Tribute to American Army.

Il have followed the magnificent
record of your Army in France and
Belgium. and the men of your Army
magnifed the love I have for you and
supported THE magnificent record of
| the Americans who preceded them.
Your Mr. Hoover ana the members of
the commission for relief in Belgium
| have our undying gratitude. With
dered many of our people would have
! died from starvation. You not only
fed US when we were hungry. but you
prevented the German from taking
what food we had ourselves 1t was
a magnificent service that we Of Bel
GUM will never forget"
Again referring to his visit here, the
prelate said: II feel that my arrival
| here is a'rnomentous moment in my
! life. and I only wish I could in at
least a part express the gratitude of
Belgium for America and it's people.
II want to say, however, that my
people want to begin to work for
themselves again. They want to take
up their industrial life as soon as
possible. Many are idle against their
wills for the reason that our facilities
| for production wero destroyed by the
manner. We want machinery, we want
raw materials and we know that
America will help. US to get back to
work again. I feel that we are going
| to work hand in hand-even more than
| ever through your powerful American
help"

Without moments hesitation he re-
piled with voice deep with emotion:

diplomacy is that of the open heart
and fearless mind and it is the great
in your own home"
The cardinal was asked regarding

lance by the Germans and he told of

T. NEW YORK. September 1O.-Cardi-
nal MERCER, primate of Belgium, ar
rived here yesterday aboard the Army
transport North of Pacific to thank
the people of America for the aid
they gave to Belgium during the war.
Today he was the guest of honor of
Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes. among
several thousand persons invited to
witness the parade of the LIST Divi-
sion. headed by Gen. Pershing. from
a special reviewing stand. erected in
front of, st. Patriek.s Cathedral. Dur
ing the parade it was arranged for
the cardinal. accompanied by other
high church dignitaries. to leave the
reviewing stand to go to Baltimore,
where he will be the guest of Cardi-
nal Gibbons.

pie. l have come to see the people of

Guest of Archbishop Hayes.
The cardinal was the guest last
night at the residence of Archbishop
Hayes. He plans to return to New
York September II. when he will be
received officially by Mayor John F.

a state reception. arranged by Gov.
Smith. From Albany he will return to
Baltimore and then address meet
ing of Catholic bishops in Washing
ton. The cardinal is due to begin his
tour of the country September 25.
Cardinal Mercier speaks excellent
English with a soft, musical accent.
There is little in the outward form
of the man who has played so striking
a part on the worlds stage to tell
of the devoted priest who defed the
German invader in the most insolent
moment of his brutal triumph and
sternly babe him heed the law of
God if he cared nothing for the laws
of men. Thin, almost to the point
of emaciation. his tall form bent un-
der the tremendous burden he bore
of his heavily lined face seem to re-
veal nothing but gentleness and kind
illness. But the deep-set brown eyes
look out from under the strongly
marked eyebrows with a clear, calm
and penetrating gaze which tell much
of the uncomfortable spirit of the
man.
