Cardinal Mercier, the fighting car

but, to quote his own words. Ito IN

ward your great republic. notably for
the creation of the admirable commis-

outrage in Belgium, was heard around
the world in courageous and compel

recapitulation of his words and deeds
may not be untimely today. For his
words, constituting, in all truth, the
spiritual expression of whole people,
served to revitalize the whole of the
Christian Church, Protestant and
Catholic, in the worlds hour of de-

a courage and devotion compare

Discusses Reservations.

II have come here tonight, my fell
! low countrymen. to discuss that crit
ical matter that you constantly see in
the newspapers that we call reServa-
tions. 1 want you to have a very
clear idea of what is meant by reser-
vations. Reservations are to all in
tents and purposes equivalent to
with confidence, that it is the judg
ment of the people of the United
states that neither the treaty nor
the covenant should be amended.
Very we'll, then, look at the char
acter OF reservations. What does
reservation mean? 1t means a stipu-
lation that this particular government
insists upon interpreting it's attitude
to that covenant in a special way. 1t
insists upon interpreting it in way
In which other nations, it says, do
not interpret it.
This thing, when we ratify it. is a
contract. You cannot alter so much as
the words of contract without the
consent of the other parties. Any
reservation that we have will have to
be carried to all the other signatories,
Germany included. We shall have to
get the consent of Germany among the
rest to read this covenant in some
special way in which we prefer to
read it in the interests, or in the in
terests of safety. of America. That, to
my mind, is one of the most unaccept-
able things that could happen. To re-
open the question of the meaning of
this clearly written treaty is to re-
open negotiations with Germany, and
1 don't believe that any part of the
world is in the temper to do that. And
in order to bring this matter, to put

lend itself to concrete elucidation,
