Macintosh, who took for his text, Haggai He opened his remarks with congratulations for pastor and congregation. He spoke of the need of churches in any community, as a church is an asset to any community.

Frank Herr, who contributed so generously to the church, and now in Paris, France; Rev.

George" W. Genszler, a former pastor, now stationed at Racine, and the church council congregation of Grace Lutheran church, Rochester, where Dr. Mehrkam was pastor for seven years.

OHIO LAKE CITIES SHAKEN BY TREMORS Scores of Persons Flee From Homes i in Cleveland; No Damage Reported Cleveland, Sept. tremors shook the earth along sections of the shore of Lake Erie from Lorain, Ohio, to Cleveland this afternoon. Although the shocks caused buildings to sway slightly there were no reports of injury or property damage.

One shock affected an entire residential section of about five blocks on the east lake shore at Cleveland. Scores of persons ran from their homes into the streets. All reports described the tremors as a rumbling and swaying motion which had the sound of furniture being moved about. Whether the tremors were caused by structural motion of the earth's surface or by other cause could not be learned tonight. The bombing of targets in Lake Erie during an aerial demonstration by army planes at Camp Perry, Ohio, occurred about the time the tremors were felt but Camp Perry is than 60 miles from Cleveland and more than half that distance from more Lorain.

SMITH LIKES "DOGS," JAVA, TOO York, apparently has the average peseem by this, his latest photo, Democratic presidential candidate ataddressed some 50,000 farmars on the Fall Session Of League Opened With Record Number Of Cases To Be Decided Persistence With Which Kellogg Pact Has Attached to Assembly's Deliberations, Amazing Foreign News Reviewed (By The Associated Press) Pre-Kellogg and post-Kellogg have already become terms marking an 1m- portant transition point in League Nations history. Neither Mary's lamb nor the old man of the ever showed such fatal persistence as that with which the Kellogg pact has attached itself to league deliberations.

Meanwhile Geneva's annual fall meetings, those clinics to which all nations are privileged to bring their complaints, opened with a record number of cases. Transcending and including other questions was that of encing the interallied occupation of the Rhineland. Psychologically, at least, the whole business of disarmament under the Kellogg pact has centered, for the moment, around French security. Chancellor Mueller Opens Clinic Chancellor Mueller of Germany startled the clinic by declaring the Kellogg treaty meant disarmament or nothing. Incidentally, in so doing, he revealed one possible reason for Germany's alacrity in accepting Secretary Kellogg's first invitation.

In language stripped so bare of diplomacy that the delegates were shocked, he said Germany was unarmed in an armed world and that if the league failed to disarm the rest of the world, it failed in its central purpose. Backstage there were murmurings against the German position and a general unwillingness to translate the Kellogg treaty into action. Fear of a Russian Communist hegemony and Premier Mussolini's expansionist doctrine are gaining in importance, along with the Rhineland, as obstacles to a discussion of total disarmament. The projected AngloFrench naval understanding likewise has been travelling a rough road not only in the United States and Italy, where it aroused resentment, but in England and France as well. The prediction has frequently been made that it will be abandoned.

-Herbert Hoover spent his usual quiet Sabbath today, jogging as he before passed into beginning the the last seven week weeks spring that will close the marathon for the presidency. Accompanied by members of his famRepublican nominee attended services at the Friends Meeting House on I street this morning and spent the afternoon at home with intimate friends of the neighborhood as his only callers. An autograph book bearing the signatures of 2,261 of his former employes and co-workers in the Department of Commerce was a reminder of the farewell they bade him at a dinner last night. A gift, an electric clock, was presented to him by Walter Brown, assistant secretary of the department, after almost a score of department heads and bureau chiefs had told of the progress of the commercial branch of the government under the direction of Hoover, Although the first few days of the next week will be busy ones, during which he will finish his Newark, N. speech and continue his study of the political problem ahead of him, the candidate hopes to get away from Washington during the week for a few days of fishing and relaxation on lower Chesapeake Bay.

The speech is almost completed but so carefully does the candidate work over such documents that another day or so probably will elapse before he considers the task a finished one and lays it aside. Tomorrow he will resume his study of the political situation in the eastern storm center of Massachusetts. Next week will see the delivery of the first of the four speeches he has set for himself before he turns his face westward for the journey home to vote. After his speech at Newark on September 17, will come his addresses at Elizabethton, on October 6, at New York on October 17, and in New England on an early October date yet to be determined.

(P) -Home from a tour of Europe, Florence Trumbull, daughter of the Connecticut Governor, told reporters today that reports of her engagement were "premature," but that 'we have our understanding." At first Miss Trumbull declined to make any positive statement regarding the president's son but in the course of an interview said it would be "thrilling" to be married in the White House, but she thought there wasn't much chance of that." Just as she left the Liner Lapland. Commander Harvey, master of the vessel, asked her when the wedding was to be. "Not Christmas," Miss Trumbull answered.

This fact, however, is not deemed likely to outweigh, in England's view, the cooling of American good- -will which the agreement has caused.

Disarmament Problem Baffling The general problem of disarmament has apparently baffled both council and assembly. Despite the fact that all nations, with the exception of a baker's dozen, have agreed to renounce war there are few signs indeed of any widespread inclination to renounce guns and battleships. Germany has requested a conference of former allies concerned with the Rhineland occupation. The former allies see an opportunity of realizing their old dream of consolidating reparations payments with inter-allied debts. Germany is determined to keep the evacuation question on the basis of the Locarno pact, the League guarantees and the Kellogg ract, and not join France, England and Italy in any solid "reparation-debt front" against the United States.

The quarrel between Lithuania and Poland over Vilna has been shifted to the council and assembly of the league. A favorable direction was given the debate when Premier Waldemaras of Lithuania said the Kellogg pact made it imperative to settle tho Vilna question without any thought of using force.
