Visit Of Cologne Cardinal to Rome
and Absence Of Belgian Church
Dignitary Connected with
German Peace Move
BY United Press.

By United Press.
ROME, December / "A subtle po-
litical battle is seen here in connection
with the presence Of Cardinal Hart
man of Cologne, Germany, and the abb
sence of Cardinal Mercier Of Brussels,
on the eve Of the forthcoming consis-
tory.
Germany is said to realize the I'M
portance of personal representation of
the German viewpoint in the various
war issues that are before the pope.
Cardinal Hartman has already dis
patched a number Of messages to
Berlin, believed to relate to prospects
that the pope will aid in ending the
war.
Fearing the effects of reports that
Cardinal Mercier of Belgium might
make, Germany insisted that the latter
travel to Rome through German terri
tory. Mercier, however. refused to go
any other way than through France.
Cardinal Hartman's presence here is
regarded as a peace feeler on the part
of Germany.

LONDON. Oct. 22.--tBy mail 1.-The
armies in northern France are prepar-
ing for another winter campaign. Re-
lief societies in England are taking
extraordinary precautions to see that
the trench dwellers do not endure
hardships such as they suffered last
year.
Within two months. every mile Of
British and Belgian trench will have
been equipped with square. boxlike
charcoal and coke trench heaters. es-
peclally made and costing $500 per
trench mile. II Is estimated that each
$500 contributed viii warm three thou
sand men. About four thousand of
these heaters already have been
shipped to the Belgian trenches.
Trench pumps will dry out flooded
trenches. Trench kitchens and trench
cooking supplies also win be in evil
dence. The frozen feet rheumatism,
ague and fevers that sent thousands Of
men from the trenches to hospitals a
year ago will thus be avoided.
Every fourth woman in Britain be-
longs to some relief society, most Of
whose members are knitting stock
ings, mufflers and heavy garments for
the Tommies aud their Belgian and
French allies.
Several societies and newspapers
have started Christmas pudding cam
paign for the soldiers. One news
paper got $4,000 the first two weeks.
No Tommy shall miss his Christmas
pudding, the campaigners declare.
Officers wives whose husbands are
serving in the Dardanelles have a So
ciety for sending Christmas cheer to
the men there.
Queen Mary will provide every sol
dier and sailor with a Christmas gift.
This honor last year fell to Princess
Mary. who distributed over million
handsomely decorated metal boxes
filled with food and useful articles.
The increased land and sea forces will
make Queen Mary's a more difficult
and expensive task.
