No statement was forthcoming from the Comptroller, and, when his office closed for the day It was said he had not yet been cited to appear befOre the court to explain his statements. \tfayor Hylan, however, took occasion to jput on piper hi opinion of any JuSge who might see fit to Interpose any Iciral obstacle to the oneratlon of the \Mayor's pt bus lines. This opinion was expressed In a letter from the Mayor to j A. D. R.

Cardinal Mcrcier spoke to thirty-thre- e different ingredients which go Into the American melting pot when he addressed the Interracial Council at a dinner In his honor at the Hotel Plaza last night. All the diversity 'of toncues which might have been employed In paying tribute to him were laid aside for the English of Charles E. Hughes, who was the only speaker on behalf of the council. As a symbol of this eroM Rct!nn nf the American nation\ the primate re- - cciveu a go.a mfil.t. inscrlhed .on one side with the- - names of the thirty-thre- e nations represented among the men and women present and on the \other side with words commemorat ne \his Dart In the liberation of the world.\ The presentation was made bv Marcel Knecht of the French High Commission and A. J. Hemphill, and a moment later the Cardinal, Introduced by Coleman du Pont, chairman of the council, told of some of his Impressions of America and Its lure for the foreigner. \For three weeks now I am a citizen of New York.\ Cardinal Mercler said. I feel It will be hard for me to go away. If I tvero not called home by duty I would become one of your problems In Americaniza tion.\ The variety of racial strains present did not limit appreciation of Cardinal Mcroier's description of hi3 visit to Phila delphia and then to Boston. In both places, he said, he was told \i'ou arc now In the cradle of liberty.\ Ho praised highly American \love of liberty\ and ''love of labor\ and American re- spect for religion. \Several times I, a Catholic priest, have been asked to give my blessing, and all, whether Catholic or showed respect,\ he de- clared. \After some days I shsJl go home,\ he continued. \Still who knows? If I were obliged to give up the ministry I would not refuse to spend my last days In showing you that I am capable of becoming a thorough American.\ Mr. Hughes declared \the safety of America In the future lies in our ability to show the same faith that Belgium showed under his leadership.\ which ho described as \the greatest moral leader- ship of the war \ His tribute to the Cardinal was similar to an address he delivered earlier In the day. Among tho guests at the dinner were Government representative of more than twenty foreign powers, as well as New York men and women, members of the Interracial Council, representing the thirty-thre- e nations.

