "to the censor. Did he per
chance hope that he had tamed his patriotism and had
succeeded in making him change his altitude toward the
power in occupation? If so, his illusion must have
been short-lived; for tho dispute was about to be re
opened as closely contested ns ever, about a new pas
toral dated Marcli 7, 191G, and beginning, "On my rc
tunufrom Rome."
, During the whole of his journey through Swit
zerland and Italy, tho Cardinal had received enthusi
astic ovations, which were meant both for the coura
geous pastor and the heroic country he represented. The
German press had taken umbrage at those manifesta
tions of warm sympathy; it had accused tho Cardinal
of having lent himself to political demonstrations and
it had urged the power of occupation to proceed
against him with severity immediately on his return.
Undaunted by threats, the Cardinal communicated
to his flock the comforting impressions he had gleaned
during his journey.
"On Our Return From Rome"
On Sunday, March 12, the clergy read in all the
churches of the diocese the letter, "On Our Return from
Rome." The Cardinal, after expressing the joy he felt
at finding himself again in the midst of tho faithful
of his diocese, said that his Tourney had been blessed
in a special manner and that he came back happy, most
happy. He had been received with fatherly kindness by
the Pope, who told him that the cause of Belgium was
his cause; he had satisfied himself that everywhere the
moral triumph of Belgium had been definitely won and
lastly the assurances, which several disinterested and
attentive observers of the general situation had given
him, had fixed inrhia heart, more deep-rooted than ever,
this conviction of final victory.
"Keep an absolute faith in Providence," he added;
"are we not all of us always in the hands of the Al
mighty, more so, indeed, than the lilies of the fields or
the birds of the air which flutter about the trees?
Mtikn Vmir nlnnfl. ftf tin imtlf liadnfiAa nlni
your movements, it remains for man to proposo and God
totlispose Imaglno a belligerent nation sure of
its army corps, its ammunitions, its command, on the
point of gaining a triumph; should God allow the gc'rms
of an epidemic to break out in their ranks, there and
then are ruined tho expectations of the most optimistic.
"Therefore, nbovc all, have confidence in God "
' The letter ended with an earnest appeal for prayer
and sacrifice.
Tho Governor General was not long in showing his
N anger. Tho very next morning, before even writing to
his Eminence, he put Mr. Charles Dessain, Burgomaster
of Malines and printer to the archbishop, under arrest,
as well as four printers engaged at his works. The
Cardinal, having learned tho news at tho Abbey of
Mont-Cesar, where he had retired to mako a retreat,
hastened to address the following letter to Von Bissing:
Abbaye du Mont-Cesar, Louvain,
March 15, 1916.
To His Excellence Baron von Bissing, Governor Gen
eral, Brussels.
Sir The news has reached me here that Mr.
Charles Dessain, Burgomaster of tho town of Ma
lines, and four workmen printers of his works, have
been placed under arrest, the former for having had
printed, the latter for printing my pastoral dated
March 7
I presume that tho intention of those who have
arrested them is merely to have them examined.
But if your Excellency is of opinion that the ar
rest is the forerunner of a trial, perhaps of u con
demnation, I would earnestly beg of you to consider
that justice demands that tho consequences of an act
must be made to fall upon him who bears the respon
sibility. The printing of the pastoral is my act,
rather than that of the printer and his workmen.
If objection were made to your Excellency, or
your Excellency yourself were to make it, that you
arc not qualified to judge and proceed against a
bishop and a prince of tho Church exercising his
pastoral office, I would take the liberty to call to your
notice that in the present instance it is neither a
bishop nor a member of tho Sacred Collego against
whom you would proceed, but a private individual,
who, of his own accord, undertakes to be the spokes
man of upright and faithful fathers of families, whom,
through his loyalty and affection for them, he of his
own responsibility takes under his shelter.
Accept, dear Governor General, the expression
of my sincere esteem.
(Signed) D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER,
Archbishop of Malines.
Von Bissing refused to comply with the demands of
the Cardinal.
Government General of Belgium, Brussels,
March 18, 101G.
To Hia Eminence Cardinal Mercier, Archbishop of
Malines.
I beg to inform your Emwence, in reply to your
letter of the 15th inst., that it is solely on the ground
of my decree on the censorship of printed matters
tliat the Printer Dessain and his workmen have been
prosecuted. Your Eminence may feci yourself moral
ly responsible for tho misdemeanor committed, which
thus exposes fathers of families to prosecution at
law; but tliat can have no influence on the legal pro
cedure now going on. The result of this procedure is
beyond my province.
Moreover, I cannot at all understand how your
Eminence imagines that I can act toward you, as I
would toward a private individual, without any re
gard for your ecclesiastical dignity.
I offer your Eminence the expression of my sin
cere esteem.
(Signed) BARON VON BISSING,
Lieutenant General.
Mr. Charles Dessain, Burgomaster of Malines, was
condemned and deported to Germany on the charge of
printing the pastoral.
Von Hissing in a Rage
Three days after the reading of the letter in the
churches, Von Bissing addressed to the Cardinal a long
list of charges, which he took care to have published in
the Belgian censored press.
Governor General of Belgium, Brussels,
P. A. I. 2606. March 15, 1016.
To Hist Eminence Cardinal Mercier, Archbishop of
Malines.
I bring the following facto to your Eminence's
notice.
He who is placed in the highest position to watch
over and safeguard the interests of the Catholic
Church has assured me on several occasions and in
the most formal manner that at your return from
Rome your Eminence would observe an attitude full
of moderation. I could expect then that your Emi
nence would abstain from manifestoes which continue
to upset the easily excited minds of the Belgian
people.. For this reason I refrained from discussing
with your Eminence the incidents connected with your
journey and more particularly the collective letter of
the Belgian bishops and the political misuse which
your Eminence made of the passport obtained by the
Holy Father to allow you to go to Rome for purposes
entirely ccclceiasticaL
By your new pastoral your Eminence not oidy
has not behaved conformably to the assurances given
me by him who wa3 best qualified to do so, but you
have acted in such wise that relations between your
self and the power of occupation are again strained.
Of course there can be no possible doubt whatever
that I will never hinder your Eminence from trans
mitting to the faithful communications which the
Holy See may wisJi to make to them through you.
But your Eminence in your pastoral does not stop
here. You give vent to remarks which are purely
political. I protest vigorously against this way of
acting.
The behavior of your Eminence is inexcusable,
when in talking of the result of the war you raise
hopes which are ill-grounded and obviously out of
keeping with real facts. For instance, your Eminence,
to strengthen your assertions, quotes Jague state
ments coming from people who are quite outsiders in
regard to events and whom it is impossible to look
upon as good authorities. In another place, you try
to make an impression by suying that (he issue you
desire might come about through the spreading of
epidemic diseases. J'
Not p On November '21, llllfi. the Belgian liier- V
nrcliy addressed n collective letter to the eplticopatc of
(ieriniiiiv mid Atiilro-HiinKnry tn protest against the
rnliimiilM luunrhed ngnlnst the Belgians by the Ocr'
man ,oeiniiient mid to eull for mi impartial inquiry
about the atrocities committed by (,'erman troops at the A
beginning of the vur. This letter remained uiiunsercd,
By this arbitrary method of arguing, your Emi
nence can only provoke a mischievous excitement
among un ovcrcrcdulous people, which may drive it
into an active or passive resistance to the occupying
power.
mte to mark as particularly intolerable the at- '
lusion which your Eminence makes in your pastoral
to an encroachment on the religious liberties of the ,
people in the occupied territory. Your Eminence
knows better than any one that this insinuation t
perfectly unjustified. ,
Under these circumstances, contrary to the spirit ,
of forbearance which I have shown till now, I am -.
determined to suppress without delay every kind of
political propaganda spread under the cloak of lib
erty of worship and every act tending to foster senti-1
ments of hostility toward the legitimate authority of
the power in occupation, an authority recognized by
international law. It is my duty to do so in con
formity with my decrees und the fulfillment of my
mission.
If, till now, I have notified to your Eminence .
the transgressions of which your priests have been t
guilty in order that they might be punished accord
ing to ecclesiastical discipline, I am determined ip
dispense with this in the future. In fact, your Emi- ,
nence yourself ha3 set the example of insubordination.
As a consequence of (its, your influence w now with-
out weight. I must, moreover, more and more, make
your Eminence morally responsible for the regret
table acts into which a great number of priests allow '
themselves to be drawn and which bring severe pen
alties upon some of them.
Your Eminence will again retort tliat I have"
misunderstood certain passages of your pastoral and '
I have given them a sense never meant by you. All v
discussion about this must prove futile, and I have r
no intention to start a fresh one. On the contrary,
I have firmly made up my mind for the future nottn
to allow your Eminence, misusing your high position
and the respect due to your cloth, to indulge in a
political propaganda calculated to turn the heads n
of the mob, a delinquency which in the case of a
simple citizen would result in penal consequences. J
warn your Eminence, therefore, to abstain hence-1
forth from any political kind of activity.
I offer to your Eminence the expression of my '
sincere esteem.
(Signed) BARON VON BISSING, '
Lieutenant General.

