PUBLIC WELCOME
TO CARDINAL MERCER
Belgian Prelate Had Busy Day. Ending
With Conferring of Honorary
Degree at Harvard

BOSTON, Oct G-Cardinal MERCER,
heroic primate of Belgium today was
given a public welcome to the city. The
course of an automobile procession from
Boston college, where he addressed the
student body in the forenoon, to Fan
euil hall where the official reception
was held, was lined with thousands of
persons regardless of a drizzle. The
rain made the use of closed ears neees-
sary. but the Cardinal bowed his res
ponse to the cheering crowd.
1t was an active day for the elderly
clergyman in contrast with the compar-
ative secluson and quiet of the first
few days Of his visit. From Faneuil
hall his program took him to st. Johns
Theological seminary for luncheon and
reception and later in the day he was
to go to Harvard university. The ex.
ercises there included those arranged
for the conferring of an honorary de
gree.

in charge of the civilian relief work of
the New England division headquarters,

team to come here in anticipation of
the Red Cross membership drive which
will start Nov. and continue to Nov. IL.
1t is the plan of the national organization
to have the campaign close on armistice
day. Another idea in having the mem
bership drive earlier than last year was
to avoid the Christmas rush.
Miss Newell formerly was in charge
of women's work of the New England
division. She was sent to Europe about
three months ago to secure information
necessary for basis on which the ma
tional Red Cross night work. She has

tries.

ices after the war. Another is the APP
preaching labor conference for the ses-
sions of which complete arrangements
have been made.
Admiral Grayson reported that the
President 5 condition is encouraging

be brought to his attention, in order
that his rest be made as complete a.
possible. He said that there is LITTLE
requiring the Presidents immediat,
| consideration.
