stepped from his automobile at the
station, Aristotle, French butler Of
Mrs. Ben T. Gable, presented the
primate with a large cluster Of
flowers, such a huge bouquet that
IL completely filled the table in his
private car. After receiving the
flowers with a profound show OF
gratitude, Cardinal Mercier made
request TO meet Mrs. Cable. She
was presented and they conversed
for a short time in French.
Cardinal Mercier showed his
great democratic spirit which has
won for him such a warm place in
the hearts of the people of Belgium.
bers of the official reception COM
mittee, Cardinal Mercier went into
the throng at the station and shook
hands on all sides. 1t was touch
ing to see his fondness for babes
in arms. He would pat them on
the cheek and perhaps receive in
return a chubby little fist cares
singly on his face.
And when the train was ready to
leave for Peoria, he boarded his
private car with his retinue but he
did not disappear within. That
winsome smile which ever plays
about the corners of his mouth was
still in evidence as he stood on the
back platform and with his ker-
chief, he waved a farewell-Waved
it, until the coach disappeared in
the west.

CROWD GATHERS
QUICKLY TO SEE
PRIMATE LEAVE
Passes Through Business District
of Rock Island Before Going
to Station.

A large crowd quickly gathered
at the Twentieth street station in
Rock Island yesterday afternoon
when it was learned that Cardinal
Mercier would board his train
there.
1t was not definitely known un-
til almost train time that he would
leave at Twentieth street. The eS-
cort of automobiles came from Dav-
export going west on Third avenue
to Sixteenth street, where the Car
dinal caught a glimpse Of st.
Joseph's church. The parade then
went east on Second avenue through
the business district to Nineteenth
street, turning south on Nineteenth
to Fourth avenue, and east on
Fourth, turning north on Twen-
tieth to the station, the cardinal
being shown in his trip through the
loop, the Woodman building, court
house, St Joseph's church and
school and postoffice.
At the station a large crowd had
gathered to bid a farewell to the
primate.
After Cardinal Mercier had

E NJ. Dunno of the Peoria diocese
and other visiting dignitaries and
priests of the church.
Then followed the speaking pro-
gram, preceded by a selection by
the bands. Mayor C. P. Skinner
presided as chairman. lie briefly
expressed his appreciation for the
honor OF extending the welcome.
Among the spec kers were Mayor
Lee Dougherty of Davenport, May
or Johnson of East Moline, John
K. Scott of Rock Island, DR.. W. E.
Taylor OF Moline and Mrs. G. H.
Huntoon of Moline.
Cardinal Mercier concluded with
an address in which he said he had
come for the purpose OF thanking
the American people for all they
had done for his nation.
Impressed by Arsenal
The cardinal was highly i'm
pressed by his visit to Rock Island
arsenal as the guest of Colonel
Harry B. Jordan. The trip was by
ately upon conclusion of the speak
ing program at the church site.
The power of the great country
that had thrown its resources on
the side Of right and might for
Belgium was epitomized in the
huge buildings in which we're man
ufactured much of the munitions
that helped to crush the foe.

port while business stopped to per-

thrilled the world. and then across
the bridge to Rock Island. He was
taken through the business district
and thence to the Rock Island
lines station at Twentieth street
to board his private car for Peoria
At the station another large
crowd had gathered to view the
cardinals departure. His demo
cratic manner was at no time so
clearly indicated. Stepping light
ly from the automobile, he swung
into the midst of the throng and
extended his hand for the hun
dreds of eager clasps.
Slowly his train moved out from
the station. On the platform of
his car, the tall figure of the car
dinal stood and waved that good
bye that all who saw will never
forget. Not until the train swung
out of sight did he lower his arm
and enter the car to rest for the
next welcome at Peoria.
