Cardinal AWes the Baron

The Baron's silence confirmed the Cardinal in think
ing that his recapitulation accurate.
81. You say, Sir Baron, that my letter is sedtous;
that it names the people against the occupying author
ty, and that you perceive already here and there
traces of popular excitement.
This is the third time that you have ventured to
address in language such this. The first time was
last January, when my letter on Patriotism and En-
durance appeared; the second time in June when, de-
prived of my motorcar, l compelled to walk
foot to Vlvorde in order to reach Brussels and this
is now the third time that you renew such language.

Von Der Luncken Sarcastic

"Oh, my mission is not to discuss but to com
municate TO your Eminencc the Governor Generals
views"
Still, it is necdful that should thoroughly under
stand his views. In word, presume the Governor
General wishes to know whether or not embrace his
way Of regarding things"
"Probably"
"1 believe can recaptulate as follows, Baron the
communication which you have just read to me:
|. Your pastoral Call to Prayer" which was
read in all the churches accompanied at times by
commentaries which emphasize still more its trend
is an nctement of political nature: it is bound to
produce among the masses political ferment, and
in fact, we have noted in than one place fore
signs of seditious outbreak.
2. Your Emnences attitude is so much the less
justifable in that you have given the Governor
General to hope that in the general interests
of the country you would cooperate with him in
racifying the people and also in that you are well
acquainted with the benevolent dispositions enter
tanned by his EXcellency Baron Kissing.
3. This attitude is with difficulty reconced with
your Eminence's frequent appeals to the Governor
General for the granting of favors to your fellow
Ctuntrymen
A. Lastly, the fact that your Eminences letter,
which was contemporaneous with the German troops
temporary setback of some kilometcrs on the line Of
battle is striking that it is not susceptible of ex-
PLANTATION save the outcome of a preconcerted
understanding of She Primate of Belgium with the
allied armies: and this to prove up to the ht
the political character of the pastoral letter.
ITO these four complaints, which believe epitomize
your communication, I desire to make at once COM
prehensiye reply"

The following day Won der Lanckcn presented him
self at the Archbishops House three-quarers of an
hour late, pleading breakdown of his motor as the
cause of the delay He conducted to the Cardinal.
The interview lasted about two hours, and the fol-
lowing is faithful account from notes made by the
Cardinal himself immediately after the Baron's de-
Darturc.
As soon as they were seated the Baron, after
informing the Cardinal that the document he was
ABOUT to read had been drawn up by himself at the
instance of his EXcellency Kissing aud had after
ward been approved by him, began the reading of four
or five fooscap pages The reading being ended, the
Cardinal asked if he might have the document The
answer was in the negative: "No, have my instruc-

says, are protraced do not yield beg to weariness;
let not to pray and do good; the must
wait for the harvest; in its good time it will

the Feast of St. Michael September 29th, and the first
days of the rosary month to redoube the ardo of their
prayers for the early deverance Of their Belgian

cast down into hell Satan and the other wicked spirits
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls

We should not enjoy living at Web

us all the kindness and good will
that heart could wish, and we are
also very pleasantly located here.
On the evening of October fif-
teenth, we were very graciously
pounded by the good people of
Webster and surrounding commun-
ity, Baptists, Methodists and Pres
byterians coming together, bringing
with them good things, such as are
useful in home. Blessings on the
good people, and may the blessed
Lord help US to be worthy of thei
love and kindness and repay then
| in part at least by actual service,
May I say further that the Lore
! has recently very graoiously honor
ed His work at Culiowhee and Web
ster. It has been my pleasure an
privilege during the late summe
i and fall to bury with their Lord il
Baptism thirty-four precious soul
. Twenty-four at Cullowhee, and te
