0RCIER'S PLEA FOR CHURCH WINS
AND IT ISN'T USED AS HOSPITAL
tfattrcsses Taken from 400 Old Men Despite Cardinal's Appeal Request for Reli
gious Help for Prisoners in Citadel of Diest Fails to
Bring Response
Explanatory Comment
mHE scopo of tho Gorman confiscatory methods in Belgium was not fully revealed until 1917. Tho invasion
! had been an extravagant orgy of destruction. Later, when tho pressure of the blockade was' more acutely felt,
j systematic plan for making use of all available material in Belgium, largo or small and of whatever char
ter, was devised and put into partial execution. Everything was inventoried. Into what details tho scheme
Was carried is illustrated by tho seizure of even tho m attresscs in tho old men's home in Brussels, to which
illusion is made below. ,
Tho greatest pains were taken to destroy scientifically machinery chiefly available to tho looters because
0fits metal. A highly typical performance was the engaging of a professor, Horr Quasebart, of the Technical
School of Aix-la-Chapello (Aachen) to suporviso the demolition of tho great steel works of Ougree. For
one machine no destructive apparatus was available, so the Horr Professor designed special machine in
irder that the annihilation process be entirely expert I
Tho Belgian bureau of information has since revealed an illuminating aspect of this savant's char
ter. After tho armistice, a commission was sent into Germany to look for stolen machinery. One of the
officers was a ncphow of M. Derson, a director of the works at Ougree. In tracing the appropriated goods ho
had occasion to telephono to Professor Quasebart. Before he hung up the scientist pleasantly said: "Oh, by
tho way, please give my kindest regards to your uncle when you write to him!"
Robbing the aged of their mattresses was, of course, easy enough, and the Cardinal's protest in this
instance was unavailing. Thero wore times, however, when the ingenuity of the Belgians completely frustrated
the German designs.
In the great Cockerill electrical works in Liege theie was an enormous gas engine which the Germans
weted, but they could find no railway truck large enough to transport its parts. They hunted everywhere
and to no purpose. Now the groat truck is in. the open again. Visitors who behold it arc as puzzled con
cerning its hiding place as the Germans weie.

Cardinal Merciers Story
Including kla correspondence with the German
authorities in Belgium during tho war, 1914 to
1918, edited by Professor Fernand Mayenco of
Louvnin University and translated by the Bene
dictine Monica of St. Augustine's, Ramsgatc,
England.
BARON VON DER LANCKEN, in replying to the
foregoing letter, endeavors, in accordance with tho
Governor General's instructions, to refute the accusa
tions brought against the occupying power by the Car
dinal in his letter of December 10 to Baron von Palkcn
hausen. Political Department of the Government General,
Brussels, December 19, 1917.
To His Eminence Cardinal Mercier, Archbishop uf
Malines.
The Governor General has handed me your
Eminence's esteemed letter dated the 10th inst. and
has askd me to reply to it. His Excellency declares
that heisunable to recognize the right by which, as a
IMqian citizen, your Eminence claims to use the in
fluence you derive from the position you occupy in the
Church. For your Eminence, invested, at you are,
idth very high ecclesiastical authority, holds a priv
ileged position and enjoys a protection of whichjhe
Governor General and his predecessors out of regard
for the Holy See have ahvays held count. From the
ery beginning of the occupation your Eminence has
wade use of the privileges attached to your ecclesias
tical position to foment a political agitation which in
the caw of a simple citizen would bring upon him
prosecution by the courts. It is for this reason that
the Governor General expressly adheres to his own
point of vicw,'viz, not to enter into correspondence
uith your Eminence except in questions of a purely
religious nature. In his quality of representative of
His Majesty the Emperor, the Governor General ex
acts the full recognition of his authority in the terri
tory under occupation.
I now come to th" particular points put forward
by your Eminence. In the first place, I should like
to remark that in regard to the perquisitions made in
churches in tho provinces of Hainault, an explanation
lias already been given by the inspector of military
areas to Ma Lordship tho Iihhop of Tournoy, and
the affair can therefore be considered at an end. Nev
ertheless, I should like to point out that thcic per
quisitions have eJiown the misuse to which churches
haie been put by concealing objects in cvci ; way pro
lane m places reserved for divine worship only.
In regard to the complaints made by your Emi
nence against Doctor Borms, the Governor General
thinks that the latter had good reasons for offering re
sistance to your Eminence when, in using your ecclesi
astical influence, you initiate a conflict with the legiti
mate aspirations of the Flemish people.
To sanction the sending of Belgian priests into
prison camps in Germany a question which for the
second time your Eminence raised rests exclusively
with the military authorities in Germany, but I feel
hound to remark that the mine authorities, in refus
ing tho candidates recommended by your Eminence,
yield to a misgiving, which from their point of view
is fully justified, for the political attitude which you
have assumed from the very beginning of the war has
not been such as to inspire them with sufficient con
fidence in your choice.
In your letter of December 11 you aoain brinn
fom ard your objections to the "Centrales." Ictr ring
to the statements I have already made, I shoirfd like to
call your attention once more to this fact that tho
difficulties of which you comjilain in regard to supply
ing the people in Belgium with food arc to be found
in evry belligerent country, even in those where 7to
orqanization of the kind exists. It appears to me
that it is not fair to make the Belgian "Centrales!'
responsible for all the difficulties.
So far as the Cure Jules Herman is concerned,
new arrangements have been made with which I
recently made your Eminence acquainted, ll'ifi re
gard to the closing of the schools at Malines, con
ducted by the Ursulines, I can only btatc to your
Eminence that I am not competent to deal with the
matter, but ah the same I will procure fuller informa
tion and if needful will be ready to revert to thiv
affaii later on, in case it is ever icopenel.
I present to your Eminence the expression of my
sincere esteem.
(Signed) ' LANCKEN.
are a certain number of unconsccrated buildings
where the wounded could easily be lodged.
I hope you will bo good enough to use your good
offices for the furtherance of religious liberty, and in
so doing you will ear,n my gratitude. I may add also
that, according to information received, your inter
vention is ui gently needed.
Please receive tho expression of my sincere es
teem. (Signed) D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER,
Archbishop of Malinps.
The Cardinal's request met with a favorable re
ccption. Tho church remained available for religious
purposes.

