THE CATHOLIC UNI
VERSITY.

Today marks the passing of the
luarter-century post in the impre
sive progress of the Catholic Uni
,ersity of America.
Considering its youth, the institu-
zion has made marvellous advance in
q he campaign for higher education.
tarting on a comparatively small
cale twenty-five years ago, the uni
ersity today has ten colleges aft
lied with the central group at
rookland, while a like number are
eing planned as further additions
D the establishment, which is con-
: 1cted under the direction of the
catholic hierarchy of the United
tates.
Despite its lack of years the in
uence of the university is already
'eing felt in the national life. Gradu-
Ses of recent years have already
rned worthy recognition in various
'irsuits and occupy exalted posi-
.ons in the affairs Of State and
country.
The Catholic University has a
Tide field and is already impressive

that can send US the least desirable
classes of people. .,..a =.
The two sides of this whole immi-
grafton question need very close at
tention. Therefore especial thought
should be directed to the immigra-
ton conference which has been called
by the Southern Commercial Con.
gress, to meet in Washington De,
cember IL. Secretary of Labor Will
son has taken deep interest in the
movement, which designs to bring to-
gether representatives of nation,
States, cities, countries commercial
and transportation bodies, for a ge3
eral consideration of wide range Of
questions. Leading among these, of
course, is how to direct the immi-
grants to the farms, where they are
needed, and keep them out of the
cities, where they are decidedly not
needed. The immediate purpose of
the conference has relation especially
to the South, for the South has in
recent years been most alive to the
need of development that can only
be induced through an access Of pop
ulation to work the great landed
areas now idle or only partly farmed.

soon as possible in Belgium. But to
forbid introduction of relief stores
would be equivalent to deliberate
starvation of the people, for they
have nothing to eat. Whatever they
had when the war wave had swept
over them has been used before now.
1t would be a fearful mistake of
German war diplomacy to attempt
enslavement of the Belgian people
by such methods. The treatment of
Belgium has been vastly the strong
est count in the indictment against
Germany. A policy of deliberate
starvation would intensity the
worlds feelings to a point that
would very soon threaten serious re-
suits to the injury of Germany.
