HONORS ARE GIVEN TO CARDINAL MERGER
 BY BIG UNIVERSITY
Cardinal Says That He May De eide to Spend His Later Years in the United
 States

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Columbia University conferred the degree of doctor of laws honorable causa, '' the highest distinction in it's power to bestow, upon Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium, and spiritual hero of the greatest of wars" Ten thousand faculty members, students and their families and friends wit messed the ceremony
 The cardinal, standing tall and grave before them, listened to an eloquent eulogy of himself, pro- nounced by President Nicholas Mur- ray Butler.
 Earlier in the afternoon, at a luncheon of the membership council of the Merchants Association, where 1,600 leading citizens of New York gathered to honor the cardinal, Charles Evans Hughes welcomed him as champion of humanity, expon- ent of invincible courage and un- dying faith"
 The Cardinal, in responding, spoke of the first news of Germany's vio- lation of Belgium's sovereignty and of his fight for justice while the enemy occupied Brussels. Then for the first time, he told of how the Marquis Francisco de la Barra, Spanish Minister to Belgium at the outbreak of the war suggested to the nettled German authorities that they "send Cardinal Mercier to the Pope
 A German Baron called on the Marquis. the Cardinal said, and asked: What will we do with Cardinal Mercier?''
 ..Well," replied the Marquis, eff the German Grown Prince commit ted an offense against the German government in Belgium, what would you do? Would you seize him and put him in prison?"
 No" said the German Baron. We would send him to his father, the Kaiser in Berlin
 Well" responded the Marquis, 'the Cardinal is a member of the Court at Rome. He is just as if he were cousin of the Pope. There fore, if the Cardinal has done some- thing wrong send him to the Pope. ' Cardinal Mercier was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the InterRacial Council, which was at tended by more than 400 men and women prominent in banking and commercial circles.
 Applause greeted the Cardinal when he said that perhaps, in later years, he would choose to spend his last days in the United States.

Japan in driving Ger many out of China assumed the role of a policeman, but became the keeper of stolen goods when she insisted on succeeding to the Ger man rights Moreover, in pursuit of the thief, she, as policeman, prevented the owner, China from joining. What will the return of KiaO-Chau men to China if Japan retains, as she now insists upon doing, the economic rights, consist ing of mines, railways, etc., in the Shantung province?"
