IN ANNUAL MEETING.
Board of Directors of Catholic Uni
versity to Assemble

Arrangements have been made for the
semi-annual conference of the directors of
the Catholic University TO be held next
week. There will be present also a dis
tnguished body of Catholic prelates who
will attend the annual meeting of the HER
srchy. The directors of the university will
hold their meetings Tuesday and Wednes-
day and the gathering of merropolitans
will be on Thursday. The remainder of
the week will be devoted to committee
meetings
The French question will be discussed by
the arChbiShopS, and il Is more than like
iy that the hierarchy as body will take
action supporting the papal government Ia
its attitude toward the French republic and
extending sympathy 10 the hierarchy of
France The archbishopS have confined
their councils strictly to subjects put be-
fore them by the suffragan bishops of their
archdiocese. If they make this departure,
and send resolutions to Rome and to
France il will mark the entrance of the
American hierarchy into the domain of In
ternational politics.
The question of the Peters pence will
also be subject of consideration. This
would mean TO increase the amount from
Its present status of about s30O,eO0 annu-
ally TO 81 .OO060O and two collections annu-
ally in every parish are to be recomme nded
instead of a single one. 1t is felt by the
majority of Catholics that while they have
always responded TO every demand. and
In the most generous way, the i'm
portanCe of according consideration TO the
powerful and self-sustaining church of the
west has not been duly considered in Rome
The open hostility of the present papal
secretary of state, Cardinal Merry del VAL
TO according honor TO Americans Is an
other cause of dissatisfaction. Cardinal
Merry del Walls unfriendliness dates from
the spanish American war, when his
father was Spanish ambassador to the
Vatican.
