MERCIER'S "HOUR OF DELIVERANCE

It reflects the sentiment in tho principal allied countries during a season bright with achievement and
nromise. Indeed tho summer of 191G appeared to forecast a series of steady victories for the cause of civiliza

V.vtn so late as the mid-course of tho war tho jnagnitudo of Armageddon was insufficiently realized.
'ot for another year would the tragedy of Nivelle's off ensivo be recorded, while tho terrific blow struck by
Ludendorfi in his monumental drive was still two years in the future. The summer of 1914 was tho surpriso

That Mcrcier should imbibe something of the flavor of tho times was inevitable, and naturally his dis
course echoed his convictions. What Von Bissing knew of tho situation must, of course, have depressed him.
When frarful of German success, ho was quick to exert tho force of German tyranny. Hence his indigna

Louvain University and translated by the Bene
dictine Monk of St. Augustine's, Ramsgate,

Urusscls, July SS, 10 16.
POLITICAL Department of the Government General
of Belgium.
The Governor General commissions me to convey
hit thanks to your Eminence in reply to your esteemed
'et'er of the 25th hist, for the care and the prompt
ness which you. took to clear up all misunderstandings.
The Governor General recognises with pleasure that
your Eminence had no intention to add to the agita
tion discernible among the Belgian population.
Nevertheless, his Excellency must protest against
your Eminence's insinuation that the reports of the
vrmon preached at St. Gudule are the handiwork of
spies. Not one of thece reports comes from any one
m our service. All come from believing Catholics,
nho had noted with painful surprise the impression
tt made on the audience. Even Belgians disapproved
of your Eminence's, words, for they said they Jrtiiat
undoubtedly Iiaiv excited men's minds and exercised
nil influence on their conduct outside the church.
Without doubt your Eminence wishes now to fos
cr the belief that tho words which you employed
luive been misunderstood. But simple people noticed
n a special manner such phrases as "The hour of dc
'kcrance approaches, but lia-s not yet itruck." In
apitc of all the subtle qualifications with which your
Eminence enveloped them, these phrases stick in the
memory. The fact that the words spoken by your
Eminence have been misconstrued is at any rate cl
troof that you did not clearly take into account the
mvctble effect of your discourse.
Victory Forecast Worries Lancken
In spite of all your good intentions, your Emi
I'tnee hinders people from forming a true idea of the
i-lual situation. Your Eminence wrote that not one
if the commandcrs-in-chkf of the armies in the field
oiiM predict the end of hostilities. Accordingly, the
Governor General is at a loss to understand how your
Eminence can on your own account foretell the issue
nf the war. In any case, the Governor General earnest
'V entreats your Eminence to be on your guard for
tho future and to avoid all misundfreiandinga and
'or this purpose to refrain from uttering in public
ttatcments liable to mislead the people. Your Emi
nence has declared over and over again that you. knew
Tuitc well the temper of the Belgian people, but you
must not lose sight of the fact tliat declarations made
by an orator easily and very often produce effects
'luite opposite to those intended.
In conclusion I should like to rectify a mistake
made by yo'ir Eminence. In his letter of July 2U the
Governor General sajn: "This demonstration began
with your Eminence." The words "this demonstration"
referred solely to the sermon preached at St. Gudule.
The Governor General had no intention of discussing
with your Eminence the incidents which took place
during the evening. These have already been ex
amined by another authority. Hence the consequences
which your Eminence deduces from this misundcr
landing fall to the ground.
I ehall shortly have tho honor of answering in
detail the letter which your Eminence has addressed
to hc Governor General dated July 1C, and shall
'"w an opportunity also of touching on another
question, which, because of the agitation that it con
stantly keeps alive among the Belgian people, calla
'or a definitive solution.
Vleate accept the expression of my sincere esteem.

