German emperor, has not left the
grounds Of Ameronbgen Castle since

ligious service conducted by Count
Won Bentincke, or the counts son. The
day closes with another walk in the
gardens. The officers of his suite,

emperor. The Bentincke family again
emphasizes the fact. that they re-
ceiyed the former emperor only at the

dent Fooled Enemy.
By the Associated Press.

BRUSSELS, Saturday, November %,

Max. two Of the most prominent fig
King Albert, received the Associated
Press correspondent today. Both men
are as different physically and men,
tally as the ideas, ideals and opinions
they represent. Burgomaster Max be-
ing one of the leaders of the liberal
party. while Cardinal MERCER is the
most prominent Catholic in Belgium.
You have saved u.s." said the car
dinal, when asked what he thought
about Americas participation in the
war You have saved the world"
Cardinal Mercier is tall and digni-
fed He was CARRIED in a purple SOU
tame. He chatted with the CORE
spondent for more than half an hour.
Cardinal Never Lost Hope.
Il never despaired. I never lost
hope, although at times my heart was
very full" the cardinal said. referring
to an incident in December, 1914, when
Earon Won Kissing. military governor
of Belgium, virtually made him n
prisoner i'll his episcopal palace. II
received a telegram from the Asso-
ciated Press and have never been able
to answer it. i wish to reply to it
now:
Eyes, Kissing treated me as a pris-
oner for four days."
Concerning the governors of Bel
sium during the war, Cardinal Mer-
cier said that Falkenhausen was more
cruel and inhuman than Kissing, and
more perfdious, insidious and dan
Eerous.
There was not much to choose be-
tween them. however" he said.
Referring to the change in the gov
eminent of Germany, Cardinal Mer-
cier said: Il am no politician. How
ever, the changes there seem too sud-
ment appears to me like camouflage
TO the autocracy, and the changes
seem to have been made to order ac-
cording to prearranEed schedule. 1t
is Gods justice and the public con-
science is satisfied. The triumph of
justice is complete; the barbarian de-
vice that might is right has received
it's death blow; the dream of pam
German domination has been shattered
and evaporated like noxiouS gas in
the wind. and. thanks to Gods justice,
right has triumphed and the Belgians
once more are free and Independent.
We have won the war"
On receiving confirmation of the rumor

Europe. Cardinal MERCER said that he
was a great admirer of the President,
