' Tho race cf informers, it is said, has increased. What value can their declarations possess, inspired as :y are by hatred or rancor or base cupidity? Such auxiliaries could oiler no Useful aid to the task of justice. $ $ "If we add to this total absence of control and defense the preventive arrests and tho long penoas 01 ! detention, and if to these we add the domiciliary searches, we shall have almost a complete vision of the mental &,) itorture to which our aspirations, our thoughts and our liberties are at present subjected.

A. I. SS98. June 28, 1916. fO His Eminence Cardinal Merckr, Archbishop of J Malines. I acknowledge receipt of your Eminence's es t teemed letter of the 23rd inst. First of all, to avoid l all confusion, I ask you to note that in my letter of I June U (No. 5193) I did not deplore the severe and I deserved condemnations incurred by priests before J military courts; I simply manifested my lively regret to discover that in certain dioceses, in spite of all ;y J my cjjurts 10 get 3upvnur egcu-otiKfi-ttij iu ih;i.uxjiw,v ly the priests subject to them, the- number of breaches L , against my regulations committed by members of the X clergy had not diminished. S I Even lately ecclesiastics have not hesitated tQ x ,i profane the sacred character of their churches by tjr poisoning therein the spirit of the Belgian people and , inspiring it with hatred. From the pulpit they have R, 1 hurled against my country and Jc occupying ptwer 5, insults and baseless accusations. They ought to be A punished for having been, if not the authors, at least j I the propagators of publications vilely insulting. a We could not tolerate the assistance given by J priests to secret organizations having for their object ito injure Germany aiul increase the forces of our ,E? j enemiea already so considerable, by permitting Bel- fi I gians of military age to cross the frontier. H i Although I do not indulge the hope that these ar .i fresh decla-ations will result in changing your Emi tlf 4 nence's opinion on the grave breaches of which mem- bers of the clergy never cease to render themselves guilty, yet I cannot omit a refutation of the mistaken notions which seem to form the basis of your judg ment. I regard it as my chief duty to protect most energetically, in the part of Belgium which we occupy, the German interests of which his Majesty the Em peror has made me the quardian. I should fail in this iduty if in compliance with your Eminence's wishes I refrained from prosecuting those icho commit acts fthai endanger the security of the empire and those who urge the people to commit them. Be also impartial enough, my Lord Cardinal, to respect our patriotic f&eling3, you who not only pay homage to the vatriotic demonstrations of the clergy ot " t and people of Belgium in general, but encourage them B4 in circumstances which are of a nature to create in jji I tolerable situations. As to the rest of my letter, I tal J feel bound, in order to avoid misunderstandings which e might easily have unpleasant consequence for those east. 1 concfirnei to make the following statement: During tense' j "le occupation the only legal political power in the gageme occupied territory is what I exercise. To this power nragedj,y0ie is obedience due and not to the king of the Bel CPUnT'"" anc '" government, whoee power in the oc YnU ' Med territory is in fact and in law extinct. Should Jibs obedience be not willingly given, I am then compelled-to exact it by the enforcement of the German pen&l.laws. tonher These laws are applicable to all the inhabitants niirdr of the occupied territory without any exception as to i persons. The courts only do their duty when they . enforce these laws justly and without consideration of X the percon arraigned. According to the principles of German jurisprudence, they must not yield to any in Xfluence nor permit themselves to be enticed to deliver lUudtiment according to instructions. j On myself alone rests the responsibility for the n maintenance of order and the welfare of the popula tion, and it belongs to me alone to judge of the fitness J of the steps that must be taken for its preservation. ll?have never ceased to appreciate the Belgians' pa- triotism nor have I forbidden its legitimate display. t It is now two years since I accepted the office 5 of Governor General. If during that time in spite of the incessant instigation to hatred and passive rc swfance against the state of things caused by the oocuvation the Belgian veovle have remained calm, hypnotiJinhd, as I acknowledge, given proof of being better Bcnott. Isposed toward us, it must surely be ascribed to the was insane)'' ' nave talien steps that are just but which lag her," meccssity at times renders severe. In so doing I am onscientiously performing a duty, which is to watch n-fr ' welfare of the land intrusted to my care and ft. Ahe fulfillment of which I have much at heart. ut3Ti T present to your Eminence the expression of my Alleged fUb. 20, f was, pen."3 VS himf losri'1 me den inc' c j tied dar lor.t Sets' 3 ttoTe fi Jjfltb, a feat sh if V J (fctttpfefc imcerc esteem.

