NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Anglo-American Agreement on Naval Limitation Getting Nearer. By EDWARD W. PICKARD RAMSAY MAC DONALD. prime minister of Great Britain, told the assembly of the League of Nations in Geneva that he and Ambassador Dawes in their many conversations concerning naval armament limitation had reached an accord on seventeen of the twenty points under consideration, and that he hoped to be able very soon to announce a full settlement. But dispatches from Washington and Geneva indicated that the three points unsettled \vTsm vitally Important and that on thg*e Great Britain and the United States were still far apart. They cruiser tonnage and the comparative lighting values of vessels armed with 6rinch and S-inch guns. General Dawes sent a long communication to the State department and it was considered at a White House breakfast attended by Secretary of State Stimson, Secretary of the Navy Adams and the members of the navy general board. Cruiser tonnage figures were not made public, but it was learned that the British cruiser requirements, though less than in 1927, were still far above the tonnage figures favored by President Bother and would not give parity for the United States even if all our fifteen cruisers are built. The British insist they must have a large number of small cruisers, outside of the parity figures, to protect the world’s sea lanes and protect British shipping. —.- -■'• Both Mr. MacDonald in Geneva and American officials in Washington were hopeful that the points of difference could be adjusted, and the prime minister said that as soon as this was accomplished he would for-’ mally announce his intention of visiting the United States to confer with President Hoover and Secretary Stimson. Aristide Briand, premier of France, invited the chief delegates of the European nations in the league to a meeting for the purpose of hearing his plans for a political, economic and social federation of European powers. He wished the delegates to submit the scheme to their governments and ask for their suggestions. Briand made It clear that the proposed federation is not aimed against the interests of the United States of America. Both Ramsay MacDonald and Dr. Gustav Stresemann seemed to like Briand's plan. THAT the League of Nations would adopt the Kellogg pact outlawing war as its policy was a probability, made strong by the fact that such a course was said to be favored by Great Britain, France. Belgium, Germany and Japan. In his opening speech before the assembly Premier Briand declared the pact was really framed in the ideals of the league; and, following him. Foreign Minister Hymans of Belgium advocated a closer linking of the pact with the covenant of the league. He held, the former was infinitely' stronger than the covenant because it interdicted all wars of aggression while the covenant of the league left the door open for war when the council was unable to reach unanimity as to the Identity of The aggressor. “The covenant is already old,” he said. “The Kellogg-Briand pact embodies progress.” ADHERENCE of the United States to the World Court for International Justice came a big step nearer when delegates of forty countries belonging to that tribunal unanimously accepted the Root protocol, which was later approved by the assembly of the League of Nations. The United States government was officially notified of this action. Foreign minister stresemann of Germany and his fellow delegates to the reparations conference at The Hague reported the re-

Plans Crusade Against “Immodesty” in Dress A worldwide crusade against immodesty in feminine attire is to be undertaken by the Catholic church, according to an announcement by Monsignor Emmanuel Celestin Suhard, bishop" of Bayeux and Lisieux, France. Efforts to suppress Immoral plays, improper films and pornographic books also will be made. Fishop Suhard is planning this vigorous attack under the patronage of

sults to the German cabinet and received the unanimous approval of the other ministers. The cabinet agreed to take all necessary measures to niake the German people realize that The Hague agreement really represents a step forward, and not a defeat as the German nationalists are trying to Jabel it. In his address before the league assembly Premier Briand pf France declared that at the reparations conference he would have been untrue to peace and concord if he had allowed “several millions of money” to prevent France from helping to liquidate the problems of the great war. Had he held back on concessions he would not have been entitled to be welcomed hack to France. The nations must be ready to make concessions. Orders for evacuation of the Rhineland by the British and Belgian forces have been issued, and the French are preparing to get out as soon as they can conveniently. VIGOROUS action by the British brought about a partial cessation of the hostilities in most parts of Palestine and the Arabs were beginning to realize that England meant to make good on her pledge to protect the Jews there. Bur all around the Holy Land there was seething revolt among the Moslems. Floods of propaganda proclamations were scattered among the Arabs of bordering states calling on them to engage In a holy war to help their fellow Moslems in Palestine. The British colonial office appointed a commission to investigate the race war, but announced that “no inquiry is contemplated which might alter the position of this country in regard to the mandate or the policy laid down by the earl of Balfour in the declaration of 1917 and embodied in the mandate. of establishing Palestine as a national home for the Jews.” FOR a few days it seemed likely that negotiations, conducted in Berlin, would bring about an agreement between Russia and China concerning the Chinese Eastern railroad and perhaps end the threat of war. But the plan failed, at least temporarily, and both nations continued to concentrate their forces on the Manchurian frontier. A late dispatch reached London from Tientsin saying that 3.000 Soviet soldiers had invaded Sinkiang, Manchuria, and were marching on Hi. In the region about Manchouli the Chinese were establishing their first line of defense, but it was believed that in case of serious Russian invasion they will fall back on the passes in the Great Khingan mountains, which have been strongly fortified. Several thousand Russian troops were moved two milas across the border in the vicinity ot Manchouli, and there were repeated clashes in that sector. Both the United States and Great Britain have rejected the Chinese demand that they surrender their extraterritorial rights In China, but in .both cases the prospect is held out that such action may be taken later when the Nationalist government has progressed so far that there will no longer be need for the foreign courts. CAUGHT in a terrific storm over the waste lands of the Southwest, the big Transcontinental passenger plane. City of San Francisco, bound from Albuquerque to Los Angeles, was destroyed probably by a lightning bolt and its five passengers and crew of three were killed. The dead were Mrs. J. B. Raymond of Glendale, Calif.; A. B. McGaft'ey of Albuquerque, M. N.; Campbell of Cincinnati, Harris Livermore of Boston and William H. Beers of New York, passengers; J. B. Stowe and A. E. Deitel, pilots, and C. F. Canfield, courier. Another aviator killed by lightning was Maj. John H. Wood, noted speed pilot and president of ? the Northern Airways company. His plane exploded over the desert south of Needles, Calif., and he went down to his death with its wreckage. His mechanic escaped with a parachute. Pilot T. G. Reid, at thh Cleveland air races, set a new record for solo endurance flying and then presumably fell asleep, for his plane crashed and he was instantly killed. Lady Mary Heath, who also crashed at Cleveland and was terribly injured, was reported