reproach in her expression, but meeting
him with a pantomime of laughs and
sallies. A tangle of passengers closed
them in. A train wild with speed tore
into the station, grinding to n stop on
shrieking wheels. A second later it tore
out again, leaving the platform empty.
Then Madnm Moores turned her face
to the rain-Hwept street and retraced her
steps, except that a vertigo fuddled her
progress and twice she swayed. When
she climbed the staircase to her apart
ment she wbr obliged to rest midway.
sitting huddled against the banister, her
soaked feenrf fallen backward across her
shoulders. She unlatched' her door
carefully, to save, the squeak and to
avoid the small maid who sang over and
above the clatter of her dishes. The
yellow lamti diffused its oulet light the
length tit hallway nnd Bhe tottered down
and into the bedroom at the tar end.
A night lamp mimed beside a bas
inet that might have been lined with
the breast feathers of a dove so downv
was it. An Imltatlon-lvory clock ticked
among a litter of Imitation-ivory
dresser fittings. On the edge of the
bed, and with no thought for its lacy
coverlet, she sat down heavily, her wet
coat dragging It awry. An hour ticked
past. The maid completed her tasks,
announced her departure and tiptoed
out to meet an appointment with a gas
fitter's assistant in the lower rear hall.
After a while Madam Moores fell to
crying, but in long whecxes that came
from her throat, ury, xno enna in
the crlh uncurled a small nink fist and
opened his eyes, but with the gloss of
'sleep still across them and not forfeit

