MERCER NEVER LOST FAITH
Prosecuted Belgian Cardinal Always
Confident That God Would Save
the Unhappy Country.

Cardinal Mercier, archbishop Of Ma
lines, Belgium, was not actually i'm
prisOned by the Germans, but his free
dom was restrained. His offense was
the issuing of a pastoral letter to his
people in January, 1915, in which he
said: 'I have gone through most Of
the places in my diocese which have
been wasted. What l have
seen of the ruins and the ashes passes
anything that, in spite Of my most
acute fears, l could ever have mag
ined. Churches, schools, char
table institutions, hospitals, converts,
to a considerable number, are unfit for
use or are in ruins. Whole villages
have almost disappeared. God
will save Belgium, my brothers, we
cannot doubt it. Let us say, rather,
he Is saving her. Is there single
patriot who does not feel that glory
has come to Belgium? Which Of us
would have the courage to tear out
the last page Of our history? Which
Of us can look without pride on the
splendor Of the glory that our muir

BIG STANDING ARMY OPPOSED
Resolution Seeking to Take Control

Few Old Members May Bring Rev.

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-The contest is already
on between those who will be Classed
as militarists on one hand and pacifsts
on the other. Now that the war is
ended it IS quite likely that a great
many people who were for peace, but
supported the war because the country
engaged in it, will array themselves in
favor Of disarmament and for reducing
military expenditures to the limit. No
doubt they will be called "pacitists,
but that epithet will not carry with 1t
the stigma that was attached while
the country was at war. If every man
who wants to reduce the size Of the
army and cut down military expendi-
lures Is called pacifist, they will have
pretty goOd-sized party by that name
in few months.
The militarists will point out how
much quicker and easier it would have
been to win the war If the United
States had been fully prepared and
equipped in the beginning. No doubt
a great deal will be said about lack
of ordnance, munitions arms and 9TH
er war materials generally, as we'll as
the lack Of trained men, and these will
be laid down as arguments for larg-
er military establishment in the future.
The other side, however, will insist
that the United States went in and
won the war in 1S months and that
1t was with comparatively little diff
Guilty that an army was raised,
equipped, trained, and put into the
field. And so the fight will be con-
Quoted, but the prospects are that
congress will not favor a very large
military establishment.

People outside Of Washington do not
care very much what happens in regard
to the organization Of committees in
congress, and so to them the Norris
resolution Is not important. This res
olution is intended to defeat the pow
er which now exists in a coterie Of old
senator's because they are at the top
Of and control most Of the important
committees Of the senate. 1t Is rather
surprising that new senator's, and
those who have long served on COM
mittees Of little or no Importance, have
allowed the good places to be monOpo-
lized by the older senator's, but that Is
one Of the traditions - the senate.
The Norris resolution, in proposing to
distribute these good committee places
in o more equitable manner, may be
the germ Of a revolution. However 1t
does not make very much difference
about committee assignments, for a
man who can handle himself we'll In
debate can take care Of all the legls-
lHtlon he wants on the floor Of the SEN
ate and Is beholden TO no committee
assignment for his position in that
body.

In all cabinet changes that have
been made there never has been a
time when the secret was so we'll kept
as that in regard to the resignation
Of Secretary McAdoo from the treas
ury department. From the time a
president appoints his cabinet until
the end of his term there are constant
rumors of cabinet changes and it has
been the habit Of many Washington
correspondents when having nothing
else to do to write cabinet story.
But no one ever surmlsed or suggest
ed that Secretary McAdoo was going
to resign, save when the suggestion
was made that he should be candi-
date for governor Of New York. What
ever discussions may have taken place
and however many men may have
known Of the proposed resignation OF
Secretary McAdoo, not hint escaped,
even in a confidential way, so that 1t
could be whispered about from person
to person. It Is another evidence OF
the success Of the president in keeping.

Government ownership or control
Of public utilitie sis one Of the after
the-war or reconstruction problems
that Is going to cause a great deal OF
discussion, not only In congress, but
throughout the country. In view OF
the action Of President Wilson in
taking over the telegraph and
telephone lines at the time he did,
and later taking over the ocean cables,
It Is assumed that the administration
Is in favor Of continued control Of pub
lie utilities. When the bill giving the
president power TO take over the rail-
roads was being considered the presi-
dent was anxious that no time limit
should be set for the return OF the
railroads to their owners and man
ayers. However this wos one Of the
things In which the president could
not have his wny, and congress fixed
limit OF 81 months after the close
Of the war for the return OF the rail-
roads. A shorter limit applies to tele-
graph and telephone lines, Now these
public utilities will 60 bnck to their
owners unless there Is legislation, and
tho attempt to pass legislation con-
unuing government control viii be one
Of the big features Of the next con
gross. And what ls more, lt will not
be a party fight although the Repuh'
licans win be largely arrayed against
government ownership, There are
quite u number Of Republicans, who
were formerly known az progrossves
who are expected to support govern
mcnt control or ownership, At the
some time there are greot meny
Democrats who baked at the lden Of
government ownership Of public util.
tiles. Most Of these are from the
Southern atntes and they stlll cling to
doctrines which were popular in their
party In former days.
n IN expected that the contest viii
be brought on long before tho time ex'
plres when the various public utilities
are 10 be returned 10 their owners, Al
rendy resolutions on the subject hive
been introduced and they will be made
the subject Of discussion and no doubt
bills viii follow which viii bring the
mntter 10 n hoNd soon,
