this period he was moro directly concerned
in the conduct OF the war than he has been
for many months past During all this
fearful struggle not shell fell on Mont
des Cats.
The losses Of the Germans in these early
attacks on Ypres were not less than 400
coo. The celebrated Prussian Guard was
sacrificed there in it's tens of thousands
under the eyes Of the War Lord
Probably the desire to recover the body
of the young German Prince, the Kaiser's
kinsman. was one Of the motives that
spurred the megalomaniac monarch in his
frantic assaults upon Ypres. One OF the
first results Of the capture OF that city
would have been possession OF the Princes
burial place During the battle the Kaiser
had diligently prosecuted inquiries as TO
the last resting place OF his nephew. He
had been able to trace him no farther
than the gateway OF the monastery. He
sent arrogant demands and then humble
requests TO the prior OF the monastery.
demanding that his Representatives should
be shown the grave and that the body
should be returned to him. To these de-
mands the venerable prior answered.
Il will have no dealings with the devas-
tator Of my country and the enemy Of
humanity"
There were several reasons why the
Kaiser should show concern about the
Young Princes body. The dead youth was
the son OF the Kaiser's youngest and fav-
orite sister. Princess Margaret fourteen
years younger than himself. Her distress
al the loss Of her son was naturally very
great and she importuned the Kaiser to re-
cover the body. Il has also been suggest

The offensive came perilously near to
succeeding Everybody knows that the
English newspapers discussed the posi-
bility Of not only evacuating Ypres, but
also the Channel ports In It's rear. The
Germans stormed their way into dominat-
ing positions on two sides OF the town.
They took the very important position
called Mount KENNEL TO the south OF
Ypres This Is one OF the series Of hills
TO which Mont des Cats also belongs. The
latter is the fourth Hill 10 the southwest
from KENNEL The Germans expected
that they would take the entire series
of hills. and Allied sympathlzers feared
Il.
An important objective OF the Germans
beyond KENNEL was undoubtedly the
town Of Huzebrouck. an important railroad
center behind the British line Mont des
Cats Is almost in q direct line from KEN
mel TO HazebrOuck
The Germans had thousands Of guns
large and small. within g few miles OF
Mont des Cats and they could have blown

damaged. the adjoining buildings less so.

last long 1t vas suddenly stopped and the
hin with its sacred ediices was most

Il was evident that only the urgent per

brought about this extraordinary interior

time he made another desperate effort 20

paper OF the Hague ran as follows;
Venerable Pri6r-An anguished mother,

OF her son, the only consolation that can
be given to her In this world for her great
loss You alone know where that body

Il pledge you my imperial word that
when you have complied with this re-
quest I shall continue 10 watch over your
interests with the most benevolent care"
To this letter OF the Kaiser. according
70 the same authority, the Prior made the
following reply:
'AfaieBty-You say, doubtless with truth
that an anguished mother asks for the
body OF her son, which IS supposed TO be
buried within our grounds But what OF
the hundreds OF thousands OF other
mothers who have lost their sons through

MID all the horrors OF war as
"a conducted by the Kaiser's
- army-the Smelling OF cathe-
drals. the destruction OF hospitals.
converts and schools-there is one
sacred spot that has been spared.
That is the Trappist Monastery
on Mort des Cats. just on the French
side OF the FTanco-Belgian frontier
and Immediately behind the British
front In Flanders. During practi
cally the whole war it has been
within easy range OF German guns,
but It has been consistently
spared.
Why has the monastery been
spared? Because OF its sacred char
acter, because of the widely known
reputation OF its monks for good
works. No. The Kaiser's troops
deliberately destroyed the Catholic
University OF Louvain and murdered
all who were found in its precincts.
They made an artillery target OF
the beautiful Cathedral OF Rheims.
No place has been spared by them
on account OF its sacred character
The monastery on Mont des Cats is
spared because within its precincts lies
the unmarked grave OF a stripping related
10 the Kaiser's family-Prince Max Of
Hesse, son OF the Kaiser's youngest sister,
Princess Margaret. That alone gives the
monastery a more sacred character than
all the churches In Christendom. than all
the graves OF ell the Allied and German
soldiers in every land.