she rose, groping her way behind n
chintz curtain at the fnr end of the
room ; fell to scattering nnd reassem
bling the contents of n trunk, stacking
together her own garments nnd the
tlnv garments of n tiny white layette.
Toward midnight she fell to crying
again beside the crib, nnd in audible
jerks and moans that racked her. The
child stirred. Crnmming her hand
kerchief against her lips, she faltered
down the hallway. In the front room
and on the pillowed couch she col
lapsed weakly, eyes closed and her
grief-crumpled face turned toward the
door.

In a dim street, which by the contri?

for n dozen or more perambulators on
high, rubber-tired wheels, Alphonse
Mlchelson and Gertie Dobriner htood in
conference with a dark-wrapped figure,
her blue-checked apron wound muff
fashion nbout her hands.
Miss Dobriner tapped a finger against
her too red lips.
"Seventy dollars net for a baby car

"Seventy dollars for a baby carriage I

his words.
"Bor Gawd's sake, cut tne haggling,

Miss Dobriner drew up her back to
a feline arch.
"The gentleman saya we'll take It for

"My husband's great for one price,

"Mrs. Van Ness who sent you here

She says she's going to give us an

Mr. Mlchelson waved aside the im
pending recitation with a sweep of his
hand.
"Is this the one you like, Gert?;'
"Yes, with the folding top. Soy,
don't I want to Bee Madam's face when
she sees It. And, say, won't the kid
be a scream, Phonzie, all nestled up in

