Cardinal MERCER. 1t is said that had
not the war occurred the Conclavc
may have broken the tradition and the
Belgium Cardinal might have been the
head of the Catholic Church. How
ever. ii is doubtful as to whether or
not he could have served his country
better.
year before the war Cardinal Mer-
cler long since a prominent member
Of the Royal Academy of Letters and
Fine Arts, was unanimously elected by
his colleagues of all denominations. Us
president of this most distinguished
body.
When Belgium was invaded Cardinal
MERCER came into great prominence
for his patriotism and his splendid
devotion to his people and when Won
Kissing, the German Governor General
of Belgium, sent Cardinal MERCER a
message to cease his political activity
the Cardinals reply was as keen as
a rapier and as Illuminating as
torch. HIS letter was published in
full in one of the New York papers
and brought forth comments of some
of. our greatest men of all religions
many of whom conpared him to ST

company with Indian idols, sculpture
and relies which are constantly being
added to by the reception. of relics
from all parts of the country. The
Government has decreed an owner
snip on All antiquities wherever found
in Mexico and has caused them TO be
brought to this Museum. As q result
there are idols from temples, orna
ments from palaces. jewels shields
and arms OF the rAztecs and Toltecs,
and picture writings. together with
curiosties dating to the days of the
Conquest. We have nothing in the
United States, unless II be the Smith
sonian institute to compare with this
remarkable museum. It is a wise plan
to secure guide in going through this
building and to purchase one OF the
catalogues which Is issued in English
and Spanish though everything Is sys-
tematized so that attendants and paint.

lection Is sngularly free from forg-
cries and in many ways is one az the

in conversation is that of a man who
knows and measures what he says and
seems to feel in advance what effects
these words will make. He looks one
directly in the eye and is an excellent
listener as well as talkcr. The black
habit with the cardinal red braid. the
gold chain about his neck with the
heavy gold cross at his breast. the
wide Cardinal sash and the black
skirted cassock all serve to empha-
size the old ivory whiteness and won
derful artistic appearance of the face
above them. To some there Is some
thing feminine about the Cardinals
face-indicating deep. yet refined.
sympathy and comprehension which
perhaps have come from his associa-
ton with so many suffering people for
none of his countrymen are too poor
or too humble to come to him for
aid. Always there is a crucifX on his
table and when the suffering ones
come to him TO confession or for spir-
itual comfort he holds this in his hand.

eight years gaining a perfect knowl-
edge of Flemish, the mother tongue
of Belgium. ard n good working edu-
cation in Italian and Spanish. SO
even before the war the Belgian prol-
ate was a prominent figure. His learn
ing and talent were so highly appre-
ciated. not only in Belgium but in
Rome. that when Cardinal Go&sens.
Archbishop of Malines, died the Pope
called upon Prof. MERCER to succeed
him as archbishop. His is perhaps
without precedent, as the archbshops
are usually chosen from the group of
bishops. y year later he was created
cardinal.
1t is little known that as Archbishop
of Malines he enjoys the right OF prec-
edent over all other archbishops of his
faith.
Might Have Been Pope
After the death of Plus y in August,
1914. Notwithstanding the Old tradi.
ton that an Italian prelate should be
elected Pope and the fact that Belgium
had already been invaded by Germany
and had been forced into war, several
votes were cast in the Concl1vc for

unearthed with difficulty. Chac-Mool
is sometimes spelled Chac-Mol.
In other rooms of the Museum are
the Macmillan and Juarez relics
Among them is an ancient carriage in
which JuareZ rode after assuming the
rule of Mexico. There are also pieces
of silver plate used BY different mon
archs in the Castle of Chapultepec
and articles of personal adornment,
arrows, and other objects of inter
est representing all stages of the
country The contents of this Museum
are so distinctive that 1t has no equal
in the world. Though there are so
many interesting relics in this place
no one knows how many are buried
underground and there are still a few
prehistoric stones which have been
left in the streets of Mexico City. One
Of these is at the corner of Gale de
Jesus or Street of Jesus. II is cur
iously carved and one can detect nos
trlls. mouth and other facial features.
1t is credited to Aztec times.
Fountains Well Presented
Among the interesting old relics of
early times in Mexico City are several
fountains situated in various sections
Of the place. Many are of great inter-
Nt because of the carvings and in
scriptlons. One is called FL Salto del
Aqua and IL is well preserved consid-
ering its great antiquity. II was a
part of the famous aqueduct. con-
sistng of a thousand or more arches
of brick and stone, which was built
to carry water from spring in the
hill TO Chapultepec to the heart OF
the city. A few of these arches re-
main. II is thought that FL Salto de
Aqua was the city terminus of the
aqueduct and IAN inscription on this
fountain says that 904 arches sup
ported this vast aqueduct between the
fountain and the salto and that It was
begun in 1877 and took fifty years TO
complete. A few years ago the wa.
terway was condemned as useless and
partly demolished but certain arches
were left and on them will be placed
commemorative tablets.

