Strong Hand, Just Spirit"
German Policy in Belgium

London, Jan. 2.-The German semi
official organ, the "Norddeutsche ALICE
meme Zeitung," publishes a long ar
ticle from Brussels defending the Ger
man military authorities in Belgium
from the charge OF undue leniency 10
the Belgian population. Following are
the salient passages:
"A strong hand must combine with a
Just spirit 10 govern a country under
conditions now existing in Belgium.
Every exaggerated form of mildness
and all sentimentality must be avoid
ed, and will be avoided. But true
strength will always be just. 10 will
be rigid, If need be, but never unneces-
sarily harsh.
an the conquerors' own interest the
German government in Belgium is do
ing its utmost to restore oldtime eco
nomic conditions, to give the working
masses employment and bread, not IN
order to be kind TO Belgium, but 60
avert the possibility of famine and dis
ease behind the front of our army, en-
dangering its security and health. Ger
many has therefore gladly permitted
provisions to be brought IN from neu-
trail countries in order 20 spare do

troops from a shortage Of supplies.
Critics of our mildness should ass
themselves how Belgium is to perform
the financial obligations laid upon her
if her life nerves are crippled. II is
the right of the victor and a duty
to his own army to compel the coun-
try to pay a money tribute which
without prejudice TO later war m
demnity, shall be taken from the eoun-
try in the form of contributions.
ave now demand the payment by
Belgium of si20,000,000 within a year
In the eyes of many people this sum
seems ridiculously small. In truth,
however. il represents the present out
side limit of the financial capacity OF
Belgium, which has suffered so heavily
from the war. The values destroyed
in Belgium thus far are estimated a.

OFFICERS OF HOBOKEN LINERS.
IN DISGUISE. REACH GERMANY
Thirtyhree Men, Posing Sailors Stewards and Even
Stokers Run British Gantet and Now Are
Fighting for Fatherand.

If the British fleet should by any
chance be defeated by the German
feet. thousands of German and Aus
trian reservists would flock TO Hoboken
with the expectation OF being trans
ported TO their fatherland aboard the
fourteen German steamships which
have been interned there since the be-
ginning of the war
But they would be disappointed, be-
cause there are not enough officers lett
aboard the German ships to even start
on such a voyage, let alone complete
ii. Out of a total of thirty-six officers
on one of the largest steamships only
three are left, and they are old men.
The others, all young blood, have grad
ually disappeared. Among the sailors
interesting stories are being told OF
how their superiors contrived schemes
to answer the call Of the fatherland,
took passage on neutral ships and
managed TO pass through the Englis
lines and the strict British censorship.
Every German steamship officer is
an officer in the German naval reserve.
Since the beginning OF the war, Ger
many has been busy day and night en-
larging her navy in order 70 prepare
IL as much as possible for the final
struggle with Great Britain's navy on
whose outcome the destinies OF Ger
many may depend.
While there is an abundance Of men
in Germany to man the new war ves-
sells which are being built, there has
been q decided lack Of trained naval
officers. So the Kaiser issued call for
all available naval officers informed in
this and other neutral ports. This in
itself is not a violation Of neutrality.
But it involves great risk to those who
endeavor to execute the kaiser's com
mand.
Among the men stories are current
about the schemes used by the officers
TO get away. They tell how an officer
would remain in his stateroom for
days at time and grow q beard, and
disappear suddenly from their sight.

MUST CARE FOR WIFE'S KIN
UNDER ALL CONDITIONS
The LEGITIMACY of the wife's chill
dren is no excuse for. a husband not

Frank Glissie, 5O27 School ST.,
hailed into the court of domestic rela-
tons by his wife Sophy, pro-
tested that he was not the father of
two of his wife's four children and
felt he should not be asked to sup
port them.
Judge Wells ruled against him. He
said husband was responsible for
his wife's children, no matter who the
father was. He declared that the
common excuse given in the court of
domestic relations by husbands up
for nonsupport is, 'The child is not
mine"
Judge Wells cited precedent in a
case where a man, returning after
three years at war found his wife with
children not his. In that case the
court had ruled that the returning
soldier would have to care for, the
children.
Glissie was ordered to pay his wife
SIS a week.

When our Lord granted to His apos-
ties the power of forgiving or retain
ing sins, He thereby Instituted the
Sacrament of Penance for the remis-
sion of all grievous sins committed
after baptism. 1t is undoubtedly His
will that all Christians should receive
this sacrament. It's reception, in a
rational manner, however, is impos-
sible without confession.
