MEET
HAS ADVANCED
PEACE CAUSE
Branding of War as Interna.
ti0nal Crime Is Striking
Manifestation

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 2e.-
(P'-The eighth assembly of the
League Of Nations, just closed, is
regarded by practically all the dele
gates as having materially advanced
the cause of peace.
The most striking manifestations
were the branding of war as an in
ternational crime, insistence upon
end arbitration, a de-
termination to construct some ma
chincry Of security to allay the fears
of nations subject to attack, and ex-
preston Of an abiding faith that
the masses Of people everywhere
will encourage and support the
leaders Of governments in forging
an anti-war machine.
Fight Must Be Universal
More than any other assembly,
observers say the one which ad-
iourned yesterday resembled a big
family. with the delegates, drawn
from over SO nations, actuated by
a common motive in patiently striv-
ing to organize the fight against
war and seemingly convinced that
the fight can never be won unless
it is universal in breadth.
Repeated references were made
in the speeches of a movement
among the American people to out
law war by the extension of arbi-
tration, and many expressed the
hope that the United States would
participate not only in the disarm-
ament preliminaries but in the
security negotiations even if it were
unable to become q signatory to the
resulting treaties.
Any world movement to brand an
aggressor state as an outlaw, it
was asserted, would fail unless the
United States would tacitly accept
league decisions concerning tn e
identity Of such an outlaw, and,
waving certain neutrality rights,
would consent not to trade with or
help the aggressor nation.

Gives Three Outstanding Truths
Preaching on the text: "He Made
as Though He Would Go Further"
Luke 24:28, Rev. H. NJ. Wyrick Of
Grand Forks gave three outstanding
truths which relate themselves to
our lives as followers of Christ, to
be found in the text. They are, the
speaker said:
Jesus i. greatly impeded by lack
of faith, lack of hope, lack Of ex-
pectation.
Jesus often takes His disciples
fuxher than they intend and further
than they can make up their minds
to go.
In his kindness and patience, the
Lord accepts our halting places, but
always i'm order tn he may ulti-
mately lead us further.
1--WE lack That dynamic power that
thrust Abraham out of his great ad-
venture when, in response to the call
of God, he went out, not knowing
whittier he went," the speaker said.
"Christ's teachings demonstrate the
remarkable principle that all life is
a glorious venture Of faith.

may depend on whether Vincent
Richards is considered il the rank

proposal to include Rieards on the

already has ranked Richards as num-
ber l on it's sectional list.
Writing in the current issue Of

Il do not agree at all with those
who feel Vincent Richards should
not be ranked as an amateur. He,
played all the playing season Of 1925
as an amateur and since ranking is

of 1925, certainly Richards is entitled

pectation that the tug would be
brought to shore before Saturday
night Today, however, the ice field
around the tug had broken up to such
an extent that the men could not be
reached, although the boat itself still
was held fast, and it may be necessary
to bring steel-prowed ship from Chi
cago to break up the ice and rescue
the fishermen.
Three members of the coast guard
Saturday made their way across the
ice field, finally reaching the boat
with supplies after being forced to
leap across several open spaces. On

of the Detroit and Cleveland clubs
under charges of fixing a game in

organized baseball within two or
three days.

cation. Speaker left today with his
lawyer for Cleveland with the knowl-
i edge that three American league
clubs are ready to bid for his serv-
ices as soon as his record is cleared.
Detroit, Washington and New York
clubs are said to be eager to sign
him.
While Cobb has received one offer,
from Baltimore, and expects others
from major league clubs, the Georgia
Peach is planning trip to Europe
instead of his twenty-fourth season
of major league baseball.
All Cobb seems to want is to have

to forestall a showdown before
Lands, was in better spirits today
than yesterday afternoon wnen he
came back from the meeting with his
club owners, which led them 20 vote
his retirement because of i'll health.
To his club owners Johnson seemed
to have failed perceptibly since they

here in December, and it was largely

clan, Dr. Robert B. Druary, Column
to call off todays session to go to
the bottom of the Cobb speaker sit

in no condition to stand such an
ordeal as he might be subjected to,
that he was enfeebled and in falling
health and that any unusual strain
might be very serious for him. per-
haps fatal. High blood pressure,
diabetes and Bright's disease all Were
among the complications in Mr..
Johnson's case, DR.. Druary said. Ills

away for a long rest, possibly to

The certificate system of participate

worse Gin the eyes of the law" than
alleged permitting of gambling at

The court took the case under ad-
visement after r. G. Ellsworth, as

raised by counsel for tho tracks.
Chief Justice Ellis said the juristsi
had been subjected to a number "of
disrespectful" communications since
the cases came before them. He
served notice that the court would
pass on the cases in due course "if it
takes two weeks, or if it takes six
weeks" A similar case brought by
the Pompano Horse club also is be :.

club.
If the tracks remain closed two
weeks, he said sit will mean bank

ment of between $3.50, 900 and ST.

tracks are closed represents loss OF I
