GREAT CROWDS B PREATESGOODAYE * .delein Sail for Rome as Thousands Cheer. . By fhe Amociated Press. NEW YORK, March 8—So many thousands tried today to bid god- dpeed to Archbishops Patrick J. Hayes and George W. Mundelein as they departed for Romfe to receive from Pope Pius XI the red hats designating them cardinals and princes of the church that other pas- sengers of the Berengaria were un- able to reach staterooms, and the ship's sailing was delayed twenty minutes. The archbishops and their retinue were taken to the Berengaria. in fifteen automobiles guarded by mounted and motorcycle police. The procession was joined by an organiza- tion of Girl Scouts, the.Police G Club, the Catholic Club, the St. Vin- cent'de Paul Society, the Holy Name Society, the Knights of Columbus, the consulters of -the archdlocese and trustees of 8t. Patrick's Cathedral, Then there were marching groups ©f school children, students of Cathe- dral College, of which Archbishop Haves once was president, and gray- haired alumni of the _Christian Brothers' School on the East Side, Where as classmates in_the ,80s_th had known the prelates as “Pat” and “Georgi 7 Bells Keep Chiming. Crowds lined ‘the streets all the way to the pier, cheering, chanting Pprayers for a safe journey and wav- ing flags—some the Stars and Stripes, others “the vellow and white papal insignia. Through it all chimed the bells of St. Patrick’s. It was estimated 5,000 persons were at the pier to say good-bve to the archbishops. Arrangements were hastily made for the dignitaries to see and speak to as many as possible in the ship's huge reception room, but the crush increased rather than diminished as the ship's sailing hour approached. Approximately 2,000 persons passed before the archbishops. Scores had fought near enough to kiss the apos- tolic rings of the archbishops. Nearly in Collision. Soon after the Berengaria slipped into the squall and out of sight re- ports flew about the city that she had grounded off the New Jorsey coast and that she had narrowly missed accident in the form of a triple collision with the French liner Paris, which was feeling her way in from ‘abroad, and with the Lamport & Holt liner Vandick. The snow squall, striking at sev- | enty-two miles an hour, crowded the Paris_ off her course toward Ellis Island. In the midday darkness and Wwith his vessel lurching heavily the commander of the Paris dropped anchor. Meantime the squall hit the Ber- engaria, driving her 1,000 feet off her course toward the Jersey shore. Her commander reversed engines and maneuvered his ship back and forth until the squall blew over. It was while the Berengaria was lying in the channel fighting for position that the Vandick, plowing through the blinding snow, passed quite near her. A few minutes later the Paris also passed the Berengeria in the narrow channel. with only & scant 300 feet of water between. GIVES CREDIT TO LABOR. Only Steady Grind Brought Suc- cess, Says Mundelein. CHICAGO, March §8.—Archbishop George W. Mundelein said today in a message to Chicago through the Chicago Daily News: “Archbishop Hayes and myself were both born on the great East Side of New York, within a few blocks of each other, W up together, we always have istiandom’s great white shepherd. We both labored hard for many yea Neither had sudden rise, and those who have known us both testify that for each of us unremittent toil in_our chosen paths of life rather than the possession of any brilliant talent has led us to this high place in the esteem of our fellowmen, It would be well for the youth to re- member the lesson the centuries have always taught us, that suecess in life means a steady grind, a toilsome upward climb of the rough trail to the top of the mountain and to which there is no ascent by motor or by aeroplane, “A l1ittlo less of self-indulgence and just a little more application and hard work in youth will bring a more successful and happier old age. The Archbishop of New York and myself are rather good evidences of this fact now.” MORE CARDINALS UNLIKELY. +Rome Unable to Give America More Than Four Now. By the Ascociated Press. ROME, March 8.—Reports that an- other American cardinal, in addition to Archbishop Hayes and Archbishop | § Mundelein, may be appointed at the coming consistory are considered here 1o run counter to the probabilities. The appointment of two American cardinals at this time is accounted 'a. big siep. The numerical strength of the American Cathollcs has been stressed before the Holy See in the urging of America’'s claims. There is always great difficulty in satisfying the de- sire of all countries, especially as some nations, largely for historic rea- BOMS, Possess & greater membership in the sacred college than the members or their communicants alone would seem to warrant. Italy, for instance, is generally omitted from all numer cal comparisons because her thirty- three cardinals are derived from the historic background of the church, while France, with a population of 40,000,000, has seven; Spain, four, and Germany, five.

REPUDIATE POPCKE'S IDEA Promotion of Nations’ Antagonism Branded Abominable. By the Assoclated Press. NEW . YORK, March S8—F. H. Knubel, president of the United Lutheran Church in America, and J. A. Morehead, executive director of the National Lutheran Council, is- sued statements today asserting the Lutheran Church had in no way au- thorized or sponsored the letter sent to Lutheran clergy and parishoners by Edwin E. Popcke in which Popcke advocated that French francs be sold shoft as a means of crippling France. “It must be clear to any thought- ful mind,” President Knubel s “that the Lutheran Church does advocate financial speculation, ot nor ee [ promote the business interests of any individuals. She is wholly opposed to the preaching of religious hatreds. { For these and other reasons she con- demts ‘what is contained in the let- tér as' an appeal to Lutherdns. She repudiates the actions of tho: involved her in this m Dr. Morehead said i assumed “that people everywhere will under- stand that the Lutheran churches of Ameri¢a can under no conditions in- dorse such an undertaking.” “The effort to involve the Luthe: church,” the statement continued, the promotion of speculation, relig- ious angagonism, national hatred and conflict between friendly nations is abominable.” Popcke's letter, sent out through Morgan, Harwood & Co., Inc., invest- ment security brokers, said the sell- ing of franc shorts would constitute “an economic weapon to crush French arrogance.” = A circular accompanying the letter indicated the brokers would accept a 25 per cent margin, but that all transactions would be _subject to private contract. An order slip. was inclosed. Popcke is the son of & Lutheran clergyman. W e This Beautiful only*12Down made. $50 to $125.

BERN, Switzerland, March 8. —Too many wives may be the cause of a hitch in the granting by the Swiss government of per- misslon for the -deposed Turkish caliph to make Switzerlimd his permanent residence. Abdul Med- jid is said to have three of his wives with him, while the inten- tion of the others to join him is reported. This weuld form a to- tally un-Swiss household, polyga- my being against the laws of the country. Abdul Medjld has expressed a desire to remain In Switzerland, intending to proceed to France only if life here is made too diffi- cult. Switzerland, adhering to her old principles of hospitailty and tolerance, is desirous of providing - asylum for him, but the general impression is that his matrimonial situation must first be cleared up. - SOCIAL WORKERS MEET. - Americanization to Be Discussed at Bession Tomorrow.