July 30, 191G.
Archbishop's House, Malines,
To His Excellency Baron von Bissing, Governor Gen
eral, Brussels.
I have the honor of acknowledging the receipt
your Excellency's letter No. G827, which you com
missioned Baron von der Lancken to write in your
"amo.
I'1 its general purport it recognizes and I am
Kind of it that my discourso of July 21 had been
j'-'mngly denounced. Tho report made to your Excei
Nicy -was incorrect, and thus the fundamental mis
understanding is removed.
Yet, on two points of detail, the author of the
inter declares that he is not satisfied. lie finds that
have assumed the role of prophet because I havo
said, "The hour of deliverance draws nigh." Next,
"at I falsely boast of knowing the temper of tho
"elgian people; tho demonstration of the 21st proves
" inciting in foresight.
But I did not say, "Tho hour of deliverance
"tows nigh" but, "The hour of deliveranco draws
n'8n, but has not .struck. Let us persevere in patience,
u? not lot our courage falter. Let us commit to
"ivine Providence the earc of perfecting our national
Mention." The first clause taken by itself is as
inSue a ita meaning is clear when read joined to
Ucoi'tc.-tl. This proves once more that any two lines
Kcn from an author are enough to hang him.
Imagine you havo bcfoio you a prisoner scn
wneed to a year's imprisonment. After eight months
fi durance you say to him, "Courage, my friend, the
our of deliveranco draws nigh." Do you think he
es not understand? The prisoner Is Belgium she,
lo understand!!. '
But you any, H eho understands, how is it that
she revolts despite your discourse, which you pre
tend to be soothing and comforting words? Either
your words arc not soothing or you do not under
stand the Belgian mentality.
First of all, I reply: Ts this real or apnarcnt ngi
SYNOPSIS
At boarding school Virginia "West
and Kathleen Foster were tho closest
fnendif hut after Virginia had mar
ried Jtming Anderson, who teas poor
and unimportant, there was not much
that the girls had in common. Kath
leen had been engaged to a friend of
Jimmy's, but she did not consider it
serious and broke the engagement.
Virginia, teho had ahcays had what
ever she teanted, discovered unex
pectedly that her mother had spent all
their available monetf and that she
and Jimmy would have to live on
fifty dollars a week. In' the mean
time Mrs. West marries unexpectedly
and goes to Japan.
A GREATER contract could not be
" Imagined than that existing be
tween Kathleen and Virginia as they
sat facing each other In the little living
room. Virginia's highbred little face
was pale and unhappy, she wore an
apron known as the bungalow type
which was stiff and unbecoming. Kath
leen was dressed in a smart tight-fitting
bluo suit with a close little hat. A
heavily meshed veil was tied over her
face and her beautiful skin looked like
polished ivory under the silky material.
As she sat facing Virginia her
thoughts Ytcre all of the fact that Vlr
cinia had mode a mess of licr lift1. She
had been stubborn and full of illusions,
she had bcou determined to marry
Jimmy Andcrton and to bo imor and
now she had been married only a few
days and hero she was settled for life
iu this dreadful little place.
"Well, dear," the said finally, "are
jou happy?"
"Oh, jes, Jimmy is a darling, but I
hato housework, and I'm so stupid
about it. I don't blame him for think
ing me a perfect idiot."
"Good heavens, could any one like
housework? I don't think so."
"Jimmy's mother does."
And Jimmy thinks that little Vir
place behind her in a perfect cyclone
oi disorder.
Tho cirls had a wonderful time. They '
lunched at ono of the big hotels and i
Kathleen shocked Virginia by smoking,
with perfect sophistication, a cigarette.
Thcro was something exhilarating about I
Doing in this wcli-drcsscu crowu, ac
tually a-part of it. eating and drinking
merrily nnd enioying all tho pleasures
of perfect catering, delicious food, spot
less linen and snorkling crystal. Vir
ginia was her old self, sho was the Vir
ginia of tho Palmcrtown play, bhe was
the naughty elfish pedlar. Laughing
and flushed she responded vivaciously
to Kathleen. This was Virginia's
world, where sho belonged, where she
had been brought up. It was all as
natural to her an the beautiful clothes
she wore, nnd this was what money
brought, money which she had never
appreciated until she understood what it
meant to do without it. All of the old
adoration' that Virginia had felt for
Kathleen at boarding school returned
now. Virginia was ready to forgive
Kathleen everything and she shuddered
n little ns she thought of the possibilitj
of Kathleen's being married to Dill, of
Kathleen washing dirty dishes. Kath
leen was a butterfly not meant to be
hurt by the sordid things of life. Kath
leen was different.
, Her brief sojourn in the world of
wealth and fashion brought back to
Virginia's beauty-loving soul all nf liei
love and enthusiasm. She was uBhnmod
of her gloomy thoughts of the morning
nnd she blew into her little apartment
nil verve and life. She had forgotten
the disordered bedroom nnd messv
kitchen. The fact that she had not
stopped to do nnj thing, so anxious had
she been to get out, did not occur to
her until, whirling into the living-room,
sho came upon Jimmy sitting very
quietly in a big chair. His face was
grave and displeased, it acted like a
damper on Vlrglnla'H radiant spirits,
but she flung ln-r warm young arms
around his neck as ho rose to greet her,
nnd ki"ed him eagerly.
Where have you been?" be nskrd
talion tho direct effect of my sermon? Did you not mother." laughed I Kathleen. s (Putting hor arms gently away from him. ,
acknowledge that on the 20th that is before my
sermon of the 21st was preached signs of this agi
tation were already visible? If instead of threaten
ing with six months' imprisonment or a fine of 20,000
marks any ono laying a flower at the foot of a na
tional monument, or being so bold as to close their
cufe or shop on Independence Day, you had shown
deference, even only by silence, to our national,feel
ings, the people would not havo been driven to de
fiance. ,
This is what I hinted at when I concluded my let
ter on tho 25th with these words, which, out of re
spect for my correspondent, I left somewhat vague:
"I did but utter words of charity and comfort; pro
vocation must bo sought elsewhere."
What is gravest in the eyes of the occupying
power, in tho demonstration of the 21st, is evidently
the incident that took place, "in tho evening when tho
Cardinal passed through the streets in his motorcar,"
it being understood that this demonstration brought
about tho sentence of condemnation pronounced by
tho Governor of Brussels and Brabant: "Therefore
I have suggested to the Governor General that ho
should inflict a fine on the entire population of Brus
sels. The Governor General has agreed to my sugges
tion and inflicted a fine of a million marks."
The Hundred Yard "Drive"
What was tho extent of this demonstration, of
which I can speak with knowledge, having myself
been a witness of tho event? Tho drivo, which tho
German Governor of Brussels and Brabant describes
me ns making in a motorcar through the streets of
the city was ono ol a good hundred yards, namely,
from St. Louis's Institute to Ihe point on the boule
vard immediately opposite Rue de Brabant
I took my place as quietly as possible in a closed
car, the windows of which were hermetically shut.
A few persons" accompanied me on this short journey
and cheered but without uttering n single sound that
could give offense to the German authorities. Tho
police, who had allowed the people to assemble freely
near St. Louis's Institute, then ordered quite unnec
essarily a bayonet charge while my car was taking
the most direct route toward Malines that is Rue
de Brabant. Once tho hundred yards of the boule
vard were passed nobody at all followed my car.
These arc the facts in all their simplicity.
Frankly, is there here matter for a fine of a mil
lion two hundred and fifty thousand francs? Moreover,
sinco your Excellency is quite willing to say that my
sermon at St. Gudule was not seditious, would it not
bo consistent and just to remit a punishment which
was justified in the eyes of the occupying power only
by this alleged act of sedition?
Receive, sir, the assurance of mv sincere esteem.
(Signed) D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER,
Archbishop of Malines.
For his part, the pro-burgomaster of Brussels, M.
Lcmonnier, in the name of the communal administra
tion of the whole of Brussels, addressed n request to
the Governor General to revise his decision. Baron von
Bissing remained inflexible and tho penalty was exacted.
Virginia laughed and flushed a little. , ' "j." , c '