Sainte Therese de Lisieux.' In his words, it is to be waged against “the pernicious and worldy ideas of our century and the degrading, corruptive fashions of today. The corruption of morals,” he declares, “is due to the Immorality of feminine attire. The contagion is so universal that the**e is hardly any remedy except to influence the next generation.” In order to inculcate ideas of chastity and piety among the youths of the world. Bishop Suhard has conceived the formation of an interna-

as having a chance for recovery. Jimmy Doolittle, crack flyer of the army corps, was practicing for stunts at the Cleveland show when, in a tremendous dive, both wings of his plane crumpled; he went over the side with his parachute and landed unhurt. Piloted this time by Capt. Ernst Lehmann, the Graf Zeppelin made the return trip to Friedrichshafen with speed and safety. The huge airship was welcomed by premiers and other officials of all the German states and an immense throng of private citizens; President von Hindenburg was prevented from being present by the death of his sister. The Zeppelin's round-the-world flight from its home port was made in 20 days, 4 hours and 13 minutes, establishing a new record. Aijier conferences at Akron, Ohio, Dr. Hugo Eckener said the GoodyearZeppelin and German Zeppelin corporations would join in establishing transoceanic dirigible lines. It will require from two to four years to place the ships in operation. Republicans of the senate finance committee formally reported to the senate their tariff bill, and the opponents of the measure spent several days jockeying for the best position from which to attack it. The radical Republicans, led by Borah, determined to try to have tariff revision limited to agricultural products, and in this they counted on the support of many Democrats. The radicals, also sponsored a joint resolution introduced by Senator Blaine of Wisconsin authorizing all members of congress to have unlimited access to secret corporation income tax returns while the tariff bill is pending. The Democrats through Senator Simmons made it known they would try to obtain the same results by a resolution directing the finance committee to get the income tax information from the treasury. FOUR hundred officers and men, picked as the best of the army’s engineering forces, were ordered by Secretary of War Good to duty in the jungles of Central America to survey the route of the proposed Nicaraguan canal. Their findings and report will go far toward determining whether or not the government will undertake to build that waterway, the estimated cost of which is about a billion dollars. The survey, which will require two years, will be supervised by the interocean canal board appointed by President Hoover. CHICAGO mourns the death of two of her best citizens, Judge Frank Comerford of the Superior court, and William E. Dever, former judge and mayor. Judge Comerford, who was in the prime of life, was justly regarded as one of the city’s most valuable jurists—courageous, wise, honest and a determined upholder of the dignity of the courts. Elected to the Illinois legislature when but twenty-six years old, Comerford was expelled from that body because of his attacks on corrupt members, but he was sent back by his constituency. Physical disabilities kept him out of the army when war was declared, but he was active in other ways in his country’s service. He was elected to the bench in 1926, and presided in several notable cases. Mr. Dever, who lived most of his life in Chicago, was classed as a truly great citizen. He was a leader of Democrats for many years and his record both as judge and as mayor was excellent. Frederick F- Proctor, builder of New York’s first vaudeville - theater and originator of the vaudeville chain, passed away in Larchmont, N. Y. He rose from errand boy and circus performer to the high position in the theatrical world which he relinquished last May when he sold his chain of more than twenty theaters to another corporation. MRS. CALVIN COOLIDGE was given the honor of christening the new light cruiser Northampton Thursday* when it was launched at Quincy, Mass. The name of the 10,000-ton vessel was selected to honor the former President, whose home is in Northampton, Mass. He was unable to be present, however. Secretary Adams represented the Navy department, and Mrs. Coolidge was accompanied by a large delegation of Northampton citizens. (©. 1929. Western Newspaper Union.)

