 Today there are lines etched deeply in his face. His hair is thinning and showing white at the temples. His physique while nei- ther portly nor spare, is less bulky than it was four years ago.
 When he became President he was smiling almost constantly. To- day his expression has changed There is less smiling, more grim ness and determination on his countenance.
 His choice of the fishing camp on the Rapidan now seems almost prophetic. For only there has he found opportunity for a few fleet ing moments from the cares of the White House

BIG ALLIANCE IS SUGGESTED
 BY vON PAPEN
Chancellor Proposes tha Germany and France
 Get Together
SECURITY PLEA HAS
 STARTED SOMETHING
Problems of Disarmament May Be Solved at Lau-
 same Conference

LAUSANNE, June 23.--Chancel- Tor von Papen, of Germany, has proposed privately, a military al- liance between France and Ger many as means of meeting Frances demand for security be- fore disarmament.
 Such an alliance would repre- sent the lion and the lamb lying down together in the field of Eur opean military affairs, the Chan cellor said, but it is the best way of solving the problems which are now facing the Disarmament Con- ference, as a result of the French fear of invasion and their security plea.
 The Chancellor said he was un- able to understand the French se- curity pleas but he intended to do everything in his power to fos- ter collaboration between the two countries. He said if parts of Paris and Eocarno and Teisf1fes guarantees are not sufficient as surances of security for the French, then a welding of the two armies by a suitable formula should allay Frances fears, and permit solu- tions now seemingly insolvable, and problems of disarmament, as well as other riddles of Central Europe, being amicably solved at the con- ference.

THOUSANDS SUFFER

MEXICO CITY, June 23.- Mexican relief agencies are concentrating on the task of Ialleviating suffering of thou- sands of people in towns along the West Coast which were virtually wiped out yesterday by a tidal wave.
 Scores of lives are believed to have been taken but an ac- curate check is not possible owi in g to the disorganized condition of the Territory.
 Dead-Injured
 Colima has many dead and scores injured
 The tidal wave struck hardest at Cuyulan where the death toll is known to be over 40 persons with several scores missing. More than 100 are known to have been injured.
 The tidal wave was preceded by sharp earth shocks.
 Two relief trains have left for Cuyulan, The first train took out over l,400 from the town to relief camps back from the coast.
 Sweeps Inland Mile
 Gov. Saucedo, of Colima, has re- ported the tidal wave swept inland for more than one mile over an 18-mile front, levelling everything in it's path.
 Soldiers are searching the ruins for additional victims and burning thousands of dead fish left on the beach. The fish are being burned as danger of disease threatens. This also made it necessary for a tem- porary evacuation.

 After breakfast proper and one of his long cigars at 8, he goes to the executive offices. At luncheon, and dinner he nearly always has guests-for he likes to have peo- pie around.
 After the days work, if it isn't too late, the President takes a nap, followed by dinner at 8. Then it's into bed by a1-a regular thing.
 As result of his persistent ex- ercise and rigid restraints on his diet, President Hoover faces the campaign for reelection probably as good 0 man physically, if lit- tie more careworn, than the smil- ing. bulky man who was elected President in 1928.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Two months before the Republican Ma tional convention Senator Copeland of New York, appointed guar dian of the health of Presidents, made what he termed his semi annual diagnosis of the condition of Herbert Hoover.
 "I fond" reported the doctor, that President Hoover is in good condition for the coming cam paign. He is in better shape than he was six months ago"
 It hardly can be denied, how ever, that the President begins his campaign for reelection a vastly different man physically than he was four years ago.
 Perhaps there is no better way of determining this change than to compare photographs of him as Nominee Hoover in 1928 and as

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Administration hopes that strong concrete results will come from President Hoover's proposals on world armaments, despite the French coldneSS.
 The President and also Secretary of State Stimson are particularly cheered by direct reports from the United States representatives at Geneva which are far more opti- mistic on the reaction of the Eu- ropean Powers than reflected by the first news.
 France Changes Views

 The British, according to Lon don reports, now believe the na- tions will get together successfully.