CHAPTER XLVn
The Religious Interests of Prisoners Detained
I in the Citadel of Diest
EARLY in March, 1918, the military authorities
brought back a large number of civilian prisoners
from Geimany, principally from the camp atJJoltz
minden, and interned them in Diest in a disused citadel.
The Cardinal, hearing that the spiritual interests of
these piiioners were neglected, lequested the Governor
General, using Baron von dor Lancken as an interme
dial y, to authonVo the parochial clergy of Diest; to at
tend to their wants.
Archbishop's House, Malines.
March 29, 1918.
To Baron von der Lancken, Chief of tho Political De
pal tment of the Government General, Brus
sels. Dear Baron At the prcstnt moment there aie
about 400 civilians, transferred fiom Germany,
lodged in a citndel situated in the small town of
Diest and rumor has it that their number will shortly
be considerably increased. Some of them are prison
ers, while others and these are in the majority
have aheady expiated their offense, but, I am told,
are being detained as "undesirable" under police sur
veillance. None of these men ever comes into con
tact with the priests. At the most they receive but
rare and flving visits from the German chaplain. I
earnestly request his Excllcncy the Governor Gen
eral to kindly authorize the local clergy to provide
lcgular religious sei"vices for those who are interned.
I tiust you will use your influence to procure this
authority. At the same time that I thank you in an
ticipation, I nk you to accept the assuiance of my
sincere esteem.
(Signed) D. J. CARDINAL MERCIER,
Archbishop of Malinps.
The Gov ei nor General lefused to grant th" Cardi
nal's lequest, but Buron von iter Lancken, in replying
to the aboe letter, guaranteed that the spiritual wel
fnic of the piioners at Diest, which had hitherto not
been oveilooked, would be even better attended to in the
future.
The Cardinal acknowledged the receipt of the let
ter of Baron von der Lancken and while taking note
of the assurance given by the Governor General, ex-
pleased his regret that his request had not been i
gi anted.
Archbishop's House, Malines,
Anril 2, 1918.
To Baron von der Lancken, Chief of tho Political De
partment of the Government General, Brus
sels. Dear B.iwn I duly received yours of April 17,
1918, in which you very kindly jnform me as to the
caie of the religious interests of those interned in the
citadel of Diest.
Though I very much l egret that Belgian priests
nie denied access to their compatriots, especially to
hear their confessions, I am grateful for the guar
antees given in your esteemed letter. In thanking
jou I would ask you to receive the assurance of my
sinceie esteem.

The Cardinal Requests Baron von der Lancken
Not to Convert the Church of St. Roch,
at Hal, Into a Hospital

March 29, 101R
TO Baron von der Lancken, Chief of the Political
" Department, Goveinrr.unt Geneial, I5uisseln
Dear Bnron I must draw your kintltnttcntion to
n rather delicate situation that has arisen nt Hal,
which, hy an effort of good-will, could' ho settled with
out any unpleasantness.
Tho local 'authorities wish to convert a rmrish
church, that of St. Roch, to ho precise, into a hos
pital. To do bo would entail tho disorganization of
divine worship In a parish of more than 3000 souls,
t a moment when the services are exceptionally nu
merous. The dean of Hal Informs mp that there
CHAPTER XLVIII
The Commandeering of Mattresses in the
Homes for the Aged of the Little Sisters of
the Poor Divine Service in the Prison
Attached to the Kommandantur
at Brussels
AT THE time when woolen 'goods were comman
deered, the Cardinal was informed that aged per-
.sons lodged in the homes of the Little Sistern of tho
Poor were thicatened with tho loss of their mattresses.
He theiofore requested Baron von der Lancken to inter
code with the Governor General in favor of the unfortu
nate old neople.
He also asked him to arrange to have mass cele
brated in tho Kommandantur prison at nn earlier
hour, so as not to prolong until a lato hour in the
I morning the fast of the communicants,
i After an inquiry which lasted three weeks the
Governor, Geneial decided that 400 old men, out of
450 inmates of tho Rue Haute nt Brussels, should
he robbed of their mattresses. As regards the hour
of divine worship at the Kommandantur no change
could bo made, Baron von der Lancken informed tho
Caidinal.