Dean Moody Bible Institute at Chicago, ) <©. 1929 Western Nwspnw » T Bion.» Lesson for September 15 TEACHING THE LAW OF GOD GOLDEN TEXT—The entrance ot thy words pi veth light. LESSON TEXT—Nehemiah 8:1-18. PRIMARY TOPlC—Studying God’s Word JUNIOR TOPlC—Studying God’s Word INTERMEDIA TE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Finding Joy in God’s Word. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Call for Trained Teachers. This lesson is a fine illustration ot the rightful place ot God’s Word in the life of a nation. The only certain cure for national ills is a return to God and obedience to His Word I. The Word of God Being Read (vv. 1-3). 1. The eager assembly (v. 1). The people gathered themselves together and requested Ezra to bring the book of the law. 2. A representative assembly (v. 2) It was made up ot men. women and children. The men did not leave the spiritual affairs to the women, neither were the children left at home The Spirit of God can speak through God s Word to the whole family sitting in the pew. The lesson lasted for five or six hours, from morning until midday. 11. The People’s Attitude Toward God’s Word (vv. 4-6). 1. Due reverence shown (vv. 4 5). When Ezra opened the law, ail the people stood up out of respect for God’s Word. 2. They joined heartily in the prayer (v. 6). As Ezra led them in prayer, they joined heartily in saying, “Amen. Amen.” bowing their faces to the ground 111. God’s Word Bsing Interpreted (vv. 7,8). The attitude ot the people toward Gods Word largely depends upon tbe minister Proper dignity and solemnity should he manifested by rhe minister when reading the Holy Scriptures. 1. He stood up where the people could see him (v. 5). 2. He read distinctly (v. 8). .3. He caused the people to understand the reading (v. 8). IV. The Effect of Applying God’s Word to the Life of the People (vv. 91. Conviction of sin (v. 9). The Word of God is quick and powerful (Heb. 4:12). It brings conviction of sin (Acts 2:37). The divine method of convicting men of sin is to have God’s Word applied by the Holy Ghost. 2. Weeping turned into joy (vv. 10When sins have been perceived and confessed, there is forgiveness. God desires forgiven sinners to enter into the joy of forgiveness. Continued mourning will not atone for sins that are past, unfits one for present tasks, and dishonors a pardoning God. Besides, joy nas a salutary effect <>n onp’s entire being. “The joy of the Lord is your strength” (V. 10). 3. Blessings were shared with others (vv. 10-12). True joy manifests itself in giving to others; pure religion goes out to minister to the poor (Jas. 1:27). 4. The people obeyed (vv. 13-18) From the reading of the Scriptures, they found that the Feast of Tabernacles had long been neglected They proceeded to keep this sacred feast in away that had not been ql«erved since the days of Joshua (v. 17) In the keeping of this feast they dwelt in booths, thus typifying their pilgrim character and bringing to remembrance the days of their wilderness journey. V. Separation from the Ungodly (Neh. 13:1-3). As soon as they had heard the Word of God, they separated themselves from the mixed multitude. VI. The House of Worship Was Cleared and Order Restored (Neh. 13:4-14). No nation or people can be strong which neglects the worship of the true God. VII. Restoration of the Sabbath (Neh. 13:15-22). Israel had. long violated the Sabbath. To ignore the essential law of the Sabbath is national suicide. Unnumbered evils follow in the wake of the desecration of God’s Holy day VIII. Restoration of God’s Law of Marriage (Neh. 13:23-31). When those who had intermarried with the heathen were brought face to face with their sin. they separated themselves from their ungodly companions. Jesus Prophesieth His Death And Jesus went before them And He took again the 12. and began to tell them what things should happen unto Him, saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and the scribes; and they shall condemn Him to death, and shall deliver Him unto the Gentiles; and they shall mock Him, a|nd shall scourge Him, and shall spit upon Him, and shall kill Him; and the third day He shall rise again.—Mark 10:32-34. Obey Commands Suffer, if you must; do not quarrel with the dear Lord's appointments for you. Only try. If you are to suffer, to do It splendidly. That’s the only way to take up a pleasure or a pain.— Phillips Brooks. Why Imagine Sorrowful Thing* ? Every gift of God is good, and given for our happiness: and we sin if we abuse it To use our fancy to our own misery is to abuse it and to sin. The realm of the possible was given to man to hope, and not to fear in.—Charles Kingsley.

CALENDAR REFORMER MM An interesting visitor to Washington recently was Moses B. Cotsworth, the man who has done more than any other in bringing calendar simplification to the world's attention. He is the originator of the 13-months international fixed calendar, and is internationally known. Mr. Cotsworth was advisor to the League of Nations on calendar reform, and has sailed for South America, with credentials from the league, to interest governments there in the subject.

The Philadelphia righthander thus became the first major league pitcher to reach the twenty mark. Term for Light Year Luxan is a new term for the light year astronomical unit of distance suggested by Arthur Ebbels, in a communication to the Astronomical Society of she Pacific. It is the Latin for “light year,” which is the distance that light, speeding at about 156.000 miles in a second, travels in a year. Expressed in a more common unit, the light year is equal to 6,090,000,000,000 miles.—Exchange. Sound* O. K. To hunt on a farmer’s land in many places in Germany, It is first necessary to get permission. A price is set on every piece of game taken off his land, and he usually is paid the mark et price for the game.
