of Belgium has Is sued an official denial of the report that- Cardinal Mender. the Belgian member of the Sacred college. has teen arrested by the German authorities. The' cardinal has neither' teen detained in the bishops palace at Mal- Inca nor placed under police surveillance of any sort the official statement says. The denial Is silent on the case of Doesaln the printer.

who published the cardinals Christmas pastoral letter but it 1 understood the story concerning him also is a fabrication. Cardinal Mercier was reported unof ficlally to have been arrested on ac count of a. pastoral Utter in which he was said to have advised Belgian clvl- liana not to. recognize the authority of the. German administration of Belgium.

While these ports were doubted at the Vatican. an Inquiry was in stituted by Pope Benedict with the Idea of protesting to the German government according to Rome dispatches should the reported. arrest be verified. Extract From Cardinal' Letter. London.

January 7. Paragraphs of the pastoral letter of Cardinal Mercier have een published In pamphlet form in London. They are as follows I consider it an obligation of my pastoral charge to define our duties of conscience toward the power' which invaded our' soil and which at this moment occupies a greater part of it. That power has no authority in law. In the sanctuary of your soul you owe It neither esteem nor attachment nor obedience.

The sole legal power in Belgium i that which Is ie- rlv rom our king our government. sue sue representatives' or the nation. This alone for us represents authority this alone has a right to the affections of our hearts and to our submission. Of themselves the acts of those in occupation are without forced but the legal authority ratifies tacitly those acts which are Justified in the general interest and from this- ratification alone they derive all their Judicial worth. The occupied provinces of Belgium are not conquered provinces.

Belgium is no more a German province than is a Russian province. Nevertheless the occupied part of our coun- trvi I8 confronted by a situation to which It must submit. The greater number of our towns have been handed over to the' enemy they must re. spect the conditions or thejr surrender. From the beginning of military operations the civil authorities have insistently recommended that private persons abstain from acts of hostility against the armed enemy These- recommendations are still in force.

Our army alone. Is charged with the duty of our national defense. Let know how to await at Its hands the final deliverance let us comfort ourselves as the general interest. demands. Let us respect the regulations they the Germans impose on us eo long as they do not attack- our liberty of Christian conscience or the dignity of our pa triotism.
