Cochran describing his visit to the Vati-
can: Mr.. Cochran says Of the Pope;
li!S frame, spare and almost ema-
catcd, gives you the feeling that every
particle Of flesh which might have main
tanned base or so'il!a thought has been
discarded IN fasting and prayer His
manner never loses the majesty Of the
pontiH, but rs marked by cx:reme gen
tleness, and his voice, vibrant and sono-
rous. is sweet and eXQuiSitely modu-
lated.
His questions showed q close famll-
iarity with our government, and with
the social and economic questions which
must be solved under Democratic con-
StitutionS.
The history Of the Cathiloc church.,
said The Pontiff, Hes In Europe. It's fu-
ture lies IN your great nation. You can,
therefore, understand TIE great interes [
that I take In the American people
He then spoke Of the leading Of the
American bishops, and words Of praise
and commendat tu,n for them all.

intimate and !ndisso!ub!c connection be-
tween the church and the State in

The next day he sent me a large Sill

interest by Maestro di Camera, who
intimated that the Holy Father would be
pleased If attended the mass which
he intended to say the following Monday
for the American sailors. I did 80. I
do not believe any man can have q prop
cr idea OF the soleinnity Of the mass
who has not seen 1t celebra ted by Pope
Leo. AZ the conclusion of the mass our,
sailors gathered in the outer rooms and
gave three lusty cheers for the Pope.
Rising TO his feet he smiled and waved
his hand, saying, Bravo, bravo, good
Americans. good Americans and then.
