this shall be complete success. we
are convinced that it is necessary to

German Press, Censor Free, Has
nieh Words for Cardinal NeTcieI

OF sympathy for Belgium, or Of love
OF country, an act of hostility against
Germany, and in Cardinal Mercier
one Of the bitteriest of Germanys foes.
We delighted in reproaching him with
misusing his high ecclesiastical posi-
tion to injure Germany. Only the de-
liberate and willful misconception
and neglect of moral worth and the
impossibility of appreciating other
peoples attitude-qualities which have
everywhere mitigated in no small de-
gree against us-can explain such a
judgment of the Cardinal. Other fac
tors in the matter were the disgust of
certain circles for everything Catho-
lie, even in their own land, and the
foolish depreciation of Belgian INTEL
lectualism aggravated by the over.
estimation of our own worth.
THAT Cardinal Mercier was far
from entertaining any un.Christian
hatred and desire for revenge is
proved by his actions since the re.
turn of the tide. He is said to have
I pleaded very insistently with King
Albert and President Wilson to &C.
cept the German petition for an ar
mistice, and when the German troops
were leaving Belgium to have sue
cessfully exhorted the people by SER
mons and placards on the church to re.
frain from all excesses. Then when
finally his country was fully delivered
he is reported to have devoted his
energies to the care of those Germans
who remained behind in Belgium
His sermon at St. Gudule in Brussels
on the occasion of the solemn Tie
Deum attended by the king and the
chief civil and military authorities is
stated to have been an exhortation tc
Christian forgiveness and reconcila
tion."
The writer then quotes the lette1
of Cardinal Won Hartmann to Cardina
Mercier, in which the Archbishop O.
Cologne urgently and confidently i'm
plores the Belgian Pr1mate to use hi,
great influence for the amelioratio,
of the terms Of the armistice, as Ger

London, Jan. 10.-So far as Is known
at present. the first public parsonage
to do honor in Germany to the Primate
of Belgium, was Socialist Deputy to
the Reichstag. So far at least as the
Catholics are concerned there is GER
tain evidence that Cardinal Mercier is
not without admirers among the ranks
of his fellow Catholics in Germany.
In recent issue Germania (No. 574),
the leading organ of the German
Catholics, publishes a long article on
the Belgian Cardinal which it pre-
faces with the introduction Ger
many's views with regard to repara-
ton extend even to the domain of
morals"
Without any hesitation the article
acquiesces in the attitude of the Car
dinal during the war, and the writer
continues:
To-day we may openly acknowledge
that everything that has been written
in Germany concerning Cardinal Mer-
cier was more or less false, or, at the
very least, distorted, and that the
merciless attacks which were made
upon him, not merely by certain Sec
tions of the press, but also from Off
cial quarters were either due to ma
tional Pan-German jingoism or to
combatant zeal for kultur.
War psychology blinded us to the
realization of this man, as TO many
other facts-this man, who was a Bel
gian, and so had natural affection
for his country and a perfect right tc
stand up for it, even after we had in
vaded it. AS patriot, Cardinal Mer
cier would naturally condemn the vic
lation of Belgian neutrality, and de
sire the victory and rehabilitation O.
his native land. AS Bishop he wa:
more than ever bound to resent the
wrong done, according to his views
in the invasions of Belgium with all it.
consequences, and he naturally fel
compelled to give public expression t,
such views.
"He was also in the right in pro
testing against the violation of tn,
rights and property of the Church, az
for example, in the proposed seizur
Of church bells, or when he judged
necessary to plead for the safety of hi
countrymen, as in the case Of the dc
portation of Belgian workmen. Onl
because we were mad enough to imae
inc that under German rule Belgian
must cease to think and act as Be
gians, because we refused to recoe
nize that in the long run patriotism
can neither be strangled nor cor
quered by force-because of thes

We will.
Changed Conditions.
"The condition of the world in
which we live and of our country have
been wonderfully changed by this war.
Formerly, whenever we wanted to
finance a great development project
in America we went to Europe for the
funds. At the beginning of the war
Europe owned six billion dollars worth
of our securities Today these have
been paid up and we hold practically
eight bieiion dollars worth of Europe's
promises to pay Think of what tn;
means! 1t means that when we need
money for our Governmental projects
or industrial development we cannot
go to France or England for it. We
must get it in America. In order that
these necessary sums of money may
be available we of America must cre-
ate new wealth, must eliminate waste,
must save-not few individuals but
the great mass of our people must
save and thus amass the dollars that
will make possible our development
and prosperity.

HOME FROM FRANCE
Col. EdelblutG Returns After
Long Absence.

Colonel W. III. Edelblute arrived at
his home in Rathdrum last Saturday
morning and Is again with his family
after an absence Of nearly two years,
the greater part of which was spent
10 France He looks we'll despite the
trials and tribulationS OF his overseas
experience, considering that, like
many other officers from General
Wood down, he was denied the honor
of accompanying the men be bad
trained into action.
1t will be remembered that Colonel
Edelblute entered the federal service
as commander Of the Second Idaho
infantry and went to France in Dec
1917, in command OF the l46th field
artillery. At the time of embarkaton
be was temporarily in command of
the 4lst division, which was broken
up on arrival in England and used for
replacement purposes.
Speaking Of his experience, the
colonel states that his regiment had
no guns or ammunition 10 France,
until it was equipped with 1858, the
best French motorized field artillery
These guns were p feet long and
weighed IA tons each. When it was
first ordered to the front to go inte
action the ammunition supply for
the guns Of this regiment had not
arrived and it was found the shells of
that calibre were for the time being
exhausted. The order to advance was
countermanded, and later when the
regiment was ready for action, the
colonel had been transferred to an
assignment 10 the S . S. (service of
supply to train artillery regiments.
His knowledge of engineering inYolv-
Jog the use of higher mathematics
specially fitted him for that work,
but he was never rewarded with an
opportunity to rejoin his old regiment
either at the front or in the army OF
occupation, and was returned 10 COM
maud of another organization.
The colonel has many Interesting
and entertaining "reminiscences to
relate about the A. L. +. and habits
of the French people.

Boise, Idaho The Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul railroad wants to
pay taxes 10 Idaho on the basis of
valuation fixed on its properties by
the federal government when 1T took
over the line.
Floyd Fl. Williams, tax agent for
the railroad, was before the state
board of equalization last week, and,
indirectly asked for reduction Of
$1,000 a mile on the railroads main
line 10 northern Idaho.
]. B. Evans, tax agent for the
Oregon Short Line, when before the
equalization board, said his companys
taxes would be increased If the state
changed the method of determining
valuations.
The transportation lines operating
Ia the state are, with but few except
ions, seeking their annual reductions
in valuations.
The Pacific & Idaho Northern is
content to accept valuati 1ns fixed by
the equalization board 10 1918. but
the Spokane s. Inland Empire wants
its valuations cut in half and the
Spokane & international is asking
that the valuation on its main line
be reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
