BERLIN SAYS MERCER
IS PLAYING POLITICS
German Papers Criticise Cardi-
nails Actions in Rome.

Berlin, Feb. % Cby wireless to Say
Vile, y. Cardinal Mercier's re-
cent utterances and actions while in
Rome arc discussed to-day by the Ger
man newspapers. says the overseas
News Agency. which adds:
"The 'Nossische Zeitung' points out
that while the Primate of Belgium was
i'm Rome he was received by the Italian
members Of Parliament, Signors Lorant
and Destree. both of whom are well
known Free Masons. Signor Lorant
was the executor of the last viii Of
Professor Francisco Ferrer, the anar-
chist. who was executed IN Spain in
1909. which proves that CARDINAL Mer-
cier is very active politician.
"The Catholic newspaper, 'Koelnische
Nolkszeitung' recalls that Cardinal
Nercier's pastoral letter Of September
q. 1915, compared the Germans with
Lucifer and urged Belgians to pray in
the churches for Germany's defeat
when the Anglo-French offensive began.
"The 'Nolkszeitung' asks whether
Cardinal Mercier while in Rome met
the French Premier, VI. BRAND, by ac--
cident. i declares that Premier BRAND
is considered by Catholics an enemy OF
the Church"
The German government has not rc-
jected the British proposals for pro-
viding Belgian industries with raw ma
terials. declares the "Norddeutsche
Allgemeinc Zeitung," commenting on
Sir Edward Grey's letter to the Belgian
Minister in London on this subject.
The German government still has the
proposals under examination, the news
paper states. II suspects Britain OF
hiding her real intentions. II denies
that Belgium is being robbed Of coal.

TWO BRITISH PLANES

Gunners Then Fired on Both in
Excitement Over Raid.
fBy Gable 70 Ins Tribune

London. Feb. 22.--An extraordinary
statement was made by Captain Ben
nett Goldney in the House Of Commons
to-day. He had. he said, just come
from the Walmer- Deal district, where
there had been another daylight raid,
and, as on previous occasions, the
enemy aircraft had left these shores
unscathed. a month ago, when the
previous raid took place, no machines
were ready and no officers were present.
what happened he said, was a
battle between one OF our aeroplanes
and one Of our seaplanes. both Of which
mistook the other for the enemy. But
even that was not enough. for. having
witnessed the fray, our anti-aircraft
gunners turned their fire on both. and
in a vain attempt to bring them down
managed to damage the tower Of Wal
mer Church and iniure some Of the
men in the barracks near there

Crisis In Albania Near.

The crisis in Albania is approaching
with rapid strides. and the inevitable
conflict between the Austrians and the
Bulgarians with the Italian army at
Nalona is now only a question of days.
IL is becoming clear that the Central
Powers desire t. finish with the Al
bantam situation before undertaking
their main offensive against Salonca.
They desire TO free themselves from
all danger of a flank attack by seiz-
ing Albania from Scutari 20 the Greek
frontier.
Once they are masters Of Albania,
the German-Austro-B ulg arian armies
will threaten the entire Greek land
frontier from the Adriatic 20 the
Egean. They hope by this to discour-
age any eleventh-hour Intervention on
the part Of Greece on the side of the
Allies.
Such intervention is. OF course, un-
likely, if the only persons 10 be con-
suited were King Constantine. his pro-
German General Staff and his dOcile
government But there is moral fac

that Bulgaria has never forgiven the

army II was a neck-and-neck race,

government could hold the nation back

II is probably the knowledge OF this

Powers can make themselves masters
