What did His Eminence think of
American women?
"They are pretty and sensible,

young American women abroad,

Skyscrapers
The police and the American
woman having been meticulously at
tended to, the Cardinal dwelt upon
the imposing architecture of New
York and the magic of its tremen-
dous skyscrapers, which, he was
sorry to say, he had not visited.
Nor had he ridden in the subway
and felt consequently that sometime
he must return to New York in a
less official capacity that he might
enjoy the advantages of the average
tourist.
81 can't imagine any one working
on the fortieth floor of a building,'
he said. "There must be so much to
look at"
Members of the Cardinals retinue
repeatedly assured him that he
would have to hurry to make the
train for Scranton. He explained
that it had been touch and go Wi
him like that for weeks.

With that the Cardinal was almost
dragged away by his coat-tails, OF
where his coat-tails might have
been. His lean, erect form, covered
by soutane which threw off ;
scarlet sheen, began to ascend tho
stairway. Lesser forms moved If
his wake.
A moment later Michael came
bustling down the stairway.

"Yoizir," said a Celtic maid, com

"His Eminence wants a cup O.

Hannah nodded.

F IT is true that fiction ga1loped


helter-skelter on the Presidents
condition, it is equally true
that the Presidents physicians
neglected to stamp out rumor or
allay fear by the simple expedient
Of providing q diagnosis. This is a
point much dwelt on by the domestic
press. Thus, while street maunder-
ings and Senator Moses's letter were
taken cum grd,,o sails a large part
Of the public seems to have persisted
in the belief that where there was
smoke there was fire, a system of
reasoning which, in view Of the
brevity Of the official bulletins ard
the absence of a diagnosis, editorial
opinion pronounces not unnatural.
1.-THE New York World" quasi-offi-
cially has thrown new light on ehe
Presidential condition. In an excerpt
from letter said to be written by
Admiral Grayson to friend in New
York, the following assurance is
given:
81 do not know Of any disease that
has not been included in the rumors
about the President. II I tried to
refute all these rumors that have scat
tered about I would not have any time

81 can sincerely say that his mind
is as good as it ever was since I have
known him.
81 hope the time will not be far dis
tant when it will be considered safe to
permit him to resume work, when his
actions and his words will speak for
themselves.
"As he gains in strength his case Is
more difficult for me to handle, as he

suit. believe you can appreciate the
trying situation with which am labor
ing"
In reading between the lines of
this letter and of bulletins the press
generally does not doubt that the
Presidents condition borders on the
serious, though there is some doubt

Deen "played" at the national capt.
tai that has been discreditable to any
party. The outstanding criticism has
not been so much that any one has
tried to take advantage Of an I'M
usual situation as that Mr.. Wilson's
attending physicians by their mystic
rious secrecy have created fears that
have been, perhaps, unwarranted.
Thus "The Philadelphia Public
Ledger" says editorially:
"President Wilson Is not an ordi-
nary patient and the interest Of the
nation is something more than a mere
solicitous curiosity as to his ailment.
Conditions which would ordinarily
justify reticence on the part of DR..
Grayson and his consultants do not
apply in the present case. Their very
reticence as to the precise nature Of
the Presidents illness, their refusal to
deny n affirm alarming stories pur-
porting to tell what the official bull
letins from the sickroom conspicuous
ly omit, only serve to deepen public
anxiety and stimulate speculation. The
dissemination OF those nearest to the
President to have intimate details Of
his affection made matter of pub
lie discussion is perfectly natural, but
the popular reaction from the truth
would be far less Objectionable than
the present uncertainty and doubt"
Senator Moses's letter to friend
in Maine that declared the President
suffered from cerebral lesion" has
; met vehement denial unofficially-
that is all. AS "The Philadelphia
Inquirer" declares:
"There are always sensationalists
and it is impossible to follow them up
The sensationalists have been at work
since the confinement of the Pre- sident
Much Of what they have said is sensa-
tional, without a doubt. But when q
Senator Of the United States under
takes to give quite a startling dag
nosis, and when that diagnosis is wide

to demolish it if there is no truth in It.

the exception of one day the Pres

sician-in- attendance to President
Wilson. 1t has long been the Gus
tom to provide the nations Ex-
ecutive with medical attention

or navy customarily being ap-
pointed. DR.. Grayson was born in
the same state, Virginia, as Pres
ident Wilson, in the town of Gull
pepper He was educated at Will
lam and Mary College, the Univer-
sity Of the South and the Navy Med
ical School. He entered the navy
in 1903. From 1904 to 1907 he
made a cruise around the world and
saw service in the Philippines and
China. Upon his return to this
country he was assigned to the Pres
ident's yacht, the Mayhcwer, where
a part of his duties was attendance
upon the family of the President
In January, 1918, he was assigned
to the White House, so that when
Mr.. Wilson came into the Presi-
dency he already was prescribing
for the Presidential family.
Since that time he has virtually
been always at the Presidents side