CHAPTER XXVII
Fresh Arrests of Priests
AGAIN and again the Cardinal had complained to the
-Governor General of the harsh measures taken
against the clergy by the occupying power. He had
made It clear uua DCSiaes many omcr arnwoacKs tnai
had resulted from the arrest of priests and religious j
the exercise of divine worship and the maintenance of
classes in the colleges had been seriously interfered
with. The only remedy that Baron von Bissing could
find to meet this inconvenience was to order that fori
the future each bishop should be notified a3 early as
possible of tho repressive measures taken against any of
tho priests of his diocese. But this decision was car
ried into effect only during the months of August and
September, 191G.
'. t mete, August S, 1910.
Political Department vj the Government General of,
Belgium.
In the organization of divine ivorship, with a
view to prevent disturbances arising from breaches
of order by priests and the penalties inevitably re
sulting from them, the Governor General has decided
to bring each case as early as possible to tho cogniz
ance of tlieir lordships the bishops. Agreeably to this
decision I have the honor to inform your Emhwice
of the following cases:
An inquiry has been set on foot against Canon
Alfred Kips, director of St. Mary's Inttituto at Brus
sels, for havina retained and propagated forbidden
publications. The Abbe Bcrnaerln, parish priest of St.
Charles's at Antwerp, has likewise been arrested for
breaking the regulations of the censorship. Brother
Viaene, of Malines, also has been put under aiTetf.
He is found to have taken a part in clandestine cor
respondence. I offer to your Eminence the expression of tny
sincere esteem, nd interim,
