CARDINAL MERCER PaAisEs Tite

Washington, D. C.--"Consumption-
worse and more serious than Boil
shevism, because 1: is undermining
the state by weakening our PEG
ple-is among as like plague" de
clared Cardinal Mercier. Primate Of
Belgium, and spiritual hero of the war
in a statement made at National Red
CroAs headquarters here. The Card
inal had called at the Red Cross head
quarters TO thank that organization
In person for what the Red Coss had
done for stricken Belgium.
Two American agencies were egpe
cially singled out for enthusiastic
praise by His Emminenee for what
they had, done in Belgium--Hr. Hoov
er's Committee for the Relief OF Bel
GUM, and the American Red Cross
His Eminence also spoke cordially OF
the work row being done in Brussels
by the unit under the direction of the
National CathoXc War Council.
"Your American Red Cross is mag'
rificent," said Cardinal MERCER, "and
the extent Of Its work and It's mem.
bership is simply marvellous. am told
that your Red Cross has over twenty
million members! OF course without
support from the whole American peo-
pie Il would have been obviously i'm
possible to accomplish the wonderful
things your Red Cross did during the
war. Such 6 national inspiration should
be captured and held for the benefit OF
society. 1t is extraordinary what can
Be accomplished whore free people
eli unite and work together for their
common good and for the good Of hu.
manity.
THE mothers and listie children OF
Belgium are utterly worn out from the
long strain" continued Cardinal Mer-
cieF. discussing the four years OF Oc-
cupation Of Belgium by the Germans.
They must rest and play as rnuch as
possible. for . while. IL the next gem
Grafton is to be equal to the tasks that
await 1t.

cially the babies. For four years saw
them with my own eyes grow wan.