On the walls is the image of the Nir-
gin framed in glass and a pencil draw
ing of the Cardinal when he was a
boy. There is also a picture of his
mother. Through the window one
looks at his once beautiful garden
filed with dead flowers and grass by
the shells which have fallen there.
When he meets an American it is not
long before he voices his admiration
for Mr.. Herbert Hoover and his great
work in Belgium.

eventually land in the Museum in Mex
leo City where are many antiquities
and objects of interest. 1t will be Il
great addition to this Museum which is
one OF tho most interesting places in
Mexico. The Museum is near the
Cathedral just back of the National
Palace and already contains collec-
ton of Aztec monuments and other
treasures so unique that days can be
spent In going through the rooms.
When strangers are in Mexico City
they delight in going to the Museum
and each time one finds something of
interest which has not been seen be-
fore. Many visits are necessary to get
even faint idea of the Museums
riches and it is interesting to see the
quiet poems clad in their native cos
tunes looking at the various statues
1t suggests that at last the Mexican
peon may be learning to appreciate
the work of his ancestors.

silly cruel children and that 1 should
do something for them" The Cardinal
used these words publicly while the
Germans were in Belgium, yet only "a
weak letter came from the Governor
General warning the Cardinal to ba
more careful. To this he paid not the
slightest attention. but when his Ia
nous pastoral letter was read in the
churches in Belgium the Germans
were furious and made an attempt ia
imprison the Cardinal for they feared
to harm and sought revenge on thu
printer who set ii in type by imprison.
ing him and capturing the copies from
the less notable priests at point OF
bayonet. They destroyed $1,000 COP

forth 10 the world and all civilization
realized that Germany was beaten.

repeated here but some OF it is 50

sharp and incisive when written and
surely nothing greater than this adj
vice to his parishioners has appeared
during the war.
God will save Belgium. my breth-
rem, you cannot doubt it. Nay. rather,
He is saving her.
Across the smoke of conf1aSration,
across the, stream of blood have you
not glimpses. do you not perceive signs
of His love for us? Is there patriot
among us who does not know that
Belgium has grown great? Now which
of US would have the heart to cancel
this last page Of our national history?
Which of us does not exult in the

try gives to our enemy the blood OF

Then follows a justification of obed-

suggestion offered by certain citizens

"Assuredly all men of good feelings
will be with us in our reception OF
these paltry counsels. Mere militar-
ism is no sufficient rule of Christian

Office to instruct you as to your duty

wayside fountains in the suburbs d
Mexico City and one in particular IA
of great interest because of the in.
scribed stones planted near it. Many
of the old Aztec ruins and monuments
have been likened to those Of Egypt
and Assyria and Psychologists can
trace q connection in the style and
inscriptions. Many years could be
spent in travel in Mexico in inspecting
ruins and searching for carved stones
and monuments.
Home of Macmillan
OF course the most historic ruins
so far known are those of Militia but
there are also strange ruins and his
toric carvings near Cuernevaca. the
summer home of Maximilian. 1t takes
several days and n horseback ride to
reach some of these ruins but the
trip is well worth the discomfort.
Charles Dudley Warner SAYS that no
ruins in Egypt or Assyria can compare
with these in beauty. A temple in the
ruins of Xochicalco measures seventy
five feet long by siXty-eight feet wide
and is built of cut stone.
Cuernevaca means the Cows Horn
and 1t is city on ridge shaped some
what like horn. II is health resort
much visited by Mexicans and. for.
eigners and aside from the magnificent
climate, the charm of the place is en-.
HANGED by the magnificent views. some
of the finest in Mexico. The weight

fitting introduction to the expora-
ton OF the ruins situated in the near
distance. Besides a rock with pre-.
historic carvings near the old home
of Cortez, there are other remarkable
stones. One on high hill represents
lizard, nine feet long and about three
miles from this Is an eagle in stone
which measures three feet from tip
to tip.
FL Museo Nacional de Mexico Is free
every day except Saturday and no fees
are expected The nucleus Of the ex-
tensive contents was first preserved in
the vice-regal archives but in 1890 a
study was begun Of all relics and from
then on the collection grew and tho
highly interesting collection of Indian
idols, sculpture and relics is now per-
haps the most unique in the world.
