had to be made over the date of delivery being fixed
later on for each district. Any one conravening the
order was liable to penalties not exceeding five years

As soon as these orders came into force, the Card
nal wrote Baron Won Bissing as follows:
Archhishop's House. Malines

To His Excellency Baron Won Bssing, Governor Cen
cral, Brussels.
Sr-The official gazette of laws and orders of
July 8. 1916 that the military authorities
are thinking of communicating all existing copper,
tin and nickel in occupied territory. We could not
bring ourselves to believe that the occupying power
would ever resort to such measures; but now all
order Of December so confirms that Of July and we
learn that these regulations now being enforced.
From the moral and religious point of view
2dopted by by of my duty as bishop, I
respectfully make your Eminence dual request:
First. That you will not regard guilty those
who in their conscience believe that they cannot
lively lend hand in carrying off the Communicated
metals. .5.. -.
Second. That you would kindly take into account
that, according to canon law the goods of religious
communities semjnaries, episcoral colleges, as well
as those Of the fabrques ecclesiastical property
and therefore cannot be alienated without the
ereign pontif's sanction
TO be fair, must inform your Excelency that
can neither cooperate myself allow those under
me to cooperate in the alienation of these goods.
Receive, sir, the assurance of my sincere esteem.
