is WELCOMED BY MAYOR
FJoted PreIate, Who Gained AdmlrA
ton Of Whole World, Much Moved
BY Enthusiasm Of His
Reception.

New York Cardinal MERCER, Bel
GUMS gallant churchman, arrived
here, bringing to America the thanks
of the little country in whose tragic
history he has played SO heroic part,
AS the venerable prelate stepped for
the first time on American soil, he
was asked for message to the Amer
lean people.
Il can only say thank you!' he
piled, his voice quivering with emo.
ton. What else is there for me to
say?'
Cardinal Mercer speaks excellent
English with soft, musical accent.
There is little in the outward form
of the man to tell of the devoted
priest who defied the German invader
and sternly babe him to heed the law
Of God if he cared nothing for the
laws Of man.
As soon as the gangway had been
run up Mayor Hylan and the official
welcoming committee, Archbishop
Hayes and a number Of church digni
taries boarded the ship and officially
welcomed the guest of the city and
nation. The cardinal was taken across
tho river and thence by automobile to
Archbishop Hayes residence
On his way across the Hudson the
cardinal turned to Archbishop Hayes
and expressed his establishment that
his arrival in America should be her
aided in such a manner.
oh" commented the archbishop
"all America loves Cardinal Mercier
You will find that out"
Typical Of the heroism of King AL
berts countrymen, this physically
frail but intellectually powerful prel
ate of the church stirred the whole
world to admiration Of his courage
when, on the first war Christmas, in
1914, with the Germans everywhere il
Belgium, he issued his famous pas
toral letter, denouncing the invader
and urging his people TO resist ir
these words;
Germany has violated her oath. We
can neither number our dead nor com
ute the measure of our ruins DC
cupied provinces are not conquered
provinces. The authority of the in
yader is no lawful authority. There
fore, in soul and in conscience yot
owe it neither respect, attachment nor
obedience"

GERMANS WISH TO
Rave AMERICANS
HAVE GRAVE FEARS OF MILITARY
BODY WHICH WOULD RE
WHOLLY EUROPEAN.
STUDY TREATY QUESTION
Opinion Expressed in Berlin as To
What VIII Happen To Peace
Pact Should United States
Fall TO RatifY.


Berlin. Germany may refuse to re.
ceive or recognize any interallied
commission upon which America is
not represented.
The question has been raised by the
announcement that an interallied mil
ltary commission of go members has
been appointed and win soon arrive
hree for the purpose Of seeing that
Germany faithfully carries out the
disarmament and other military
clauses of the peace treaty
So far as is known here, the United
States is not represented on this com.
mission, or has Washington taken any
steps toward providing for represen.
tation on that or any other commits
sion, according to the best available
information here.
The question is asked whether in
the event that the American senate
should eventually ratify the peace
treaty in some form or another, the
United States will even then name
members for the interallied military
commission.
In some quarters the contractual
legality and the status of such a com
mission under the peace treaty would
be questioned il America, one OF the
chief signatories of the document, is
not represented.
An official statement on the subject
Is not obtainable because the author
tiles here consider it premature to
anticipate events, but the attitude Of
those who question the right of the
allies to send into Germany interal-
lied commissions on which America is
not represented is that such commits
sions lack legal authorization to act
without Americas participation, and
that Germany cannot properly protest
against receiving or recognizing such
bodies.
In this question is involved also a
greater one, concerning the validity
of the Versailles document itself in
case the United States should event
ually fail to ratify it or ratify it with
amendments. This subject is now be-
ing studied by Germany's best inter
national jurists.
Little hope is entertained in author
itatiye quarters that any immediate
and direct benefit would accrue to
Germany through possible decision
of the American senate not to ratify
the treaty in its present form, but
Germans would see in such action
confirmation of their contention of
the injustice of the treaty on the one
hand and OF the theory that the Yer
sailles document has not increased
the chances of world tranquility on
the other hand. They would also see
in it support for their argument that
1t is impossible to carry out the pro-
visions of the treaty in all its details.
1t can be said that from the mo.
ment the treaty is ratified and in
force the Germans will begin world
movement for revision of the 50.
called "unfillable" clauses. Though
little is being said at present, every
day increases the determination Of
the Germans to make worldwide
appeal for a revision of the treaty
