so 1t must ever be.
What, then. is the mission OF this
great school? They who baptized hel
in the lustral waters of faith crystal
liked her meaning and her destiny
when they named her the Catholic
University of America. AS Catholic
she is child of the church; as a uni
versity she is the alma mater of learn
ing; as existing in America she Is
dedicated to democracy. Her mission
is to perpetuate the ancient friendship
of the church with science and democ
racy.
Let it not be said that the church
Is to be made conformable to what is
called the thought and the science Of
the day. Out of that mistaken pur
pose rose Modernism. Let it not be
said that the church must align her
self with the aspirations Of the people
for personal liberty. Out of that error
grew Socialism. 1t is the sublime
boast Of the church that she remains
the one eternal and unchanging thing
in world Of death and change. Her
cornerstone is the immutable' and i'm.
perishable Christ. She was divinely
Orientated forever on the morning of
her birth. Like Christ, being lifted
I up. she draws all things to herself.
She goes not as a sutton to either
science or the people; by a necessity
OF her being, learning must come to
her as handmade to a queen; life
must come to her as a child to a
mother.

NEUTRAL SYMPATHY FOR MANKIND

It good account of American neutrality that the President in his to the Associated Press in New York City, with America first" as a text The words worth remembering.
 Let think of America before we think of Eu- he said "in that America may be fit to be Europe friend the day of tested friendship comes The test of friendship is not now sympathy with the one side the other but getting ready to help both sides when the struggle is over
 The basis of neutrality is not indifference. 1t is not selfinterest The basis of neutrality sympath, for mankind It is fairness it good will at bottom it is mpartiality of spirit and judgment
 "I interested neutrality because there is some thing so much greater do than fight because there is distinction waiting for this nation that no nation has ever yet got That is the distinction of absolute self control and seltmastery"
 He made his appeal mot to the talkatiye man. not the partisan the man that remembers first that he is Republican Democrat or that his par ents were German English. but remembers ars, that the whole destiny of modern affairs centers largely on his being American first of all"
 This is not the expression Of impossible ideal represents the actual attitude of great body of Amer cans today. perhaps of the majority Of Americans
 Most of our people undoubtedly have this "sympa. hr for mankind" this fairness" this good will" which the President calls the basis of neutrality" Thes, traits do interfere with their judgment of the Wal and there is why they should IL is our sym pahy for al the nations of love for one alone that gives the right and the ability to judge And thi, is what our bitter critics at home and abroad do net seem to understand
 We cannot zealousy champion the cause of Germany or England any other nation, precisely because we see and feel the rights wrongs of the other beIi serents and of the world in general calm survey of all sides is sure to result in opinions as to the merits of the various nations claims It is perfectly patrra and right that We should have such opinions as long we do not faunt them extensively.
 All that the partisans Of any belligerent may prop ory expect of neutral American is that he shall shoa no bitterness, no animus, against any nation When the neutral expresses opinions about the war he shou do so as impartiay and impersonaly as a judge deiv erng verdict from the bench If such judicial att tude rritates mpassoned partsans by it's very calm ness the neutral cannot help it.

 The report today from Picking is that the conferences were resumee and that the Japanese have now pre- sented 24 demands, including the 21 originally made, and received with much interest in Washington But officials had no advice from the Chi nese capital of any character It is expected that American Minister Re. insch will probably report tomorrow on the result of the renewed parleys.
