BELGIAN CAUSE
MEMORIAL FUND, CARDINAL
MERCIER OF BELGIUM, IS
SHORT OF FUNDS.
The American nation has shown '
the highest appreciation of the raor
) al greatness of the Primate of Be
I gium for it is stated the journey of
* Belgium’s illustrious citizen, Cardinal
Mercier, thru the United States, was
a veritable triumphal progress. Many
cities desired to inscribe his name
on theii roll of honor and numerous
universities offered him the Degree
of Doctor of Divinity. Cardinal Mer
1 cier has said that the happiest mo
ment of his life were those spent
in the United States.
At the time of Cardinal Mercier’s
Oolden Jubilee, last year, a commit
tee was formed under the chairman
ship of Count Carton de Wiart, ex
, Prime Minister of Belgium, for the
i purpose of erecting a college intend
ed to perpetuate, thruout the ages,
the memory of this great figure of
the present times. The work has
already begun, one pavilion of the
i college having been erected at Braine
L’Aileud. the Cardinal’s birthplace.
The sum of $400,000 is required to
complete the building, and the com
mittee is therefore compelled to ap
peal to other countries to enable them ,
to complete the great memorial. The 1
United States is the first country !
turned to with this appeal, and in a
letter received by the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce last week, citizens
of Seward are asked to contribute
to the cause.
