IN THE LONDON PAPERS.
War is Reflected Even in the Ads in
thc Great Dailies.
The advertising columns of the Loll-
don daily papers tell their own stories' of the war. Ii' the censor wont so far as to block out every other lille of ln- formntion, so long as he left the ails. intact the reader would still not lack instruction as to what war means to England. He would still find a great deal of pathos and grim humor.
The most notable change has been
in the character of the advertising. it is distinctly war advertising. Ol that sort it is more extensive than has ever been known ill the history ol' British journalism. The greatest space galil is probably in ille small iid. linc. Two or more pages, usually the first and lust. of the lcafilnl.: lnorn- ing pnpors are as from time ilnnicln- orinl crowded with thc print an- nouncements yfith only ii bold initial letter to relieve the monotony.
The conspicuous new feature is the
“Killed in Action" or the “ltoll of Honor" section.
There is not a column and hardly
an advertisement among the hundreds on the page but that directly or in- directly suggests somc phase of the
war. Thc "l’erso13£il" columns. as ever, arc cuigmas. xccpt to those wllo have shared the sccret of communi- cation by this menus, but they often flnflvor of patriotism. When one reads “Dearest-Ani praying for you; al- ways loyal; love," he may easily lill- agine it to bo some swcetlicart's pos- sibly valll attempt to get xi word to her soldier lover, she knows not just where.
But one needs to cxercisc no ilnag~
inailon to si-c the 1-.fleets of the wilr in othcr iii:-rinllco:-1. Taking n personal column haphazard one finds ncur thc top such an appeal as this: ' “I want to buy ii Gcrniali helmet. What offers?"
There are many suggestions of how
one may help the troops in training, such as thlsz-
"Wlll anyone lend a pack of har-
riers or bengles to a regimental mess to be hunted by the oillcers until or- dcrcd abroad?"
There arc those wlln want to locatc
wounded relatives, such as this:
"if anybody has news of Maj. A. I".
liurg, thc I{ing's Own Scottish Bor- derors. wounded at I,c Cntcau. Ang. 26. will they please communicate witli"-
There is such a one ns this to re-
flect the busy days at the War Ofilcez
"0llicer nt War Ofllce, long hours,
desires to let. or exchange his house, one hour froln London."

The London Tablet has sent us
through the Catholic Record, of Lon- don. Ont.. the text of the famous pas- toral letter of Cardinal Mercier, of Belgium. for the publication of which he was m,ade a practical prisoner by the German possessors of Brussels.
The pastoral itself is altogether- too
lengthy to be published. but here are 11 few salient extracts from lt, as re- produced from the Catholic Record:
It wus ill ltoine itself that I re-
ceived ~tho tidings - stroke after stroke-of the partial destruction of the Cathedral church o(Louvaln, next of the burning of the library and of the scientific installations of our great University and of the devastation of the city, mid next of the wholesale shooting of citizens, and tortures n- iiicted upon women and children, and upon unarmed and undefended men. And while I was still under the shock of these calamities the telegraph brought us news of the bombardment of our beautiful metropolitan cllurch, of the church of Notre Dame and la la Dyie, of the eplscopal palace and of a great part of our dear city of Malines.
0 O U
\Vhen, immediately oil my return
from Rome, I wen; to Havre, to greet our Belgian, French, and English wounded; when, later, nt Malines, at Louvain, at Antwerp, it was given to me to take the hands ot' those brave men who carried a bullet in their flesh, a wound oil their forehead, be- cause they had marched to the attack of the enemy, or borne the shock of his onslaught. it was a word ol' grati- tude to thcnl that rose to my lips. “O valiant friends," I said. “it was for us, it was for each one ol’ us, it was for nic, that you risked your lives and are now in pain. I ain moved to tell you of my respect, of my thankfulness, to assure you that the whole nation knows how much she is in debt to you.'
For in truth our soldiers are our
saviors.
il 0 ll
Al first at Liege, they saved
France; a second time, in Flanders they arerstcil the advance of the enemy upcn Calais. Fraiico and England know it; and lli_-l'giunl stands before them both, and before the entire world. ns it nation of heroes. Never before in my wholc life did I feel so, proud to bo a Bel- gian as when, on thc platforms of French stations, and halting a while lil Paris. and visiting London, I was witness of thc entliusiastic admira- tion our Allies feel for thc heroism of our Army. Our King is, in the esteem of all, at the very summit of the lnornl scale; hc is doubtless the only mall who docs not. recognize that fact, as, simple as thc siinpclst of his soldiers, he stands in thc trenches and puts new courage, by the serenity ot’ his face. into the hearts of those of whom he requires that they _ shall not doubt of their country Tile foremost duty of every 'Belgian citizen at this hour is gratitude to the Army. '
iii fs Ki e
It any inau had rcscucd you from
sbipwrekc or from a fire, you would assuredly hohl yourselves bound to hint by a debt of everlasting thank- fulncss. But it is uct onc man. it is two hundred and fifty thousand men \vl1o fought, who suffered, who fell l`or you so that you might be free, so that Belgium might keep her inde- pcndcnce, her dynasty, hor patriotic unity: 'so tlmi. after the viclssitudes of buttlc slic might rise nobli-r, purer, more crcct. and more glorious than before.
Pray daily my brethren, for these
two hundred and fifty thousand, and for their leaders to victory; pray for our brethren in arms; pruy for the fallen; pray for those who are still engaged; pray for the recruits who are making ready for the fight to ccnie.
What Belgium Has Suffered
Better than any other mail, perhaps,
do I know what our unhappy country luis undergone. Nor will any Belgian, I trust, doubt of what 1 suffer in lily soul, as ii citizen and as il Bishop, in sympathy with all this sorrow. These f`our last months have seclncd to mc ngclong. Uy thousnluls have our brnvc ones been inown down; wives, motil- vrs, arc we-cping for those t.licy shall never acc again; llenrtlis arc deso- liito; dirc poverty sprciitls. anguish increases. At\Malint~.s. at Ant\verp,thc pee-plc of two great cities have been given over. tho one for six hours. the other one for thirty-four hours. of n continuous bombardlnent, to thc throes of death. I have traversed the greater part of the districts most terribly de- vastated in my diocese. and the ruins I bchcld, and the ashes were more tircndiul than I. prcpnrcd by the sud- dcst ol' forcbodillgs_ could have Inl- agincd. Other parts ot' my diocese. which I have not yet had time to visit have ill like lnnnncr bccn laid waste. tlliurcllcs, schools. asylunis. hospitals, conventa in great numbers are in rllins. Entire villages have all but din- appoarctl. At Wereliter-Wnckerzeal,f'or instance, out of 380 homes. 1210 remain; nt Trenieloo, two-thirds of the village are overthrown; at l3ucken.out of 100

