MERCER TOWER OF STRENGTH

Outlook: Cardinal Mercier is nearer
the heart Of Belgium than anyone else.
because no one knows so well what
she has suffered and no one has seen so
clearly all her moral grandeur. He has
been "all things 20 all men"-the EN-.
bodlment Of patriotism and courage.
/ read with amazement In the secretly
Of his letters TO Won Bissip or Won
Huehne. and wondered how II was pos.
slble for him to speak so plainly and yet
remain free No threat could still his
voice or paralyze his pen. In scath'ng
denunciation. with majestic scorn and
judicial precision he called the highest
authorities TO account for broken prom
ises and violated faith Unarmed, save
with the truth. his words must have
scared even their souls, and yet they
dared not touch him.
Again and again he pictures 20 them
war as they are waging it-stripped ot
all respect for human laws all morality.
all pity. all Christian considerations.
with. however the supreme sacrilege o.
invoking the name OF God in the midst
OF every atrocity and inside the verv
walls OF the churches they have ruined.
Shortly before he wrote his famous let
ter dealing with the deportations II WAS
my privilege 20 communicate 10 him
details OF the deportatlons In the prov
ince OF Hainaut. II was CHARACTERISED, I,
OF his thoughtful graciousness 10 send
me this word a few days later by one
OF his household: ''The cardinal wishes
me 10 tell you that the document that
viii now proclaim TO the world the
truth MS to Belgium's slavery contains
all the facts which you furnished him
from the Hainaut."

Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg VIII
fail as result Of the reichstag crisis
Wolff says It would be a curious, though
not surprising, dispensation If the chan
cellor should be toppled by attacks di-
rected against submarine warfare and
a policy which forced America into the
war after repeatedly risking his posi-
tion by persisting in an opposite course.
Reports on the crisis are that Foreign
Secretary Zimmerman retires with
Admiral Won Capele who succeeded Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz as head Of the min
istry of marine, and that DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg and Lieutenant General
Won Stein, Prussian minister Of war
and state, opposed vigorously the idea
Of peace without annexations, and thaS
General Won Stein read a letter from
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to Dol

TRUSTING TO DRY issue
Virginia Republicans Jntehd TO Make
prohibition ITS Chief Weapon in
s.trss ss:17ih 7:7G teiStEoJs
November. %Y3, a:EGisa

Roanoke, Va, Aug. Sl.-All doubt
of the intention of Virginia Republi-
cans to use the prohibition issue as
their chief weapon in an effort to
wrest the State from Democratic con-
troll disappeared here yesterday whan
George A. Revercomb delivered his
keynote speech as temporary cnair-
man of the State convention. Mr..
Reyercomb voiced in vigorous words
the sentiments of the party IN the
Western pant of the State that tins
should be the chief issue, and the
extent to which delegates from this
section outnumber those from East
ern Virginia seem to guarantee Its
adoption.
The speaker charged that in the
nomination of Westmoreland DAVIS.
Virginia Democracy has deserted pro-
hibition, and quoted from a leading
drv organ of the State that this was
the chief issue now before the peo-
pie.
The. absence of the State chairman,
Congressman Slemp, who was de-
tanned in Washington by pressing
business, made it's impress on the
convention, but there was, neverthe-
less, a hopeful air among the 9lo
delegates who assembled in the JET
ferson Theatre. Vice-c chairman n. w.
Crockett called the convention 10
order, and the appointment OF MI
Reyercomb as temporary chairman
quickly followed. Beside his refer
ence to the dry issue, Mr.. Rever,
comb denounced the Democratic ad-
ministration in Virginia as anti
ouated, and declared that the pres
ent war had been visited upon this
country as a punishment for Demo
cratic success at the polls. If it IS
won, he said, it would be by Republi-
cans.
The credentials committee had nc
contests to deal with and work YVES
expedited in every possible way, as
Senator James E. Watson, who came
here to address the convention, was
compelled to return to Washington
in the afternoon.
A committee on resolutions was ap'
pointed. Joseph L. Crupper, of Alex
andria, is member.
At the afternoon session Senator
Watson delivered speech, dealing
principally with the present war, II
which he laid partisanship aside anc
spoke as a patriot.
