Cardinal Thanks Bed Cross. Cardinal Mercier made an Informal at American Red Cross headquar¬ ters yesterday aftrnoon for the pur¬ ple of expressing his gratitude for ttfc part that organization played in alleviating the sutTering of the peo- Belgium. The various officials the organization were presented to hlib. _ y llloughby Walling, chairman of tfc£ central committee, made an ad- dress to which the cardinal responded, in which he said the worn of the mem- hers of the office force of the Red Cross here made the relief activities in Belgium possible. "I feel a proper sympathy for your work.'' the cardinal said. "During the sorrowful years among a people who .had much to suffer, I understood the Importance of your work.what you did "for the wounded, and not only for them, but for those who were sick on their beds and for their families. It was a great satisfaction for the father and mother to know that those who were wounded in the war were being cared for materially by you. "I express to you my great gratitude .I express it to you personally, and I express the gratitude in the name of my people, not only to you here, but also to those of you who are far away, as your vice president mentioned. I thank you also for your great work of the Red Cross. I know your member¬ ship has grown from 400.000 to. I think it is. nineteen or twenty millions. Tilts Is a splendid progress in a splen¬ did movement. Still there is one thing I appreciate more than quantity.it is quality. But for the quality of your hearts and your charity for mankind.for all these I ofTer you my expression of ad¬ miration. and when I shall be back home, after some time. I shall tell my people not only of what you were c.jing during the war. but what you are al¬ ready coming to be, our permanent in¬ stitution for charity, for humanity, and I know that my poor Belgium, my small country, will have a share In your service, and 1 hope also in your help."