CLERGY BRAVED ENEMY Columbia Confers Doctor of Laws Degreo on Belgian Trelatc. \I appreciate,\ said Cardinal Mercler, bringing, his speech to a clossv \your very great kindness to me. You have en- croached upon your valuable time to come here. You are all very busy, and It must be n sacrifice for you to come here and give mo your attention.\ which the. moro, than two thousand hcidedm?h of affairs who mad up the major part of his audience yesterday at a luncheon tendered htm by the Mer- chants Association at the Hotel Astor arose ami accla med him with long, cheers of appreciation and pleasure. For In two ways quite unrelated to each other he had contrived to make them forget all about their business desks and their multitudinous concerns up and downtown. He had taken them with him Into the realm of the purely spiritual, telling them of his travail of heart and soul when the German Inva- sion was upon Belgium and It became necessary for him to decide upon his Whole duty and then go about It un- flinchingly- All this he explained with- out any touch of reticence, reciting the facta freely. And then, giving for the first time a detail about his famous encyclical letter of Christmas, 1914, he told them a story of a round Dutch Cheese that as an Instance of top grade business acumen and efficiency set every practical man of them rubbing his hnn I With a relish that none tried tovonv. \I had,\ of course, foreseen,\ he said, \that my letter would displease our oc- cupying1 friends, the Germans, go I de- cided It would be well to arrange for its publication out of the country at the same tlm'e It was published In Belgium. So six days before the printing of the letter I .sent It ahead to Holland. Letter Sent Into Holland. \i had In Holland a very good priest who was my representative among our refugees there. I first despatched a copy ' to him by a young man. very cour- ageous, who tried to et Into Holland. I never learned whether he was able to pass. A second way of sending my let- ter was by a little boat which was about to sail down the Scheldt That way also I employed. But I had a third one. more sure than either, and this succeeded surely. \At the frontier between. Holland and Belgium we have a seminar' with seven or eight hundred students in It. and for their living they receive very frequently a number of Dutch cheeses In boxes. Many of the boxes come to Belgium from Holland for commerce. .And as the Germans liked the cheese they allowed tt to.'pass Into our country. \Well. I thought I could send my let ter In a very sure way this way. When the cheeses came to our Belgium semi- nary from Holland they arrived wrapped In papers which were afterward care- fully sent back. By then, of course, they were old and stained. So I wrote my\ letter on paper which I had care- fully made old and filthy and soiled looking and my friend In due time re coived It. He took it and \published It and had It sent to Franco and England and you In America got It from England and It was published here on the same morning that German officers were up braldln-- mo for it at home.\ Previously Cardinal Mercler had told his hearers of his spiritual trial on hearing that Belgium was invaded. The news had come to him In the garden of the Vatican at Rome, to which city he had gone to attend the election by which Benedict XV. was chosen Pope. \It was as you can fancy a frightful moment. But then Almighty God ac corded me another moment, a moment Of calm reflection, and as In a vision saw that It would be Impossib'le that Justice would allow to live without pun lfchment those guilty of Invading the foil ot a weak and Innocent people, and that It would be equally Impossible that CTou. our Father, would not look with mercy on n nation which bar sacrificed eveiy-thln- g It had for the aim ot keeping faith and honesty alive. \When I remembered that I under- stood that It was my duty to be the spokesmen of my people, and God gave me the necessary grace. But all that J 'xV; 1890 THE SUN;- - WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1919. was dcnlred was desired by the people. I was only the spokesman ot their na? tlonal soul. \But once sgatn before writing my letter I was In' A very critical moment. Having, returnbd ta Belgium .from pom I learned there that the Invaders h4 committed, perpetrated everywhere, cruelties on Innocent people. Hundreds and hundreds of civilians were killed, without pretext surely, without any rea- son, without any pretence of Judgment before tho sentence. Women and chil- dren had been killed. In many little vil- lages of' Luxemberg the population was reduced to eomel old men and women, all who were young- - arid capable of run nlng away had tuh a Why, 'and so I1 found Belgium at that moment terrorized. The burning of Louraln, the burning- bf that city In my diocese had spread every where' a feeling ot tear and terror. \Then I asked myself what to do. Should I openly show to the Germans occupying Belgium that we were decided to defend all rights to the end? My friends, many of them, 'said, 'If you do that our situation will be worse. The might of the Huns Is much stronger than our poor Belgium. They would use and abuse the'r might, and cruelties would follow other cruelties.' In fact, could foresee turmoil untold. But I said, 'If I keep silent our ptople are tempted now to despair. Will they not go .to dark despair, and from dark despair .we may expect all evlh consequences, universal revolution with bloody repression?' What to Col Priest Acts aa General. \I remember very well that one of my friends who was a man ot courage but very prudent, said to me, 'If you write a letter, of course, your Intent on Is that that letter shall bo read in the churches by your priests In the parishes. Well, If you like, you may expose your own person to danger; you may expose your liberty and your life If you like, but have you the right to expose the liberty ana the life of your clergy? I state before you tho question that was before m conscience In December, I'ilt, and my answer, first to myself and then In my letter, was this: 'Are you r ght to en- rage the life and the liberty of your cleriyr I answered to myself.

If we had a chance to be morally stronger than they were materially, the only chance was to show them that 'We Would nut tremble In. their precence.\ After the lunoneon yesieruay turuuiu Mercler was driven to Columbia Univer sity, whlcn, honoring him as other Amer ican universities nave aireaoy none, made him one of her alumni by confer- ring upon him the degree of doctor of laws. The degree waa conferred by Nicholas Murray' Butler, president' of the Institu tion, on the library steps, in tne presence to'f the faculty, the student body ana hundreds of d Mlngulshed guests, and with perfect weather to make the cere- mony and the day memorable.
