DUTCH CHEESE
Belgian Prelate Tells How He
Distributed Famous
Document

philadelphia, Sept. 81. - At the
Metropolitan Operahouse meeting last
night Cardinal Mercier, after express
ing his gratitude for Americas help in
the war, related many incidents in his
life during the great struggle. One of
these was the methods he employed in
circulating his famous pastoral letter
of Christmas, 1914, in which he defied
Germany and bade his people be of good
heart and fight on toward ultimate vic
tory. The most successful method, he
said, was through the medium of Dutch
cheese.
THE Belgians like Dutch cheese"
said the Cardinal. There is frequent
commerce between Holland and Belgium
in cheese, and 1 had a friend on the
frontier who was making cheese.
asked him whether he would not use
my pastoral to wrap his cheese in. He
did, and while the Belgians ate the
cheese the Dutch had to digest my pas
toral"
Many Attend Luncheon
More than 500 persons, including
churchmen' of all creeds, city and state
officials and prominent businessmen
were seated at the luncheon, which was
given by the city a brief address
Cardinal Mercer thanked the people of
Philadelphia and of America for the
assistance given his country. II feel"
he said, that American sympathizes
with Belgium not because Mercier is
here, not because King Albert is COM
ing, but because you feel that Belgium
is sincere in its love and defense of
liberty"