England Kept Faith
On the 13th of April, 1839, :1 treaty
was signed ill Londan, by King Leo pold, in the name of Belgium, on th one part, and by the Emperor of Aus tria. thc King of France, thc Queer of l<Jnglnnd,, the King of Prussia, an( the Emperor of Itussia, on the other and its seventh article decreed that Belgium should form a separate aiu perpetually neutral State, and sho\llc‘ bc held to the observance of this neutrality in regard to all otllei States. The co-signatories promised for themselves and their successors, upon tllcr oath, to fulfil and to ob servo that treaty in every point und every article without contraventlon,or tolcnance ot' contravention. Belgium was thus bound lil honor to defend her own liitlepemiellce. She kept her word. Tile other Powers were bound to respect and to protect her neutrality. Germany violated her oath: England kept hers. These are the facts,

Well, I atllrin upon my honor: and

FINANCIAL MEN
-EAR LY CL
LONDON, l~‘t-b. 2.- In lendinl»§ fin-
ancial circlcs here the prediction is being made that thc war will end mucli sooner than is commonly bc- ..leved, owing to Gerlnany's inability -.0-support the financial strain. Next May is mentioned as the probable date ot' the German collapse.
These predictions are based upon
ieduction. Tile Chancellor of the Bxcllequcer, the Right Holi. Lloyd ieorge, as was recently announced n the London papers. will soon go .o France and Russian Ministers of
`i~‘inancc. lt is generally understood
:hat a result of the conference will be :hat Great Britain will undertake tho financing of the Allies to an even greater degree than she has already done, though, Ili respect to Ilussia particularly, sho has already pilt her hand ill her pockct to no iiicolisldcr- able oxtcnt.
CANNOT FIND SINEWS.
The arguinent of those financt='s
who predict an early conclusion of the war is that, when thc three great allied powers find it necessary to combine in order to meet from their conlinon resources the immense out- lay required to carry on the war, Germany and Austria together can- not much longer continue to find the slnews of war.
Germany, it is added, cannot hope
to obtain outside financial assistance. Tile United States is the only coun- try which could help her and, as thc raising of an Aniericnii war loan for a belligerent is prohibited b_v thc American Government as a brcuch of neutrality, Gcriilun endeavors to obtain capital there would necessarily bo restricted to secret and individual action.
Tile necessity which Great Britain
found herself under ol' forbidding the employment ot' capital in foreign cn- terprise, save in exceptional cases, is pointed to as a further indication ot the financial strain of the war. which it is said here must be making itself felt much more severely in Germany than in England. V ` ,

Somebody near you is feeble and old,
Left without human stay,
Under ills burden put hands kind and

Speak to him tenderly, sing him a

Over his weary way.
Dear one, be busy, for time flieth fast,
Soon it will be all gone;
Soon will our season of service be

Soon will our day be done.
Somebody near you needs now a kind
word
Some one needs help such as you
can afford
Haste to assist ili the name of the
Lord;
Thcrc may be a soul to be won.
