FEDERATION ASKS
CHURCH HELP FOR
JAPANESE RELIEF
Officers Make Appeal to
Congregations 10 FIJI
Red Cross Fund.

An appeal to churches to aid in
raising the Red Cross relief for decas-
tated japan was made today by the
Church Federation of Indianapolis.
The appeal, signed by Earl r. Con
der, president, and c. H. Winders,
executive secretary, follows:
''The appeal of stricken Japan is
well-nigh irresistible. The magnitude
of the catastrophe has evidently not
been overdrawn. Hundreds of thou
sands have been killed, hundreds OF
thousands more injured for life. while
millions have been rendered homeless
once.
THE American Red Cross has set
for Itself the task of raising $4,000. 900
Fifty thousand dollars of this amount
has been assigned to our city. This
is not a large amount and should be
quickly raised by voluntary offerings
But if this is done a large number OF
people must have a part in it. Every
one who can possibly do so should
send an Offering.
The churches can greatly aid in
promoting this great cause. In the
Sunday services the minister can em
phasize the importance of this ap
peal; Sunday school officers and teach
ers can present the cause to their
classes. Many churches will wish to
take offerings. We trust there will be
an urgent appeal made in all churches
next Sunday for the membership of
these churches to join in speedily pro
viding this fund. Contributions may
be sent direct to Frank B. Stalnaker
treasurer of the Red Cross. Chamber
of Commerce building, or If sent to
the Church Federation will be for.

GENEVA, Sept. 6.-The League of
Nations council avoided a break with
Italy late today.
After deciding at a private session
to reaffirm the councils competence
to adjudicate the Greeko-Italian dis
pute, the only action the copncil took
at public meeting later was to recon-
mend the council of ambassadors at
Paris find a basis for settlement of
Italy's demand for reparations for the
death Of her commissioners at Janina
The league council, despite pres
sure by a majority of it's members and
Of delegates to the assembly which had
adjourned pending action by the small
Ter body, did not enter discussion of
the question whether Italy's occupa-
ton of Corfu was a violation Of the
celebrated Article 10.
Answering Mussolini's challenge OF
incompetency, the council still re
served for the league the right to act
in this matter, but took no action.