"What Is needed Is bulletin by the
Presidents physicians that will once
and for all set at rest the yarns spun
by Senator Moses or let it be known
that there is moro in the case than the
official bulletins nave announced"
In answer to this demand Ad-
miral Grayson said that the attend
ing physicians had decided to stand
upon the official bulletins.
Sympathy
Meantime sympathetic messages
have poured into Washington from
all ends of the earth. Of this "The
St. Louis Republic" says:

with few friends and many enemies,
but when a temporary illness deprives
the country of his services all the
world scans the papers to see whether
he is better or worse, because all the
world realizes that his prolonged alb
sence from public affairs may seriously
delay if not defeat the plans for bring
ing back the blessings of settled peace.
"At home he is missed sadly in the
labor conference, and his steadying in
fuence in industrial affairs generally
would be Of great Importance if it we're
available"
With the President out of it all
the movements Of the affairs of
state have seemed to lack author
ity and to be provisional. The in
dustrial conference and the league
of nations have been forced to
await the Presidents recovery to
take on their normal aspect.
The late week bulletins were as
surfing and promised an early re-
covery. Indeed, Admiral Grayson

said Michael, with en-
~ - thusiasm. "Speaks

eleven languages, but
he's as democratic as you please.
Always when he comes in here he
has word for everybody"
Michael walked to the window
and looked down Madison Avenue.
"Look at that function, or what do
you call it, in Philadelphia. A rabbi
got up and addressed him in Yid-
dish. When the rabbi got through
he answered him in Yiddish."
Michael made an impressive gcst-
ure.
"Why, the rabbi was so dunn
founded he didn't know what His
Eminence was talking about"
Michael was volunteering q lit
tie inside information on Cardinal
MERCER. Holding the post at the
door of St. Patrick's rectory, at 452
Madison Avenue, he was by way Of
being an authority on his subject.
There was finality in his tone.
"He never speaks loud" contin-
ued Michael, after a resurvey Of the
Madison Avenue situation. ellis
tone is more like a man asking you
to pass the butter. He Here
he comes"
Michael hustled into the hall and
took up his official position. The
information that was at his
tongues end eluded posterity.
Two motorcycle cops spinning
and carcening down Madison Ave
nue. in front Of two swiftly moving,
dark-toned automobiles marked the
advent of the Cardinal. The mo-
tors slid up to the curb and stopped.
The door to one limousine was flung
open and out stepped Cardinal De-
sire Felicien FRANCOIS Joseph Mer-
cier.

One of the most difficult tasks of
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson has
been to prevent President Wilson
from concerning himself with af
fairs of state. Even when his all
ment was at it's crisis the President
had a disconcerting way of desiring
to consult with some one on business
matters, and the ingenuity of his
retinue was taxed with appearing to
carry out his wishes, while secretly
thwarting them. However annoying
the method to the Executive, it was
successful. Not until the crisis was
said to have been fortunately passed
was the President permitted to con-
Germ himself with his routine.

ton has been talked, according to

ghe 'sFinest'' as Usual

This was a poser. There are so
many things in New York. The
Cardinals brow wrinkled in thought,
then his dancing eyes indicated that
he had arrived at an answer.
Cardinal MERCER spoke, by the way,
in perfect, unlabored English.
"The finest thing in New York
is your police force" he said. "No
place in the world have 1 seen their
equal. They rule the multitude not
by the power Of their muscles or
the might Of their clubs, but out Of
respect.
During the Fifth Avenue parades

object to be constantly admired.

respect and traffic science thst en-

If one may look at q cardinal on

had than from the front room Of a
rectory that is contiguous to- both
the sidewalk and the cardinal. No
one pushes in front of one and no
one steps on ones toes. There is

the doer, and his face, were It not
for his acts during Germany's inva-
sion, proves that.
The face had not the complexion
of one shielded by the cloister. The
cheeks and nose held the high color
that is the paint Of the sun and the
wind. He was in facial appearance
as much the out-of- doors man as a
Scotch golf professional.
But those who have met the car
dinal know that it is his eyes that
hold dominion over a kind face.
Cardinal MERCER has remarkable
eyes. His mood seems to be written
in them in flashing hieroglyphics
that tell more than his tongue. They
are penetrating, yet benign, and the
steel in them hints at that terrible
grimness with which the Cardinal
faced the devastating Teuton horde.
Now his eyes were sparkling with
good nature. What had he to say
of New York?
New York was wonderful, but not
so wonderful as it's people. The bond
established between Belgium and
America never could be broken
the lives saved by the magnanimity
Of the Americans would be inter
woven in the fabric of Belgian
history and tradition.
