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

Cardinal Mercler, archbishop of Ma
lines. Belgium, was not actually i'm
prisoned by the Germans, but his free
dom was restricted. His offense was
the issuing of pastoral letter to his
people In January, 1915, in which he
said: II have gone through most Of
the places in my diocese which have
been wasted. What I have
seen Of the ruins and the ashes passes
anything that, In spite of my most
acute fears, / could ever have imag-
ined. Churches, schools, char
table institutions, hospitals, converts,
to considerable number. are unfit for
use or are In ruins. Whole villages
have almost disappeared. God
will save Belgium, my brothers, we
cannot doubt 1t. 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

IS a Pound For Sugar.

The Shreveport Times of the 4th
has the following. which may be Of ill.,
terest to many dealers:
Lee Hanias, proprietor of the Mi
lam Cafe, whose August permit for
sugar was revoked Friday by Food Ad-
misiStrator Kalmbach, was hailed be-
fore the authorities again yesterday.
As Il result Of the investigation yester-
day, Hanias donated u check for $50
to the Red Cross chapter.
;" 1t is said that after being refused
more sugar by Mr.. kalmbarh, Hanias
prorured fifty pounds on an old permit
whish he had. When this was discOy-
cred. the retailer who had made the
sale demanded the return of the shgar
Hanias returned forty-five pounds, and
claimed that five pounds had already
been used.
" Mr.. Kalmbach called upon Hanias
for setatement in the matter, and
after some discussion, the restaurant
keeper finally suggested that he be
allowed to pay s. to the Red Cross for
every pound Of sugar used, which was
agreed upon. Hanias gets no sugar for
the rest OF the month.
. Mr.. Kalmhach issued an additional
warning to all restaurant keepers that
any one further violating the sugar or
wheat laws would not be shown the
leniency exercised in this first case, but
would meet with the full extent of the
laws governing these matters
