Ramsgate. England. i (Copyright by Public ledger. Published by Arrangement. Explanatory Comment By Professor Frriwid Yiuyence. THE legal arguments advanced by Cardinal Mercier in the ap pended letter to Von Bissing were closely in accord with the pre vailing sentiments of the leading members of the Belgian bar. Prominent among these patriotic poKesmen was the Batonnier I heat of delivery and which cannot be taken literally when it is a question of estimating the general spirit of a social class, the preaching of the clergy lias not overstepped, in safe guarding patriotism, the limits which 1 have just defined. A score of times I have personally examined the ser mons that have been denounced by the civil authority or by the military courts. I have always found that the accused preacher had simply affirmed, without affront to the occupying power, that the Belgian fatherland is whole and united, that the sole legiti mate authority for the Belgian con science is King Albert, his govern ment, his magistracy and his army. 'Were you willing, excellency, to grasp this elementary truth of juris prudence, the conflicts between us would come to an end. "Your predecessor, the late Baron von der tioltz, had understood it.

"Has not the method adopted by the Belgian episcopate and followed by the clergy established its reputa tion?

"The clergy, moreover, can lay no claim to a privilege that would with draw them from justice, nor to a con tinuous application of a right to par don.

Your excellency begs my co-operation for the attainment of this result; and you appeal to the understanding come to by the Bel gian bishops, in the name of the clergy, with the occuping power. "Such is, I believe, a faithful sum mary of the dlspjitch of June 4 to which my ministerial engagements have to my regret hindered me from replying sooner. "Your excellency has good reason to deplore the severe treatment which our priests have to suffer. I also ren der homage to the loftiness of this sentiment and I sljare it with you very heartily. "With you I am concerned for the public order, but I do not agree with, you as to the means of safeguarding It. The bishops and the clergy have a duty to be the foremost upholders of order. They know it. but they know also that Belgium, their coun try. Is still, thank God. independent and that it would be Iniquitous and rash to treat it like a conquered country. "Germany, which today occupies a ery great portion of our provinces, but which the fortune of war may tomorrow drive back across our bor ders, is a belligerent nation.

What have I to do to render to God the things that are of God and to Caesar the things that are Caesar's?

"When I commenced taking Number 40 For the Blood I was suffering with chronic constipation of a good many years' standing, which finally devel oped into stomach trouble, which got so bad I was unable to eat anything that did not cause great suffering. I tried a good many doctors, as well as everything 1 could hear of that was recommended for my complaint. I was also troubled with catarrh of long standing and I had dropsical swell ings in my feet and ankles, which the doctors said was caused by a weak heart.