Another comnlaint Certain members of rgy assist ladj to join the Belgian army. But :cellehcy surely Id not unaware that .Belgium ""vJ-- m" through ' ?. t enemy belligerent nations? These noble souls that run the risk of the most severe punishments, even electrocution, to go and defend their country, can you impute jt as a crime to a priest that he should share this admiration? Some of these brave youths fall by the way victims of their patriotic bravery. Are they not more than a sufficient ransom for your military regulations ? Others reach their goal and add a few units to the handful of soldiers of the Yser, but can they cause disquietude to an army of eight and a half million? This last remark is not mine, but it was flung at us months ago by one of your most promi nent chiefs. It was not the time then to take it up. Third. Your Excellency "has, you say, to guard German security, die "deutsche Sicherheit," and must therefore take account of every act likely to bring about unendurable situations, "unhaltbaren Zustan den." Such indefinite expressions are not of a kind to promote the understanding for which your Excellency had craved my co-operation. Certainly the Governor General's vigilance should include the whole army of occupation; but should it sacrifice thereto the Bel gian people? Your Excellency is kind enough to re peat that you have at heart the welfare of the country intrusted to your administration. A country's chief blessing is its liberty. Treat, I pray ou, the Belgians as a nation not yet conquered. Do not ex asperate them by claiming to stifle in their breasts their hopes of a better time to come. Your vigilance will be thereby less frequently demanded. He Speaks for the Nation's Soul We too are concerned to reconcile the welfare of the Belgians with the security of the Germans, for we aim at respecting the rights of nations. Thus whatever turn military operations may one day take, we shall preach to our people what we have preached to them long before your regiments ever trod the Belgian soil, namely, that we must commit to our army and to our loyal allies the defense of our lib erty. Your Excellency sees but one danger to the public order, the extolling of the virtue of patriotism. I see another, the exasperation of a people unjustly oppressed. Your Excellency sees but one remedy for the evil that you fear, Might. I see another and a better one, respect for civic dignity. I believe I understand better than any foreigner the Belgian people's souL Fourth. Anxious to obviate misunderstandings, your Excellency devotes the second part of your let ter to a statement of principles on the situation of the occupying power, on the responsibilities which weigh upon you, on the method by which you intend to govern us. On this point, Baron, there is between us a funda mental and irreducible divergence. A nation has only one legitimate supreme author ity; two are quite inconceivable. As long as Belgium is not recogniz-d by interna tional lawvas a constituent pert of the German Empire, the occupied provinces legally and morally depend on (heir legitimate government and on it alone. The occupying power possesses an authority "de facto" but can claim no "right" to such possession. The occupied country has to submit to the "do facto" authority. Obedience, as a moral obligation, is due only to the authority of the legitimate government, which, de spite the momentary obstacles limiting its sovereign prerogative, is and remains the government of the country. I am quite aware this legitimate government re quires us to accept, without any signs of external disaffection, the regulations of the occupying power, so long as these violate neither international law nor our dignity as patriots. I am aware also that with these limitation"!, the above-mentioned govern ment expects us to observe these regulations in order thus to spare Belgium falling into a condition worse than that which has been imposed on it by force. It is for these reasons we respect these regula tions ourselves and enjoin others to do the samp. But when the occupying power violates The Hague convention or does violence to our dignity as men or as citizens of the Belgian nation, we must raise our voice in protest. Your Excellency attempts to stifle this protest and reserves to yourself the right to speak, saying that, "You alone are qualified to judge of what the public order and the welfare of our population demand." Excuse me, your Excellency. The Hague conven tion is not a decree of an occupying power, but an international contract. This contract Germany has signed in the same way as Belgium. We are power less to restrain the power of your military arm, but we have the right, and at the same time the duty, of satisfying our conscience in reminding you that an account will be exacted from you one day before the international tribunal of The Hague and also before history of the use or misuse you have made of the weapons of power. The empire that you represent has pledged itself at The Hague never to misuse this power, if ever it came into possession of it. You are bound in con science by this pledge. Kant, to whom must be at tributed the perversion of all German philosophical speculation and against whose influence I am proud to have struggled throughout my career, divorces right from morality. Hence the notion which identifies right with an authority devoid of aught save the simple power of coercion. Against this arbitrary menta' identification, justifying as it does despotism, the conscience of humanity protests. I fear your Excellency, in spite of your natural uprightness and religious sentiments and the promise made to us, in writing or in conversation, to alleviate our misfortunes and to heal our wounds, is dominated unconsciously by this false notion of government Thus it is that today you declare to expect from stern severity alone tho consolidation of your power of occupation. Receive, dear Governor General, the expression of my sincere esteem. (Signed) D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER, Archbishop of Malinc3. (CONTINUED TOMORROW) h no fJi1 of mire nywo fopirtoif, Canada, lito.