He slid his hand into his pocket,
withdrawing a leather folder. j
"Here, we'll take this one with the
folding top, but get us n fresh one
out of stock."
"We'll make you this carriage up, sir,
just as j on sec it now."
"Make it up! Wc'c got to have it

eyes narrow as slits.
"Seventy-five spot down."
Indecision vanished as rags before
Abracadabra.
"We make it a rule not to sell our
Eamples, but "
"That carriage has got to be deliv

"Sir. that can't go out tonight. It's

"The first thing Monday morning,

He plunged his hands into his pockets
and paced the narrow aisle down the

It used to be that on the day after Christmas every one was too '
weary to bestir himself or herself, but times have changed. The stores "
are crowded, and the holiday spirit seems all-pervasive. Many people -,
this year iecm to have adopted the plan of giving Christmas money, .f,
with the wish that the recipients of their gifts might buy what they
themselves most desired. If you are planning to spend your Christ- f
mas money, you may be certain that you can spend it nowhere to '
better advantage than m the Chestnut Street Shops.
ANY One who has spent much
time in traveling knows that
it pays to have a good, sub
stantial leather bag that will stand
the hard usage which even the most
kind-hearted of baggage masters is
wont to bestow upon our luggage.
And any one who lays the least claim
to oeing iastidious makes the re
quirement that his bags must not
only wear well, but look well. If such
are your requirements it would be
wise to make your purchase at the
store of Bailey, Banks & Biddle Com
pany. There you will find bags of
sealskin, lizard and pigskin, fitted
with travelers' requisites of ivory,
silver, gold or ebony. You may
purchase an unfitted bag if vou so
desire, but the convenience of havincr
everything at hand is worth consid
ering when you are purchasing a bag.
A GIFT of perfect Fruits, per
fectly arranged in one of Hal
lowell's hand-painted Gift
Baskets, is the loveliest gift you can
send to welcome in the New Year.
The hand-painted baskets are new
this year and are certainly most at
tractive, and they are filled with the
most delicious fruits obtainable.
There" are great clusters of Hothouse
Grapes from Belgium, luscious Pears
from tho sunny slopes of California,
delicious Tangerine Oranges, Cali
fornia Red Emperor Grapes all
tastefully arranged so that their
colors merge into an ensemble that
is perfect. Surely, for a New Year's
gilt you couia nna nothir- more
likely to please the recipients than
one of these Gift-Baskets of Fruit
from the store of Henry R. Kallowell
& Son, Broad street below C stnut.
THERE are any number of Phila
delphians who are blaming their
newly acquired colds on the
weather, whereas many of them are
tho result of breathing dry, harsh
air in stuffy rooms. Heating and
ventilating experts agree that the
deal relative humidity indoors should
be maintained at 50, with heat -ot
to exceed C8 degrees. The only way
to make sure of breathing properly
moistened air is by the use of a
humidifier. The Buddington Humidi
fier, sold by J. Franklin Miller, 1G12
Chestnut street, is a scientifically de
signed device which, when ulaccd on
top of your radiator or register, adds
moisture to the dry j.ir in heated
rooms. With tho proper humidity, a
room heated to 08 degrees is more
comfortable than a dry room t;ated
to 72 degrees,

At the stores of I. Press & Sons?
Chestnut and Eighth streets, 101
Market street nnd 909 Markejf
street, I saw some very good-looking"
cuff buttons. Some were of gold;
others of platinum, and others of 'th
white gold, which is much like platii
num in appearance. One. pair of gold
buttons, rectangular in shape, had
a single diamond set in one corner;
It was a most effective use of tho

MUSICALLY cultured peoplf
are expressing an ever-inl
creasing interest in the New
Edison, for a comparison with any
other phonograph establishes, immeT
diately, the superiority of the Edison;
There is a difference between tlii
New Edison, with its diamond point
and its absolutely perfect reproduci
ing mechanism, and the ordinary
type i of needle machine. Now that
the Christmas rush is over, you will
enjoy the restful quiet of tho Steint
way Warerooms, at 1111 Chestnut
street, where you may hear the new!
est Edison re-creations. Their stock
of records is as complete as it is posl
sible to secure, and they still have
on hand a representative line of Edit
son phonographs ready for iramcdil
ate delivery. You will not regret
