GERMANS IMPRSON
CARDINAL MERCER
Prelate Had Issued Pas
toraI Letter Telling
Belgium'S Woes.
lBy Gable to The Thbune.I

London, Jan. 6.-An Amsterdam
dispatch to "The Daily Chronicle"
says: cardinal MERCER has been ar
rested by the Germans at Malines and
imprisoned in the archbishop's palace
under a strong guard.
"His offence is the publication of his
letter saying that the Belgians do not
owe the invaders obedience, as the only
lawful power in Belgium is that which
belongs to King Albert and his min
isters.
Germans are searching the whole
country for copies OF this letter, which
has been widely circulated. Some
priests also were arrested, but they
we're afterward released"
Copies of Cardinal Mercier's Christ
mas pastoral letter have been received
in London. The Cardinal began by a
description OF the sorrows OF Belgium:
"She bleeds." wrote the Cardinal.
Her children fall by thousands in our
forts and on our battletelds to defend
her rights and the integrity of her
territory. Soon there will be no longer
on the soil OF Belgium one single fam
lily which will not be in mourning"
The Cardinal then passes 20 de-
scription Of the devastation caused by
the German Invasion.

places in my diocese which have been
the most wasted. What have seen OF
the ruins and the ashes passes every

tions, hospitals and converts 10 con-
siderable number are unfit for use or
in ruins. Whole villages have almost
disappeared.
Answering the question, What will be
the effect of the war upon Belgium

Sergeants to Lose No Time.


1t is considered highly probable that
the Police Lieutenants' Association and
the Patrolmen's Protective and Be-
nevolent Association will promptly
follow the example set by the other
two police organizations.
Tonight at Terrace Fi, sent the en-
tire body OF the police serseants' as
sociation will assemble in special
meeting TO ratify the action taken by
the executive committee yesterday. II
is significant that to-night's meeting
has been called in advance of the regu-
lar monthly meeting of the organiza-
tion, which will be held on January a.
II was learned yesterday that the SER
geants' association meets regularly on
the second Thursday of every month at
Terrace Garden, while the Patrolmen's
Protective and Benevolent Association

order 10 meet the exigences of the
three platoon system. 1t was stated
last night by an official of the latter So
cety that next Tuesday the patrolmen
will repudiate the statement of Mr..
Ellison by an overwhelming vote.
The Police Lieutenants' Association
has no regular meeting day, although
its sessions are held subject to the call
of its president, Richard Enright, at
Terrace Garden, as occasion demands.
1t was prophesied last night that
meeting of the association would be
held within the coming week to take
some action upon the Woods-Ellison
controversy
Unless Mr.. Ellison insists upon the
continuance of his contract as counsel
TO the four organizations, which he in
timated last night he would not at
tempt to do, he stands TO lose annual
ietainers amounting TO $4,000 a year.
This sum, il was learned yesterday, is
divided as follows: Sergeants' associa-
ton, 81 900; lieutenants'. $1,000; cap
tains' and inspectors, $500, and patrol
mems, $7.500-or an assessment of 81
each for the last named grade. Ii is

ton notifying the members that about

 SAFELY AT KATALLA

KATALLA, Dec. 13. - When the steamship Admiral Farragut, on her last trip to Seattle, passed Katalla on account of the bad weather, there was some anxiety over the return of Judge Robert D. Gray. whose pres ence here was required to perform the marriage ceremony for Miss Lilly Erussard and Oscar D. Knuteson Preparations had been made for the wedding to take place December l, but the non-arrival of the judge made postponement necessary. However, the judge was transferred to the steamship Evans, on which he made the return trip, arriving in Katalla Friday morning. The happy couple were made one at o'clock Friday afternoon in Peterson's Hall, which was prettily decorated in honor of the event. Supper was served and danc- ing enjoyed by those present.

MRS. LENA MORROW LEWIS
 ID LECTURE TONIGHT

Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis arrived this morning on the Northwestern from the westward, where she held a series of meetings at Anchorage, Seward and Valdez.
 The Prospector of Valdez com mented flatteringly on Mrs. Lewis lectures there, and those who have heard her in Cordova or elsewhere know that the compliment Is well earned. Mrs. Lewis will speak to- night at the Empress Theatre. The subject will be Government Owner ship vs. Social Ownership"
 Mrs. Lewis will endeavor to show the difference between government ownership as 1t operates under capi- talism and social ownership under a Socialist order of society. The ques- ton is very timely one, and will no doubt attract large audience. The lecture will begin at S:S0 p. m., and everybody is cordially invited to attend.

WILL FREIGHT TO ANCHORAGE VIA
 PORTACCE

The Valdez business men are stalk ing a trail from Portage Bay to An chorage for the purpose of freighing supplies to the latter place this winter.
 It is believed that heavy passen- ger travel between Anchorage and the outside will also begin shortly. Opinion is divided as to the route which will prove most popular for tho winter travel. Many of the oldtimers believe that Portage Bay will be the logical route, as 1t will affect a say ing of more than fifty miles of diff cult travel as compared with the Seward route.
 The pass over the divide from Turnagain Arm to Portage Canal Is only eight hundred feet above sea level at the highest point, while the Seward divide is said to be more than 2,20O feet high and wind-swept There are road houses at both ends of the Portage Passage route, which would accommodate the travellers. The road house at the head of Portage Bay Is kept by MT. and Mrs. Ed. Gris- set, of Cordova.

PILEDR|VER FUR NEW DOCK AT
 F|DALGO

The launch Waif arrived in Cor dova from Katalla Sunday morning, to take a pile driver from here to Fidalgo Bay for the Alaska Mines Corporation. During his recent visit here Manager E. D. Reiter arranged with Superintendent Corser for the use ofthe pile driver.
 The company is building a wharf and ore bunkers at Fidalgo, which will permit of large steamers landing at any time and discharging or taking on cargo. The approach to the dock will be three hundred and seventy-six feet long with T one hundred by forty feet.
 Native hemIock piles are being used in the construction of the wharf and the management has under con sideration the concreting of the piles. which would make them inde- structible from insects. A new scheme patented by a Juneau man has been devised whereby piling can be en- cased in concrete at cost consider ably less than the expense of re newing the piles, and the system will be investigated by MT. Reiter on his next trip to the States.
 The construction work on the wharf is under the charge of Lars Holland, who made a reputation for himself as a road and bridge builder
