Ills first stop was Albany, where he was to become the guest of the stale in n formal welcome exteuded by Governor Smith.

His reply was : "A general has tho right to expose the lives of his soldiers. I am tho gen eral. I will cxposo the lives of my soldiers. Good soldiers alwayB obey." Tlio letter was read, ho said, by every one of his priests. To the Germans lie ' said: j "I atu the master. They obey." Brand Wbttlock. former minister to 1 Belgium, paid a glowing tribute to the I heroism, patriotism and loyalty of Bel gium's primate, declaring that he had run all the risks that soldiers run nl the front. j Bishop Burch Speaks i Tho toastmaster, Hodman Wnna maker, introduced a new bishop, the Ulght Ilcv. Charles S. Burch, who yesterday afternoon becnmQ bishop elect of the Episcopal diocese of New ! York. Referring to the cardinal as a high servant of God, Bishop Burch said: "The American people love you and owe you a debt of gratitude they can not repay." George J.

Albany, N. Y., Sept. 18. A greeting such as has been accorded here to but few distinguished guests awaited Car dinal Mercler upon his arrival today to be formally welcomed to New York state. Governor Smith's welcoming com mittee, composed of more thuu -00 state and municipal officials, escorted by u battalion of state guard tropps, was in readiness to receive tho distinguished prelate at the train. Enthusiastic crowds lined the streets for the short parade to the Capitol. Later Cardinal Mercler was to be the central figure at n reception in the state education building, where his formal welcome by Governor Smith and addresses of greeting were to be made , by Bishop Gibbons, of the Catholic Dio cese of Albany, and Rabbi Eli Slayer. A dinner at th episcopal residence of Bishop liibbous was the closing feature uf the program.

New Tork, Sept. 18. The Boston police, bv eoin? on strike have chal lenged the constitution of the United States, Elihu Root snM lt ni"M in an address at the National Security League's Constitution rn" cpleh-ntion. "We cannot maintain this constitu tion without insisting upon being followed." said Mr. Root. "We can not maintain it by laughing at those who try to make a joke of it. We cannot maintain it by being tolerant and liberal and indifferent towards those who attack It. We mubt stand for it when it is challensed. "And it is being challenged today, here, there and iu a hundred direc tions. Most notably it is challenged by the pplice strike in Boston now. -"That raises distinctly the question whether our system of government rep resentcd in this constitution provides for free, popular government. Every officer, legislative, executive, judicial, military, is tho servant of all the people not of any class, not of any group, not of any calling, not of any race, not of any religion but all. And that is fundamental to our democracy. "The po ice strike in Boston means that tbe men wno uavo neen empioyeu and who have taken their oaths to maintain order and suppress crime, as the servants of all the people, are refus- I lug to perform that solemn duty unless they are permitted to ally themselves ' with, affiliate themselves with, become , members of, a great organization which contains perhaps 3 per cent of tho people. .... I ''Now. if that is done, that is the end, I except for a revolution. Government cannot be maintained unless it has the power to use force. "If the power to use force passes from i tbe 07 per cent of tho whole people of j the united states, or irom iu per ceni of thewbole people of the United States, to this organization of 3 per tent the 07 per cent are no longer a self-governing people." a9 rf wm eLANG I'li V5w m eoR.OERMANTOWN SQUINT OR SMILE?
